29/52

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”
Che: Plane, car and Astro Boy in Japanese; this week’s beloved possessions.
Poet: Walking the sea wall on her birthday, the salt wind whipping her hair.
 
I unintentionally created a sequel of 28/52. I also wanted to create an example of portraits without faces; they are still such honest captures of my children.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

This week I adored Leah’s captures of a journey; rich with the warmth of a summer road trip / Elie and his colourful blocks, a beautiful childhood moment / Logan in mid-summer; so sweet / Saskia wrapped in wool and bathed in light / and Matilda and George – in black + white, all the way from Scotland.

    I love the portrait of Poet on the sea wall – so evocative and atmospheric. And it's amazing how much hands can portray – a lovely glimpse into Che's world.

    I adore that portrait of Poet. The hazy whisp of hair across her face, I can feel the wind wrapping around me as I look at that one. Am very glad you liked my Matilda and George last week. Holly.x

    You're so good at taking a different perspective with these portraits Jodi. As you and your children look back on these images, you will see so much about who they really were at this age. Just lovely. x

    poet looks likes she's in a scene from 'the piano', well minus the torrential downpour but all windswept and lovely! and what interesting hands. when you really look it reminds you hands are as varied and interesting as faces x

    Such simple beauty. We will struggle to remember so much of our babies' childhoods when we are older so capturing every little facet is just lovely. Hope your week is a calm and happy one 🙂 xx

    For a while, my kid went through a phase where she looked like astro boy. Which was fitting, as we were living in Japan at the time!
    Poet is looking so big here! Oh my!

    So beautiful Jodi. There is so much sometimes that can be told in a photograph just through the hands or even the act of looking away.

    Beautiful. I still can't believe Poet is only two. She just seems so much older, perhaps in spirit.

    Was it cold at the beach? It looks cold. I can hear the ocean hitting the shore, smell the salty hair and feel the breeze. Brrr.
