Since my little girl was born, I’ve taken pictures of her on our couch. It’s amazing how fast they grow. I’ve been fortunate to capture these memories using my Leica M9, Leica M9P, and now the Leica M240.
Image 1: M240 ISO400 1/350 sec f2 35mm summilux FLE – 2 years
Image 2: M9 ISO200 1/125 sec f2.8 28mm elmarit – 1 year
Image 3: M9 ISO160 1/360 sec f2 35mm summicron – Birth
Taking this picture is getting more difficult because she’s always on the go. Thankfully, I only have 2 more months before making the 1 year mark.
ISO 160 1/90 f/2.8 28mm elmarit
For the past 2.5 weeks I’ve been without my camera. I had to have my M9-P repaired because the shutter release kept sticking. Fortunately, it was fixed and delivered to me last week, just in time to get our baby girls 8 month picture. It’s definitely becoming more difficult to get her to sit still.
Here is a link to last months picture.

Tomorrow is Christmas, the first for my baby girl. We know she will not remember this Christmas (probably won’t remember the next). It’s going to be more exciting for mom, dad, and grandma but I’m sure she will get some enjoyment playing with all the paper and ribbons.
Last week Lyla turned 7 months. She absolutely loves posing for pictures and as always, taking this picture was very easy.
P.S. This shot was taken with my new Leica 28mm elmarit.
Here is the post from her 6 month picture.
I started this blog in May and have successfully kept blogging ever since. I’m averaging more than 1000 clicks a month now, thus the site continues to grow. I hope to continue posting weekly into the new year and hopefully will make some significant updates in the future (i.e. new logo, more reviews, and a better portfolio).
Last December I went through all my digital pictures and had about 15000 pictures in my library. After sorting through them and removing around 5000 pictures, I was left with 10000 for the new year. Over the past year I’ve taken more than 9,000 new pictures. The reason for taking more pictures is not because of this blog, it’s because of owning the Leica M9/M9-P and having a new beautiful baby girl. I look forward to shooting even more in 2012.
Below are my my favorite shots of 2011. It’s hard to narrow down to just 10 (actually 11) but here you go:
