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...


It would be too easy to have the same themed party for the boys, wouldn't it?

This year we celebrated with a Superhero party for Liam and a Lion King party for Jake.

Right, now back to my editing.

I know they have to grow up, but, does it have to be at this helter-skelter rate?

Five years old today!!

They are now both happy little beans, because they've officially, according to their life manual,  attained BIG BOY status.

However, I do savour the fact that they haven't quite yet shed certain babyish-like aspects.

Happy Birthday boys!

I am just posting an image from our week that was, with a random quote to match.

All three boys slept over at "uncle's" house, last night.

This morning, as I sipped my coffee and switched on my PC, I realised that the house was silent, so eerily hushed that I can actually hear my keyboard "tik tik", as I type this post....it is a strange feeling.

A silence that I thought I could savour, as I have a hundred and three things I thought I would do, once I finally had this moment of quiet, but, now that I have it, I long for the noise and chaos.

Strange.

Just yesterday morning, I was a tad irritated that I could not even go to the loo without a "Mama {insert demand}" and now that I have several uninterrupted hours, I am stumped with what to do.

I am ready to embrace the noise.
