Over the last few weeks, I’ve grown attached to my camera again. It’s kind of odd, but I’ve found that I deal with loss through photography. When our house burned, I took photos non-stop and now I’m doing the same after Kolby’s death. It’s fun to constantly learn something new and then put it to use. It’s also my way of capturing the moment and knowing I will always have these photos to hold onto. I finally invested in some editing software, so I’m having fun with that too. Below are just a couple shots that I like. If you look up at the header on my blog, you’ll notice that I’ve changed the photos out. It seems like I take a new “favorite” photo at least once a week, so those photos will be updated often. I’ve ordered large prints of those up there now. I can’t wait for them to arrive so I can hang them!
Beautiful images of your babies. I am glad you also ordered prints. Too often that is what I neglect to do!
I need to order prints! I don’t think I have a hard copy of any photo I’ve taken in the last year! Lovely photos of your kiddos.
Thank you! I take advantage of Snapfish deals at least once a month. They offer 100 prints for $5 shipped frequently.
You’ve caught some beautiful pics of your kiddos. I think it’s a good way to deal with your loss, you are taking pictures of those who are most precious to you. ((HUGS))

[…] April got off to a good start as we learned that Monica’s killer entered into a guilty plea. It was relief to know that a trial had been avoided. We had a wonderful Easter surrounded by our family from all sides. Four days later, our lives were turned upside down. On Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 9:10PM, our sweet sixteen year old Kolby left this earth for his Heavenly home. Kolby was laid to rest the day before my birthday. One week after his death, Crossville High School held a balloon release in memory of Kolby. We attended Day Out with Thomas for the second year near the end of the month. It was a nice distraction. We also had a family party for Gangan’s birthday and I picked up my camera to help deal with the loss. […]
