And so it begins. This is my 10th year photographing my kids every day for the month of July. It’s a daunting task, but as I look back on the years before it all seems well worth the work. My children are now 14 and 8 and more interesting than ever before. When I first started my daughter was only 4 and an only child; how much has changed. As they begin to navigate the bigger world, I hope each summer roots them to their family and home. And I hope these pictures remind them of the love that surrounds them. Thank you for coming along for another July! {Photo-a-day is a personal project to photograph my children every day during the month of July.}
