49/52

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Che: a very quiet moment (ISO 100, f1.8, 1/640)
Poet: she's got fire in her belly and determination in her eyes (ISO 100, f2.2, 1/640th)

Another unplanned diptych that may just go down as my favourite of the year. Summer light in the late afternoon/early evening; Christmas hues of eucalyptus green and a hint of red. I've fallen hard for the canon - so many possibilities. 

Look back through your photos and you'll notice; you captured a portrait of the seasons, too. Where colours changed, clothes got lighter/heavier and the light threw yellow, blue and green. 

......................................................................................

I loved the colours in Clio's portrait; matte black against hues of cool green and blue / little Chloe and a magical background / silhouette's always please me and this one of Nico is so sweet with the sheer curtain / again, I'm besotted with the colours of the landscape against the bright pop of children's clothes; opposites, just like these brothers / and my friend Claire, always capturing the most stunning scenes; depth and light and beauty.

    Loving all of this portrait series, and I just wanted to say thank you for starting to add your manual setting info too - I am guilty of using 'auto' all too often, but just seeing the settings inspires me to turn that dial! Beautiful blog x

    I never, ever catch any of my kids in a moment like that. I don't think we raise 'calm' around here!!! Sigh. x

    Those are two amazingly beautiful children. Stunning portraits! So inspiring… And I also read the post about christmas and you reminded me of several things that I have forgotten (it has been almost three years since I last celebrated Christmas the "normal" norwegian way!), which are good to remember now as I will celebrate with my toddler. Thank you!!! So much golden bliss.

    like every week stunning photos, I just want to say thank you for your dedication to this space during the year and creating this project, you have no idea of the positive effect you can have on others, and thanks for the mention this week too, sending some love.
