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...

I really love how you capture your kids, it's very inspiring and makes me want to shoot my kids all the time (hmmm, that sounded wierd). I've few good ones I took recently, will send them to you a little later.

Keep up the good work.

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.
