Happy New Year

December 31, 2008  |  Uncategorized  |  No Comments

Thank you to all the people I have photographed this year.  I worked out I have had over 300 children in front of my camera this year, and I’m still smiling!  We have lots of exciting things planned for 2009 – new locations and settings, an interesting twist on the standard family shoot and of course, many more photographs.

I have a few more sessions to catch up on (thank you patient clients!) and then am taking a short break with the 3 little people I love to cuddle (or, ar-du, as Imogen says).

My mum is counting down the hours to say goodbye to 2008.  This is the year she has courageously dealt with breast and kidney cancer.  I am so happy I can see in 2009 with her tonight.  Home-made pizzas, a glass of red and the tightest squeezes we can manage!

I will end the year with these two pics – the first of my darling mum and Tony taken the other day, and the second, a tender moment between Dave and our boy. 

May 2009 bring you love, excitement and the biggest squeezes you can manage :) x

These pictures of Dave and I were taken by our 5yr old, Will.  What a superstar he is!

P.S. I know it appears I have a doily wrapped around my neck.  I don’t… but I will not be wearing that top again :)

These shots were taken as part of a fun family session with a mum and her two girls.  One just 7, and the other this graduating sweetheart.  I certainly don’t recall my photos at 17 looking like this :)

I often leave a session thinking, “wow, what a calm mum… fun mum… happy mum… loving mum…”  Secretly storing away all their tips – hoping this may help mold me into the uber-mum we all long to be.  This shoot was certainly no exception.

I had the pleasure of meeting these two little gems last week, and they sure know how to pose.  All the pics from their session ooze fun and happiness.  Here’s a sneak peak.  FYI – dad built the very cool BBQ gazebo in the background!
