Well hello there! Its been awhile!
I was delightedly invited to join a most awesome group of photographers for a 10-on-10 project for this year. I am notoriously awful at projects… when I think of doing a 365 photo project I feel a panic attack coming on. Last year I attempted the Sundays weekly project, and that was just too REGULAR for me. I found myself not always in the mood to take photos of my own life every Sunday! But this one, 10 frames to tell a story from my every day life once a month, sounds JUST RIGHT! And when I saw who the fellow photogs who are participating in this blog circle were, I could not say anything but YES! YES! YES!
Thank you to everyone who followed the link from the incredible Deanna’s page! So lovely to have you here!
The past couple of weeks have been funky. After a quick after Christmas jaunt up to Seattle to see friends, my whole family got sick with a cold/flu. Then just as we were all on the mend and the kids went back to school, Rob had surgery to have his tonsils removed this past Tuesday. No one has felt much like being photographed, but I managed to grab a few shots over the past couple of days that tell the story of how the beginning of 2014 has looked.
My wonderfully talented friend, Breanna Peterson, has her 10-on-10 up over on her blog. Do go have a look at the beautiful images she’s sharing this month!xo,
Jen

I have loved sitting and looking through your 10 on 10 this morning…your images of your family just draw me in, and make me look longer. I love the ones here with your husband in the hospital, such a real moment there..and your girl and her smiles, and laughs..and your son..that face. All of these…really special.
