Can't miss photos to take in March

In like a lion, out like a lamb.  Be sure to capture all the March Madness!  Some memories to keep an eye out for this month:

• The first signs of spring (flowers sprouting, baby animals)
• March Madness events
• Loved ones playing in the mud puddles from leftover snow
• St. Patrick's Day festivities featuring green
• Flying a kite
• Windmills (to catch those crazy March winds)
• Umbrellas and rain gear
• Four-leaf clovers
• Your lucky things
• Short sleeves
• Bird on a feeder

I'm so excited to have winter get on its way, that I'll be photographing evidence of the melting snow every chance I get.

Can't miss photos to take in February

Ah, February. The month of love!  In these parts, it's been the month of snow.  Lots and lots of snow.  There's nothing like 2 feet of snow though, to give one a good excuse to hibernate.  And take lots of pictures!

• Kids in pajamas
• Favorite indoor games and gadgets
• A romantic night out (or in!)
• Valentines you receive
• Mardi Gras decorations and parades
• Children creating their valentines for school
• Valentine's Day cookies, candy or cupcakes
• Winter sporting events (basketball, gymnastics, etc.)
• Winter Olympics celebrations
• Feet propped up by the fire in your favorite toasty socks
• Frost on the windowpane

Celebrate winter while you can; it will be spring before we know it!

Can't miss photos to take in January

The holidays may be over, but that doesn't mean it's time to put your camera away! These are some moments I want to be sure to capture before the month is over:

• Snowmen
• Indoor play
• Sledding and snow fun
• Winter clothing: stacks of sweaters, boots lined up by the door, hanging scarves
• Icicles along the roof, snow on the house
• A glowing fire
• Bowls of soup or cups of hot chocolate
• Taking down the holiday decorations (not as much fun as putting them up!)
• Progress on those New Years resolutions
• Super Bowl parties
• Your favorite cozy socks

Start taking these monthly photos and keep an eye out for a fun project to put an entire year together (painlessly, I promise!).
