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)

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 maybe a stroll in the woods, but it was SO cold and SO wet and SO windy (this was the weekend that beat both French and Belgian wind records) that all we managed in terms of fresh air was a very brisk walk round the block. Still, being with two of my favorite photographers (Caroline and Amélie are THE Caroline and Amélie of Butterfly Moments), I couldn’t quite resist the urge to pull out my camera. Actually, Caroline let me play with her 5D (with a 35mm 1.4 L lens no less!) – drool… What a treat! And we had fun despite the weather. Three mad girls chasing poor little Amélie with their big cameras… And Hanno on umbrella management duty. Hee-hee.

And you know what? On Monday, the sun came out, the sky turned blue and Spring might actually be here at long last. These may be my last wet wintry pictures of the year. Oh yes please! Caroline and Amélie – I really really enjoyed seeing you! Please come again. Soon.
