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 believe photography and chardonnay are my two best friends at this age!
 
As Jake and Liam approach three years of age (which for the amateurs out there is far worse than the 'terrible twos'), it has been a week of my pleading, threatening, bribing, cajoling, pushing boundaries (all of them) and eventually fuming and shouting at the two little midgets. . . testing terrorists-in-waiting.
 
Now, as the day winds down and the chardonnay kicks in, flicking through my images from this week, it doesn't look so bad after all....

I tested some gorgeous actions for Dror - and by doing that I got a wee break from editing weddings and played a little bit with my own pictures.

Love this.

If you liked it and want some more - Secret tip off: If you go onto Dror's blog and have a look at the top right in the grey block - He has just launched some new vintage actions which are just as awesome! Better be quick as I am not sure how long they will be there.

A quote I found that is very apt for todays post;
