"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."
Che: Crab hunting, cave exploring and ocean swimming - the best kind of day at the beach.
Poet: Looking very Miss Muppet and trying her best to turn the hose on.
As I journey from one 52 post to the next it's so lovely to see that you're all listing your favourites. This week I sighed at a joyous family and their delightful rain dance / a tiny girl running on a white, expansive beach / beautiful little lamb, a book and her dog / two girls and their art making process, such an original concept for every week of the year / and little Stanley in his denim dungarees, so sweet.
Last week Fritha asked whether I would consider starting a pinterest board for all your portraits. Whilst I think it's a lovely idea I actually haven't ventured into pinterest-land - it's just something else to spend time on and i'm all for keeping it simple. However, halfway during the year I'm going to add another post to the project and I'll encourage you to do the same - posting three of your favourite portraits (of each subject) from the year so far. We'll do the same towards the end of the year - a mini collection that tells the story of the child/partner/subject. What do you think?

i like that idea. :)
ReplyDeleteSame here - I'm in! Loving the vibrant colors this week x
ReplyDeleteohhhhh so so love. sitting here grabbing a few moments before a busy day. chamomile tea in hand. boys dancing through the house. dogs sleeping. morining spring sun shining through my windows. so love to see the portraits file in. i love watching this community grow. watching the children sleep, laugh, pout & BE. it is a such a joy to watch all the mamas capture their children on film, capture small moments of joy. it is a beloved community weaving in and out throughout this world. when so much grief and doubt and fear is shouted from news headlines, i love to watch this JOY be the TRUMPET of LOVE & of the promise of hope for the future, and hope for our weary world. thanks so for the inspiration. xxoo
ReplyDeletePS. Love the idea (& all ideas!) to further this venture. I was thinking of how to make this a more permanent installation in my house. I think I will do a simple scrapbook of the year. don't get the chance to sew up the scraps their life often enough. xxoo
ReplyDeletelove it.
ReplyDeleteAh, beach time. I'm hurting for it. Looks really wonderful through your lens!
ReplyDeleteI love the portraits from last week that you choosed. I had so little time so I didn't ckeck many. I also like your idea!
ReplyDeleteHow nice is Che's sweet face!!
ReplyDeletei think it is a great idea to do a little recap of the year! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely idea!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of a half-way through post - I'm loving this project!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jodi for choosing Stanley as one of your favourites this week, we squealed with excitement to see his name mentioned! We're a bit behind this week with our portraits, so will try and post tomorrow, Emma x
ReplyDeleteI love Poet's outfit so cute!
ReplyDeletei love your portraits, and also the idea of the extra post, like a breather to re-evaluate and see what we have done so far! yes yes yes! we should all suck on orange segments as well!!! xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteheyo! again, you frolic in sunshine while we are in a blizzard! i don't think it'd be possible to set up a board with so many different pinners BUT you could decide on a tag that everyone who wants to pin their portraits could use eg #project52cheandfidel then they'd be easy to find? x
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of choosing mid-year favourites- it will be lovely to see just how much they've all grown. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea. The best of everyone's portraits. Beautiful photos, as usual. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Little miss muppett is adorable! x

How incredible is the gradient of colour in that ocean? And Poet looks like you so much in this photograph x
ReplyDeleteI get lost in the 52 project each week. I love what you have started, a growing community all connect by your 52 project. I have never even looked at pininterest, way too much social media out there. But I love the idea of a half-way and end of year collection.
ReplyDeleteps little Poet's image is so adorable

A wonderful idea Jodi. I love Che's peaceful and wise face.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea Jodi. I do love the sound of your beach adventure. I love how you've captured Poet's curious nature in this photo. x
ReplyDeleteChe looks like he's grown this week!?
ReplyDeleteI bet you're both looking forward to the upcoming school holidays? I know we are! :)

I can't wait! We're all feeling a little weary x
DeleteLovely colours in this weeks post Jodi. It still looks so summery!
ReplyDeletex Laura
Surprisingly it still feels like summer...30degrees here today. I think we're all aching for crisp air and falling leaves x
DeleteI like the halfway series celebration! This has been such a wonderful journey so far, it will be a great way to mark half the year gone. This long extended summer weather has meant more beach/swimming and water based outings. Have lovely week ahead x
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of your photos! My photos are average but for me it's just about capturing the kids as they grow.
ReplyDeletelove the idea. i love the photos of your children, their childhood is so pure and full of nature :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you making the most of the beach, we love the beach!
ReplyDeletePoet is such a little beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe half way & culmination ideas are fantastic! It will be a lovely way to reminisce.

I love that you've captured Poet's gorgeous spirit in this shot... and Che's sweet smile and sun-kissed face is just beautiful. I think the mid and end of year round-up sounds like a fantastic idea x
ReplyDeletethe second image is too gorgeous. love the light
ReplyDeletekw, ladies in navy
Poet's hat is so sweet, Jodi. My Che has grown up so much just since starting school. They do that, don't they? The Badoo really is 24 these days... x
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of reflecting on our favs half way through the year. It is a great way to celebrate how far we have come :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jodi for the mention this week. xx This project has been such an incredible tool to anchor and mark the year. I love following along and watching time pass through everyone's eyes.
ReplyDeleteI have finally joined in after a couple of weeks of dithering. I love how happy and sunny your photos are this week, you children look like they are having the best of fun!
ReplyDeletePoet looks so intent on her hosepipe task, bless her. I think the idea of a round-up post is perfect x
ReplyDeleteThere are some truly lovely pictures to be found on this project Jodi - each week the quality amazes me. Poet looks like such a cheeky little poppet in that hat and Che is quite the sun kissed, sandy surfer! x
ReplyDeleteso humbled for the mention, Jodi. I mostly feel way out of our depth with the talent showcased here.
ReplyDeleteI may have missed it, but was wondering if you had last year's 52 images printed into book form yet? I'd love to see how it turned out. I'm excited to get ours printed at the end of this year.
xDee
Beautiful colours in these shots Jodi. Have a wonderful week. xo
