I was excited to clean out some closets this week and stumble upon a box of photos from the past few years. In addition to realizing that I am truly not going to scrapbook anymore (sorry kids, I know you love your books), I also realized that I need to be in more photos. Thank you to my Mom and Mother-in-law for taking all the photos I found! Since I got my DSLR a few years ago, there are so few pictures of me. In the moment I never care, maybe not a good hair day, not the right outfit, no summer tan, always an excuse. But years from now I will want them. I will want to see what me and the kids did together, to remember that I was there too, and to discuss if I looked better as a brunette or a blonde.
So, although I don't do January resolutions, I plan to be in more photos, especially with my husband and kids. I hope to do an actual photo session with a local photographer too, cause those are always my favorites.
Oh, and I also need to do more b & w. :)
Linking up with Darcy (I love her!!) in Project 52. I didn't make it through last year but hey, it's a new year and you never know.

I love that you plan to be in photos! Fab.
That is a great resolution. I too hide from the camera, but after my Mom died I realized how important it is to have pictures. I found very few of her because she too hid from the camera. Sure wish I had more! I want my kids to have pictures of me after I am gone to know I did more than just tell them to clean their room!
Stumbled across your blog, love it and the pics! I too avoid the camera and it has been a struggle to get enough pics of anyone for my annual photo calendar. If you have advice to share on dslr digital I am interested...low cost supplier too. :)
Hi Alyson, I'm a fan already. I just started following you and wanted to let you know I think you are an amazing artist. This post on getting in front of the camera hits right on the note for me too as a photographer. I'm a first time mom to an 8month old baby boy and I think for the first year of his life, when he looks back at his photo albums, he will wonder "where were you mom." lol Here is my craft/food/photography cornucopia blog if you want to take a peek...

Get in those pictures. You're beautiful as always. The kids will love them when they are older. xoxo.
