a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.

orion :: you were home all week from school due to the snow, a very unexpected second winterbreak & you've loved it! lots of sledding, chatting, laughing, friend time, & hot cocoa.

ethan :: oh my sweet independent one, you were strolling back from checking up on your friend who lives down the street. also, pretty sure you consumed near a 100 cups of hot cocoa, but you always made sure you friends got some too, sweet boy.

aiden :: sweet sweet winter baby this was your first snowfall & oh how you delighted in the wonder of the world cover in a white blanket of fresh snow. you LOVED the crunching sound under your wee boots, wore yourself out walking all around.

orion :: oh how you run when the camera is pointed at you. our little game of cat & mouse. you are going to make this project even more interesting.

ethan :: your own little style & personality are starting to show, flashes of the older future you wrestling to break free, only to be wrangled back in by the simplistic rhythm of train play.
aiden :: you delighted in the fresh air, stretching you new found legs & swooshing down the little slide. also, food play is a favorite... utensils optional.

orion :: tonight you played your second b-ball game ever. you were slightly excited. as it should be. as.it.should.be.

ethan :: laughing at your little brother peeing in the tub. the fact that you too were in that tub, no bother.

aiden :: floor naps for third babies during school hours & daddy feeding you morning oatmeal.

a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.

orion :: ringing in the new year at the stroke of midnight watching the ball drop.

ethan :: playing ball in the house... again.

aiden :: daddy & the hat, without it on there were tears, with it on laughter.

because time's something no one can stop, however, i will do my best to slow it down, to forever suspend moments, to bottle up their youth, to celebrate & mourn their ever present growth. this year i will be capturing a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014. sweetly inspired by this beauty :: practising simplicity. 

excuse the chaos...

i'm working the kinks out, thanks for your patience!
