She paints with either hand, mouth open and spare hand waving in the air. The new (to her) easel was an early birthday present.

The final portrait as a one year old. I love where this project has taken me and I look forward to capturing her life as a two year old. My manual photography (and blogging) has taken a backseat lately as I've been busy establishing a Project Life album (and just doing Life...and making a baby). Looking back on these portraits I am reminded how precious they are, how glad I am to have taken the time to capture these moments, and how much they speak of our Little One.

Favourites from the second half of the project:
There's something that feels so olde worlde here
Poise 
The change
Enthusiasm 
Sweetness in a knitted bonnet (K's favourite)

The Foreshore offered all kinds of adventures: the delight of running barefoot on springy grass, throwing stones in the water (again), stone sculptures to scramble up...

One of the most beautiful things about having a child is watching little friendships bloom. So grateful for these lovelies.

She ate all the smarties first. Baby-see-nos and treats after a morning running kites on the beach.

I crouch. She crouches. Copycat.

A wild and windy day but you insisted on going out for a walk through the Village and down by the golf course. As usual, you picked some wattool and spotted cock a TOOS.

Each time I whip out the camera she insists on peering through the viewfinder. It makes taking a portrait kind of hard. So I resorted to fool-proof distraction tactics this week. Yes, Playschool.
