More Barrett photos

What? 2 blog posts in one day? I know, but I need to make up for the terrible blog drought caused by my laptop being in for repair. She is back by the way (my laptop) with that niggling little problem fixed so all is well.

I have many many things to blog, but lets start with these photos I took a couple of weeks ago of Steven's sister's family when we almost did a proper photo session. As you can see, Liana and Nigel have managed to produce not one, but THREE very cute children. In certain lights the beautiful Alice looks spookily like Steven. I will have to dig out a photo and do a comparison here on the blog. My mother is hoping that I can produce equally cute children. Thanks mum, no pressure then. Here are the photos:













Like a little doll!! I'll probably put this on my website actually, being a sucker for anything a little kitsch!







The game we played to get Bradley and Alice's expressions in the following photo didn't quite work so well for tiny Matthew. Awww!



Alice's little hands holding her brother:



I have lots of other news, but will blog that in a couple of days time, so stay tuned....x

Phillipa and family

These are Phillipa's gorgeous grandchildren, Bethan, 3, Corum, 2.5, and Phoebe, 9 months. Corum and Phoebe are siblings, united with their big eyes and the longest eyelashes I have EVER seen! Bethan is a real girl, and loves her teddys, twirling in her dress, Angelina Ballerina and arranging things in order. Corum her cousin is a real boy and is very laid back, loves cars, tanks and chaos (i.e. destroying the line of teddies that Bethan is carefully laying out). Phoebe is like her brother - very chilled out and just hangs out blinking at the world with her big eyes. On to the photos:

Corum:

And Phoebe:





Bethan looks like an accomplished flamenco dancer here:




And Corum looks like he's trying to reverse out of a difficult road traffic incident here:





Boo!



What is it Phoebe? Is it your older cousin coming to attack you with a spider....??





Ha ha, I put a photo of Phillipa on my blog!













Thanks guys, it was great fun xx

Annabel and Isabella

These two are cousins, Annabel is 18 months and Isabella is 2 months old. Isabella has the cutest little active fists - she has older brothers so good job really- and loved being photographed (well, I presume anyway). Annabel was a little shy at first, but soon got into the photos with peekaboo games, which is a good job because look how lush they both are!






You can't get much cuter than a baby in a basket:








Right, I'm ready for my brothers now, where are they?




So cute!






All babies love the feathers! (before they try and eat them that is..)




Phew, all this modelling is hard work.




Annabel with her family blanket:





A bit of a cute overload on the blog recently, which is good - imagine how boring it would be if I was a heavy machinery photographer...

The Lyles

It was such a gorgeous afternoon for photographs of the Lyles, we headed out to climb some trees and throw petals around. Here is everyone in the branches of a beautiful tree. We did other family portraits but this is my favourite:



Here are the kids, Scott, Ellis and Tom:











What a bunch of pros. Tom couldn't stop smiling for the camera - even when he was meant to concentrating on how to climb a tree, he kept pausing and flashing a look to the camera. I had to employ all my stealth skills.



This is Ellis in her bamboo hiding place:









Some nice cwtchy ones of Shelly and Steve together, they compliment eachother perfectly.





Oh and here is Tom being my photography assistant - how cute!



Thanks guys, I had great fun, and you were all perfect models. x
