i don't think i've ever seen che look so cute.. oh maybe I have but he does look VERY adorable.

lovely summer shots. i must switch to manual.... happy weekend!

I love how tan Che is!

That is such a lovely photo of Che.
Summer means sand covered kids!
I hope you are having a beautiful weekend.

Wow, those beautiful eyes!
I'm so happy to be taking part in this, thank you :)
Kate
Just Pirouette and Carry On...

my word, that might be a new favorite of che. his shots are always so moving. and poet, so beautiful.

this project has really been a highlight of my week and i'm happy to be mentioned! thanks! xx

His eyes are so beautiful and I love the perspective in the second photograph. I'm having so much fun with this project. Thanks again!

che looks so carefree, he has captured summer in his soul there. And Eloise is enamoured with Poet "aah babby, pretty". Love this link up, thanks for hosting it Jodi :)sarah

gosh that boy of yours Jodi!!
so stunning!!
xo

Wow, Jodi, that picture of Che is beautiful. Look at his sandy knees and face. It is a real summer photo. gorgeous Poet, those curls...melt x

That shot of Che is stunning! How his eyes and clothes and hat all look a similar tone in that light is stunning. And such a lovely feeling being all beach kissed :)

Beautiful pictures and kind advice. I agree everyone needs to learn to turn auto off every now and then, I think it sparks this kind of hunger for "more" from a photograph... I love the grey theme to this week's photos and Poet's chubby hands clinging to that chair!

Best photo I have ever seen of your darling boy. Amazing shot. x

Such beatiful clear eyes! Such a gentle soul. And your littlest babe...she will be an adventurer. So lovely. Thanks so much :) x

Oh look at Che's eyes, and that gorgeous grin!

sun kissed indeed, oh my he is so gorgeous, but the kindness and love in those eyes, wow.

Love that beautiful dirty face, look at those eyes! And those curls are adorable.

Che's beautiful smile, and that curl, gorgeous x

Love those curls! Also, the sandy face is too much :)
How I love living vicariously through your summer.

They both look utterly beautiful in these shots, Jodi. Che looks very grown up. x

Che - such a beauty. What happiness in his face! And Poet? Well you know how much I love a girl with curls! Xx

Wow, amazing photos jodi, che's eyes are so gorgeous x

That photo of Che is lovely - sun-kissed indeed.
Thanks for the tutorial notes on making photos larger on the blog. I followed that a couple of months back, much appreciated.

Che looks so sweet and handsome... I'm always in awe of the beautiful tone of your photos, Jodi.
And oh, that curl! If we ever have a little girl, I would love for her to have gorgeous curls like that...
Ronnie xo

I am so with everyone else - wow those eyes! xx

that photos of Che is just perfectly summer!

I was just about to say that Che looks sun kissed! How cute : )

wonderful images Jodi - they seem to truely represent your children's personality! I love Che's sweet smile x

Che looks beautiful here Jodi. Sun kissed and happy, like Ann says above :)

Goodness, would you look at those beautiful blue eyes? Che is getting more grown up by the week - I swear! And little adventurer Poet, always climbing on things... reminds me of your "Poet Winter" story you told a while back. (PS- I would still buy that book if you wrote it!) x

Poet's hair is just to die for! x

happy, healthy and sun kissed ... just beautiful. thank you for the link up {that morning at the aquarium really was a special one} xx

it is to late to join???

Beautiful photos as always Jodi, thanks for the photography tips too xx

Oh my. I love, love, love this photo of Che. That sweet little boy with piercing eyes. That photo just is summer.
And Poet, always such a darling.
I look forward to your photos more and more each week.

My best,
Jo Farmer

Your photos, as usual, are just wonderful. I'm looking forward to sharpening my photography skills in May when Tim is here in Perth... shame you're not coming with him! ;) xx

The composition in both of these shots is gorgeous. I especially love Che's smiling face and the depth of happiness in his eyes. x Laura

Beautiful pics of your children! With emotion - especially of Che!

Oh my - those eyes! He will break a lot of hearts :-)
Just beautiful shots!
Ulla x.

Thank you so much!! I've been talking about starting a blog for way too long - and nothing quite pushed me over the line like you have!! I'm so inspired now! Although my children are now in 'teenage' category - so changes over the 12 months won't be so obvious, but I can't wait to put it all together at the end of the year! Your images are just beautiful. Thank you for connecting so many likeminded people. Simone xx simonebell.blogspot.com.au

Che is looking like such a big boy, both beautiful as always Jodi x

Oh my! That photo of Che is stunning.

Thanks so much for linking to my post this week…the photo I took of Mica is one of my favourite and I was so excited to see my name up there.
Your portrait of Ché this week is particularly gorgeous also. xo

Beautiful shots as always! I love Poet's wild hair. I have a wild blonde at my house too. I mean, a child with wild blonde hair. Or both. I am thinking of saving my pennies for a camera with a manual mode. My sister is a wonderful photographer so I tend to rely on her a lot. Maybe I should learn (and hope some of her talent make its way into my DNA too!)

Stunning captures Jodi! Che is looking oh so grown up, those eyes! xo

Oh I adore the firs image. Che captures the essence of summer; his sandy face, sun-stray hair, and sweet spirit. Lovely shot.
I also must tell you I'm enjoying this link-up so; what a positive community you've got here!!

Beautiful! And Che's eyes are just gorgeous. What a perfect photo of him!

Gosh! Your boy is stunning. I can't get over how much he has grown/matured in the last wee while.

So so lovely to see that earnest smile on your boy, usually he is more serious. My favourite so far I think. mel x

wowwww love these two portraits!!! wonderful!

The light that you caught in Che's eye is stunning. Well done on getting a lovely, natural smile too. Always a challenge with young kids!

Your captures are always so beautiful Jodi. That photo of Che with with colours and his smile is really one of my favourites. x

What an adorable photo of Che....x

Beautiful, as always. x

I love Che's smile. Love how these shots tell a story in colour. Grey is not usually associated with Summer but this is perfect.

Che's sandy knee. So sweet.

Beautiful photographs, I love the second one it's so sweet! xx

Love this one of Che - he has an adorable smile. x

Gorgeous eyes! I would love to get involved in this project...even 3 weeks late! You capture your children so very beautifully. Fiona

Gorgeous photos. Love that angle of Poet on the chair. Very creative and lovely:)

that photo of che is phenomenal! and thank you for the mention! i was so excited to see my name up there. i can't wait to see how my little marlowe grows through this series!

I adore that first photo of Che. What a stunning photo Jodi.

That shot of Che is breathtakingly gorgeous Jodi - a new favourite out of all your shots for me I think - I love the sand covered, sun kissed glow to Che and his eyes are stunning. As for darling Poet, quite the adventurer I see! x

Stunning photos Jodi. I love that you can see the ocean in his eyes. And thank you for the hinters on how to take better photos. I see life through a lense since my family gave me my first DSLR for Christmas. In heaven! x
