The second part of our weekend was a trip to South Wales for Hannah’s birthday. I’ve known Hannah’s parents for years and it is always great to see them. We had a lovely time and I am sure Hannah really enjoyed her birthday disco!
Here are a couple of favourites of the birthday girl:
Had a long but fantastic, travel filled weekend. First stop was visiting some great friends of ours that we haven’t seen for, what certainly seems, ages. The weather was looking awful but we got a break in the rain and took a (very hilly!) stroll down to the beach. It makes me realise how little we get to see Andy and Susan when I see how much Dylan and Caitlin have grown each time, was great to get some shots of them playing on the beach!!
It has been a lovely break for Christmas and New Year, lots of time with the family which, for me, is the best bit. We’ve also had some very mixed weather, including plenty of snow and bitingly cold days. Through it all we have manged to get see some good friends and get plenty of outdoor time! We met up with friends for walks in the park, spent time outdoors on the bikes, and of course played out in the snow (well, Alex watched from the window…). On a technical front I have moved over to Full Frame with the aquisition of a shiney new D700 and upgraded some glass in preparation for what is looking like a very busy wedding season this year! Can’t wait to get started!
With that, some pictures from the last couple of weeks:
Been a while since we went away on a break so for half term we managed to get a good deal for a few days away at Disneyland. Without letting Isabelle know we arranged to be there at the same time as Nickys best friend Clair and her two lovely kids Georgia and Sam. Sam is only a few months younger than Isabelle and they are best friends (apparently they are getting married when they are older), so was fantastic when we got there and said ‘Isabelle…who’s that over there?’ and she saw the three of them.
We had a fantastic time and it really recharged the batteries.
I’ve known Doug and Anita for a few years now, they live just down the road and are good friends of ours. Grace is the same age as my daughter Isabelle and they went to the same pre-school and now go to the same school and are close friends. Anita really wanted some fun shots of the four of them, nothing too formal or stifled so we got them all in the studio and had some fun.
