"A portrait of my littlest, once a week, every week in 2013"
joining in with jodi and all the others at che and fidel
jessica: resetting the day... we had started off the morning not co-operating and things were going from bad to worse... it was going to be a long day if something didn't change... while jess was occupying herself in another room, i went in to make her bed... there was her rainbow skirt on the floor... i picked it up and popped it on my head... knowing she would soon follow me into her room, needing to be close... she saw me and started giggling... i said what are you giggling about?... "the skirt is on your head mum"... "what skirt jess? there's no skirt on my head"... you can imagine the rest of that silly conversation... it got us both laughing, eased any tension that had arisen and the rest of the day went smoothly... sometimes we just need to reset... sometimes it helps to be a little silly too...
of course, jess then wanted a turn at wearing the skirt on her head...
half way through the year! where has the time gone? i am loving this project and this week have loved looking back through the portraits i have taken so far. how little one's change so rapidly. i am forever amazed. the following three are my favourites so far.
