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...

April 12, 2009 // Children Personal

Such an exceptional and thoughtful gesture, that it warrants a post on its own.

 

At a wedding ceremony on Friday, with it being over the Easter weekend, the bride gave each child a very special gift.   Smaller children received a beautiful Velveteen Rabbit, with a storybook and an Easter egg.  Older children got carefully selected toys that were matched to detail their different personalities. 

 

Tracy, the bride, very generously included a parcel for my boys, which included three very special bunnies, easter eggs and a storybook.

 

Thank you so, so, so very much!  We read the first chapter yesterday and the picture below is of Oliver with his bunny, listening attentively to me reading the story of the Velveteen Rabbit.

Oh, that is the sweetest thing!. I'd love to say I would have done that if I'd had any children at my wedding (I don't think I had a guest under the age of 20) but I would never have thought of something so lovely!

Funny story: I drove right past you outside M & S on Friday without knowing it was you! I would have stopped to say hello (and distract you from your bundu-bashing) if I'd known. :-)
