To my beautiful, crazy middle child, People talk about “middle child syndrome”. They say the youngest and the oldest get all the attention, and the middle just plods along. At best, just quietly going about their business. At worst, ignored and not thought about. You, my darling middle child, are no different. I’m not proud … [Read more…]
My Christmas mini sessions were so much fun! It was a busy day, a busy few weeks, but Sasha (my eldest daughter, and assistant) and I had a lovely time. Getting to wear a Santa hat and play Christmas music at the beginning of November particularly pleased Sasha! Little James was a star. He is … [Read more…]
Its that time of year again, when the shops start filling with Christmas cards and tinsel, mince pies and yule logs. Yep, it must be early October!

I was really excited about this one! When Kimmy contacted me and told me she was training to be a babywearing consultant I knew that she would have a few wraps. But when I jokingly replied to her message saying she didn’t know which ones to bring with “All of them!”, I didn’t expect to … [Read more…]
So I’ve mentioned before why I got interested in photography. I’m the youngest of 5 children, and Mum and Dad didn’t bother with photos of me. One reel of black and white film sat in a drawer and never developed was what my baby years were reduced to. I have no doubt that my parents … [Read more…]
