Being silly

...my cousin and me planned this little photoshoot because we wanted to surprise our darling friend Mina of House21 with some fun pictures on her birthday morning. I think it worked ;-)

It was Jamie who actually took the pictures and you can see more on his blog

Please note that we did deliberately try to look silly ;-) It was a lot of fun and we couldn't look at ourselves at first but now we got used to the sillyness and the red lips we quite like the pics and I am sure in years to come we'll love having them :)

Busy Bee ...

Oh how I wish I would be better at organising my time...

These last few weeks I have photographed schools and kindergartens and first communions - due to privacy protection I will not post any photos from these sessions. 

You just have to believe me when I say that I am very busy ;-)))

So this evening I am finally getting round to editing the last photos of this gorgeous little girl and her baby sister. Their mum must have incredible amounts of patience in her - she has not yet run down my door to finally get the photos but I really wouldn't blame her if she did!!! 

being an Angel for one day...

It was another first communion today. 

A big day for those darling girls (and some boys).  

Unfortunately none of my sun-dancing helped at all and the weather was very unwelcoming and nasty. 

But my little models faced the cold bravely and with a huge smile on their faces (whilst their parents watched wrapped up in winter coats and scarfes...) 

I discovered that my famous shoot boots now are NOT waterproof anylonger and need to be replaced IMMEDIATELY. But you know what I am so not upset about having to go shoe shopping ;-) 

I hope you all have a warmer Sunday than me. 

I might just light a fire and cuddle up with my favourite men now xxx

I love you everyday anyway...

...is what Ewan said to me today! 

And this is one of the darling presents my boys have made me: Snail-houses used as tiny vases :)

 I am not a Mother's Day kind of woman. 

But it was cute how my lads (all 3 of them) washed the dishes this morning... 

So the kitchen would be clear for me to bake pies for my own mum. It was hard work to sit and wait for them to finally finished - they took FOREVER!!! So I took over after that... 

Jamie sent them to get dressed and I was like "NOOOOO - I'll get their clothes ready for them. I want them to look nice today!!!" 

And I was thinking to myself that really I shouldn't complain too much about daily chores because when they do try and help out they just can't do it right enough for me. I am close to physical pain when I make them hoover and I have to stand back and watch and am absolutely not allowed to have a quick go myself after, in order NOT to insult them...

So guys, I love all of YOU everyday anyway too!!!!

I wanted photos of US taken today... but nothing ever happens the way you want it too... So we have one snap-shot taken by my mum. The only family photo that actually exists... Very sad me thinks... I need a photographer - ASAP!!!

Myself...

a woolly hat you wonder... well - that's what our weather is like nowadays!!! It reminds me a bit of Irish winters and that makes it a bit easier to cope with for me. But I am annoyed about all the shoots that have to be cancelled and I have no idea how I am supposed to squeeze all my clients in when the weather decides to get a bit warmer... Only time will tell and until then I hope you all have a happy weekend :)

Party of five

Mit ein bisschen Verspätung... Danke für Eure Geduld - ich hoffe die ersten Bilder gefallen Euch :)

Love Birds - todays engagement session sneak peek

Heute Nachmittag durfte ich endlich dieses wundervolle Paar kennenlernen. 

Sie heiraten im August und wir haben deswegen schon einige male telefoniert und ein paar Mails geschrieben. Nun freut es mich unheimlich, dass sie das Angebot einer Verlobungssession in Anspruch genommen haben. Auf diese Art hat man ungezwungen und stressfrei Zeit, sich gegenseitig kennenzulernen und auch herauszufinden, ob man sich miteinander wohl fühlt. 

So steht wunderschönen Hochzeitsportraits nichts mehr im Weg.

Ein RIESIGES Dankeschön an diese zwei verliebten!!! 

Es hat so viel Spass mit Euch gemacht und ich kanns noch immer kaum glauben, dass ihr barfuss durch Brennesseln für mich gegangen seid und auch im strömenden Regen noch so lustig wart! 

Ich hoffe ganz fest, die Bilder treffen Eure Erwartungen und dass wir uns spätestens im August wiedersehen.

Alles Liebe, Siegrid
