My wife reads the Young House Love blog daily, and sends me links to her favorites (of which there are many!). It is written by a couple who love DIY projects. As each project develops, they talk about what they are doing, and why they are doing it. It really is a great source of information and advice.
The other day, my wife saw this post and had to share. I am so glad she did! It was all about how this couple photographed their new baby girl every week over the course of her first year (see photo below). I really liked what they did, and how they used these photos. At her first birthday party, they printed a bunch of the photos and hung them up. I was really impressed, not only with their dedication at doing this every week, but more so because it was such a simple setup, just a plain white onesie, a yard of fabric, and a camera, all setup next to a window.
It all goes to show that you don’t need a fancy setup or a studio or big lights to capture the growth of your little one!
Here’s a link back to the post talking about their lessons learned with this baby photo project, and how they plan to take it into their daughter’s second year.

Thanks, Carrie. They had some good advice and suggestions there, thanks for the reminder!
