The beginning of a new year is always full of new resolutions for some…. and photography projects others!!
This year I have been asked to be a part of another monthly project called self portrait 12 times. The idea is to take a self portrait capturing our relationships with our children, significant other, family, pet, best friend, or ourselves.
As a mother, and also a photographer, I am rarely IN my photographs. While I definitely feel more comfortable behind the lens, in years to come I want my children to have lots of images of not only themselves, but of them with me and their dad, as well as just me.
When this project comes to an end, I will have at least 12 images of the relationships in my life. How wonderful is that?
So here I am…..I thought I would start with just me, but then the girls wanted in… and who am I to say no to that.




Now please head on over to Amelia Hambrook’s blog to see her self portrait for this month!
p.s. . . I’m also apart of another monthly project that I post on my personal blog called 10 on 10, that I have been doing since September and will be continuing this year.
