This project is incredibly personal and very close to my heart: photographing an entire day in my life. I began this journey back in 2018 and have never stopped since. In the beginning, I committed to capturing one full day every week for a whole year, faithfully documenting each moment. Over time, my approach has become more intuitive—I now photograph these days whenever the mood strikes me. Sometimes it’s weekly, sometimes more often, and other times weeks go by before I feel drawn to them again.
Once I collect 52 entries, I turn them into books—my most treasured keepsakes. If our house were ever to catch fire and everyone was safe, these are the things I would make sure to save. They truly are the greatest gift I’ve given to my family.
When the kids were younger, I shared all of my “Day In My Life” sessions openly, but as they’ve grown, I’ve chosen to keep these moments private—just for us. Below are a few of my favorite memories from the past.
Post 33 Project 4
We decided to climb up Jacob's ladder and do the clifftop walk. We hadn't planned for this and did not have our hiking shoes on which in hindsight we really should have! It was hard work! It was so incredibly hot and the sun felt so strong but the both of you were absolutely incredible and did so well. Once we climbed the 278 steps that's when our true endurance test began!
Week 14 Year 4
After you finished your doughnut you had some wotsits and that was when your third tooth came out!! It was so exciting! I love that it came out at our special tree. You have been waiting for this tooth to come out for months now and you have another one that is so close to coming out.
Week 8 Year 4
What a gorgeous day we had! It began with discovering that our Oak Eggar Moth had come out of his cocoon and then we headed over to Exbury Gardens so that Forrest could ride the steam train. After that we went home and played some games and ate dinner before heading out again to our little beach and to release our moth who was finally ready to use his wings.
