we have three big hallways in our house. they get a lot of play.
as a kid, i remember shutting all the doors to make the hallway pitch black, and playing "space" or "rocket ship" or whatever else me and my sis's little imaginations could dream up.
so happy to see my three littles now doing the same. i found them like this one day, to my surprise, cuddled up in the hallway. they pleaded for me to shut the door 'cause i was "letting the light in!" (that thing in satine's hand is a penguin flashlight.) i had to run get my camera before i ruined the moment for them.
i strive to get the kids (ahem, myself) out of the house most days to play and discover, but it's always so nice to have a relaxing day at home, and give them space to unfold into the day...
they usually create far better playtimes for themselves than i could ever dream up.
simple really.
for hallways camping all they needed were
sleeping bags (or blankets) and some pillows
flashlight
balloon
books
and a daydream....
i mean, just look at navia, above, contemplating the whole world....

Keats in color (version of this)

last year i was inpsired by deb to take more photographs of my own family. i was so busy with client work and juggling motherhood/pregnancy/newborns the past couple of years, that i haven't documented my own family as much as I'd like, or if i did, the photos are buried in my computer somewhere.
i've also enjoyed looking at others' 365 Project seen all over the web. I've seen the 52 Project around the web, and was inspired to do my own when i saw my friend elizabeth's 52 project. i've been wanting to do something similar for so long, but didn't think i could commit to that type of daily/weekly/monthly ritual. i mean, look. here i am 10 weeks late, er, in, and just now getting it together.
but perfectionism is for the birds. right?! right! a domestic-mentor-someone inspired me to adopt this motto: "You are not behind! I don't want you to try to catch up; I just want you to jump in where we are. O.K.?" which is totally appropriate for this situation... so here we are. jumping in at 10 weeks.
"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, {uh, most weeks} in 2013."
especially since i'm still on maternity leave from client shooting, i've really enjoyed getting out my "real" camera again, instead of just iphone snaps, and giving my family some of the photo-love attention that i give to my clients. we'll see how this goes. some weeks might be portraits, some weeks might be more of a photo essay like deb's... my goal is just to re-commit to taking photos of my family the way i used to...
anyone else doing a similar photo project? would love to see/hear about it.
