At the beginning of a new year, on that shiny new first day, I make it a point to shoot some meaningful photos. In part because they’ll say 1/1/theyear in the time stamp and that’s fun. Also because my whole photo workflow revolves around being organized in year, month, day folders. The new year marks a new root folder for my photos.
Below are the images I shot the first day of 2021. The family and I headed to Bartlett Lake to meet up with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend. They have a really fancy travel trailer that they park on the beach for weeks to do some serious fishing.
My kids love her dogs and were super excited to set off fire works after dark. It was a good time and made for some scenic first photos of the year.
