Madeleine is our star!!!

I had the priveledge of finally putting Madeleine in front of the lens! Madeleine has been such a wonderful help to our family - a great friend and carer to both Jack and Emma and a huge help to me - two young ones and another on the way makes for a tired mommy desperate for some respite! We all just adore her! She was also a real trooper with these photos and totally up for anything - wading in water, sitting on mossy trees, climbing trees and even walking the edge of a bridge! She truly is a wonderful girl. Thanks for everything Madeleine, I hope you enjoy! (The rest will be on my web shortly...)

Lovin' the Autumn colours - and this new lens!

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

...us Heatheringtons...

I just love how this shot turned out - Emma looks so happy and beautiful

Yup, they are certainly not a bad looking bunch!

My little "liver-lips" - too cute!

Autumn has hit Belfast!

Ok, so summer really is my favourite season - I love the sun, the warmth and spending long days outside. But next to summer, it is hard to beat the beauty of Autumn. The beautiful colours - leaves on the ground, warm and cozy clothes, and I finally get to break out and buy this year's black boot (always something to look forward to!!!) The H'ton family had a lovely day at the river today and the weather was just beautiful!
Self timed portrait One...(try to smile Emma, please....and Jack no objecting because we removed your dodi for this shot)

My little poser...

Jesse loves this place - sticks to swim for, jumping off a cliff - other dogs to sniff at - what more could a dog ask for?

Skip to the loo my darling (which I really wish we'd done before the "accident" - lucky for the long skirt and wellies!)

To think...about 5 years ago John proposed to me in this exact spot - and here we are today!)
