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 Day of Spring?

Sunday, February 7, 2010

The face-paint obsession continues. This time we did flowers in honor of the sun that finally peeked out from behind the persistent blanket of grey sky that has been with us for the last few months. And I do mean “peeked”: it was there on Saturday but gone again today. It’s teasing us. Come on spring! Get your act together! What do you mean it’s still early February? Excuses, nothing but excuses.

See that picture there in the middle, with the focus on her eye-lashes? I’ve been trying to get a picture like that for over 4 years now. And how did I get it in the end? I waited for her to be playing Super Mario Bros on her Gameboy DS: it’s the only time she actually stops moving for long enough for me to get the focus right. Sad but true.
