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:

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!

Activities for toddlers to do in Bristol: At Bristol

One of the things I want to start doing on my blog is sharing ideas on fun days out with your toddlers. We have a very busy schedule as I am a crazy mum who is obsessed with quality time for my kids but we are missing playgrounds and the outside time because it's either raining or cold. So a couple of weeks ago we went to a toddler takeover At Bristol. It's been only half a year since I got my full driving licence so it took a lot of determination to actually brave out a trip to the city centre. I was holding on to my steering weel very tightly! You have no idea how proud I was that we made it on one piece! It was so worth it though. We had so much fun, that the kids didn't want to leave. I mean it was quite empty when we were leaving!
It really helped that they have big glass wall, so there was plenty of natural light. Even though it was raining!

I was very surprised to see that one of Lucy's favourite things to do was to built and launch little rockets! She kept coming back to them and so did her little friend.

Another favourite place was dinosaur pit where they could uncover "bones" if they wanted to. However, they mostly chose to use it as they would use sand.

And upstairs - having a lot of fun with Animate It, though I think we as parents enjoyed it even more!

Should I mention my special skill - shooting with a baby in a sling? Errm shooting with a camera that is, or course! My lovely friend held her for a bit when we were wanting the girls play - I suddenly realise how big she has grown already.

And then it was time to go home, to drive home I mean! We really enjoyed it and will come back again for the next toddler takeover, you can check the dates on At Bristol website.
