Bluebells!

Ok, prepare yourself for a very long post! I am always inspired by the nature, the seasons and beautiful things they bring. I then have lots of ideas I want to try, no, I just have to try! It's an urge to go and create something, visions of images I can't get out of my head. So I take my very patient models with me and go.
This time it were the bluebells. I missed all the blossom this year, but the bluebells are so pretty and I couldn't resist. Everything turned out a lot better than I could even plan. And that's the best thing about photographing children. My big little girl was so excited about going to see bluebells and as soon as we got there, she started making a bouquet. I was only happy as I always preffer to photograph children doing something they enjoy and not just to stand in front of the camera with a face smile.

 

 

Then, while holding the bouquet, she immediately said: "I'm a bride, me!". "Flowers, white dress, shoes". Didn't expect I would have this conversation at her 3 and a bit.

Then we had to think who would be her groom. Of course we found one among her friends.

You might ask where was the baby girl :) Most of the time in my other arm! But she got to enjoy some bluebells as well.

 

 

That's when my big little girl said: "Mama, I'm tired, let's go to the playground". And we did :)

Mini session with a blue eyed baby.

Can I make a confession? I love to photograph babies with blue eyes. Both of my girls have lovely brown eyes, but they are so difficult to photograph! So when I get to photograph a baby with blue eyes I find it very easy. Mini session I had with baby R was really a treat for me. It's hard not to notice her very blue eyes.

 

 

She also has the longest eyelashes ever:

When we were arranging a session her mum said she really want to have it done before she has teeth. I completely understand the reasoning behind it - they grow up so quickly, teethless smile is one thing you really start missing once they have teeth!

She likes to eat herself, just like a baby her age should do, you can tell she quite enjoys it:

 

 

And she is such an angel :)

Bliss

English is not my first language, but that's my definition of bliss:

I love them so much and so happy I can wake up to their beautiful smiles every day. There can be so much joy in ordinary days.

Birthday girl

I will do everything the wrong way and start catching up with blogging with a CAKE! Yes, I'm very shallow.
I really owe this post to a wonderful Michelle, who made a cake for Lucy's 3rd birthday. I shall not say anything about my last year's failed attempt in making a cake for Lucy's birthday. Let's just say that her last birthday cake had to be bought from a nearest supermarked a few minutes before the start of the party! So this year I thought that everyone should do what they do best and leave a cake baking to someone who does it well.
All my friends commented on how great the cake looked and tasted. I have not met Michelle yet, but when I read her blog I can see how much she puts in every one of her cakes. I can relate to this, because this is the way I feel about photography. It's so much more than just pressing a button. And a lot more work that you see in the finished product. I know it's a lot more for Michelle than just mixing the ingredients. She really is passionate about what she does. Her cakes look absolutely amazing. So if you want a cake with a soul, go to Michelle's blog and order a cake! http://yummymummyscakes.blogspot.com/
The cake really was a big hit.

I loved watching little ones expressions:
Admiration:

 

 

The anticipation:

And finally the enjoyment:

 

 

Baby toes!

Little Klara started rolling last week and also found her feet, so I think she deservers a blog post!

As I was taking those photos, the big sister was running around Klara singing -  she too wanted to have her photo taken. I, or course, was very happy to do it:

Hope you all have a great weekend!
