The Share Six theme this month is {Portraits}.
I’ve talked a lot this year about how I am uninspired and how I have not been driven to pick up my camera since our international relocation. As I sit down to write this, it is exactly one year to the day since we left the US, and my goodness, my sentimentality is through the roof! Reflecting on the images I have taken in preparation for this blog in this past week alone, I see that I do have a reason and a purpose to pick up my camera.
My boys have changed so much in the last year and I wonder now if, when I look back through my 2019 images, I will have visibly missed a chunk of their growing up. I grateful for this theme and the push to capture them more. I vow to continue to do more again.
Inspired by my self-portraits from a few months ago (see those here), I bribed the boys with Halloween sweets. I would say it was worth it.
I snapped this last one as we were heading out the door on Bonfire Night. He does make me laugh!
Remember, remember the fifth of november, for gunpowder, treason and plot
Thank you for joining me for another month at Share Six. I hope you will take this theme, run with it and share your favourites with us. Post your {Portrait} images on our Facebook page SHARE SIX or to our Instagram gallery by using #sharesix_portraits. A new theme will be posted on 6th December.

Until next time,

Yes, you have so much reason to pick up your camera – these gorgeous amazing humans in your life and your over-the-top creativity and talent to be held close to your heart and shared with the world as you bring beauty and light to it. <3 As always, truly stunning.
I am floored by your skills and sensibility Ceri! These double exposures are spectacular! Don’t go away that long anymore 😉
It’s hard to believe it is already a year ago that you got that awful news. You are so talented, keep picking up your camera. Your boys are definitely growing. I love the expression in the 2nd and last image and those double exposures are fantastic. In South Africa we used to celebrate the 5th of November (Guy Fawkes Day) with fireworks. I kind of miss it over here. On the flip side I like displays to be restricted to certain areas and no loud booms so that the animals are not afraid. Love your share this month.
Oh you talented lady Ceri! You take such beautiful images no matter the subject and these are wonderful with your beautiful family, they are so cute!
