Jumping for joy!

I am, literally! And the reason being, well...my new studio is complete, yay! I cannot thank enough my team of people who have put together my wonderful new space, I love it! It's comfortable, quiet and most of all, photo ready!

The studio is now officially open to invite my wonderful clients in!

To celebrate this new unveiling I am offering portrait sessions for only £75.00*, so get in touch and book your session in with me quick, I can't wait to see you!




*Portrait fee is £75.00 for a limited time only. Fee will need to be paid for at time of booking and photosessions booked in at the studio before 1st October 2010.

The shy and retiring type...

...maybe describes me a little more, but definitely doesn't describe my kid. He is notably confident, happy-go-lucky, outgoing and just generally a normal kid at his age.

He unfortunately doesn't like to have his photograph taken - so when I get that opportunity I make totally sure I get a few good shots in before he turns round and say's "no more pictures mummy" and runs as fast out of the room as his legs can carry him...

God I love this kid!

Going to the chapel and we're gonna get married...

...and they will be in a few weeks, they are impatient for their day to arrive, and it will - I mean I don't know where the time has gone so far, I mean 1st July today, madness?!

So yes, we went out in the balmy summer evening to do a pre-wedding photosession to make the impending date a little bit more easier to handle, and in no time at all we took the session in our stride and made the most of the gorgeous hazy weather.

In a word...

...or more like quite a lot of...words. I'm actually talking about 'the kid' - he talks non-stop, and I mean non-stop, I am not exaggerating in any shape or form, he can talk, really talk. About anything, anyone, any which way, about nothing in particular. But it's his enthusiasm for learning, wondering, asking, acknowledging...life.

That is what being a child is like, there is no limitations on what you can do. Why do we stop having those feeling when we grow older, do we worry more, not take chances, not ask of anything or anyone, anymore? Do we not care - or more like don't have the time...to think, to talk, to experience life? It's a philosophical question, but something that we should ask of ourselves more; make time, talk more, enjoy the wonder of what goes on, or make the change, whatever it is, I wish I could be that five year old and just question everything, and learn as I go on...maybe that change can still happen, take that risk I say, I should take my own advice...

Let me reminisce for just a little while longer..

...as it doesn't feel like I've ever been away - was it all a dream, did it really happen? I went on a lovely holiday to France with the kid and the hubby. We stayed in a Gite situated on a gorgeous farm, which was filled with an abundance of land, wheatfields, organic vegetables growing, chickens, a resident mother cat and her three gorgeous kittens and one resident dog! It was bliss and I felt very 'home from home' - the food and wine was just lovely, and the weather was gorgeous.

Maybe a little slumber might do it, and I can dream for a while in which I am transported back to the scenic views and relaxing time that I had...or more like 'dream on'!

The kid not looking too impressed with mummy + camera + pointed at Luc = not amused!

One of the three kittens that visited us each day to be inquisitive and also hanker after milk and our scraps.
