Motherhood

By melriddell | Published May 11, 2013

I never imagined having such overwhelming love for someone I had just met.
The way I felt in our room all alone that night, watching her sleep, wondering how she could really be mine.
How her first smile lit up the universe.  How my heart broke when she cried.
Holding her hand as she learned to walk, watching her grow, wanting to stop time, just a little.
Her pride in each achievement, her sharing them with me.
How every day is brighter simply because she is in it.
She says, “Mummy, I love you,” and they are the most wonderful words in the world.
My greatest joy.

I hope you have a beautiful Mother’s Day with yours.

Sunbeams

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,
But in your dreams whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Mila & Lily

All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.  ~ Lord Byron

I was so thrilled to be asked to photograph these gorgeous twin girls!  Ten weeks old, with the most amazing big blue eyes, and beauty that melted my heart.  They were pure joy to be with, and I look forward to watching them grow!  Here they are, the much loved, Mila and Lily.

Alice Lucy

By melriddell | Published October 22, 2011

Alice Lucy, a late arrival, was born on 6 October 2001 with a gorgeous head of chocolate brown hair and sapphire eyes.  I simply melted when I saw her, sleeping so soundly and completely unaware of all the action going on around her!  You might remember Jack from my previous post back in April.  Jack is now a very proud big brother, and is happy to introduce you to his new little sister – just two weeks old.  M x

Willow & Bailey

By melriddell | Published September 6, 2011

I had the pleasure of meeting a gorgeous 2 week old baby girl over the weekend.   I had almost forgotten how tiny and amazing newborn babies really are, little fingers and toes, velvet skin, and sleepy eyes full of dreams.  Willow is a new sister to Bailey, a very proud 2 year old boy with some fantastic dance moves and a beautiful smile.  I had a wonderful time taking these photographs.  M x
