Say cheese!

Since Isabelle (Adam's neice) was born I've really enjoyed taking photos of her & Brandon together. Every time we go round to Nick & Lisa's my camera's always in tow with an empty memory card & fully charged battery & I end up clicking away all afternoon. I tend to regret my enthusiam a little bit when I'm faced with so many lovely snaps to go through & edit down enough to fit on a disk, but the feeling of seeing how happy these stills of the 2 of them having fun makes their mum, dad, grandma & pa makes it so worth while.

As proud parents & grandparents do they've been showing my photos around to friends who've been asking about me & if I'd do other people's children too. So with a bit of help from Adam I've got some business cards printed from Moo & now I'm ready & raring to go!
~ The top shot I love, the way Isabelle's hand rests on Brandon's neck as they share such a sweet big bro & little sis moment melts my heart.

~ The middle shot was taken at Banganga Tank in Mumbai, these little kids came running up to me asking for a photo so this is what happened, they're so cute!

~ The bottom shot is a bit of a cliche I know but I'm still proud of it. The original shot had a lot more detail in it but unfortunately it didn't translate that well when printed so it looks a bit dark (this is the 2nd version Moo did of this cos the first was a lot darker but they offered to re-print it for free, yay for customer service!)

If you head on over to my Flikr page you'll see these 3 shots as well as many more ranging from India sights to winter wonderlands & from rockin' gigs to quiet times at the beach. So take a peak if you want & let me know what you think. :)

It's Brandon's 4th birthday party on Saturday so I'm going to leave some cards around for people to pick up if they want. I'm a bit nervous about using my hobby for a wider audience than just family but let's see what happens! I hope the saying never work with children or animals doesn't prove to be true!

Lovely photos! I too love putting pictures on my business cards but with MOO my pictures look a little grainy and not too much details can be seen.

I decided to try Print Peppermint. I'm now loving my business cards that I do not want to give them away.

Ladies what #ldnlunch

Image
After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we&#
