just over a year ago, i decided to attempt a picture-a-week of our kids.  this has been one of the more challenging things i’ve attempted.  being diligent to shoot each individual child each week is not an easy task.  posting every week was even harder.  over the summer, i definitely slacked in posting every tuesday, which i had originally planned, but in the end, i was able to post all 52 weeks.  the most difficult thing was choosing which pictures to put in.  over the last 12 months, i have taken over 10,000 pictures of our kids.  narrowing down 10,000 pictures to your favorite 260 is daunting.  but well worth it.  looking back at the posts, i see so many changes in each child that i never would have realized, i would highly recommend this to anyone that has children.  if you have 5 like we do, you may want to start with a picture a month.  i’m not going to attempt to pick out my favorite photograph of each individual child, but i know that the post that sticks out as one of my favorite is 41 of 52, shot at the art institute of chicago.  what was your favorite?  enjoy the last day of 2014.

“a portrait of our children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”
