I have found that a daily prompt can inspire me to get 0ut the camera and take some pictures that I normally wouldn’t take the time to do. I think this shows my lack of creativity as much as my lack of motivation...so I signed up to participate in Picture the Holidays during the busiest time of the year. By the end of the month I might have some photos with a bit of variety and improved quality and I will have documented my holiday season better than ever. The first prompt has to do with gratitude and it had me not only standing on a stool to get a shot with better light and perspective but it also had me dusting the living room. Now that is inspiration!
I photographed family portraits to illustrate gratitude for my family and realized as I was editing the photo that it also illustrates my gratitude for the ability of photographs to save memories. Memories of my children as babies, of my sister dancing, of my parents in good health…

I'm a photo-holic. But that's OK because as you say, the family's journey is documented :-)
oh wow, I just so love the new header!!! so holiday-ie :-))) really I love it. And the frames are as beautiful! I'll be checking in here all the time :-) happy happy holiday season to you and yours!!
I'm so glad you're posting your photos here, so I can see them. I couldn't quite bring myself to sign up this time...
Nice perspective on your family, beautiful light, and the hydrangea-a perfect touch.
Beautiful perspective. Lovely photo to start the month.
Anything that would get me to do some cleaning would be a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your series.
I love 'em lined up like that. I have them on my sill and piano too. And I know what you mean about dusting for pictures ...
I look forward to seeing more of your results.
:) i love family photos
beautiful framed family photos. i am working on a photo wall of my family.
I admire you for committing to a daily photo during this busy season. I am barely keeping my head above water right now. Both the wreath in the header and mantle images are wonderful images filled with nostalgia.
Beautiful post. I love the photo you've captured here. Beautiful light. Sounds like a great journey you've undertaken. Isn't interesting that such journeys always help us see details we previously overlooked?
Love the angle! And with just a slight glimpse of a sweet baby face! Perfect.
