It seems that everybody but Fiona has seen her maternity photos.

Don’t you think some people are just too paranoid about their kids’ photos and allowing somebody with a friendly website to post the photos in their blog.

The Jackson Files (16 comments.) - November 30, 2008 - 12:29 pm

Hi Jeanette. It was awesome to finally meet you and your beautiful boys IRL yesterday. SO looking forward to the Xmas Bloggirls lunch next weekend.
BTW. Your pictures are really something special.

Gini (1 comments.) - November 30, 2008 - 12:13 pm

Beautiful work! I particularly like the one of Fiona showing off her belly. What a great picture to show show her kid someday!

[...] posted a few photos from The Kid’s birthday party on Sunday, and his mom has now given her permission for me to post some more.  It was a scorcher of a day, [...]

[...] Jeanette  and her son Bradley took the most beautifull pictures. What a pleasure it was to meet you as well! Connor is just the cutest thing! Jackson’ mom with her one beer was hillarious! Just lover her way of looking at the world and her adorable son Jackson. Megan had such a blast and passed out in the car on the way to the party number 2. She was just swimming, splashing, eating indulging in all the sweets and yummy stuffies! She loves the interaction with other kids and it was so nice to actually see more boys then girls at a party (So at least now there is hope that 1 day she will find a husband!) [...]

[...] All my favourite people were there – The Boyfriend, The Kid, The Boyfriend’s lovely family, my family and my wonderful blog friends. Jeanette and her kids and camera were there. It was lovely to meet her. I didn’t get to spend much time with her, she was running around with her camera, snapping away – capturing memories for me. I was far too busy to take pictures myself. She’s a stunning lady – far too pretty to be behind the camera. Her oldest son Bradley was taking pictures as well, which I thought was awesome. Such a cool skill to develop at such a young age. Such an amazing thing to be able to teach your child. Well done, Jenty. I can’t thank you enough for how special you made yesterday. She put up a few of the pictures, more to follow when I have them, but in the meantime, you can go here. [...]

Grungy Car

I didn’t only take photos of Fiona at the old car when we did her maternity shoot on Sunday.  And these photos are perfect for this week’s Metal photohunt (I haven’t taken part in photohunt for a few weeks).

Wonderful shots! I love old cars/trucks and can only imagine what they’ll be driving/riding when our current models are thought of as “old”.

Similar is right! Except that’s our old truck that I have up for my Photohunt. Someday, though, it’ll be junked! LOL

My little Batman

Most of my blogging this week has been about Bradley!! That hasn’t happened in a long time. And yes, this is about him again! I had to pick Bradley up from school today, and when that happens it’s impossible for me to leave the kids at home with Beauty, so I stayed at home this...

Bradley’s developing a love for Photography

He took these yesterday after I took the photos of Elaine.  He’s developing quite a good eye… these were all taken with my 50mm lens. Not bad for a 5 year old hey?! He was quite funny afterwards when I was looking at the photos he’d taken and I’d commented on how good they were:...
