This 1st photo is of my first Shutterbug and her lovely mummy Katherine.  This was taken just over 18 months ago and baby Erin is now a very gorgeous toddler.

Happy Mother's Day Katherine

Another of my first ever Shutterbugs was with a family who have become lovely friends. Simon is a member of the same BNI chapter as me so when he had his first baby with his gorgeous wife Carmelina it was a real privilege to photograph their little one.

Happy Mother's Day Carmelina.

My friend Claire is expecting her 2nd baby in a few weeks but this is a photo of her first little one who will be 2 later this year.

Fun on the farm in the snow.
