Album or Photo?

Pretty much all my wedding and portrait photography packages include a photo album which is also put together by me.

Matilda 3 year old Birthday Party!

The first time I took some photos of little Matilda was when she was just 2 weeks old. I can’t believe it when Rachael told me about Matilda’s 3rd birthday party! I mean it was like not too long ago when I took photos of little newborn Matilda and she’s turning 3 already!? (Actually it …
