In 2011 I made a resolution that I would capture at least one image per month with our whole family. I didn’t care if they weren’t posed, or if they were crooked thanks to unbalanced cameras, if there were some funny faces or crazy hair- I just wanted to be in some images with my hubby and kids! I wanted something for them to have in their albums, so that one day they could look back and remember this time in their lives, and also remember what Mumma looked like back then. And I did it! One per month. It was hard, very, very hard. I still always tried for a decent shot, which meant a lot of running back and forth between the camera and the kids. And time always seemed to get away from me. I would just post one image and next thing I know my calendar is telling me the next one is due! But I did it and I am so proud and happy I stuck with it! If you want to take a look back, you can see them all here: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. I think it’s so cool to see the kids growing, especially Kingston from a baby to a toddler!
So this year I decided to do something similar, but this time I’ll be doing it with a group of talented photographers around the world who will definitely inspire me to keep going and stay creative. There will be 13 images-1 every 4 weeks. And instead of family images, I am going to capture Me and Mine. I am hoping to have some personal moments captured between me and my children and hubby but not necessarily everyone at the same time. There are moments every day that I treasure SO MUCH! I want to have them captured somewhere other than my heart’s mind.
Here is my first image – 1/13
