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...

I tested some gorgeous actions for Dror - and by doing that I got a wee break from editing weddings and played a little bit with my own pictures.

Love this.

If you liked it and want some more - Secret tip off: If you go onto Dror's blog and have a look at the top right in the grey block - He has just launched some new vintage actions which are just as awesome! Better be quick as I am not sure how long they will be there.

I am going to do this post write-up in a different way than usual.

Angie's & Keith's wedding invite was worded so aptly in describing the venue for their day, I thought I would copy just that to introduce the special moments captured in time:

 

"In a secret garden not too far away.

Two special people, one special day.

When asked the question they'll say "I do"

They'd like this moment shared with you"

I am not really fond of many Photoshop black & white conversions, although, there are the very few exceptions - this being one of them, a b&w action called Vanilla and created by Dror.

Andrea I think I must start leaving your message block BLANK !
Maybe you will know what this means as I am a blank when I try and find words to compliment your work with. I agree in that you always capture the colours and light so well. Well done!

Angie:

Andrea, thank you so much. You told me the climb would be worth it - and you were absolutely right! Can't wait to see more!

A quote I found that is very apt for todays post;

Being confronted by a ferocious beast called rambo and being pee'd on by a little person called Julian, all part of a days work - who said photography was a walk in the park?

 

Isn't he just gorgeous? This little munchkin belongs to Elizabeth and Grant.

 

It was well worth it though - this is what I got before the floodgates opened up!
