Ok, so I’m emotional at the best of times (and the worst of times, and anytime really…) so when the beautiful Barb of JinkyArt told me our images were ready from our recent session, I just about broke down. Well, not just about. I did. Tears, smiles, goosebumps – all of it.
In honour of my 30th recently, I wanted nothing more than some images with my family. As a photographer, it is near impossible to get an opportunity to be in lovely photos with your own children, so I knew exactly what would make my heart sing for my birthday.
Barb is amazing – she gave me everything I could possibly wish for, and more. Beautiful, heart-felt, loving images with all of that Jinky magic that just follows her wherever she goes. I feel so thankful to have these loving memories of my family.
And as gorgeous as she is, she’s even blogged us -so head on over here to her blog, and check out her yummy images:
{Thank you my lovely friend, I have said it a million times already, and I’ll say it again once more… thank you! My heart has grown even bigger because of you xx}
