I am completely thrilled and overwhelmed with the responses I had asking for YOUR favourite images that you have taken yourself. I received over 100 beautiful, touching photos - and as much as I'd love to feature them all I did have to choose.
Though it was hard!
Very hard!
I do hope you enjoy the beautiful photography I've shared here. They are in no particular order. And I love them for lots of reasons.
They move me.
Draw me in.
They are sweet.
Creative.
And some are perfect in their imperfections.
I love them all :-)
These are my Grandparents They have woken up next to each other every day for over 60yrs and still smile.

This is our daughter Rilee, aged 2
She had been dancing around the room wearing only fairy wings and skirt and I was taking pics, she just stopped suddenly and started at me, and this was the result.
I have loved this image ever since, it's not the best quality but it always tugs on my heart when I see it or think about it

My eldest two boys running on the beach at sunset - I just love this photo and the feeling of freedom it gives...
I love the light in this, but most of all, I love his expression. It perfectly sums him up - if you knew him you'd know just how this catches him. It is raw too - imperfectly perfect.

I just love this photo, something about where they are, just the two of them.
This is my son Axl. He usually is moving too fast or puts on a silly 'cheese' smile. This here is his TRUE smile. Which of course, is my FAV sight in the world. He just looks so happy and grown up. :)
