I know im behind on the blog and im sorry its been one busy month people. I’m trying to find and create a balance between being a full time mum and a full time working mum,  I’m working far to many long hours and not spending as much time with my family as i want. Thats all going to change as from now as i have a new pair of helping hands to free me up. laur will now be in the studio mondays and fridays, leaving me with tuesdays and thursdays and my weddings.!  How beautiful is my little boy, wow he is 17months! leave your comments. xx

His daddy making him laugh..

Pierce’s funny face.

his serious face…

Now i want the camera mummy!!!

I must have a million photos of Pierce literally.  We spend every day together and thats not enough… he is growing so fast right infront of my very eyes.  So im always documenting his every move, every smile, all the laughter, all the high-pitched squeals, his new dance moves,  his bright eyes, the smile he gives you when you applaud him and that funny smirk he gives you just like his daddy. I really cant get over how beautiful he is, everything he does totaly amazes me.  Being a mum has brought me more joy than possible,  and speaking of mums… Laura was the first of my friends who became a mum, and what a fantastic job she has done with Kai.  I have watched her for years now…doing a mums job, motherhood is a secret club  that you can’t explain… until you join.  All I can say  is I get it.  I know now.  I fell in love from the moment i met Kai,  And when Laura asked me to do his first photoshoot at just days old, thats was an interesting storey…needs to be told later!  Kai you are such a big boy now… you are growing so fast, im frightend that im going to close my eyes and wake upone day and Pierce is your age now!  It goes to fast, where is the pause button..?   Todays photoshoot will all be a beautiful memory one day.  Just as my pregnancy is now.  Just as the delivery is now.  Just as his first week is now.  Just as his  first month is now. just as his first year is now.  Life moves on, with or without you.  You don’t stay in a moment.  Good or bad. You move along.  Thats why when ever you can you should take lots of photographs, and include your close friends!  We  love you Laura and Kai. x

Love this one.

Being a mummy means loving someone so much, it actually hurts.  When you become someone’s mum, you instantly understand why she worried so much.  Why she cared so much.  Why she cried when you hurt yourself.  Why she missed you when you flew away on airplanes to chase dreams on cruise ships.  Why she was proud.  Why she laughed at your lame jokes,  why she bragged about your ’sports award’ in juniors,  and why she was so upset when you dyed your hair, got tattoos, crashed cars, drank too much, acted wildly.

Everything makes sense. You wish you maybe had realized what being a mum to someone really meant a whole lot sooner, and maybe could have been a bit easier on your own mum along the way.

I’m not sure if its the same for everyone. But for me, Pierce has rocked my world to the very core.  If i can do half of what my mum and dad did for me i know that Pierce will be fine.

Mum, I love you. I understand what you went through to create me. XX

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.”
-Pablo Picasso

6lb 14oz was his birth weight! Wow look at my little man now. This session wasn’t one of his best I must admit! I absolutely love shooting this session with my clients, pierce didn’t want the ice cream tho.! It happens. Bad days, bad months, bad years… Hopefully they pass, usually they do. Don’t worry Pierce Your going to be fine!!

Well, I’ve come out of hiding… or partially. I am still enjoying some “me” (and Pierce) time. Going for walks, days out with my fellas (Peter and Pierce) and just really getting myself all back together in preparation for another “busy” season. Which begins in Febuary this year.
