Softesttoy ever from Carrie
Fellow mama to be, Jennifer, took these 2 shots in her home. Love the leaf shadows
The irony of this shot is that a neighbour of Jennifer's had just popped in for a few minutes whereupon my Leica was thrust upon her and with all of us in the know about what we wanted to create, to capture the hands and sun as it set on the Ocean visible from the hill on which Jennifer lives, the neighbour was charged with snapping away. Auntie Lisa (top left), Kristina, Jennifer and Cassandra's hands. Great shot!
Just the one (which went right to my head)
It was like a wedding day, so full of joy and excitement. Can't thank Jennifer and Kristina enough for arranging it all, the invites Jennifer designed, the wonderful cake, food and favours and so many lovely friends to share it with. I brought along the pink Kurt Geiger shoes Jason bought me 20 years ago to wear to the do, but hadn't factored in that my feet have grown just a tad in pregnancy. Wonderful! I feel so happy right now.
After 6 years in the USA, the warmth of days like this makes me finally feel at home.
and party!
