To date, this is one of the most stunning locations I have ever shot a wedding in. Syon Park is a bride’s dream. Amazing to think that it has been and still is the home of the Duke of Northumberland for over 400 years.

The T family requested a shoot to remember Canary Wharf by, where they have set up home, before they set off to the lush countryside. It was a windy day but the sun was out and we had some beautiful light, befitting a beautiful family.

As cliche as it sounds, one of the most life-changing things that can happen to a person, {imo}, is having a baby. The expecting stage is always a mixture of emotions: exciting, daunting, special.

Such a special little girl. So hoped for, so wanted, so loved. Now she is here. At 9 days young.

When I first met these adorable twinsies, they fit in one Moses basket. Now at a whopping whole ONE year old, it’s a job trying to catch them! Two energetic crawlers,cruisers, walkers. Happy birthday H & M!

For nearly a year now, Thursday has become a special day. It breaks the punishing school run rush, the constant looking at the clock, the mundane chores, the one too many un-home-made lunches and generally the busy-ness of life as a ‘mum of three’ ‘wife to one’ me.

I have not been in front of the camera for what feels like forever. The camera seems to prefer me to be behind it rather than in front of it. I cannot agree with the camera more – it must be said!

Welcome back me, to my blog! I am soooo behind with blogging. It’s been a busy summer and I have sessions both to blog and never to blog! Plus photos of my family’s little breaks here and there and days out – it’s the summer holidays after all. I needed a mini-project for myself to keep inspiration and freshness up for the next hectic months.

It’s nothing big. But it’s my first. And it’s a photo of my son.

It might have been the perfect venue for a summer photo-shoot, except that on the day itself, it didn’t just rain, it poured. But we didn’t let this dampen our excitement!
