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 22, 2008 // Newborn

Firstly WELCOME to the newer and bigger blog!

 

Exhausted.

 

A crazy weekend and an equally crazy week ahead, with the arrival of Santa bloke on Wednesday evening.

 

I have not managed to take on too many maternity, or newborn, shoots this year, as I haven't had the time.

 

Last week, however, I photographed Jenny and her little belles, Zoë and Eva.

 

So very small and squishy....they just melted my heart, having that "puppy smell" effect where you just want to hug them tight and sneak them home in your camera bag!

 

So, without further ado, I give you Baby Zoë and Baby Eva.

OMG, HUGE Images! What a brilliant idea! Have you transferred everything from your old blog onto this one? I still go back and look at the old stuff sometimes. Is that weird?
It looks stunning. You so made the right decision!

Gorgeous little babies, makes me want a pink set!!
On the blog, I'ts all here, just not all big. I wish I could press a button and rescale all my past images, I spent hours rescaling and reloading the images with the 'new logo'.

It has been a roller-coaster year so  I'll be taking a bit of breather. Hopefully I will be back again, raring to go in early January. In the meantime, I'll try and keep the blog updated.

 

Back on the 12th January 2009. E-mails and calls will be answered sporadically during this period.

 

Part two of our cancelled photo shoot.....next up Liam....

In the chaotic 'Crimble'  build up, I had also managed to squeeze in a booking for a children's lifestyle session. Things happen and the session was cancelled.

 

Great ! sigh of relief,  just what I need, an additional two hours of editing time . . . and then thought again...

 

Bugger that,  it's my turn! The location, the time slot and the  props were already sorted,  so it was just a case of, dress the short people and play away. Each personality will be posted on their own...first up Oliver

Sorry y'all but I am going to make this a short post (Oh, how you'll miss my great wit, right?!), but things are just chaos on my end,  a longer post will probably mean another two weeks of not posting.

 

I am not sure why, but there is something about a 'Friday' wedding that  seems  to make it a little more special to me. I feel like... it's kind of a secret wedding, the only one on a day where everyone else is at work, sitting at their desks.

 

Kim & Leigh exchanged their vows at Casalinga and had their reception at Hakunamatata...a really unique affair!!

Yay, two posts in one day! These are stunning as always - I love the sun in the last one especially. And yes, Fridays are a wonderful, magical day to get married on :-)

Hi there busy bee.
Great work as always and that is to be expected from a master photographer such as your self.
I must say you are converting me into a contrast freak with all your stunning work.
God Bless
