cakes, tea and burlesque

yesterday we went to a burlesque picnic at skipton castle :) My friend and very talented burlesque performer Heather Sweet was hosting it, and a lovely day was had by all.

Burlesque and Pin-Up style photography is something i enjoy very much and it was lovey to meet some girls i didnt know already and exchange details, hopefully something fruitful will come of it!

Nathan and Holly

my first official wedding of this year, Nathan and Holly made me so welcome from the very beginning. A strapping, handsome groom with a beautiful, glowing bride, its definitely one of my favourite weddings so far.

thank you both for allowing me to be there on your special day!

So the promised shoot for Heather Sweet went really well, but i made the biggest mistake ever that weekend and deleted half the set by accident and had no back up. that'll teach me :P

but i did get some lovely ones, and heres my personal favourite, more to be found on my flickr page :)

as far as pregnancy goes, things pretty much suck at the moment. the joint problems i had with mia have returned in full force, namely Symphysis Pubis Disorder (where the bones of the pelvis separate too much and cause immense pain 'down there' when walking and going upstairs, among other things) and Sacro-Illiac Joint Dysfunction (which affects the hip joint itself and makes pretty much everthing painful, as well as the embarrassing side-effect of getting stuck if i dare lie flat on my back :( ) so i'm feeling a bit sorry for myself at the moment. 3 months to go, this better be worth it!

(of course it is ;) )

photographs in spring

so mia joined the realm of the speccies and got some glasses, bless her! she does love them, and after having them for over a week is still happily wearing them. it does freak me out a bit seeing her in them, she looks so cute and 3 years older, i'll expect i'll get used to it :)



we finally have some wonderful sunny sun today, all i can say its about time :)

mia and mia took advantage by taking some lovely sunglasses shots, very quick indeed in the back yard!



still a bit lax on this blogging thing but i promise to try harder :)
