The theme this week at i heart faces is we are family. It is a good reminder that in all of my obsessive photographing of Riley, I sometimes don’t put the same level of effort into capturing us as a family. A perfect indication of this is the fact that this photo was taken over 6 months ago.
I think you should put a little bit of yourself into every photo you take. And so even though this photo is of Josh and Riley, there are three of us in it. …

Riley and one of her grandmothers (she has three). This is her with Virginia. She has always been extremely taken with Virginia (I understand the feeling is mutual), even though they don’t get to see one another that often. She took all of about 2 seconds to warm up today. And then demanded, through a combination of pulling and words ‘UP!’, her complete and undivided attention.

Since I moved to the Central Coast from Sydney, I don’t see my brother nearly as much as I did before, so it was nice to catch up – even if there wasn’t enough time.
