Becca at 34 weeks. We went to the Utah capitol for maternity photos, and family photos. My sister came and shot family photos of us.

I really like the 'pixel peaking' feature of this Z8. When focusing manually, the in focus parts of the image light up in red, making it really easy to get your focusing right. I just should have used a little faster shutter speed here.

For New Year's Day, we helped the kids create goals that they want to work on this year. Jack wants to do more engineering, so that'll be fun to work on some projects with him this year.

Maggie right after Church. For New Years Eve, we dipped chocolates, and I have a bunch of photos of the kids with chocolate all over their faces, but they had goofy expressions, so I used this cute photo of Maggie for photo a day instead.
It was a pretty good year for me this year. I paid off the house. I started running, and I am in the best shape I've been for at least 20 years. I also started reading more. In 2022, I don't think I read a single book; this year, I read 11 books.

We had a nice Christmas Eve with Becca's cousin's family. We then set up this shot with a speedlight in the book. I should have put a colored filter on the flash to match the white balance to the background a little better. Maybe I'll try again next year.

The Christmas tree. With the different white balance outside, it almost looks like snow out there, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting any snow before Christmas.
