Silas’s Birth Story

Just like that our little baby is one.  My blog has mostly been hibernating during Silas’s first year with the exception of a few drafts that I have written down.  But now is as good a time as any to get back into it and what better post to share than Silas’s birth story which …

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!

The Day We First Saw You

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 …
