A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2013

It’s hard to believe that there are only 2 short weeks left of this year. This year we spent getting to know this girl. Watching her grow. And change. And become the amazing little person she is today. She is officially a toddler now. Seeing her walk is so bittersweet for me. The last of her babyhood left behind, replaced by a little toddling toddler. She doesn’t look like a baby walking around, she looks like a little girl. Selfishly it’s hard for me to accept. But I am so proud of her. Seeing the joy on her face as she realizes she can walk everywhere she wants to go. It makes my heart sing for her.

I’ve been debating on how to approach this project next year. I know I will be participating again, but am trying to decide if I have it in me to do a 365 project. A photo a day. I would love to challenge myself to make an image I am proud of on a daily basis. I photograph her almost daily as is, but not always with awareness or intent. I would love to do the project, it’s just the commitment I’m having a bit of a struggle with. I suppose I have two weeks to decide.

Last week my favorite image was of another little girl, peering out the window.
