Photo day (and some windows)




Today is photo day at Emil's school and it's time for new pictures to be taken - alone and with his classmates.

While looking at the old photos from school and kindergarten, I keep getting amazed about how fast our children grow up, and about the changes they go through in body and mind.

We always pick the photos in black & white. Those colors are so well for portraits - nothing distrubs the expression.

I don't think that children have to smile when they get photographed. To me it's important that it captures the essence of the person.

Hopefully that will succeed with Emil today...eventhough it's difficult to concentrate when one's classmates are right behind the curtain giggleling. Don't you remember that? Oh, I sure do...

  1. Min Victor har også fået taget billede idag og som dig har jeg også valgt sort og hvid.
    Ja det går så stærkt med vores unger. Lige nu stener min den mindste til Cirkeline efter en lang dag i skovbørnehaven og den store hygger sig med Wii mens mor her tager en tur rundt i cyperspace.
    hav en god aften

  2. Hvor sjovt at din søn også skulle fotograferes i dag, Jeannet. Men skolestart er ofte tidspunktet for fotografering i skoler og institutioner. :)) Lad os håbe at begge vores drenge giver dejlige billeder.

    Det lyder til at i hyggede jer alle tre. Det er altid rart at koble af efter en lang dag.

    Rigtig god dag i morgen. :))

  3. Tusind tak, Miri. :)) Det gør mit ømme moder hjerte meget glad.

    Alle tre billeder fanger hver især hvordan Emil var i den pågældende alder. På det første mild og genert, på det miderste med et glimt i øjet, humoristisk og alligevel stadig blid, og på det sidste en smule mut men altid glad.

    Jeg glæder mig til at se de nye fotos. Ind imellem forbavses jeg når jeg ser billeder af vores børn, for den fysiske udvikling de gennemgår viser sig tydligere på fotografier. Kender du ikke det?

    Hav en dejlig september dag. :))

  4. What handsome kids! This struck a chord with me today...they do grow up so quickly. I'm taking a quick computer break from packing with my daughter. She's off to her first year of college...so bittersweet...so fast...it seems like it was just yesterday...

  5. Thanks a lot, Alison - that makes my soft mother heart happy. :)) The three photos are all of my son Emil - just in different ages. :))

    I definitely feel with you; it's not funny at all when one's children leave home. My daughter left home some months ago - we still miss her so much. And it's hard not to have my finger on the pulse in my daughter's life, in the same way I used to - eventhough we talk and meet often. But that's a part of getting grownup children.

    I hope that your daughter is going to a college near by your home, so you will be able to see each other frequently.

    Have a lovely weekend. :))
