3 weeks ago there was a new arrival in our house, Lily, the boxer puppy. She’s a real cutie (to cute at times, particularly when she has been a little mischievous) Everyone has been asking me to share some pictures of her.
So here she is in all her puppy cuteness:
First night in her new home, note the short legs as they have grown a lot in the last 3 weeks!
Nothing like a good shake!
Nothing like a good bit of running to stretch those legs and reach those treats quicker!
A little exploration of the garden
I’m trying to teach her to be a good ‘model’ as some dogs hate the camera as it hides your face and that worries them. Right now it makes her curious so I will be making the most of it and I am sure I will be sharing more photos with you as she grows up.

Last week I decided to treat myself to a new camera bag, but not any old camera bag as I keep telling Simon, who groans and rolls his eyes everytime I look at one.
This one is super special, it’s a shoot sac! Unlike all the other big bulky camera bags out there, this one is beautiful and slim line! Not only that, it holds and protects everything I need it too right there are my finger tips and still has room for my phone, wallet and keys! Such amazing qualities from something so small and beautiful. It fits me too which is a real bonus and it’s so slim there is no danger of me knocking anyone out with it as I spin round, camera to my eye, unlike my backpack!
And there’s more!! You have a choice of covers so that you can personalise it and look uber cool! I chose a gorgeous black and white cover.
So I’m sorry old green camera bag, you are now retired.
Here is my new pride and joy.
Having used it at the weekend extensively, I have to say it’s the best camera bag I have ever had! Simon – I won’t be looking at another one again! (But I might have to have a choice of covers for it! ;o))

I know that I have been a little absent from blogging in the last couple of weeks so I thought I would update you on why I have been so ‘quiet’ and why there will be lots coming in the next few weeks.
There has been a secret project going on in this house, my new logo and branding. It’s nearing completion, so you won’t have to wait much longer to have a peek.
This means my website will be getting a bit of a new look too. In the next few days the pages will be changing and I have lots more to add on there as well as some new gallery pictures. It’s changing everyday in little ways, as I pull it all together. Then in a few weeks it should have a complete make over with the new logo. So keep your eyes peeled!
In the same vein my blog will be getting a new make over and new address, all will be revealed on here, and all your favourites from this site will move to the new blog.
Why you might ask? Well this one is really restricting the size of the photos that I can post on it and I need something that I can customise in my new style. I also want to develop the information of fantastic suppliers that I know and trust to provide you with exceptional service and quality.
In addition to all of these changes, I will be ordering new stationary, and new products to offer my clients so there will be lots to show here.
As if all this wasn’t enough I have also been meeting with a local poet, who writes bespoke poetry for any ocassion and we are developing an exciting new wedding poetry service, so that you can say all that you want to, in a really special and personal way. While we get the website up and running, if you are interested in the poetry, please drop me a line.
So as you can it’s been really busy here and in the next few weeks I have 6 weddings and 2 portraits sessions so I won’t be quiet on here for much longer!
In the meantime because you all know by now I don’t post without a picture I would like to re introduce you to Edward. You might remember him from one of the early posts on the blog, he wears the coolest rattle shoes. Well check him out now! HOW much has he grown and just how cheeky is that face!!

Because I just can’t bring myself to blog without a picture, here is just a little sneaky peek preview of a STUNNING Cambridge Wedding Venue where I will be shooting a wedding in a few weeks.

I was completely bowled over yesterday to come home and find a huge box by the back door.
What was it? I hadn’t ordered anything. I wasn’t expecting anything. Had they got the right house? Label check, having dropped all my bags all over the path in a hurry, showed that yes it was indeed for me and therefore at the right house.
I do love a good surprise, and I am always curious and excited when I get one, so as you can imagine I didn’t hang about in opening the door so I could get in and open the box. So excited in fact I left my bags in a heap on the path, opened the door, picked up the box and carried it carefully inside. At this point I should say that the box was 2/3rds the size of me!
What on earth could it be?
Carefully prising open the top of the box I was met by the most wonderful smell and sight of a stunning bright yellow flower arrangement. Mouth now open and tears welling up I carefully lifted them out of the box and hunted for the card to see who was sending me flowers…..
What I found was a lovely message of thanks from Sally and Jon that tipped those tears over the edge and left me speechless.
Sally and Jon, thank you so so much, the flowers are gorgeous and completely unexpected.
Here’s a peek at the glorious yellow flowers in the stunning April sunshine.
