First off, here is a sneak peak of my first Baby Rep, Lillian. She was so precious and I absolutely love the photos from the session.

Now, onto the other news! I am going to start a 365 Project, and take a photo everyday. I have tried this before and simply become uncreative and slacked off in both posting and taking the photos. I am going to make this project very public and have made a blog for it this time. You can check it out here: http://365.heathergarlandblog.com I hope that everyone will check it out and leave comments so I have an incentive to keep doing this project. (Plus a few people to hunt me down if I don’t post everyday would be great too!) Here is my About page from the site to tell you a little bit more about:

This is my journey of a year in my life. A brief blog to document a year in photos.
Why am I doing this? I felt like during off-season I barely touched a camera, and it was a foreign object in my hands when shoots rolled around. I also felt like I wasn’t growing as a photographer because of this. So I am taking this journey in hopes that by making it a public journey, I will have an incentive not to give up. Also, by doing this that I will have an incentive to keep my photos as creative as possible, as everyone will see them.
Why is this a challenge for me?
Taking a photo everyday, and having it not be the same photo of the same things everyday, is definitely going to be a challenge, but hopefully it will help me grow as a photographer. I hope to learn to see light better, to find beauty in things that I normally would overlook, and just have fun.
So please leave lots of comments to encourage me to make a whole year and let me know someone is looking. I have tried this before and ended up slacking off, so I am really hoping to succeed this time around!

Also, check out the 365 blog for photos of my new frogs, because I know everyone is dying to see them!
