Theeeeeee funniest shoot ever!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous little girl called Marlie.  Her Uncle Lee wanted to give her and her parents something different for her first birthday in November so the idea of a photobook sounded good.  The only thing was getting Marlie to me without Marlie's Mum and Dad knowing, which wasn't so bad as Granny has her on certain days so it was arranged that Granny would come over and we would take some pics.  I don't think I laughed so much in all my life at the cute little faces she pulled as I snapped away.

Anyway I've been dying to upload and share some of these with everyone and now I can as Mum and Dad received the photobook today.  My daughter and I have bumped into Michelle (Marlie's Mum) a few times and it's been difficult to not be overly chatty to little Marlie at times.  I almost died when Amara and I met Mum and Marlie in Tesco and Amara is shouting "Hi Marlie cooochie cooochie coooooo" lol.

These last few weeks have been busy with shoot after shoot, I suppose it's because we are nearing Christmas....... OMG only 8 weeks to go or something like that eek!   Hope everyone has had a Happy Halloween xx

Little Man

Not only does Cody have Auntie Joanne to deliver him but he has his own personal photographer ;-), how could I not resist taking his photo? Mum, Dad and Cody arrived just after lunch time in which they were here till about supper time. Cody likes to stay wakened most of the day you see.......... and likes to sleep all night!! Lucky for mum and dad but not for me. We had to wait a good while until we got him into that sleepy, drunk like state that is soooooo cute. Anyone who says photographing babies is a breeze is lying, I have to admit that I do love photographing them though. The hat and wrap were knitted by my 80 year old Granny (Cody's Great Granny), she's on her third one while I'm still trying to knit my first ;-(
Oh we also made the papers today........pic to follow soon ;-)

Merry Xmas

Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and looking forward to the New Year! We had a lovely quite one with just the four of us at home which was quite nice considering we only got 4 hours sleep before the kids were up. You could have peeled Ritchie off the ceiling he was soooo excited. This picture was taken as a wee surprise for Granny's and Grandas, and I have to say it wasn't the easiest getting the kids to behave. Can you also imagine having three sisters agree on which picture they like the best? This was the best of the bunch though! It was a freezing cold day but it was cute to see them all playing and getting along so nice.

Well Happy New Year to you all when it comes x

Ice Cream Sunday!

I thought I would share with you my adventures of this morning.........9.30am to be precise. Armed with 6 children, a couple of chairs, a park full of cows, some jelly, an ice cream scoop and a couple of bowls, this I would say was like no other Sunday!

I had to do this for a college project, not sure if I have managed to capture exactly what I wanted however it's quite difficult to have a conversation with a cow and tell it what you want it to do! I mean they are not like dogs. I had to creat an advertisement, advertising Ice Cream without actually showing ice cream in the shot. Thankfully I have a couple of friends with a farm who own some dairy cows, and I have to say it was quite a giggle! After the shoot which didn't take too long the kids then proceeded to pick up the jelly and fling it everywhere. I at one point thought I was going to slip in cow poop as I was being chased by my son with a handful of jelly!!

I have posted some out-takes for a giggle, hope you laugh as much as we all did!
