Project Photo a Day | Day 5 : Silly Daddy

Mr W wins hands-down as The Fun Parent between us two. No contest! 

Project Photo a Day 2013 | Day 4: Yum-yum

We had a little birthday party for Ronen today with his little friends. It was crazy, busy, messy but most importantly, happy. And with lots of goodies which were yummy!

I still cannot believe he's three. That's 1, 2, 3. Wasn't he just a baby, like, yesterday?!

What we wore: Jewel Print

I wore this to Mr W's Christmas work party last month. I went to two other Christmas events but as they were at night, by the time I got ready, it was too dark to take photos. Glad this one just made it!

Project Photo a Day 2013 | Day 3 : Hurry Up, Mum!

Today was the first day of the year that I went out on a shoot and the kids were at my sister-in-law's. I am very thankful we have family nearby who are always happy to have them when needed and more importantly, the kids have a happy place to park for a bit while mum goes to work.

 

 

Project Photo A Day 2013 | Day 2 : Sit Still

When Wander Girl is in one of her creative moods, there is nothing that can get in the way of what she wants to do. So when she decides to draw on you, you have no choice but to sit still and not flinch!

(On another note, 10:46 in the morning and we were still in our pjs--hurray for lazy holidays!)

Project Photo A Day | Day 1 : Ride With Me

For the third year running, I have been doing a personal photo project every January--posting a photo of my family every day for a month. This came after realising that I don't take enough photos of my own children. It's always a challenge, as I tend to forget about my camera during my down time, especially when I am at home. But at the end of the month, when I have done it, there is a sense of achievement.

Day 1 : Ride with Me

This is Wander Boy's first bike ride on his first bike, which he got on his third birthday a couple of days ago.

What we wore: Plaid Shirt and Down Jacket for Work

Whenever I do family shoots, there are a few rules as to what I wear. Firstly, absolutely no skirts and no tops with low necklines. I crouch a lot when I photograph kids so tops need to be either longline to cover my bottom and/or tucked in, buttoned-up so everything is contained. You don't want to see what they call a builder's bottom when I bend down. Heehee! 

I wore this to my final shoot for the year. It was a cold, wintry day but as I move around a lot, a comfy and loosely fitted jacket was sufficient.
