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.
Since I started getting paid to take photos, both friends and my website have always acted as my ‘agents’. My clients contact me, they book me, we meet, I take the photos. Always. Until now.
One word. Awesome.
{awesome couple + awesome place = awesome photos}
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!
I’m so excited to start my first project with Tower Hamlets NCT this Saturday 16th July. It’s a special mini-session themed “Summer Tea Party” styled with a touch of vintage. Bring on the buntings, home-made cakes, refreshing drinks and special goodies! It’ll be fun-tastic!
There’s something about living next to water, be it the sea, a canal, the docks… It’s so calming, so peaceful.
A stunning family in a stunning location. A perfect combination.
Meet my friend C who I’ve known for half of my life. We’re the same size and height and we’ve lived together before we got married and had kids.
It’s late. It’s nearly 9pm. My son is still awake. He sounded bored and tired, but awake.
First baby. Exciting. A little daunting too. But K and F are taking this first baby experience in their stride. They cannot wait for baby girl and are so excited they even have a name for her already.
I’ve already said it in a couple of previous blog posts and I say it again: I have a fear of unwanted noise. So I keep my ISO down and suffer in other areas such as focus or light.
Love Across the Pond | It was at a wedding in a beautiful country setting. Their mutual friends knew they were perfect for each other.
I feel very honoured to have been asked by a local branch {Tower Hamlets} of a national charity to do some collaborative work with them.
Just the day before, the world was mesmerised by the Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The day after was Matt and Megan’s day in London.
“I understand that an artist is someone who, in the midst of others’ silence, uses his own voice to say something and who makes sure that what he says is not useless, but something that is useful to mankind.” – Miro
G is such a handsome little boy. Here are some photos of his Christening.
I’m in the middle of heavy editing and feel like a break is in order, so I’m writing this. If you are not into photography, stop here as this will bore you.
