5/52 {a weekly family portrait}

{a portrait of my family, once a week, every week, in 2013}

I guess you just never know what a week will hold.
On Monday my only brother passed away. We left at 1am the next morning to come home.
It was a hard and exhausting, but such a precious week spent with my parents and my two sisters' families.
Life always going to be fun and games and I think it's important to record our hard moments as a family, too.
Like this moment - right before my brother's funeral - brimming with grief, nausea and dread, and awkwardly unsure if it's really appropriate to smile-for-the-camera, or not.
This portrait will be a reminder that our family can do hard.
I am so honoured to do life with these people by my side.
