365 Project
Before children, in the days before digital cameras, I spent my weekends out shooting with friends or in my basement darkroom. The busy-ness of life and a few moves led me to eventually set aside my camera and to pack up my darkroom equipment. In late 2010, however, I was inspired to pick it up again and to (finally!) learn a little about digital editing.
To keep myself on track, I began a 365 project: to post a photograph every day for one year. The photos you see in the slideshow below are my most recent images. To view all of my images, visit www.violetfilmphoto.com.
Welcome! My name is Andi.
I'm an ordinary mom with extraordinary kids, living an ordinary yet extraordinary life. Join me as I navigate the waters of life with a daughter with cerebral palsy, a son with Down syndrome, an adventurous husband, a wild Westie, a rescued Schnoodle, a camera, and a worn out pair of running shoes.
Sarah Kate was our miracle baby, born too early and way too small for comfort. She was a fighter from Day One and doesn't know the meaning of quit. Oh, and she's hilarious to boot.
The name Nathan is derived from Nathaniel, which means "gift from God" and he is just that - in more ways that one. He's joyful, devious, sneaky, and yes, his eyes really are that blue.
Mr. Andi is pretty visible in real life, so he prefers to keep a lower profile online. He is an avid reader of the blog, so I'm taking a chance that he won't notice that I've put his photo up! Mr. Andi loves anything outdoorsy - fishing, hunting, you name it.

Hey Andi,
I’m was on Facebook an saw the article Babble did One word parents never want to hear again and saw a familiar face. It was of your son and it came to me we were both in CY365. So many times I wanted to mention how completely adorable Nathan is and thought now would be the perfect time to do so. I loved the article and your blog and hope to see many more pictures of you amazing family.
