our new project :: the beauty collective

Hello, friends! What a joy this past month's photo project has been! Thank you for popping in here to see our photos and blessings this November! Rebekah and I had so much fun undertaking this collaboration that we thought perhaps some of our photographer friends might enjoy being invited to participate in a similar daily exercise, here for others to enjoy. I know I got excited at the thought of seeing a couple of my favorite photographers' work on a regular basis, documenting the month of December in their own unique ways.

So, The Beauty Collective was born (see the sidebar for our description of this project). Stacy and Casey graciously signed on to share their photos here not knowing who their partner would be, and each gal agreed to share a photo Monday through Friday through the end of December. We are thrilled to be sharing their work here starting tomorrow! And we are excited to see what they will capture in their days. With The Beauty Collective there is no specific theme, as there was with "Capturing Our Blessings," but perhaps we will see themes emerge as these women create their pairings each day. That's the fun of it!

Wishing you all the best as we revel in the joy of this special season!

Wow I can hardly believe that this is our final installment to the Capturing our Blessings project for the year. I have deeply enjoyed posting my picture each day this past month side by side Kristen's! Finding the similar themes that have naturally happened and smiling each time I opened her email to discovered that her photo was just perfectly suited to the one I had for the day! I have loved searching for blessings woven throughout this season it has been wonderful to document a very busy time in my life with a newborn baby (I am literally typing this one handed)! Thank you to all who participated and followed along with us this month, Kristen and I have loved every minute.

Now stay tuned for an exciting new project Kristen will be unveiling shortly I am super excited about it!!

A huge thank you to all of you who participated in yesterday's installment of Ten on Ten!! If you haven't yet link up on the post below, the linky will be open for another week so keep em comin!

Yesterday was exhilarating for me for sure. My first day home flying solo with my three babes. We had a blast, albeit a few crazy moments too but I am SO GLAD I was able to capture it all. That is what this project is all about for me, documenting the amazing moments that goes by so fast!

I hope you all have an incredible rest of the week and enjoy a gorgeous fall weekend. Get out and breath in the colors of the changing season and the crisp in the air!

Happy Photographing,
Rebekah

yesterday we hosted a large party at our house to celebrate my second sons third birthday. I think in retrospect it might have been a little bit too much considering we have a 16 day old baby who was born several weeks early. by the end of the evening I was so tired and clearly coming down with something. I wasn't the only one and by the time I wanted to crawl under the covers and fall to sleep my baby was very sick. labored breathing, unable to breath through her nose. fussy and upset and basically up all night. this morning I looked outside, pouring down rain, messy messy house, sick all around and in my heart I knew that the first day of this challenge was going to be just that for me - a challenge.

I truly believe with all my heart that no matter what you can always find blessings woven through life if you look for them. I mean the first ten on ten actually happened simultaneously with my dear grandmothers death. I look back on that first set and see so much beauty and life even though that was a sad time. so today I had to search but I did find a gift in the dinner that had been prepared for us by Sarah, who drove a great distance to hand it to me in the pouring rain, give me a big hug and bless me with a warm meal to serve my family this evening. when Kristen sent me her photo it made me smile, a salad another representation of nourishment for the body on this cold blustery day. a gift.

I don't plan to write with each capture, but I wanted to note today and hope that even during this busy season we are all able to seek the gifts we have no matter the circumstance. looking forward to seeing your captures this Friday!

Rebekah
