I Love Mondays | Week 16

Last week's  inspiration was a challenge And I mean challenge!
There were a few who said they struggled....and I must admit I was definitely one of them.
Being time poor didn't help.  But really, that's just excuses excuses!

So this week I thought I'd take it back to basics again.
A colour.
A crisp, refreshing colour.
White :-)

Week 16 | White


Here's an example of a white image I took in Canada in December last year!

My favourites of YOUR favourites :-)

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.






Jacqui Shepperd
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. :)

Piano Love | On Film

At the end of last year I photographed my favourite personal shoot to date!

I did shoot mostly on digital...for all the effort involved in pulling it together, I didn't quite trust my film skills at that stage (or now for that matter!).

But....I did still shoot a few rolls of film that I LOVE....and I'm finally getting around to blogging them :-)
