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...

"Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are,
the things you never want to lose."

~ The Wonder Years


Here we are, already in the first week of February.  Blimey, did January go by so unexpectedly super-fast for anyone else, or is it just me?


Anyhow, in early January, we hired a houseboat for the day, bobbing along at a snail's pace on the Vaal river and then over-nighting at a picturesque quayside, just in time for a wondrous sunset (and glass of Chardonnay)

As usual, I took thousands of photos in the hope of preserving these childhood memories forever. . .

Just having my morning coffee, making a mental list of things I need to do today, we have three really excited boys and all things Christmas to organise on this side of the screen.

Yup, it's that time of year again, time for me to spend some time with my family, my mantra for the next few days will be Rest & Relax.

Happy holidays to all of you and thank you for stopping by this wee blog, to those that leave comments, thank YOU {inset hug}. Logging off now, back on the 3rd January 2012.

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!
