I just wanted to let you guys know what has been happening around here and why it has been abit slow and also what will be happening in the future. Last week I was finally diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. After spending the last 12 mths being extremely tired and with my arthritis playing up I went to the doctor to expecting to be diagnosed with Rhumatoid Athritis as this is what we had thought I had for the last few years. Instead of my bloods showing rhumatiod factors they showed that I in fact had an underactive thyroid. After getting over the initial shock I read a list of symptoms and lo and behold I had all but 1. I thought I was just exhausted because I have 4 boys and I am running a business…..lol. I have now started on medication which I will have to take for the rest of my life and I have been told that in 3-4 weeks I will start to feel much better. Unfortunately it seems that my body is have trouble adjusting to them and I feel so much worse right now. Hopefully in a month or so we will be back to normal programming and I will once again be up to date with everything.

So if I am a little slow in responding to emails or a little slow in getting your slideshow up, this is the reason. I really hope to be feeling better in a few weeks time, especially as I am heading north for an amazing workshop AND I have my 35th birthday, so I have to be better for that. So please feel free to give me a nudge if I haven’t responded to an email for a couple of days or if your slideshow has taken longer than 1 week and I will do my best to get back to you.

I just wanted to share a few more from my session with little Satu, her mum asked if I could come back and take a few of her feeding as she is the last little one to join the family and wanted some memories of this fabulous time. There is nothing that can compare to the high you get when you are feeding your babies. I loved this part and I do miss feeding my babies. If this is something that you might like to have as part of your session no matter what age your baby is, I would love to do that for you.

Gosh it has been quiet around here. I have had a few thigns happening in home life so unfortunately my photography had to take second place. All is good now so look out, this blog is about to be inundated with gorgeous photos of gorgeous people.

So on that note let me introduce you to this gorgeous little girl. Satu is the youngest sister of a friend of my eldest boy Ryan, so I have known her mum Leanne for quite a few years. When I found out that Leanne was expecting another little girl I was so very excited. We had planned on taking some maternity photos but Satu and the weather had other ideas. I did get to meet her over the weekend and she was oh so lovely I could have cuddled her all afternoon. She is going to be very loved, and looked after, with two older sisters to help take care of her.

Isn’t she just so sweet, especially with a little hint of a smile in this first photo.

Congratulations again Leanne and Petri on your new little girl, she fits so perfectly into your family.
