Many things come up as the years pass, and this year it was the reminder that this is for us, for my boys and not a project to impress anyone. A reminder for myself to be in the moment to witness it and enjoy it, be apart of it with them, to slow down and find the beauty in the mundane, not to plan or intend create a masterpiece, but view them and lead with the heart. We had our quietest Jan I can remember in terms of holidays and activities, we spent more time inside than normal and although there was many wonderful experiences not so many new and exciting ones. Looking for inspiration and moments to capture took patience and seeing, yet I still got to the 29th of Jan and realised I had some tradition/annual images I had to make sure would fit into the last few days.
And just like that another year of this personal project I love so much has passed. I do get so much joy from not only creating the images each year but sharing them with you all. A little peak into our lives and a beautiful keepsake for my children.
This year brings change for us as a family, yet we begin it with more clarity that we have many previous. We all look forward to welcoming a new baby, starting new activities and making new friends as well and growing old friendships and relsishing in time together.
May 2020 bring you heath and happiness, good conversations, warm drinks on cold days and cold drinks on warm ones, time to appreciate all you have and patience for all that is to come.
