“a weekly portrait of each of my children in 2014”

liam // You decided this week you want to begin taking your own pictures and learning how to edit them. As we roll nearer to your 11th birthday, I see us also turning into new years with you, years where those small seedlings in your soul are beginning to sprout.

burke // You tried to smile at me while playing with your cousin and brother, but your eyes burned from the chlorine. You could only manage this wince before turning to play again. This weekend, you and Liam earned $28 doing yard-work for other families. This summer has been a turning point for the both of you to learn about business and how to earn and save money.

blythe // You still seem to be the first one up each morning. Sometimes you want to eat and other times you drag your favorite fuzzy throw out the living room and read until everyone else wakes up. I’ve been giving you some of our old CDs to listen to during rest time. You told me yesterday Regina Spektor’s Fidelity is your new favorite song.

olive // This week I found you in a basket in your room coloring  in your art journal, as if it were the basket’s intended purpose. You always seek out tiny spots to cradle you, sometimes it’s a basket, other times it’s my arms.

  1. You must just wander around your house with your camera in your hand to get these perfectly candid photos!

      Haha! No, but I do keep it on a very accessible shelf, out of my bag. Sometimes by the time I return, the moment’s lost. Usually I can catch at least one in a week. ;)

  2. I love this series you do–it inspires me to take careful note of my children. I think I may try to do this starting next year; and your photography is breathtaking. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!

      Wow. Thank you, Gabrielle. This project has been so helpful for me to notice my children as individuals, which I sometimes overlook since we tend to spend so much time together as a family. It can be challenging to keep up with on busier weeks, but I’m so grateful I’m taking the time. Plus, my kids love seeing what I’ve written or captured of them each week. :)
