I’ve been a little quiet on here lately but there’s LOTS going on over on the facebook page! So why not pop over and hit the ‘like’ button so you are getting all the new updates? I would louuuuuuuuve you for it;)
Did you see this one?? It’s the beautiful Fliss and Steve and there’s a little preview album on facebook here. x
Here’s Ollie and Rachel and they are lovey! Not only because they are bringing me to blooming Ireland in May for their wedding but also because they truly enjoyable to be around and fabulous to shoot:)
They came down to Cardiff for me to take their engagement shoot and we chose to do it my little part of town called Rhiwbina. We had coffee in the wonderful Snails Deli and then took a little wander around the village.
I was great to do something not baby-related and its made me even more excited for their wedding in May!
So, its almost time. And we are all very excited! This is the boy and the bump at almost 38 weeks. Never include my self in my photographs but have challenged my self to try harder this year. So here’s the first of hopefully many ‘me and my kids’ and its my very own maternity shoot; of me, by me:)
Its been snowing A LOT here in Cardiff – which is very unusual… so schools have been closed all around and we’ve had to come up with home activities. A big part of today the boy was a Pirate. And i took a lot of photos:)
We are all waiting… and waiting! only two weeks to go now till we’ll be a family of 4 but in the mean time the big boy has started nursery school – and wait for it; he actually loves it! No more teary mornings dropping him off to the private nursery.. now its just fun filled afternoons:) Oh! and then he’s had a haircut, so all in all, a good time to stop and take a few snaps of him before it all changes – again.
Happy New Year to you all!
I’ve REALLY let down this blog in the last year but i promise to TRY HARDER in 2013;)
On a professional level, 2012 was super as I got to photograph more weddings and families than ever. This is still achieved without any advertising and just from recommendations so a mahosive THANKS to everyone who thought me worthy of a recommendation but also a great big fat THANKS to everyone who invited me to photograph their special moments. Because I’m still fairly new to this, it’s always a big thing for me when others actually wants ME over others to photograph them – but I love it;)
On a personal level, 2012 has been B.U.S.Y! We’ve completely renovated our ‘new’ house and then I’ve been feeling pretty sick….
So, whats for 2013?
It was going to be my big year where I’d start really pushing the business and ‘take it to the next level’(!) but… in max 4 weeks from tomorrow there’s going to be an addition to our little family so this year will be full of nappies and baby pictures!!!!
BUT – cant quite help myself and have already booked weddings for the spring and I’m so happy that I’ve done it. Now that this adventure has started I cant just shelve it for a year so I’ll be continuing to take bookings for everything from weddings to lifestyle portraits:) So, keep the recommendations coming and spread the word!
I’ve also got a few personal project planned to keep the creative juices going and as always, try better myself and my photos.
I’ve added a (slightly large!) gallery of some of my favorite shots from 2012 – both camera and iphone photos!
Here’s to 2013:)
yes yes, i know, it’s been more than a while(!) but what better way to get back into the blogging by showing you my last wedding of the year. It’s Jess and Tim, everyone!
Jess and Time got married at St Mary’s Church in the old St Fagans and then had their reception at Pencoed House – a dream of a venue with ton of charm and photo opportunities as well as really friendly staff.
The day was a crisp and bright, late September day and there were a great excitement not alone for the wedding to be but also for the party that would follow:)
Here’s a little pre-view of the day:
its week 21 and its getting pretty hard to keep finding new ways of photographing the boy! (but guess that’s the whole point – so that i push my self to find new ways to photograph!)
In week 21 the boy decided to act his age – ie. join the ‘terrible twos’! There has been many arguments this week and lots of wanting to shout and scream at him…but then i called my mum instead;) “just keep strong, keep showing him you are the boss” and by the end of the week it was much better… i may have won the battle, but im sure the war is not over yet.
So this week I tried to have a few activities inbetween where we could calm down and do something he really enjoys – like water play in the sink:)
We also started potty training (on the happy days!) and so far its ok…. i’ve only taken his nappy of when at home and not pushing him too much as he’s still not totally aware when things are happening but im easing him into it.
Sunday afternoon, though, I just needed to get him out of the house(!) so we met with a couple of friends in the park for a walk and cake – good finish to the week:)
{Tobias 2 years 7 months 28 days}
So im almost up to date now on this little project:) I’ve also got a little new baby and a beautiful registry office wedding to share(!)
For this week it was all about getting back to a normal routine. The weather was lovely so one night we went for a little walk before bedtime – LOVE THE LIGHT:) There was also a naked day. On his behalf – not mine! It was great as it meant he did really well on the potty (too much info but im a proud mummy!)
The weekend was kicked in with his very first sleepover. Connie (his very best friend from the day they were born – only 5 days apart) It went really well even though Tobias was a bit ill and spend the most of the time sleeping, but when he was awake they did really well:) There’ll hopefully be lots more to come!
First week back in Cardiff after all the holidays. And it was tough on us all! Playing catch up and learning that when we are home we don’t go to theme parks on a regular basis…
But it’s nice to come back to all the toys and the fields behind the house! -even if it means a few a scraped knees:)
