Day x Need for Sleep

I have terribly neglected my daily photo project... 

But be assured - it's not due to laziness or lack of creative ideas. 

It's totally and utterly due to being overworked. 

If I had known this at the start of the 2010, I don't think I would have started the project at all. 

I had no idea how many jobs I would get during this year and I often stare at all the upcoming events and appointments and just can't believe it's all for me to do. 

So despite being a bit overworked on top of having the kids home for a full 9 weeks summer holidays I still love my job and am delighted to get to shoot so many great people :)))

I will go to sleep extra early as there is a big full day wedding ahead of me. Have a happy weekend everyone. 

Sonnenschein

Vor 15 Tagen kam dieser kleine Sonnenschein zur Welt 

und hat in der kurzen Zeit schon so einige Herzen erobert. 

Unter anderem das seiner süssen "grossen" Schwester und seiner stolzen Eltern (und Großeltern und Tanten und Onkel und mir und und und). 

Sie alle haben sich nach einer schlaflosen Nacht sehr geduldig und wacker durch das Shooting geschlagen. 

Ich hoffe Ihr könnt heute wieder besser schlummern :) 

 Für mich ist es immer ganz besonders besonders wenn eine Kindheitsfreundin Mama wird!!! 

Danke für die nette Zeit und Euer Vertrauen xxx 

15 days ago this little sunshine came into the world and stole the hearts of many. 

His cute "big" sisters, his parents 

(grandparents and aunties and uncles and mine and and and)

After a sleepless night they managed to go through the shoot very patiently and brave!

I do hope very much that you'll sleep better tonight!

It's always so very special, when a childhood friend becomes a mummy!!!

Thanks for the lovely time and putting your trust in me! xxx

Ferienzeit :)

Girls are...

...Sugar And Spice And All Things Nice

this little lady here is only 4 weeks "old" and 

has already wrapped her mummy and daddy around her teeny tiny finger. 

She's cute as a button and hasn't she got the cutest smoochy lips and did you notice the hair???  :)))

The beauty of giving

We have neighbours who are so poor that they couldn't afford to buy the

 kindergarten photos of their children which I took recently. 

The mum doesn't speak our language at all so we always just wave and smile when we bump into each other. 

It was heartbreaking to hear this. It must be hard enough living away from all family but then to have such big financial problems and 3 kids to feed on top of it... they also don't have a camera so they don't have ANY photos of their kids - can you imagine that??? 

Well, long story short, I didn't have to think twice and gave them to them for free of course. So this morning, whilst my boys where still asleep the doorbell rings and here stands my lovely neighbour laden with bags full of cakes she baked for us as a thank you... I was gobsmacked and wish so much I could have talked to her and told her that that was absolutely not necessary and all... 

Well, we'll enjoy the cakes and then I'll think of another little something I can do for them

For what it's worth: THANK YOU sweet neighbour lady!!! 

coolest engagement session EVER - updated

They wanted seriously cool, totally non-romantic engagement photos. 

Just the challenge I needed! 

So after much debating with myself 

(and poor poor Jamie who always is drawn into my "with-myself-debates" which sometimes go on for weeks) we decided on a local train station early in the morning before the sun would be to up high and too hot. 

This is a sneak peek of my trying to do cool - I hope you like:
