"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."
Che: His winter has been about two things: a spiderman onesie and long lego building sessions (usually wearing the onesie whilst building the lego).
Poet: Flyaway hair and rolled up denim; so happy on the shore.
It's been a quiet week around here as I tap, tap, tap on the keyboard, trying to meet a huge deadline. Working from home is always interesting; life goes on around me as I escape into a bubble of emails, interviews and stories. I'm not the nicest person to be around at times like these but thankfully my three besties excuse my bad behaviour.
How has your week been?
.......................................................................................................
Reading blogs is always a welcome break from monotonous work. I wish I was throwing pebbles into the lagoon like this sweet boy / or hiding in a field of daisies like Lily / warming in the winter sun with these cuties / chasing these furry bundles across the sand / or spending my time lakeside like Bespoke - water like glass.

ReplyDeleteThat black & white is so pretty. Lovely photos, as usual.
ReplyDeletePoet's photo is just gorgeous this week.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Che's too...it sums up a boy just perfectly.
Good luck meeting your deadline.
Lovely photos, both children so contented.
ReplyDeleteThat second picture is so beautiful. I love this project. I thought about doing it for my little guy, but I totally fudged the beginning of this year. Maybe next year I'll do weekly portraits.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, especially that beach one, poet looks like a water fairy xxx
ReplyDeleteThe black and white of the sea is so beautiful - I love how the light falls. We're just getting into lego now... I put it off for as long as possible... but now my little boy is loving it!
ReplyDeleteYour picture of Che reminded me of when Noah was little and we played Spider-Man dress up. I had to be MaryJane, it was adorable. X
ReplyDeletei love the photo of poet at the beach, it captures the childhood so well x
ReplyDeleteoh lego has filled out school holidays as well and darling little Poet...what delights she gets up to! wishing you a splendid Sunday! xx
ReplyDeleteLove these, as always Jodi. The natural way in which you capture your children always warms my heart.
ReplyDeletepoet is such a little beauty! gorgeous photos as always. :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, thank you so much for facilitating this whole project. my daughter is almost 9 months old, and it has been so wonderful having all these photos of her all year. i'm going to turn them into a book at the end of the year, and i know i will absolutely treasure it. so thank you so much for getting me started. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!

Love that lego photo of Che from above and the sun glistening in Poet's hair as she plays. Have a lovely week. x
ReplyDeleteLego - timeless, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThese may be my favorite pictures from you yet, Jodi!
ReplyDeleteAxel will be excited to see that Che is doing the very thing he has been doing lately. I didn't even see your photo when I chose mine of Axel for this week. He has been hard at work with those Legos.
ReplyDeleteI always marvel at the forgiveness that I am offered by the ones closest to me for my unkindness toward them. I have been struggling with that as well as working on having a good attitude. Seeing my children as a nuisance is not a road I want to go down. This 52 project has helped me in that goal. I love seeing the photos every week!
Beautiful! I love seeing what they're interested in! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Jodi. Love the composition. Beautiful. xx m.
ReplyDeleteThe lego pic is a regular one in my household!
ReplyDeleteHow brilliant is lego?! And squishing your toes through wet sand is the perfect elixir for pretty much anything. Wishing you a week of calm and words that flow like rain as you approach deadline. And thanks for the mention lovely one :) xx
ReplyDeleteYou always have such a peaceful space here. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful black and white of Poet. I've yet to learn the subtlety of less is more in photography. Must practise more!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of capturing personality through portraiture. And adore the light and composition in your picture of Poet. I admire your ability to always capture such beautiful moments despite the busyness of life. And thanks for the mention! x
ReplyDeleteThese are both great shots and I agree that you really capture your children's personalities through your lens. Which is the whole idea, of course! Well done to you, Jodi. Your photography has just come on in leaps and bounds since I first started reading your blog (gosh, back in 2009!) x
ReplyDeleteOh I love a lego marathon! I am joining late but looking forward to trying to capture some beautiful moments like you do!
ReplyDeleteThese may be my favorite portraits you've taken. You definitely accomplished what you wanted to as far as capturing environment as a portrait, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to imagine that we have summer. My son is on holiday now - in my parents home. I missed him so much that today I visited him. He missed me too. I promise him that on Firday he is going home. Home home sweet home... I am full time working mum...
ReplyDeletewe are all about long lego building sessions in our house ;)
ReplyDeletelove these moments of varied 'play' -- thanks for the continued inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese images and your blog are so lovely, I'm glad I have stumbled upon you :) Cannot wait to read more!
this week I have to admit that I'm excited that my two biggies are back at school after the hols. rain! colds! three + indoors + me = cabin fever.
ReplyDeletethat is so the kiddo with his lego too, just like che. love it.
I love that your portrait of Che really captures his current interest. What a great way to document a significant part of his childhood.
