And it's off! Zoom zoom zoom!

Oh no! The postman lost your letter. Please try again.

I was born in England, near Hastings, but grew up in the South of France. I met, fell in love with and married my now husband after returning to the UK. We now live in Belgium where our daughter, Amélie, was born in 2005.

I am a lawyer by profession but like pretending to be a photographer in my spare time. I first became properly interested in photography shortly after Amélie's birth but that interest has since developed into a bit of an all-consuming passion. I love trying to capture the happiness she brings me and her uninhibited wonder at the world that surrounds us. I don't want to forget a single moment of this incredible journey.

I shoot with a digital Canon SLR camera and edit my pictures in PhotoShop. If you have any questions about my pictures, please don't hesitate to leave me a comment and I'll do my best to help. That being said, I know I still have lots and lots to learn so constructive feedback is really appreciated.

Anyway, that's enough about me. How are you?

(the pictures of me in the blond wig were taken by Tara Leigh, an inspiration and someone I am lucky to be able to call a friend - give her site a visit, you won't be disappointed! - and my logo was designed by the fabulous Matthew Nelson)

First Shoot(s) of Spring

Sunday, March 7, 2010

This morning I woke up with the distinct impression there was sun behind the curtains. And sure enough, there it was. Unfortunately, this led me to the fool-hardy decision to go outside with bare feet and nothing but my pajamas on. Here is what I learnt: sun (even when plentiful) does not equal warmth. In...

Ode to an Egg

Friday, March 5, 2010

If you’ve never had a Cadbury Creme Egg, your life is not complete.

THIS is what macro lenses were made for. Clearly. I am now going to stare at myself in the mirror with disgust.

Singing in the rain

Thursday, March 4, 2010

Why is it that when people come and visit us, it rains? Every. Single. Time. Well, ok, maybe not every single time, but that’s the way it was beginning to feel when Caroline and Amélie (“la Grande Amélie”) came to stay with us last weekend. I had planned a lovely walk through old Brussels or...
