Day Two
It’s hot, mighty hot and the only way to escape it is to get wet. I so love seeing them play together, most of the time they do. Not always but most of the time.

For a few years now I have done different photo a day projects, mainly with a theme for each day. This year I wanted to do something a little more meaningful, and capture my family every day for the month. I find the more I focus on my clients and their beautiful families the less I seem to capture my own children. With having lots of quality time during the holidays I’m planning on documenting our time together.
Day One
Our youngest is mastering her push bike by finally dropping the training wheels, whilst learning to stop and cruise on her own Keira found this tree to climb. She’s part princess part tom boy. I’m so very thankful for school holidays and time spent with my munchkins.

I love the beginning of a New Year for so many reasons, too many to list but hey here are a few: It’s summer time and that means lazy days with my family, time to explore, time to get off of the treadmill and recalibrate with what’s really important, but one of the main things I really adore is the unexplained energy that comes with this time of the year. Wiping the slate clean is such a wonderful feeling. I say bring it on 2014, I love you already! 2013 was pretty rocking for our family, however some of my dearest friends did not have such an amazing year (it was plain devastating), so for them I pray that this year is their year. May 2014 bring you all happiness, love, the magic that makes your tummy flip with the excitement of what’s possible. With love xxx Jodes
Welcome back to my poor old neglected blog. No excuses given, none needed! The good thing is I’m back. I’ve been shooting and editing like crazy, which means I haven’t done a scrap of Christmas shopping yet – ok I lie maybe 3 gifts – ‘three’ crikey (only because I can’t swear here). I need to pull my finger out.
Today I actually shot on the 10th, yippee and it was our day minus my 5 hours editing. OK so lets not go there as I have about another 3 sessions to edit and one more to shoot before my holidays start.
December for us is about tradition, family and spending time with the people you love. We kick of the 1st of the month with an advent calendar that the girls have had since my eldest was 18 mths old. The excitement of who’s opening the box and what inside it. Honestly it’s just so adorable to watch everyday.
The girls also found out their new classes and teachers for 2014 and a sigh of relief as they are very happy indeed! The afternoon called for a celebratory swim and treats, if only is wasn’t so blustery and overcast. I love, love, love that the homework has stopped and life is winding down, that school lunches will be a thing of the past for the next 6 weeks, and that PJ days are back, yes that’s right on the occasion we’ve been know to stay in our PJ’s all day. I love it!
I need to say that the last 3 photos my eldest directed me to shoot this way, ‘then please put them on the internet mummy’ she asked before trotting off to bed – Believe me she will check in the morning.
We have a special Christmas shoot planned so this is not good bye for 2013, just a thank you for dropping back, I appreciate you popping by, don’t go away just yet follow on to the uber talented Robyn over in Toronto, Canada to see how her Christmas is shaping up. To have one of those fresh Christmas tress would be devine!
Enjoy your day, Please feel free to say Hi in the comments. Love xxx Jodes
10 on 10 May is a little tardy to say the least, but hey who’s making up the rules anyway!
A this point in May we were full on into or renovation of Mona’s house, so I packed up for a week and went to Bali with the best gals on the planet. That’s what you do when you’re renovating isn’t it? Crazy, I know, but it had been planned for much longer than the reno. So off off and away I went. This was our day, and the beginning of the festival of forty! We left our beautiful villa in Seminyak and headed over to the beach resort Karma Kandara for the day. It was heaven on earth!
Back in our Villa’s – the people of Bali are just wonderful. This was my 3rd trip there and each time I fall a little more in love with the place.
Please drop by the talented Alison Bell to continue on our little circle of 10 on 10. A very big thank you for stopping by. Feel free to leave a comment and I’ll see you back here soon. xxx Jodes
PS I forgot to mention how wonderful my hubby is for juggling everything so I could escape to paradise with my wonderful girlfriends. Truth be told he needs it far more than me. Forever grateful!
Jen - Oh what a capture!
