Grace is a year old – since when?

I can’t believe it has been a year.  I sound like the mom of this kid sometimes, talking about how fast the year went by, how I can’t believe how quickly she has grown and what a beautiful little girl she is becoming.  We did her one year pics in conjunction with a few family photos for the Sinclair’s Christmas cards last week and it was amazing to watch her.  I kind of craved some alone time with her – wanted to just watch, observe and capture her new movements, her amazement at the grass, the fence, the sun, everything around her.  To be in those quiet moments where you just witness growth and a child’s amazement at the simplest things must put your life into some sort of perspective. 

I think that is why, amidst the bright colors and larger than life cuteness, I am posting all black and whites as my favorites.  I felt when looking at the black and white shots in particular, that there was something going on – life was changing and in the quiet of the monochromatic tones, you can see it more clearly. 

 

 

 

lots of love to the Sinclair families!
