Happy New Year

as the end of 2009 prepares to turn into a fabulous 2010 I want to wish everyone of my friends, family and clients a very happy new year, 2009 was a successful year for me and I'm so thankful for that. What I really want to do is share some favourite photographs from the past year, there's still a few sessions to be blogged too so look out for those in the early part of 2010.

for now though let me share just a few moments that I can lay my grubby mitts on -

I have to start with a couple of Christmas pics because as it' says on the wall, "I am because we are"

These people complete my in each and every way!



and this man without whom I am nothing is the reason my life and my business thrive, I cannot wait for our own Vow renewal in April.

and for those fave photographs I've taken professionally this year, well I'll just have to keep you all in suspenders.....

Happy New Year all :o)

Christmas with the Charltons 2009

I've just realised how long I've been blogging and how many Christmases I've blogged, I won't say how awful my photography was back in 2006 but if you want to view some of our past christmases then have a look at 2006, 2007, and 2008.

I'm actually so pleased that each year I remember to blog about Christmas because in future years it will be lovely for the kids to read all about it.

So, Christmas 2009 was I think a quieter Christmas, hubby had drank far too much on Christmas eve so he was hungover all Christmas day, I developed a full blown head cold on Christmas eve so I was quieter too!

The kids all got iPods so everyone was happy! Here's a few photographic highlights -

Disco Bob now has an addiction to cat nip!

Urgh, yes me, with a peacock on my head, Abigail took this one!

My gorgeous shoes bought by shoe expert hubby

Now that is a Balloon animal!

I hope that all you and yours had the most wonderful Christmases ever, not every Christmas is going to be the best Christmas ever but for me this was more than good enough.

Happy Christmas

Today marks the start of our Christmas holidays, of course I'll still be around but I may take just a little while longer than usual to respond if you email me.

I just want to wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a thoroughly healthy and happy New year.

I am sort of on holiday until the 4th of January but still available for shoots or if you are dying to book me for your 2010 wedding, I wonder how many people will receive the gift of an engagement ring from Santa this year.

I want to say a big thank you to all my friends and clients who have made my business and my life so fantastically fabulous.

Lets all hope that 2010 is even better.

Meet Toam - 11 days old

my lovely friends Heather and Joel have had a baby!!

would you like to meet her?






She's so gorgeous, totally edible!



and at only 11 days old she already had a very inquisitive nature about her.



don't they make a wonderful little family?



she's a cutie

Joel won't mind me telling you all that he's not fond of having his photograph taken (even though i've taken several hundred shots of him over the last couple of years!!) well Toam has been a great blessing and doesn't he look completely relaxed?!

Heather and Joel, congratulations and thank you for being great friends, I can't wait to watch Toam grow up.
