1/52
Georgia inspired me to take a photo every day this year. That’s 366 photos (more, actually, because one photo is never enough). I”ll blog a portrait of the children once a week, hence 1/52. I could post a photo every day but that would be adding another job to the list and frankly, I don’t need the pressure.
I take photos to illustrate my words. Writing will always be my chosen art but I find, when I’m writing professionally, that sometimes the deadlines, editorials and all-day-typing turns the creativity into a chore. A sad truth. I like composing a story through an image. Light flares are nice too.
One thing I’ve learned about taking photos – you only get better if you take your camera with you wherever you go.
Poet is teething and likes to chew her toes.
Che cut his toe after a vigorous game of tennis.
The foot theme was unintended.
so beautiful! a good plan for the year ahead.
What a great idea – especially while your poppets are growing so fast!

like this idea!
I'm going to do a once a month family portrait instead though!
I take way tooooo many photos of my daughter and blog way too many times about her as it is!
A portrait a week is a lovely idea indeed. Looking forward to following them through out the year. These two are a wonderful beginning to your project. 🙂
I love this idea. I hope you don't mind if I play along
Ever is laughing and waving hi at your Poet!!! So sweet!!!
Beautiful idea xx
This is such a fun idea…especially when the subjects are so darn cute!!
sweet idea…and a lovely pair of portraits to start with…
(happy new year)

lovely. just lovely.
I adore that second photo of your little boy, such a lovely natural shot (with beautiful light). Thanks for visiting my blog – I'm so glad because I'm now following you.
A beautiful start, Jodi. x
just lovely… and yes my love of documenting has grown by taking my camera everywhere. I love to take pics and I love to look back at how my boys are changed and grown. bless their little toes! Lou x
Hey Jodi,
I just saw your profile come up through Georgia's group 'Documenting Delight'and I recognised you straight away. I'm Amber Hamilton (well new last name now;) ), our Mums used to work together.
Just thought I would stop by and say that your blog is divine. Truly, your words, your pictures, your babes, your home…all just beautiful.
I have been looking at your posts and have been inspired already. Just lovely stuff.
OK, starting to sound a wee bit stalker-ish so I will taddle off now.

Hi Jodi, Just wanted to say thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my blog. I am quite new to this and really appreciate you visiting. I have just been reading your beautiful blog, I am in awe of your pictures they are so good and you home and family are so lovely. Will visit again soon. Jo x
They are both divine. Two kiddies with the most beautiful faces ever, making them the perfect subjects for such a project. Can't wait too see next weeks xx
Loving the foot theme, too cute xx
You're so right Jodi, I've got to bring my camera around with me more often.
It really is about having it with you when an opportunity arises.
Love this idea – will copy it I think (imitation sincerest form of flattery and all that!) Look forward to watching how your two grow…
your right Jody. having a camera on hand (if you are able to) all the time is such a great way to improve photo taking. your portraits are lovely. i don't think you can go wrong with such adorable children 🙂
apologies. i was caught in the moment of typing and spelt your name with a y. sorry. going to take a break from typing. 🙂
The baby is very very cute!!! Love the foot-fascinated stage.
a beautiful start to a beautiful project….
I love the 1/52 idea,so much more manageble. You have some beautiful pics and I look forward to seeing more on your blog.
Jodi – your photos are really beautiful! I can only aspire to take shots of my kids like that one day. Good luck with your challenge and look forward to seeing more soon. x
I love that first photo!! ADORABLE!
