Abbots Hill School Christmas Fair
We’ve moved on from just having a stall at Maddies school fair to setting up a pop up studio mostly so people can have photos taken with suitably silly Christmas props but also because it helps promote my St Albans photo studio better. After I had put the mini studio together Maddie helped me get the lighting…

Obligatory Snow Pictures
Yay the one big dump of snow which is becoming the norm, thought we weren’t going to get any. Went out and did the usual stuff, threw snow balls, built a snowman and then later went sledging over in Boxmoor. Normally I hate graffiti but it does make a good backdrop for pics! (Click on…

Poppy adventure
Having taken some nice pictures when the bluebells were out I decided to try and hunt out some poppies. This wasn’t the easiest task as mostly all I could find was the odd one or two. We heard on the grapevine of a field near Chesham that was “amazing” so one evening we set out…

Chip off the old block
The whole nature nurture thing is a really interesting debate. Obviously you can “lead a horse to water etc” and maybe they’ll take up an interest, sport or hobby.

Little Miss Spoilt
Maddie definitely made it on to Santa’s good list this year. One of her favourite TV shows at the moment is Hannah Montana which goes some way to explaining why Maddie is now decked out as a “rock chick” complete with a Hannah Montana plastic guitar and microphone. (To go with the Hannah Montana Albums,…

Studio Fun
There are some days when Maddie runs a mile when I get my camera out, you would have thought she’d be used to it by now. There are also other days like when I’m trying to take photos in the studio when she insists on getting in as many shots as possible! Particularly hard today…

Family Portrait
So we have lots of pictures of Maddie, but as I’m normally on the other side of the camera we have very few pictures of us all together as a family. It was great fun if a bit strange not to be pressing the shutter. There are a few more pics added to Maddie aged…

Little Runaway
So another bank holiday weekend has come and gone, for the most part Maddie has been very well behaved but you do need eyes in the back of your head as her latest trick is just to run off. She thinks its a game but its becoming really annoying and potentially dangerous.

Tummy Time
Ok so she’s not quite crawling yet but Maddie is now quite happy on her front and can hold her head up properly if only for a short time. She can also roll over onto her back from her tummy but not from her back to her front – which is just as well as…

Loving the weekends…
It means I get to see Maddie being cute and playful rather than just grouchy. In the mornings she’s adorable and I normally have to go to work however it’s easy to see how Mette doesn’t have time to do anything as spending time with her is amazing. Everyone said you’ll see new things almost…
