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...

This is what my boys do with green food colouring . . .just add water.

Easily the most unoriginal time of year. Flooded with pricey red roses, cheesy, clichéd cards with big cursive letters and a husband who pukes at the very thought of commercialised romance.

 

But. Somehow . . .the midgets, each with their very own handmade card. Created just for me. Managed to make my heart sing!

 

Cute and kitsch in equal measures, I give you an image of Liam.

This week, at school, the theme has been colours. Each day we religiously transported coloured objects to and fro - matching the colour of the day.

 

It has, admitedly, been quite fun, especially for me. (I, selfishly, revolved this around my love of photography, and took it on as a personal photographic project. Challenging myself to photograph the daily colours).

 

Here is Jake collecting berries for our red day.

Monday already! 

Somehow this weekend went by in a flash....but don't they all?
Why can't the work week fly by and the weekend last forever - instead of the other way around? Sounds far more logical to me.

 

If you would like to get a little taste of what we were up to yesterday, then here you are;

I, on the other hand, need to get off the blog and onto my Monday dose of admin.

Our week was pretty uneventful, due to rain, rain and more rain, resulting in housebound midgets with far too much energy.

 

Inbetween the rain, we made some time to go for one of our walks, looking for frogs and insects.

 

I love our walks together; simple, no rushing, no time, just exploring. Me and my boys.
