Light, Texture & MJC

sorry this is a top for a 2yr old, but it looked so pretty on her and fitted as a dress so well :) plus i dont have anyone coming for photos till next tuesday, so i wanted to get creative.
i didn't get many good pics today, Taylor was SO grumpy and uncooperative, which is very unlike her. but she perked up in the late afternoon and we went for a nice walk.


she's getting so strong now too!

if you have the time, click on this one, its not a great photo, but she looks so damn pretty in it!!!

Some test shots.....

Things are looking good at the moment, been so busy, which is good, and i have so much house work to do. our washing built up so bad, Ive bagged it and shoved it in the shed, haha, its waiting to go to the laundrette, we have limited clothing and towls, i just cant seem to find the time to sort all this crap out.
i hate that the house is covered in baby things, yet we have no kids. No kidding, every corner you look at has toys, changing stuff, baby clothes, teddy's, baby chairs, push chairs....it goes on and on. Our spare room is now Taylor's room, for her crib etc.

but then i guess its a small price to pay, when i get to look at and photograph that gorgeous little face everyday. she just gets sweeter and sweeter. She can pull her self up on the furniture now.

just playing...we liturally went out for 10mins to the woods at the back of my house to try out this cute little outfit sent to us last week.

more test shots to come this week and next.

8 Months

OK, i found out something awesome with the baby this morning, have you ever met an 8month old who can wear french braids in their hair??? :)
Check out these locks...







i didn't get any better ones unfortunately. she didn't want to be cooperative :)



Oh, and i love this photo! she's such a darling.
Must get to bed, she arrived at 6 this morning and I'm wrecked!

babies and apples.

We gave Taylor and apple. we cut a hole in it so she could taste it, lol. she was so sweet and kept licking it.

My step sister dropped her baby off Thursday night, so i had her all night till Friday lunch time. and she was an angel!
so we did some photos in the morning. not for long though, it was quite chilly. you might be able to tell from her slightly purple cheeks :)







Holly and i have been doing some work for Irregular Choice shoes, but cant post the photos till December :( i hate when I'm enthusiastic about something, but cant share it. oh well, soon enough.
gotta go get the house ready for the baby tomorrow. ugh, never ending cleaning!

Be sure to drink plenty of fluids.

The baby came to me sick this week, but behaved SO well. I was able to get stuff done as she slept so much. But by Thursday night i was, sick sick sick :( and in the night high fever, i couldn't walk and my body just hurt so much, so i couldn't work, clean, or do anything!
Its weird, seems that when ever people get ill a little, i get like 10times more ill. I do not have the best immune system.
Matt's gone to pick up his brother and sister-in-law, and I'm left to....well....clean :) (or play on my computer hmmm...)


didn't really get to take many photos this week, Taylor wasn't up for it, then neither was I.

but i took these after a well needed bath and a long nightmarish pooping session (Taylor's, not mine) it was a disaster!!! when i layher on the mat, it went all up her back, through her clothes, on her arms, neck, hands, in her hair....everywhere. I couldn't even work out how to move her from downstairs up to the bath, ugh....
but doesn't she look angelic here, lol considering what we'd just been through.




well, better go do something. its almost midnight and im sure matt and co will show up soon.

Busy Busy.....

...but i like it.



Matts brother and sister in-law are coming this coming weekend...and i dont know if you read my first post, but if you did, you'll know what my house looked like (box mazes), and its not much better...so im SO busy trying to get it sorted!!! including painting the second bedroom because i am an idiot and get stupid ideas into my head!
ill try photograph it when im done...if ever.

I managed to fit in a shoot with the cutest little boy EVER!!! well, cutest around here :)

here are a few of my fav's......











and one last of the cutie pants baby!

Baby in the Graveyard

I've been inspired by Amanda's cemetery work since i found her on flickr.

i just love the textures on the old stone and the decay of the surroundings. and today, i found a tiny yet beautiful little cemetery with the most AMAZINGLY decorated iron doors. i will be returning when I'm fully prepared. i cant wait till i can drive and go seeking more interesting places to shoot my little muse :) she was so sweet today!

they look much better large, click to view full size.

i swear she'll be crawling in a matter of weeks. I'm training her at the moment.




this one looks SO much better bigger, all you do is click :)

And now for some silliness.
i have been teaching her some baby signs, and she has mastered Hello and goodbye. she got it the first day we went through it. and thank you is proving a little harder.



shes so gorgeous. and only 8months, i have to keep reminding myself that...she's so funny.
