Dress of ties...

...this is my fabulous and beautiful daughter, Ellie, and the dress she has just made out of ties for her Arts Award project at school. She is so creative and clever....she came up with the idea and did this all by herself. And she has never made a dress before in her life...

Tooth!

...this is Daisy, she is my little seven year old. Today she lost her second tooth at school and put it in her special heart shaped box to keep forever because when she lost her first tooth she swallowed it and couldn't keep it : )
she was so excited that it finally came out...

Welcome Home...

....on Tuesday i went to the Custard Factory, Birmingham to the offices of Emma Case and Pete Smyth and Shutterbox Films for my first ever workshop experience. i will admit it i was scared half to death, i thought i was going to be so out of my depth or be so star struck i would melt. but there was no reason to be scared, we were all greeted with the hugest hug from Emma's other half, Pete, and made to feel so at home. Emma is such a warm and real person, brutally and heart-warmingly honest, she gave so much of herself to all of us that day and i feel so grateful. the group was full of the warmest, talented photographers and by the end of the day i felt as though my family had doubled in size.

i am still absorbing the enormity of the day and how much it has meant to me, i don't think i fully realise how much yet.

part of that day involved a couple shoot with the beautiful Adam and Lizzie, and the following are some of my shots from that shoot....

thankyou Emma x
