Sisters

Recognise the armchair? Scroll down! I photographed a friends' daughters and finally got to use the chair. The girls are lovely, and although I felt enormous pressure to take nice shots (my friend had a terrible experience with her girls' last photo shoot) I was really happy with the results and I think they are too. Taken at the same location as Sandy's family's, it is probably going to become one of the favourite spots!

Remember the Maternity Shoot?

Well, the baby is here! He's actually four weeks old in these shots, and what a cutie. He slept so soundly on the sheepskin, and was not impressed when his Mummy picked him up for the sitting shot, so he poo'ed and wee'ed all over her!

Sandy's Family Photo Shoot

Not only did I have lots of fun photographing Sandy's family, but I really enjoyed the location, and can't wait to take my own family there. Sandy and John have a lovely family, the boys are so sweet and fun, and Sandy's elegant mum was able to join them for the shoot before her return to SA.

Rosie the Kitten

So we have finally gotten a new kitten, Holly has been asking for one for so long, and she is tickled pink with Rosie! She now asks me to take new photos of her with Rosie nearly every day, and I actually thought these were quite sweet. I used Lady Ren's actions again, mostly Gentle Boost and Glow, with a couple of Vanilla Creams too!

The Last of Summer

Well, if there's one thing I've learned living in England, it's that when the sun is shining get outdoors with the kids! So we hit the park on Tuesday and I took these pictures of my sister's friends' kids.

More from the maternity shoot

I really like the two different shots with each sibling, the older girl being the dreamier, softer one, and the younger (soon to be middle!) son more playful. The funny thing was, although the mother and I had planned the tummy shot, we hadn't told her son yet what we wanted - he just spontaneously lifted his shirt to show his belly! I can't wait for the newborn session, not too long now!

My Fabulous Freecycle Armchair

Can you believe this gorgeous little chair is kiddy size? I have been busy re-upholstering it, so far so good, although the hand-stitched bits are getting tricky. Hopefully it will feature as a photo prop....not sure how just yet, but I cant wait to play around.
