Hello and thank you for calling in...

My name is Helen and I am a Photographer living in England. I started this Blog on the day that my Grandma died, three months after my Father died and several weeks before a third funeral. Initially it was a very personal way to stay connected to the people I'd lost and it helped, it really did. But writing and taking pictures everyday has opened back up a creative side that I had lost during the everyday. A big thank you to my followers, to those who take the time to comment and to new visitors, I hope we will become Blog friends too...

Sunset Chasers



There haven't been many days this year that I have felt like picking up the camera and venturing into the world outside, it's been a year of home and new business building. BUT there has been some tramping around in muddy fields and camera clicking. A call from a couple of friends one evening on what had been a thoroughly uninspiring day led to a sunset of splendiferous proportions and found us haring down country lanes in the car to capture it! Great fun and we each commented how much we'd missed doing it :-)

Tiny Toes and Wedding Bells

Ha ha I hear you cry, you've failed miserably and not blogged for 3 weeks! Not so, I have been writing furiously on another blog that I have created and am very excited about. Its taken up a lot of my time because I had almost a year of stories to catch up on but I'm sure I can manage the two now - gulp! Anyway the image above is a celebratory image of how much I'm loving my new job and who wouldn't with gorgeous newborn babies being photographed in the studio everyday!
They're also very much a Wedding photographers so its lovely to be working in an atmosphere of happy events and positivity. I've been quite surprised how different one studio can be from another and this one is an absolute joy to work in!

Time keeps rolling on


I started a new job today and walking home, I walked past a significant new building for our town, the new Council Offices. Construction had ground to a halt as the developers had gone into liquidation but now a whole new sparkly investor has been found and the project is steaming ahead again. Its a time for stop and start and keeping faith that the start will start again...in all fields.
I like the little jogger in the foreground too, a new start for a new year for her too.

Rain Rain go away

 
The rain is back! Surley there cannot be any drops left in the sky and I have to walk to work in the morning because my car is in poorly car hospital-Taxi! Nipping into one of my favourite shops today, I just loved their new window display (as I usually do) and I had to take a picture, from the inside of course, it was raining!

Prince Alfred takes the spotlight

A funny one today

Poor little Alfie is blissfully unaware that mummys about to go back to work. Both the cats have got used to me being around pandering to their every need over Christmas, they have become pretty demanding to be fair and I'm quite looking forward to having a break from THEM! I've had to put a lock on the outside of the bathroom door because they jump up in the bath and the sink all the time trying to get water out of the taps and they make such a mess! Because I'm renovating my house the bathroom is a shell now, taken back to the plaster walls, bare floorboards, its very dusty and its an endless clean up job. Adding cat prints and hair, oh my word how much hair my cats shed is unbelievable, to the mix is just annoying. But saying all that Alfie is great fun and he loves to play especially with carrier bags, he does take a good picture...
