3/52
“A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014.”
Poet: oh little one, you are growing up so fast.
My friend Luisa took this photo unbeknownst to me. Such a beautiful gift, to receive a moment captured, especially one I didn’t observe. It was rather serendipitous that she took it this week as I’m currently without a camera (Daniel took the mkiii with him and I’m waiting on delivery of a 6D).
I’ve started creating my 2012 and 2013 “The 52 Project” books with Artifact Uprising. In 2012 my photos were in a variety of folders (labelled “autumn” and “new folder” and “adventures” – yes, very random) which means finding the correct files has been both time-consuming and frustrating. In 2013 I created a “2013 – The 52 Project” folder and I saved each week’s portraits as “Poet 3/52 – print” and “Poet 3/52 – web”…I highly recommend you create a system like this – it will save you lots of time in the long run.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Your photos – so many beautiful captures! But it was the little girl in the glistening lake that sung to my Australian heart / Oh Anaru; little boy, golden sand, big, swirling summer sky / Lola swings high – so much ahead of her / Lucy and her red recorder – so, so sweet / and finally, the light, the lightness, the laughter – an unforgettable portrait.

this might just be one of my all time favorites of poet!

What a gorgeous, gorgeous photo of Poet! Such a beautiful and moving gift from a friend 🙂
Beautiful. How gorgeous is her little shirt?
I just created this same system! And this is such a beautiful portrait.
thanks jody, for posting me!
I'm here following you everyday. 🙂
so I will be in New Zeland so close to all of you (bloggers that i follow) who live in australia.
Next year I will visit Australia.
love mariana
beautiful photo. long time reader and excited to start participating in this incredible project.
This is stunning, probably my favorite portrait of Poet ever. I particularly love her expression, body language and the juxtaposition of her florals, stripes, and leather saltwaters with the green of the foliage and the peeling paint. I have a 6D and love it more than I thought possible. I am excited to see what you will do with it. I have a 50mm 1.4 and a 35mm 1.4 and I am tempted to try a zoom. As always, thank you for the inspiration!

Such a sweet gift, and such a precious photo 🙂
this is such a beautiful portrait of Poet. i think my fave until now. love everything about it. her expression, the light, the mixed prints… beautiful
They really do grow up so quickly…too quickly. I have noticed my little man has lost his roundness…he is becoming more lean and angular…such a little boy.
One of my favourite portraits of Poet for sure. You can really see the maturity in her now can't you. It's so wonderful and scary how they grow so fast
What a stunning picture! She is so gorgeous!
Lovely photo, she looks like she has a wise old soul in there
AMAZING!
She is the absolute image of her Mumma! What a beautiful portrait. I saved my portraits in web and print folders towards the end of last year and gosh I wish I'd started sooner. Hope your Sunday is a lovely one 🙂 xx
This took my breath away. Can I have hair like hers please? 😉 I do the same, saving my photos in "52 Project" folders like you, keeps me very organised. Do you still shoot on your Lumix GF1 at all?
Such a lovely photo and so lovely that your friend took it. I love seeing photos of my kids that other people take, it is like they capture another part of them. xo
This portrait is breathtaking!
this is beautiful (they're always so beautiful) I love the colours in this one x
Really grown up here!
Ah she's growing fast and really loving how peaceful she looks here x
Definitely a favourite. You can almost see a bit of the woman she will someday become. Luna. x
Beautiful, I love the eye contact!
Another amazing portrait of beautiful Poet. I trust your simple approach is carrying you through the first week of solo parenting. Thinking of you. Melinda x
Poet looks crazy grown up! Kellie xx
What a stunning portrait! Truly beautiful, capturing her faery wild sweetness. I save all my 52 project photos in a separate folder too, it makes things much easier : ) And thankyou for the photo love for my capture of Anaru last week, that big swirling Summer sky is something else : )
Oh my stars, such a divine portrait of Poet. Just beautiful x
That is an absolutely beautiful shot. Perfection. x
Luisa is so talented. Stunning photo.
Jodi the picture is beautiful…. a moment captured of a little girl. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane, Australia
all that colour is easy on the eye, and isn't you little miss looking grown up all of a sudden x
Those eyes! Actually her clothes too, they're so gorgeous!
How do you keep all your photos safe? I have a hard drive but after having one fail I'm still to afraid to delete anything and as a result I have no memory on my laptop! What's your solution?xxxx
gorgeous! I love that shirt 🙂
What a beautiful portrait. Look at those gorgeous curls!
I just discovered your link up, YAY! I've been sharing a weekly portrait of my two children since the new year (instead of daily photos which I've done the last two years) and I'm so excited to see other people's. x
Love Luisa's work, and this is no exception. What serendipity!
so beautiful! I love that photo

That is a stunningly beautiful photograph. What a very special gift.
Jo :o)x
Lovely shot! I love all the patterns Poet is wearing. 🙂
stunning picture! i'm organizing my 52/2013 pictures and i really need a new way to save them! i'll follow your advice!
The photo of Poet is beautiful! Just a note, that first photo of the child in the lake is actually of a boy. Loving your new space here on practisingsimplicity! -Matti
Beautiful Jodi! Just beautiful!
Such a perfectly captured moment and the sweetest of gifts. x
SO beautiful! This is one to print!
Beautiful, love the colours 🙂
Stunning photo! Her eyes are beautiful.
Poet is a true beauty xx
so lovely!
Such an amazing portrait!

I cannot get over the beautiful colors in this portrait! It's straight out of a storybook.
the colors here are incredible! what a gift that she will have these to look at when she is older.

It's funny, when I visited the page I right away recognized a subtle difference in her photo this week. As is ALL of your photos of Poet, this is such a beautiful capture – what a nice treat for you to step away from the camera and see her expression towards another photographers lens… makes me look forward for the family photos we'll be next week! Thanks so much for the mention of Lucy as well! (and I just finished up my 2013 Artifact Uprising book — I had organized my file names exactly as you're doing, made the process SO much easier!)
Best, Megan
Oh my, that photo of your daughter is just lovely! The colors!
Unbelievable capture of Poet! Stunning!
I saw that photo of poet in my bloglovin feed yesterday and it has just stayed with me. Beautiful.
So natural, so adorable.
Such a beautiful moment captured!
Your daughter has a timeless beauty. She is beautiful. I follow you from Spain and also participated in 52/52 project. Thanks for inspiring me.

Lovely, lovely lass! Once you get that Canon 6D, I'm curious how you compare it against the Mark iii. Thinking of upgrading and I'm weighing these two babies!
this photo, so beautiful.
love artifact uprising!
Such a beautiful photo Xx
A beautiful photo but interestingly enough I think she looks at the camera differently in this shot wether it is because you are not taking it or something else. More confident, eyes deep into the lens, I love it!
