Sarah Hernon Photography Challenge - Week 1

As mentioned in my previous post "Stick with it" I mentioned that I was going to partake in a photography challenge with Sarah Hernon Photography (previously Forever in time Photography)...
 
Well, I'm gonna have to do a bit of a catch up but here goes...
 
Look out for a few posts over the next couple of days.  I'm not going to pressure myself to take brand new photos but all photos will have been taken by me and have some special meaning to me...
 

Week One: Windows to the Soul

Ivy - approx 3-4 months old
 
There's a twinkle in these young eyes that shows an innocent but inquisitive soul with a yearning for light and laughter and a cheeky sense of fun.

LOVE...is friendship set on fire!

On the weekend just gone I had the absolute pleasure of attending the wedding of my brother and his now wife in sunny Brisbane...
 
It was honestly one of the most beautiful weddings I have attended and I firmly believe that this didn't have all that much to do with the location/outfits/flowers/meal/etc. (although all that stuff was really lovely and couldn't be faulted)...
 
But mainly just because of the glowing smiles that did not stop beaming from their faces...
 
The way they treated each other with respect and love and enjoy each other with a genuine friendship...
 

Little Ivy scored a gig as flower girl and she couldn't have done a better job if we'd trained her for weeks before hand...
 
Somehow she just knew when her moments were and just shone...one proud Mummy right here!!
 
 
Walked up the aisle carrying her flowers...check
 
Danced in the aisle when the music was playing...check
 
Clapped loudly and shouted yay when the song finished, when they kissed, when they walked out and at pretty much any other moment her excitement of the occcasion felt like overflowing...check!!
 
She was so adorable and had many kind comments directed her way...
 
I just LOVE weddings and catching up with my crazy family...
 
I grew up with three younger brothers and now that they are all bigger than me they think it's funny to pick on me...
 
Lucky I married my hubby who's bigger than all of them!!
 
but it's that cheeky fun temperament that I love about them....
 
 
Just a special day with special people!!
 
I spent most of the reception chasing Ivy around as all she wanted to do was explore but had time for a little dance before hubby to her off to bed just after 10pm... (one of the benefits of staying in a room at the same place the reception was being held and having a hubby who didn't want a late night as he wanted to go fishing the next day)...
 
 
Love these special times!!

Why are there so many different colours of paint?!?

Still trying to decide what colour to paint the majority of walls in our house... today I am thinking possibly Solver Smoke Pearl - got my inspiration from here


Our house looks to be of a similar era with the arches and as we have decided to leave them a nice grey would probably modernise the place...

Paint colours, baby names...so many big decisions to be made around here!!

10 weeks pregnant (catch up)...

My lovely friend has started her journey to becoming a photographer and I am so lucky that she is using me and my pregnancy as part of her learning process!!
 
These shots were taken a couple of weeks ago, when I was 10 weeks pregnants and I LOVE them!!
 
 
I am excited to be sharing this special time with her and to be documenting this pregnancy as it progresses...
 
 
She has some great creative ideas and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you...
 
 
You can read more about her photography journey here.
 
 
 


A good thought...

Stick with it...

So, I will be the first one to say that I am very bad at sticking with things...
 
I get very excited and enthusiastic to start projects and after a while my enthusiasm wanes and it falls by the wayside...  You have probably already realised this by reading this blog!!
 
Well, once again I am starting a new photo challenge started by my friend on her blog 'Forever in Time Photography' - you can read her blog HERE.
 
My goal is to start taking more photos to post on my blog as I have been a bit lax of late...
 
so lets do it!!
