365/7 week sixteen - lois & rachel

This weekend I joined my sister and brother-in-law in the park with their family... my nieces Lois and Rachel, and nephew Alfie to take some family portraits.

We just wandered around the gorgeous Pollock Country Park with me shooting the girls and Alfie messing around. These photos of Lois and Rachel are some of my faves. The girls are really close and have a great laugh together and I think I've been lucky enough to capture that.

But I do get a little freaked out at how old both of them look in these shots...it starting to make me feel old!

a favourtie I had to share... josh & freya.

Have been taking lots of photos of my new niece and my nephew recently and had to share one of my favourites!

Josh kisses Freya loads... before he goes out, before he goes to play his x-box, after he comes in from football, just when he comes down the stairs...and I love the way Freya is blissfully unaware of her big brother smothering her in love and how delicate Josh is when he gives her a kiss.

Just one of my faves I had to share... x

365/7 week fourteen - fruit of the womb

Inspired by a fantastic blog that the lovely Lee (one of the first brides I ever photographed!) introduced me to and the weekly email updates I receive from the babycentre, I decided to introduce my 'bump to the blog' using what appears to be the most popular form of measuring your unborn baby....in fruit!

I've been having major dilemma's recently with my wardrobe as I start to grow out of my current clothes but I'm still not big enough to move into maternity clothes... I have a whole new appreciation for the elastic waistband!  Carolee Beckham used the fruit-o-meter to measure her bump as well as give you 'style tips' on how to dress your with your ever expanding waistline. I can tell this blog is going to come in handy in the coming months!

So according to the fruit-o-meter my tiny resident is the size of an orange. AN ORANGE!
