365 Love Letters Week 14

It's getting harder and harder to be happy with my photographs. The better I get the higher my expectations. I'm not satisfied until I get "the shot" and there are days that doesn't happen.

I just realized today that all of my photos this week have her in them. I try to switch it up sometimes, and I did take some other photos but these were my favorites.
One photo I took this week I LOVED, she's laughing and scrunching her face all up. It's a candid. I didn't edit it or anything because I just love the snapshot in it's raw form capturing her and her sweet personality. I would have used it as a 365 but I loved another photo I captured on day 95 more for the purpose of her book. Here's day 95 runner up :)

And here are the rest of them this week. My favorite is probably day 99 or day 97. She just looked so cute! Snoop also reemerged in photos this week. I need to take more photos of them together. I take quite a bit but most are on my phone (as the one this week was). They really love each other. And as you'll see in another photo this week, she's fearless around animals.

Day 100 is Sunday and I am feeling so much pressure to make it good but I have no idea what I'll do!

 There's another etsy find and giveaway of the week at the end of this post! Thanks again for letting me share these with you!

    Day 95 is my favorite.

    And I love this shop! The Orange/yellow/pink/hot pink polka dot ruffle bloomers are my favorite. I love the way bright colors look on little tan babies (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my little girl will be tan).

    97 is precious. It's obvious you are working hard to change up the scenes that she is in. All your pictures seem to have originality to them. And don't worry about pressure for making day 100 great. Even though you think you've been doing this for a while, allow yourself to be a beginner with this. You are definately growing as a photographer with each photo shoot. It's really fun to see your progress. After all the whole purpose behind this is for your daughter.

    As for Day 100, how about a family shot in front of the temple? Or you could go to the beach, take her to the zoo. I'm sure you will work out something great!

    Seriously, I love this kid and I don't even know her. She is just so freaking cute, it's too much. I can't even decide on my favorite pic because they are all so adorable. I love the pet pix since we are animal folks too :)
