It’s a little over a week into 2013 and I still find myself reflecting on all the good times and special memories we made as a family in 2012. It really was a great year despite the occasional bump in the road. We had some amazing adventures, overcame new challenges together and truly cherished the time we were able to spend as a family.

Here’s a quick look back at some of my favourite photos + memories of 2012!

    I love looking at all your photos. You are really a great photographer. I really love the picture of your kids on their bikes, all the expressions on their faces are just perfect. They are all amazing. Nice work!

    Such fantastic eye candy, I remember most of these from last year. So fun seeing them again, Rebecca! The jack-o-lantern one is my favorite, I think.

    What a beautiful array of photos. My word for 2013 is “Reflection” while looking toward GREAT things ahead! I have to say, May was my favorite photo. : )

    Honestly Rebecca, you have the most wonderful photos I have ever seen. Your blog is such a calming, happy place for me! I remember almost every one of these photos (except for June ?) and it makes me think how fast the year goes!
    You are using photo shop right?
    I have photo shop elements 8. I just learned (read) that with elements it’s not as easy to use purchased actions? Do you have any recommendations about this?

    Lisa,

    It’s true that actions aren’t as widely available for PSE but they are definitely out there. Some of my favourite actions from Addy Lane have PSE/PS versions. 🙂 Thank you so much for your sweet comment!

    Ack! Your photography is always always so inspiring. And your kids are getting so big! I’m super excited to see you do Project Life. Can’t wait to see it taking shape. Of course, I’ll be here copying you, er, I mean cheering you on. 😉
