Merry Christmas 2017

Just a quick post to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2018! This year is going to be super special for us being Ava's very first Christmas, our first as a family of four. I hope you have a wonderful time and make lots of lovely new festive memories! 

I'll also take this opportunity to share some of the images from the Christmas themed photo shoot Ava won a couple of months ago (you may recognise a couple from the banner on my blog!) They are way too cute to not publish and I absolutely treasure each shot. I just wish I'd dressed Noah out of his nursery clothes as a precaution as I didn't know he'd be invited to take a few photo's too!

Photoshoot - Noah 2 Months old

I have always been obsessed with taking photographs. Even as a child I used to buy disposable cameras and take photo's of anything and everything from tree's to my barbie dolls. I studied Photography at college gaining a National Diploma in Photographic Media and I have had a few jobs where Photography played a big role. A long the way I sort of forgot all about my DSLR. I kind of lost the passion for it. It was packed away at the back of my wardrobe and I began relying on my phone for quick snaps. Nick would always ask me why I don't just sell the camera and I always said I was keeping it for when we had children. Now that Noah is here I plan on doing DIY photoshoots here and there. I am kicking myself that I didn't do any newborn shots but I was living in a daze and now can fully concentrate on my old camera. It's like learning to ride a bike all over again. 

Noah is so used to having his photo taken now. He is only 2 months old and I have over 3,000 photographs of him. I don't want to miss a thing and pictures help me remember so much. Noah loves posing for the camera. Here are some pictures I took tonight-
