365/7 - week twenty five - barcelona

So as some of you may know we decided to take one last holiday together (for a while anyway!) before our new addition arrives and decided on Barcelona. It was a fantastic break and just what we both needed.

Admittedly though the 'bump' was very much the focus of our attention, there was just no escaping it...as you can see in this weeks photo!

(For those how follow the veg/fruit-o-meter it's the size of a large aubergine head to rump!)

365/7 - week eighteen - London Loves

London loves The way people just fall apart London loves The way you just don't stand a chance London loves The mystery of a speeding car

Okay, a bit of a theme going on with my recent post titles linking to some of my favourite songs, but would you think I was weird if I told you I often think in music lyrics and associate images with lyrics or song titles?...thought so!

Anyway this one felt apt after spending a long weekend in London town. I ♥ London (I don't need a t-shirt to declare it). I love everything about it. I lived there for just over a year and had the best time and one of the best summers I've ever had. Most of my friends still live there and I will forever associate it with sunshine and good times and this weekend didn't fail to disappoint!

I was in London to be a bridesmaid and a photographer at my best friend Emma's wedding. Paul and I spent the weekend catching up with friends, wandering around Soho, eating (mostly asian) food and enjoying the sunshine...and there was a lot of sunshine!

This photo was taken whilst we were on a boat trip to Greenwich (a great way to see the city from a different perspective). The young girl was a tourist who I assume was still caught up with Royal Wedding fever... surely there is no other reason you would wear a union-jack shirt?!

365/7 project - week twelve

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'.
