Happy Birthday

As is tradition here these days, when one of the kids has a birthday they get a mini photo shoot as part of the celebration. To celebrate the second birthday of my youngest this week I actually had to delay things by a couple of days. Unfortunately she had a cold and wasn't feeling particularly cooperative and the weather was fairly lousy too. The nice thing about a November birthday is the opportunity to shoot in autumn colour so I really wanted to get outside if possible. 

So this was a couple of days late and I had to concede to allowing her to bring her phone but we got there in the end. It could have been a slightly better shot as the sun had been out about 15 minutes earlier and would just have provided a rim light on the hair that would have provided a bit more separation from the background, but I'll take what I got considering how challenging it can be photographing the kids. So Happy 2nd Birthday to my youngest and thanks for looking at the camera, keeping your hair clips in and agreeing to come to the bottom of the garden to have your picture taken in the first place. I love it and I hope you'll love it when you look back on it in years to come xx
