The Bump!

I have been meaning to edit these images for a while now, but I just haven't had time!

This is the bump...My sister's bump...

She's due early November so baby photos will follow soon after no doubt!

Alex and Paul (her hubby), are keeping us all in suspense as they have decided that they don't want to know the sex of the baby so we all have to wait until November now!! I keep buying her baby clothes... one in pink and one in blue! Haha!

Also, the word 'bump' is driving me insane...

Every time I hear it, I get the lyrics to that old cartoon 'Bump The Elephant' stuck in my head!

"Bump the elephant isn't quite as elegant,

because his feet, are not so neat...."

...and I can't remember the rest, I just end up humming.

AAAAAARGH!

Update & Gwynneth's 80th Birthday Celebrations

Ok, so I haven't been updating my blog much since I finished Uni - thats not because I haven't been up to anything, but because I've been too busy!

I spent a lot of time over the summer camping - mainly at Robinhood's bay (just south of Whitby). We have found a lovely camp site with stunning scenes (see earlier posts) and we just kept going back. Needless to say, while camping, I haven't been able to use my computer and update my blog due to the lack of plug sockets and internet connection!

My photographic work was put on the back burner while I was finishing uni - I didn't want to risk taking wedding bookings and end up with too much on my plate, hence the lack of new wedding images. I am taking bookings again now so the images will start to flow again soon.

It was my grandma's 80th birthday in July so we had a very large family lunch and I met loads of relatives that I never knew I had!

Anyway, there will be more to come soon. As you can see from the photos above, the pregnant young woman on the left above is my sister, Alex. She is expecting early November so there will be bump and baby photos soon!

Employed!

Now that uni is over, I have managed to get myself a full time job. I am now a Helpdesk operator, and conveniently, the office is about 3 minutes up the road from my house!

I am not just doing Helpdesk support... I will have design work to do aswell...

Less time for playing with my camera now... Boooooo! :(

Whitby

As the weather has been so nice recently, we thought that we ought to make the most of it and as I have finally finished uni, we thought we would go away and celebrate.

We spent the weekend camping at Robinhood's bay, with stunning views from our tent! (Excuse the quality of the image below - I took it on my iphone and not my camera...)

I had a lovely time, took a few photographs, relaxed on the beach, went walking, got a lovely tan and we also managed to find rather a lot of the local geocaches!

No more Uni...

I would just like to say...

I HAVE A DEGREE!!!!!

(An Honors degree too...)

Yey!!

Kirsty & the Bluebells

This has to be my favourite shoot so far this year and Kirsty was very confident and full of ideas.

We had discussed the bluebell theme prior to the shoot and bounced ideas off each other so we knew what we were trying to achieve.

I had borrowed a mirror from a friend to use for a shoot at some point and thought I would bring it as a prop - Kirsty loved the idea and the images worked really well!

The bluebells had come out much better than I had expected and when we both arrived at the location, we were shocked as to how intense the flowers were! The weather kindly played ball for the day and we had a very productive shoot.

Kirsty and I are planning another shoot in the near future...

Ramona

Another image from my shoot with Ramona - this one is probably my favourite.

Jessica Bailey (MUA) kindly came to do the make up and hair for the shoot. The weather was very unsettled though so we decided to shoot where there would be some shelter rather than have to rearrange the shoot.

Unfortunately, it did rain and the dampness in the air made the curls fall out of Ramona's hair quite quickly. We got some nice shots though and everyone was happy with the results.
