I’m thrilled to be joining another group of talented photographers for a new monthly blog circle. I’m going to be using the {Inspired by Life} posts to share some of my favourites images from the previous month’s 365. I haven’t admitted it publically but I kick-started my second 365 this January. I’m yet to compile the results of my first 365 (2015-2016) so I was reluctant to start another but a new lens for Christmas and the learning curve that followed meant a solid month of practice was necessary. What better way to start a 365 than a month of the project already complete!
As many of my photographer friends know, I lusted after all the Lensbaby lenses for quite some time. It was only a matter of time until one found its way to me. Christmas 2017 my Lensbaby wishes came true and I became the proud owner of an Edge 80. Unsurprisingly, given my love of dreamy softness, it didn’t take long for it to feel like home.
Before I get around to the 365 images I thought I’d share with you my starting point: Christmas Day. We were also brought a beautiful winter storm, so my very first images with my Lensbaby were through windows out onto a snowy wonderland.
With a few more days practice under my belt, 2018 rolled around and my Month of Lensbaby began:

Ceri these are gorgeous. I am so excited for you that you have your Lensbaby now. I love the optics and have many of them but I do not have an edge and I am very tempted just by looking at your images. I feel like mine have taken a back seat lately but I need to start working with them again. I love all your images and congrats on your 2nd 365. I did 2 years in a row and then I felt burned out. Keep it up.
You with your lensbabies make inspiring images, Sharleen. Thank you for pushing me to be the best that I can be <3
Ceri, you AMAZE me!! Not even gonna lie, I really want a Lensbaby now!! You are so very talented!! I love every single shot! Awesome work!!
