err, that's my stick!

Have I told you how much I love my furry boys?

I particularly love the summer days when we can go on long walks together and search out beautiful waterholes for them to have a swim...

Moments like this is life at it's best.

Weekends

When the sun comes out, you just got to grab it.
And so we did this weekend.



Although plans we had originally made needed to be cancelled,
we managed to salvage some pleasure.



Sometimes all I really want and need is Cam, the boys, and maybe my camera to capture the moment.

Jenny and Rob are a special couple.
Together for over ten years, they have finally decided to tie the knot.
But, after a decade in the making, this is not going to be an ordinary day.
Or even two for that matter.
No, festivities to celebrate this lovely couple will be non-stop for 3 days!
I can't wait.

The question now is, which "save the date" card to use?

When I first started thinking about photography as a business; babies and children were the last subjects I had in mind.  McKinley-Rodgers Photography initially came into being under the name of Dogtales and Dreams when, inspired by the likes of Erin Vey, I was keen to tap into the dog-loving nature of the great British public.  I guess having my own fur babies as opposed to the human variety, played a part too; and I was unsure whether I had the passion for child photography.

It's funny sometimes how the thing you most resist turns out to be exactly what you are looking for. 

This month I had the joy of photographing Ella again. 
We first met when she was not quite a month old.  Gorgeous and tiny, she was a crumpled bundle of joy on her proud parents lap.

This time she greeted me with curious inspection, before eventually giving into my charms (or it could have been the bribe of a fluffy pink pig) and I fell in love.

From not thinking about babies, it's all I can think about now.
More babies to photograph please!
