a portrait of my child once a week, every week, in 2013
A delicate boy. He was very busy building a structure out of lincoln logs and I surprised him, this is the only way to take his photo lately... and I only get one shot!
I guess it's obvious by now that I am taking 'portrait' very literally in this series. I felt as though I already capture the nuances of Little Smith's personality throughout this journal, and specifically with this boy, so I wanted to challenge myself to describe him using just his face. It's tough and I may eventually branch out, but luckily I'm pretty smitten with those two eyes, nose and mouth... and don't even get me going on the cheeks!
inspired by Jodi's beautiful series.
Lilly, this portrait is AMAZING. So very beautiful - this could easily be in print. That face, indeed!

DeleteWhat a fantastic photo! He is so photogenic. You captured him perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThis capture is stunning, the soft colours and his hair swept away from his face just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you Catherine, it is rare that I get his hair out of his eyes these days so that was my favorite part of the image :)
DeleteLove this!

ReplyDeleteThank you, I do think he's got some great eyes (but I'm a bit biased!). Welcome.
DeleteThe eyelashes! You forgot to mention the eyelashes!!
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to get a picture of my girl in her natural environment. THe moment she hears the shutter go, she's up and looking to see what I'm doing. One shot!!!
Beautiful eyes! :)
