the siblings project {august}


Oh August... you are a month, quite simply, MADE for The Siblings Project. So much play time, together time, bonding time. There has of course been some arguing time and bickering time and wanting-a-bit-of-time-out-from-each-other time too. But mostly, its been the former. And its been a total pleasure having all three of this trio around all day everyday.


I actually took these photos completely spontaneously one morning when the kids were in a particularly cheeky, funny, smiley, humouring-their-old-mum kind of mood. I grabbed them on my phone, because that was to hand, and the big camera was downstairs. And I just love love LOVE them! I don't think I've ever managed photos that capture their personalities quite as well as these do... my little crew of complete nutcases!


I did try and recreate the moment with the big camera a week or so later, (because I like to have 'brand new' photos to share for Siblings, that I haven't already shared on social media - and I'd shared the hell out of the original ones, because... well... LOVE!) And I probably would have loved the follow up photos, were they not the weaker copycats to that spontaneous photo shoot that came before. There's a lesson to be learned there I think, about keeping the nice camera to hand. Or about my letting go of picture quality in favour of the quality of the moment. So, I'm sharing them all, but you decide for yourself... I think there is something so much funnier about the grainier phone ones. Although that tiny little scene stealer is doing it again... one-year-old and already totally knows how to make a photo all about her!



Super apologies for being so late in the game with The Siblings Project this month. I know this post always, always, always goes live first thing in the morning, but I'm blaming the summer holiday vibes for the fact that I completely forgot. I promise to be back in the organised zone again by next month.

And the eagle eyed amongst my readers noticed that there was a problem with the old badges for The Siblings Project badges, but they are now fixed. So if you are still using an old code for the badge on your site, make sure you use the new one from now on.

  5. I love them all but I must admit I have a soft spot for the phone ones. Sometimes big camera ones just can't match them can they? x

  7. Those photos are gorgeous - I love how much fun your little trio are having together in them. The phone ones are my favourites too. It's always difficult to recreate a moment like that a second time - at least you managed to truly capture it the first time even if it wasn't with the big camera.

  9. Oh I think they're all gorgeous! There is definitely something to be said for letting go of the image quality sometimes, in favour of capturing a moment. x

  17. Ah I love these pics, and I think that sometimes you just have to grab the phone camera and go with the moment- sometimes things just can't be staged! These are beautiful anyway, and so colourful x

  18. A gorgeous set of photos! The phone is so handy for capturing those moments as they happen spontaneously, by the time i've got my camera out and focused the moment has passed. Sometimes for that reason the phone photos are better! I completely agree about august... I don't want this month to end, it has been so lovely having all three at home x

  20. Given I've only just posted my pictures (a week and three days late!!) I think the summer holidays has got to us all! These are gorgeous photos, and the joy of phone cameras is that they do take pretty awesome pictures, and you get the moment.
