Happy New Year to all!

What's a new year without a new baby portrait to add to my churches 'Nursery Wall' ? This is my first portrait for 2012 and he has stolen my heart.

Joan

My mother at age 21,  a fair British rose! I did this portrait in graphite from an old photo that my dad carried with him while he was 'doing his bit' overseas in Kenya in the mid- fifties.

Lauren and Drew

Our beautiful middle daughter, always the practical one, has blessed us with the best son-in-law in the world! He has added so much to our family and absolutely adores her!

Colleen

My last born daughter, at age 4, who captured my heart, and everyone else's too!  Daddy used to call her his little "lapel pin" because one of her favourite places to be was in his arms, resting her head on his shoulder.

Erika

My firstborn daughter....so precious! I remember thinking when I was expecting my second daughter, "How can I ever love another baby as much as I love Erika?" ( I discovered that, fortunately, love is unlimited!)

Lauren

At 2 months old she wowed us all with her HUGE blue eyes! The baby photographer was amazing, I have no idea how he got her to keep the position and then, get her to beam at him with such a saucy smile!

Liam

Liam is my first grandson and so occupies a very special place in my heart. He just turned a year old at the beginning of March and because his daddy is in the Navy, they live far away and I don't get to see them very often. I am thankful for Skype!
