About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

December 4, 2009 // Children / Personal

We were at a birthday party last week Saturday, or was it Sunday?  I can't actually remember.  And it doesn't really matter.
The point of the post is we bumped into Zoƫ and Eva, who are both now one-year-olds - already!
 
I managed to get these in just before they left the party and it reminded me of the times we would often bring the boys to the park and rock them to sleep in the same sort of tyre swing and then, when asleep, carry them home to tuck into bed.

Great shots.
I have great respect for all the brides that have to fit all the hoops and so on just to be the best looking bride ever and then when they get caught off guard, there is Andrea with a evil smile on her face as she knows she has caught that killer shot that will win her some accolades in the near future.
Well done Andrea

What I find magical about "being small" is the make-believe imaginary world the little people inhabit.


To simply watch my boys transform themselves into whatever creature, or character, they want to be is enchanting made tangible.

 
Pictured below are the boys pretending to be dinosaurs, devouring leaves and growling ferociously - as, of course, all dinosaurs do. . .

Having the same party theme for both boys would have been too easy, wouldn't it?

Jake wanted a dinosaur party and Liam, no surprises, wanted a car (and train) party.

Half dino, half automobile - the little monsters had a ball.
