I try not to post too many sunrise/sunset photos, but I just couldn’t resist this one. After working on sermon slides at church Thursday evening, I left just minutes before the sun sank below the horizon. Besides adding my watermark, this photo has not been edited. The colors were truly that beautiful. What a blessing!
Project 52 Week 2: Modern Marvel
One of my New Year’s resolutions this year is to have a weekly date night with my husband. So after excellent food and drinks at Snow & Company, I shot some night photos of the new Kansas City modern marvel: the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. It just happened to be the coldest day of the year; with the wind whipping and snow just minutes from falling.
Project 52 Week 1: And Now I Pronounce You …
This photo was taken at our friend Christa’s wedding this weekend. It was a beautiful and touching ceremony, from the tears that were shed to the classy red and black colors. And most importantly; the bride and groom were both glowing all night!

365 Day Photo Project in Review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,900 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Day 365: A New Year’s Resolution
We spent New Year’s Eve at a house filled with friends. I love hanging out with my friend Mandy, especially when she has her camera out and I’m not the only photographer saying, “Wait, that’s too dark. Let’s try again.”
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago I made a resolution to take a good photo every single day for an entire year. The “good” part is subjective, and some photos were definitely better than others, but I never skipped a day. I’m happy to present to you the final photo of my 365 Day Photography Project.

Day 364: The End is Only the Beginning
This photo represents the finale of my 365 Day Photography project. It may be a cemetery, but I don’t mean it to be negative; I believe in life after death. The end of this phase is only the beginning of another. I have learned so much about photography, blogging, and myself over this past year, and I know my photography skills will only continue to grow in 2012. Tomorrow will be my last daily photo before I head into a Project 52 for 2012. Happy New Year!

Day 363: One Fine Day
This year may have rang in with a very harsh winter, but it’s finishing out with surprisingly mild weather. Yesterday was another 50 degree day, so I went on my own personal photo walk over lunch. Like most photographers, I try to avoid shooting during the harsh midday light, but I came back with several photos I was happy with. This one was my favorite, because I haven’t posted anything quite like this before.

Day 362: Time to Fly South?
We’ve had unseasonably warm weather in the Midwest over the past few days; and that’s perfectly fine with me. I’m not a fan of sub-zero temperatures, ice freezing inside my windows, or dangerous road conditions. In fact, it’s so warm that these geese haven’t finished flying south yet! I got off work yesterday just in time to head to the park before the sunlight faded.

Day 361: Windows and Mirrors
I am one of maybe 20% of my coworkers actually in the office this week, because most people save up their time off to use around the holidays when their kids are out of school. So I was pleasantly surprised when my parents called me at work yesterday morning, offering to take me to a small art exhibit at the KC Public Library over lunch. We spent some time looking at colorful, powerful murals depicting the War in Afghanistan at the exhibit titled, “Windows and Mirrors.” Learn more about the artwork here.
