In the spirit of new years, and because everybody’s doing it, I wanted to wrap up 2009 O My Photos style. Some things I’ve noticed compiling these pictures:
- Holy guacamole I take a lot of pictures. I scanned through 360 pictures and set out to pick the best 10. Instead, here are the best 37.
- The evolution of our photography is evident. We start with a point and shoot, move to DSLR with kit lens, and end with sweet awesome 50mm lens.
- I remember thinking how impossibly big I was at 28 weeks (the profile shot below where I’m in a gray shirt). O how little I knew about what it takes to grow a human being inside you.
- Just looking at the pictures of my pregnancy cankles makes my ankle skin quiver with fear.
- As I put this together, I shed a total of 3 tears over how small OBaby used to be. Especially in that picture from the Daddy arms post. Siiiiigh.
This post is a labor of love. I hope you enjoy it!

We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve pushed a nearly eight pound human being out of our body without a drop of drugs in our system, and then we cried and laughed some more. It’s been a monumental year for O My family, and it is an honor to have you along for the ride.
Happy new year, friends!
I’m so glad you didn’t limit it to only 10! That would have been a shame!
I’m so glad I discovered your blog! Thanks for sharing Obaby with us!! :)
Have a wonderful,happy, cuteness filled new year!!
♥
Allison, your baby is ridiculously cute. And I don’t throw that out to everybody’s baby. ;)
Wow. Those are some GORGEOUS photos! You’ve had a beautiful year, from the looks of it :)
And, may I say, you’re racking up quite the ‘Sara(h)’ comments today!
What a fun look back. And what a year you’ll have in 2010! It just keeps getting better.
Aw! I love this! Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year! (and one more for good measure !)
Love the photos. Your son is too precious!!
Oh, now this is brilliant. I love it all. What an incredibly meaningful year for you guys! So many favorites. So gorgeous. Glory to God!
Found your blog because through CupCake’10, and I just love the photos in this post! You had a wonderful year. Looking forward to meeting you next weekend. :)
AH! I am so incredibly excited for Cupcake. SO. EXCITED. I also can’t believe it is next freakin’ weekend. Happy New Year and see you soon! Thanks for visiting.
I’m just a random person who came across your site and I want to say that I love your pics and your baby is GORGEOUS. Truly beautiful. So awesome of you to capture all of this for your family.
Hi JMW! Thanks for letting me know you’re here… there is no such thing as a ‘random person’ :). It’s a lot of work some days, but I think you’re right, I am capturing it FOR MY FAMILY. You know, since I don’t have time to scrapbook anymore. I hope you’ll be back!
Hi Allison, I love your blog. I am one of the few that stumble upon it. I love your little guy. He is so cute. I believe my little peanut is about 1 month 1/2 older. Anyway, I would love to know what kind of camera you use. Your pictures inspire me to get a better camera. Let me know:) Thanks! Laurel
Laurel,
First, I love your name. If OBaby had been a girl, I would have loved to name him that, except that it sounds ridiculous with our last name: Laurel Olfelt [enough L's much?]
Second: We have a Cannon Rebel XTi with a 50mm fixed lens. I think our total investment was $700 or so, and worth every penny to document our lives in such a easy, pretty way! Best of luck with taking pictures!
Okay, I really have to say that I tend to stumble on baby blogs and websites here and there… I have a baby clothing site, so I have to “do my research.” But I have NEVER had such an enjoyable time looking at pictures of people I don’t know! Your baby is too freaking cute! And the “daddy arms” picture – too much. Loved it. Love it all!
What a fun job! Both the baby clothing and the ‘research’. I happen to know a pretty cute baby and an amateur photog if you ever need product pictures ;).
Thanks for stopping by!
