evie + samy + milly

It was so much fun photographing these three little siblings, Evie (5), Sam (3) and Milly (2).  they were so full of life and excitement.  I brought some balloons along with me, and what a great idea that was, they were over the moon (but also quite distressed when the balloons started popping...!!).  Here are some of the photos I took of them...

Zoe's dresses: Blanes of London evening dress

Zoe wearing Stella's dress, nearly 50 years later...





































Zoe is the best person to talk about these amazing vintage dresses she owns from her beloved mother. Here is what she says about this gorgeous dress:
"I felt so pretty and slim trying on this lovely Blanes of London evening dress.  My little girl loved it when she saw me in it because of the magical sparkle in the fabric, the soft angora like collar decorated with vibrant turquoise jewels and the princess quality of the swirly skirt. I have photos of my fun loving Mummy laughing and enjoying life in this very dress and when I held my daughter close to me whilst wearing it I knew Mummy was there too. I so wish she could meet her name sake little Stella. They would have loved each other. I do feel that through this collection of my Mothers dresses Stella will get to know her Grandmother very well!"

Stella is so lucky she will get to know her grandmother through her wardrobe.
Bless you Zoe.

against the odds - kat eye studio's photo-heart connection July 2012


sad moments and bad weather can end up in lovely pictures too.  
it was grey and wet outside.  
lulu had been crying and 
was holding this big white polar bear close to her, 
and she looked so sweet in that tender moment with mr bear.  
the photo's softness highlights this special moment, 
and the little tear 
delicately resting under her right eye
 tells the story of that moment

i'm linking with kat eye studio's photo-heart connection (July 2012)
because i believe, like Kat,
that a photograph is so much more
than composition, colours, light, etc
it's also so much about what it says 
to our human heart
i believe this is what makes people stop in front of a photo
and study it, analyse it, loose themselves in it
for me, the photograph i worked on this July past
is this photo
it speaks to me on a very deep level
