i was digging around in my 2007 photos on the external hard drive last night … and came across some unloved photos. i'm the kind that actually edits all my photos each month … just about every, single one … even if i never get around to printing or scrapping them. so i was surprised to find all these photos that i had never edited … i feel so bad that they have sat unloved since 2007. so i edited them all last night (the best i could, since they're older ones) … and figured i'd share them. always fun to look back at how much the girls have changed.

february of 2007. we were totally just playing around … bought this huge lollipop just to take some photos. but the coloring was off … and i meant to redo them. but they're still cute. and oddly enough … i think we still have that lollipop a full 2 years later. that might be kind of gross actually. lol!

i think this is cute … because it's totally sarah's pouty face. the one that really makes you feel sorry for her … and usually gets her what she wants. lol!

august 2007. how on earth could i have skipped over these? sarah is so adorable in these … love that smile. and see that lighter line across her nose? we have no idea why she had it … but she had it for a good year or two. always more noticeable in the summer … since she gets so tan. but last summer, it sort of went away. i see it coming back though this year. lol!

september 2007. this one is funny. i took this at one of alyssa's soccer games … and sarah had either already played or was on her way to play. she always wanted to go play on the park during alyssa's games. most of the time i wouldn't let her go … i'm not big on letting my kids run off too far from me (i'm way overprotected and won't apologize for it. lol!). but we must have been sitting close enough this day … because i know i took this photo from where i was watching the game. no idea why she was trying to swing in the baby swing. lol!

october 2007. we were trying out a new photo spot down the street from us … and this was our attempt in the morning. which was too bright and sunny. so we went back later that night … and i got some great shots that are actually hanging super large in my house.

november 2007. wow … one of me. this isn't a great photo … and quite blurry. but this was actually taken by one of my previous daycare girlies … and she was about 6 at the time (if i'm doing my math right … which chances are, i'm not!). i spend most games that year taking photos for the team … so that's my camera bag on my back. but she wanted to take some pics … and took over my camera for a bit one game. i do love that she took this of me.

december 2007. just some random photos i took of the girls.

still trying to get my project 365 photos together from last week. i'm thinking i may just add them on to saturday's post with this weeks. and i need to start editing the photos from deneen's party … i have about 200 of them that made the cut, which it a lot. lol! and i'm really wanting to scrap … and have some things to work on. just have to find where i put them. what i was working on last weekend involved cleaning up my entire studio top to bottom … so i had some things that i just shoved in random hiding places. and now i need to track those down!

    Love the photos! From time to time I have to sit and scan through each of my photo files. I guess that is today’s version of flipping through my photo albums, huh? Thanks for sharing all of these. BTW, have you ever posted your process for editing your photos? Not sure if you have a particular system or if you just wing it with each photo. I remember you shared always shooting in RAW mode. I know that opens up a completely different set of options for editing. Just curious. 🙂

    Wow – can’t believe even with only two years that passed since the photos were taken, you really can see a huge difference in the way the girls look. BTW – that is a good picture of you.

    It’s always fun to go through older photographs, my problem is I am not so organized with all my digitals and I don’t delete all the bad ones when I upload them so there are literally 17,000 photos that need to be sorted…and to think you edit all of yours…I don’t always know what to do to fix them. I guess I need to take some lessons from you!

    Hey Laura! Those girls of yours are adorable! Thanks for sharing. I often look back at old photos of my girls and wonder where the time has gone…
    A quick question: Where do you get your issues of Scrapbook Trends? I have searched my Barnes and Noble, Michael’s and Borders with no luck this month…I usually can find it at B&N but no luck this time….
    Thanks, Heather

    your girls are complete dolls, Especially to a mom of all boys. You inspire me to take better pictures. What type of camera do you have? Mine never takes pictures like yours(could be the operator 🙂 ) By the way about the line on the nose? Does Sarah have allergies or a constant runny/itchy/stuffy nose? I see that very often where I work (I am a school nurse), the doctors call it an allergy crease b/c they itch their nose by taking their hand and pushing the nose up very often. (fingers going from their chin upwards toward the nose) I hope you understand what I am talking about. it may/not be what it is, just a thought. She is still completely adorable and I didn’t see it until you pointed it out.
