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...

March 31, 2009 // Children / Personal

Those of you not in the know, it is officially school holidays {enter sarcastic-Yaaay!}

Just to enlighten those blissfully unaware, school holidays = a brood of testosterone multiplied by three - actually, Ashley makes four, with energy levels of the Duracell Bunny, times six!

Hap...Hap...Hap...Happy days!

Anyone with ANY ideas on how to best utilise those energy levels, please give me a shout, or shot, preferably, of anything alchoholic.

Day Two: They are still alive, house intact.

Todays activity: an ice-cream picnic, which seemed to work for today. Let's hope I can come up with another 87 ideas for the rest of the holidays.

I now know why i am so busy i hardly get time to visit your blog, it is depressing for me in a way.
You are the person that i look up to and the words" One day when i am big" come to mind.
I love the way you see this world of ours. Keep up the stunning work and congrads on all the magazines you are making it into. One of these days we will see you in O magazine. LOL
Regards

Jeez thanks for all the comments, it must be a record for a personal entry!!
We are very lucky where we stay, although the greedy developers have, unfortunately, discovered out little paradise!

Ever since Ashley received her bike, with training wheels, Oliver has been nagging that he too wanted a "big boy's" bicycle.

This weekend Dadda made Oliver's day with a shiny new red bicycle. The joy and excitement of his first bike!

A couple of days late on this one, but a BIG Birthday wish to Tanja. I did threaten, that I would post a pic from her Abba party, and here it is!

Tashie!!!
I am so glad that you still "frequent here" and that I got a comment!
SSSShtummmm about the London days I am trying to portray an image of professionalism and sobriety...and thank gawd for the passion for photography, as I have all the evidence (pictures).

Natascha:

I 'frequent' all the time...and am 'commentless' as your work is just too wonderful for words!! Real proud of you and just love to see the boys grow.
