A portrait of my family, once a week, every week in 2014
And so the New Year has begun. Those of you that follow me on instagram know that our New Year has gotten off to a shaky start. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday after being admitted the day prior with dehydration following an episode of passing out while on the toilet at home. Once again, Willy was there to catch my fall – thank goodness he had gotten up with me – and an ambulance came to transfer me to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning while the boys were still sleeping. It was a scary ordeal for him and a draining go-ahead-and-kick-me-while-I’m-down episode for me. I’m feeling much better at the moment now that the stomach bug seems to have run it’s course.
For a moment, I thought I might miss the first post of my new 52 week project. Talk about catastrophes, a? Anyway, my plan for this project is to rotate subjects between all four of us. I’m starting with the boys because you don’t want to see Willy’s stressed out face or my pale post-barfing puffy face, I can assure you.
Are you participating in a 52 week portrait series? If so, leave me a link in the comment section; I love to check out other’s projects.

Yay, I’m excited for the new series (and so glad you’re feeling better. Phew)!
Loved 2013. Looking forward to 2014. It’s a lot of work. Thanks for making the effort each and every week!
Hope you and your family get a chance to heal and all feel better. Even though you think none of us want to see Willy stressed out or your pale face. I do hope you got an image or two just for you and memory keeping. I documented Tamika’s (eldest child) illness and recovery. Months in hospital and later in a wheelchair. Now four years on see likes to look at the images to see how far she has come.
Oh no! What a rough start to the new year you’ve had! I hope it only gets easier from here on out!
Thanks, me too.
Great shots, love the mood of them 🙂
Our 11 on 11 blog circle project starts this month. Would love if you’d check it out. Looking forward to following along with yours xo
I most certainly will! xo
That light!!!! Ah! Too stinkin’ good! Sending so many healing hugs your way, mama.
Hope your feeling a bit better lovely . Great photos as always xxx
I do love a dark and moody beginning to 2014. x
pretty cool to see you complete this year without missing a beat. you are forever my inspiration.
I double dog dare you to commit in 2014. Doooooo it.
Love your blog, love these first portraits, loved last years portraits, love, love, love! Sorry to hear you had such a crappy beginning to the year, but glad you’re feeling better now.
I’m joining in with the 52 project this year >> http://boyshapednoise.blogspot.co.nz/2014/01/152.html << Proof!
i truly hope you’re all okay now. i’ve been racking my brain about this 52 week project, and finally decided today to do it. thanks for the inspiration. 😉
Good for you. You’ll enjoy it!
Lovely images. I’ve decided to be totally crazy this year and do a 365 project instead of a 52 project. I’m hoping it doesn’t kick my ass!
Loved your series from last year! I especially loved that you chose to capture your husband instead of the boys. Looking forward to seeing your 2014! I’m inspired to give it a go myself. I think it will be great to look back at how the kids have grown and changed as the year goes on.

I’m participating this year 🙂 I’m looking forward to following everyone’s journey on the 52 project! I hope the year is a good one for you without illness or hospital visits.
I saw you and james from bleubird do the project last year and couldn’t wait for 2014 to start doing it with my son. Crossing my fingers I will remember each week! Love your photos, thank you for sharing with all of us.
here is my 1/52
