Thank you letters.

I recently went to the SWPP conference in Hammersmith and met up with a lot of fellow photographers who I now class as good friends.  It was also exciting to be introduced to a number of other new people and we chatted and laughed, had a few drinks and swapped notes etc. as you do at these things.  A few days later an unexpected “thank you” note dropped through the letter box from one photographer in particular – Chris MacKenzie.  I can’t tell you how lovely it was to receive! Chris had taken the time to hand write a personal note which obviously takes so much more thought and effort.  The picture on the front of the card made me laugh – even though we had only met for a short time it obviously didn’t take him that long to realise that, given half the chance, I would eat cake in exactly the same way :-)

Surprise Family Photo Session

This was one of my favourite shoots of the summer.  These siblings got together for an hour so that we could create a surprise slideshow for their dad’s 50th.  Apparently there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when they let him see it. Such a great family to work with – can’t wait to do it again some day soon.

School’s Out!

For the first time in eighteen years we have snow deep enough to close the local schools and therefore what else is there to do but get out and have some fun.  The kids are in heaven – they’ve built a snow man (modelled on me apparently – they’re so kind!) and have not stopped pelting each other with snowballs.  As far as they’re concerned it could snow forever and they would never stop smiling. Personally, one freezing lump of snow down the back of my neck was enough to make me run indoors and hide but it does make you feel fuzzy inside seeing them have so much fun.

Gorgeous kids.

I’m so far behind with blogging that I’ve only just noticed that two gorgeous little ones were missed.  The little boy would not be parted from his watering can.  It’s amazing what’s important in life when you’re little :-)
