51/52
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”
Che: tired, exhausted and hot but still, the fairy lights intrigue.
Poet: standing in my childhood bedroom, admiring herself in the mirror.
Portraits imbued with a festive touch (and matching pouty lips).
I’m going to keep this post simple – I’m tired, there’s lots of Christmassy things to do and time away from the internet is much needed. I’ll be back next week with 52/52 and then…..well, come early January you’ll notice some significant changes in this space; changes that have come from months of planning and redesigning. I’ll explain the full story soon but rest assured, the essence of this blog will stay the same, even if it looks very different.
I hope you and your families have a beautiful, heartwarming Christmas. May it be simple and joyous; a celebration of togetherness and gratitude. Thank you so much for everything you have shared throughout the year – your encouragement, advice and beautiful portraits.
In love and Christmas light, Jodi x

Enjoy the holiday week. Looking forward to see the upcoming changes. I have enjoyed the 52 Project. I am working on a photo album to give the Grandparents, especially the ones who don't see her everyday. That way they can see the changes over the year.

I really love your portraits, and I think they've gotten even more wonderful in the last few weeks. I was sort of feeling a bit burned out on portraits of my kids, but then I flipped back through your's and realized there is so much more I can do in the coming year… so I think I'm on board again 🙂

The story-telling nature of your portraits is so inspiring to me!
