365/7 week fourteen - fruit of the womb

in , , , ,

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!

365/7 project - week twelve

in , , ,

Last Saturday I spent the day with Owen & Lorna in Millport for their engagement shoot. Considering it was March we couldn't have asked for a more amazing day, the sun was shining and it felt like the middle of summer!

I remember spending some time in Millport with a friend from school and her parents one summer and it felt as though nothing had changed. The cafe's are still there selling amazing ice-cream, the bike-hire shops are still bustling (for those that don't know it's standard to hire a bike and cycle round the island!) and it feels, as far as West of Scotland Beach resorts go... it's still one of the best!

This photo opportunity was too good to miss, and it reminds me of one of my favourite photographers Martin Parr series 'The Last Resort'.
