A Time To Remember

I recommend everyone to have a maternity photoshoot done and generally to take many pictures during your pregnancy.  Your children will love to see how your body grew them on the inside! These 9 months will change your life for ever.  They might both feel like they are going by very fast and very slow.  …

The Day We First Saw You

Telling friends and family that there is a new baby on the way is so exciting.  But how should it be done?! There are so many ways to do it, and like many others I might have looked on Pinterest for inspiration.  I was not very successful in my search for the perfect way to …

Gonna be a family of four

Already before JJ was born we knew, that we wished to have two children close in age.  I grew up with my little sister who was only 18 months younger than me and just like all siblings we have had ups and downs, but the ups have without a doubt made a bigger impact on …

Faroese Summer 2017

It has been a while since I posted on the blog, the summer has mostly been spent away in the Faroe Islands, where we got up to everything and nothing.  It was just such a lovely time.  Somehow the summer came and went in an instant, now that the autumn is knocking on the door …

The picture they grew up with.  For me, …

Spring in the Faroe Islands

It has been a week and a bit since we arrived in the Faroe Islands.  As usual we flew direct from Edinburgh to the Faroes with Atlantic Airways.  What made this trip different was that we were travelling with my parents.  I have not been on a plane with my parents since 1993, so this …

Step out of your comfort zone with me!

As some of you know by reading my previous post about Our Stories of Motherhood, I am starting a new and exciting photography project.  When I wrote my previous post about the project it was very early days, it was literally on the day when the idea came to me.  But I just had to commit …
