Monthly snapshot {January}

Gosh it feels strange posting a monthly collection of photos rather than a daily or weekly post. Strange, but good. As I picked up the camera this month I did so out of interest and love. Thinking about capturing "the shot" that encapsulates Finn or Harper was far from my mind. Freedom.

This month's shots as a result are a complete mish-mash of memories, faces and moments. This is a month of heat, dripping ice-blocks, anything and everything that involved water, play and an enormous amount of sibling and family time. A big month of togetherness before the school/work transition that February brings kicks in. We are ready.

  2. You're back! Yay! Who knew I could miss someone I never met so much?
    I love this collection of relaxed 'just because' pictures, although the way you capture your children has always seem effortless.
    So many great pictures. I love the first few and the one of harper flicking her loooong hair, but the one with the headphones? Fave!
    Now, are you really going to make us wait another month? I think it would be much better if you posted the pictures on the day you took them. Or maybe the next day, but certainly not longer than that. MmmmmK? Great!

    1. Thanks so much Tarnya! Your comment made me laugh and smile :) I like that hair flicking one too. It is very Harper (pre-haircut), flicking her mane around ;)
      I will see how things go in the next month, and maybe not leave it till the end of the month to post...we'll see :)
      Thanks for the encouragement. x

  5. I absolutely love them all. And her hair and the headphones and the excellent paper crown (and that little pout!!) are some of my favourites of yours ever. I am with Tarnya: a month is too long. Though I totally get how hard it is to do it more regularly. Just really happy to see that you picked your camera up plenty. You lot just shine. Lots of love.

  6. I know what you mean about freedom - it is wonderful to photograph purely when you are moved to do so! Such a gorgeous collection of shots, their wee personalities really shine through :-)

  7. Wow girl! Now THAT is a collection of photos.

    You captured some amazing moments, I love how 'real' they all are. You seriously took my breath away with this monthly round-up, I love them all!

  8. Woah! I am overwhelmed by all of the fantastic shots! Soooo hard to pick favorites this month. Ones that jump out at me include close-up of Harper's big, bright eyes, Finn and the squirt gun (that expression!!), Harper whipping her long hair, and the one of her with her short hair in the pink swim suit. All perfect!
