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's been one of those extra-long weekends, with a whirlwind of childrens' activities that involved a kidnapped Easter bunny, a night egg hunt and countless scores of Easter eggs, so waking up this morning and getting back to the PC needed a huge dose of caffeine in order to get a kick-start for the day.

Hope you had a good one, no matter how you celebrated this long weekend.

I failed to attend the chaos caused by the mischievous leprechauns at our home on Saturday morning, because I was on my way to the airport.  However, just before I was due for take-off, I 'phoned home and, without catching a single breath, the boys didn't spare any details as to the extent of the mess the little trolls had made. 

So, because I missed St Paddy's day with the boys, we decided to hire a waterslide and celebrate the milestone today; not least because it was a public holiday. . . and, no, we are not Irish.

The St Patrick's Day printables were downloaded from Love the Day Designs and the Leprachaun treasure hunt, which was a huge hit amoungst the short guests, from Green Lilly Designs.

"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. . .
