Hooray I made it day 365! I am so happy to have finished my year long goal, one picture everyday! Obviously not all of them were perfect, and there were many days that I wasn't motivate but I am so glad I challenged myself and pushed through!
My goals at the beginning of the year was to shoot RAW and manual which I did for every single picture I took this entire year. Because I challenged myself I was able to learn how to use my camera creatively and post process them to my liking (though I have a lot to learn about PP!)
Mostly I am grateful for all the love and support I received this year! My husband has been truly remarkable and patient as I have pursued my goals. His love and support are unwavering and I am grateful for that. I am also grateful for my two little muses, and even if they won't let me take their picture, I am glad I have a years worth of picture to document their growing.
Lastly I am to grateful for the wonderful friendships I am have made this year blogging and on flickr. I am especially honored to a muse with 8 wonderful women! Thank you for all the wonderful comments and support even if I haven't been there. You all are awesome!
Here are a few more pictures from today's photo shoot and some outtakes!

That's awesome you made it the whole year! You've inspired me to do it! I'm a little nervous because I don't know if I can stick to 365 days, but watching how amazing you've become has helped me make up my mind to just do it! Thanks for sticking to it and sharing it. :)
Congratulations April! Your journey is inspiring and while I *think* I can do 365 days of photos, doing them all in *gulp* manual mode AND raw is daunting... you are amazing!
Great final photo and love the outtakes :D
Best wishes for a wonderful 2011!
Congratulations, April! Job well done.
Congratulations!!!!! What an amazing accomplishment.
I think I congratulated you on Flickr, but I don't mind doing it again. :) To actually complete the project by shooting completely manual...well...my hat's off to you! You should be extremely proud! The last photo is so representative of your fun, creative self.
Congratulations! I'm proud to say I've followed every single photo you took for the past year & I've seen a huge improvement, but mostly, I'm proud of you because you finished your project.
So, what's next? I'm curious!
Ha ha! I love the one with your scarf flipping up in your face. Great job! I have really enjoyed looking at your photos this year. You are very gifted. Thank you.
Yay! Congratulations! I love all these photos! So, are you ready to start another year???
