Back to school

It's that time of year again...

There's a certain sense of dread in the Charlton household today and that's just me dear reader. Looby goes back to school tomorrow, she's going to be in year 6, her final year of primary, Abigail goes back to school on Wednesday, she's moving into year 8 and then Iain starts his business course at college on Thursday, my usually noisy house is going to seem too empty.  If truth be told I love summer, it's my favourite time of year, I love the easy living, the no early mornings, the joy of being able to do what ever we want.  I've loved this summer so much, I've been travelling for most of it, I've been to 24 cities since April which I think is quite an achievement, it's about 5 less than I'd hoped but it's still no mean feat.

So September is about getting back to school, back to work, back to admin (groan) but it'll soon be half term and dare I say it... Christmas!

So today I am looking at the positives - We have 1 last day of the summer holidays, I have a photo shoot in Jesmond Dene but we'll all walk down together with Petunia and enjoy some family time.

It'll be autumn before we know it, I already see the change in the leaves and the blackberries are early this year (I made Jam yesterday) I think it's going to be an early autumn and whilst my diary is already quite full for late September/early October you can take advantage and book me for a photo shoot as early as Sunday 7th of September when I have a session available at Tynemouth at 11am, it's just £40 for the photo shoot which will give you a complimentary 12x8 print, web gallery for 30 days and 15% off for the first week your gallery is live.

If you have little ones who are starting school for the very first time why not book a quick half hour shoot after school this week to celebrate, I'll be available in the afternoons for Jesmond Dene for quick half hour sessions which are only £25 and include a 7x5 print, web gallery for 30 days and 15% for the first week your gallery is live.  These special late afternoon back to school sessions are only available to blog readers for the next 2 weeks so take advantage and book yours by emailing now

I hope all your back to school weeks go smoothly, I may just get back to blogging every day!
