As I sit here, I’m contemplating going through my library of photos from the past year to do a “Best of 2013” post. I’d like to do one here featuring my family and one over on my photography blog featuring my favorite photos of clients.
Honestly, it’s a little more overwhelming than I realized when I first had this wonderful idea. A minute ago, I opened up Lightroom (my primary editing software), sorted the pictures by year, and narrowed them down just to the ones I took on my DSLR. Want to know what I found? I have 8,765 photos.
Yep. I’m serious. How in the heck did I take so many pictures?!
Granted, that number includes sessions I did, but even if half of them aren’t of my family, that’s still a lot. I think I’m going to have to break this down into memorable events.
I’m actually a little proud of myself, too. I’ve had a DSLR for almost 5 years, but the number of pictures I took with it in a given year used to be somewhere around 25. That’s my best guess anyway. I’ve always taken a lot of pictures, just a majority of them used to be with my phone. I always forgot my big camera and, when I miraculously didn’t leave it at home, I neglected to pull it out of my bag.
So, before I start my tedious project (which will undoubtedly keep me up too late tonight), I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos from this past week.
Thanks for sharing! I love family pics, especially Christmas ones. You have beautiful family.
Aw thanks Lauralynn! Happy New Year to you and your boys (even if they are all grown up, they’ll always be your babies, right?)! xoxo
Love these photos!!!
