Someone Up There must really like me. When I did my mini-sessions last week-end, the sun came shining even though weather forecasts said it was going to rain. After two days of blue skies and warm sunshine, Monday was cold, rainy and just plain grim. And now, a day later, on a scheduled photo session with this beautiful family, the sun came shining for me again! Just an hour after I got home, the weather became cloudy and miserable again! Coincidence? I think not!

It was such a lovely morning and here’s a quick sneak peek of this family I spent it with:

{Phil and Emma, thanks for being such good sports this morning even though you guys must be so tired from your week-end away! I hope you like the sneak peek and I will be in touch again soon. Hugs to Mia!}

This family is very special to me as they are very good friends. I met the mum, Sarah, at our post-natal class when our girls were less than 12 weeks old. We continued seeing each other even when the classes finished and became fast friends, along with some other mums whom we met at the same class. Eventually, our husbands became friends and we just kept seeing each other more and more. We go to the same playgroups, we look after each other’s children and pretty much become part of each others’ lives. I don’t know what I would do without my sisterhood of mothers…..

It was such a joy and a privilege to photograph this growing family. (And I got to cuddle their newest addition loads too!)

Beautiful, aren’t they? And here are a couple of outtakes from the session. Izzy’s trousers kept falling off–it was hilarious. And my little girl had such a great time being attacked by ‘Izzy daddy’!

{Steve and Sarah, what can I say??? You were all a dream to photograph. I didn’t do much but aim and click! We feel truly blessed to know you and to be called your friends. Much love from us, R&B + A}

Spring has definitely come!

And I am very excited to show this season’s first photo session. The bluebell woods is definitely one of my favourite places to take photographs. This family was such a pleasure to meet and the little ones were so adorable!

{James and Natalie–it was so lovely to spend the afternoon with you and your children. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek and I will be in touch when the rest of your photos are ready!}

Spring has definitely come and it is the perfect time to launch Bitten Smitten Photography’s new website and blog. I hope that you are finding your way around easily around the website and enjoying the new photos on the galleries. I’m also excited about this new blog! I have so many photos to show from previous sessions and I am hoping the new blog design will work well.

A special shout-out to the superstars who helped make it all work: my sister, Rhea and friends, KP and Marchesa. They’ve been brilliant!

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and do drop by again soon!

{This post will remain on top of the blog until April 7th, 2009. Think of it as a welcome sign for everyone who is visiting the new home for the first time! Please scroll down for recent entries!}
