I really loved doing You Capture this past year. It helped me grow as a creative person, to look for new ways to fulfill challenges. And along the way, I managed to get some photos that I really love. I can't thank Beth enough for coming up with such a great idea.
I wasn't sure if the best of was supposed to be just photos used for You Capture or any photos, so I did a mixture!

My first ever You Capture remains my favorite: something you love, captured without a flash.
20 week belly. It seems so long ago.
My next favorite is from my first You Capture with a new camera, the theme was happiness. I took it at the Chicago Botanic gardens, on a beautiful, warm day. How I miss summer. And flowers.
And finally, a fall themed one. I've always adored this shot of Luke and going back through archives, I realize how much I want to print and frame this.
This one was not a You Capture, but a teeny tiny sweet Tommy bean taken with my phone when we were still in the hospital.
I want to share this picture of Beth, Arianne, and Tommy. It was our last dinner out before Arianne moved away. We were being silly and the people behind us were so bizarre and loud and I teased Arianne for ordering a wimpy dessert. Right now, I'm wishing she was still close enough that I could attempt to heal with food and love and laughter and yell at her not eating a big enough dessert. Please, if you have a second, give her your love and support. She needs it.

Great photos! :) Love the belly shot...so cute!
I'm biased toward posts with photos - love yours! The one of Luke is adorable.
what a happy last photo
Yes! That picture of Luke absolutely needs to be framed! Beautiful pics.
I love the belly shot. I wish I had one from each of my pregnancies.
I love the belly shot, but I also adore the picture of Luke. You should definitely frame that one!
Great first shot and then the photo in the hospital is so cute! You should definitely print and frame that photo it's lovely. So often we forget about photos, how great to look back over the year.
I love your pictures. They are beautiful! Your happiness picture is perfect! I remember seeing it and loving it during that theme! Look how far you have come! It flew by! : )
Beautiful photos! I miss the flowers too and I'm glad we have photos like yours to remind us of how precious they are. All your photos rock - from the first to the last. But the ones of your boys really touch my heart.
Love them all!
awesome photos! i wasn't going to do this one, but you have inspired me! :)
I love the happiness themed flower. It certainly made me smile.
There is just too much to love about this post. Fantastic.
What a year!
The belly shot, without a flash, is simply precious!
Love them all but that first one is just breathtaking!
Praying for sweet Arianne...
These are all really awesome, Erin. I am really impressed with how your photography has improved over the past year. Seriously.
And that last photo? *SNIFF.* She really does suck at eating desserts, doesn't she?
great pictures - I think the belly one is my favourite too.
Gorgeous photos - the first one is still my favorite.
Between you and Beth you convinced me to post on Arianne's blog even though I don't know her and I have never read her blog. How completely heart-breaking.
Your children are adorable - I'm enjoying following you on Twitter & now reading your blog. And I'm praying for Arianne, what a difficult time for her.
What a year in review! Awesome photos!
Awesome captures. You really did have a great year.
One is better than the next!! I love that one of Luke. Definitely print it and frame it and enjoy it every day. My heart is with Arianne. I know where she is a little and I can hardly bear it.
Can't wait to see what your camera brings us this year! You take wonderful pictures Erin!
Great captures! Love that first one!
You have a great eye for a photo!
Nice work.
All awesome shots, Erin!
Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing and congrats on the handsome baby.
That belly shot is gorgeous! I wish I had thought to do something like that...
Love the first one so much. love.
