Uh-oh, looks like someone thought they would give make-up a go. Someone needs to let her know that with make-up less is definitely more

Mothers day will be here before we know it and I don’t know about you, but I always get stuck for gift ideas for Mothers Day. Not to worry, I have the solution for you! Why not give Mum the gift of memories this year, what mum doesn’t love photos of her children? And Dad’s this would mean no having to go around and around the shops working out what to get your wife, win win!

Want the chance to win a free Mothers Day Session? You just need to become a fan of Melanie Joanne Photography on facebook and then come back here and leave me a comment letting me know. Already a fan, you can still play…..just leave me a comment. Winner will be drawn at random and will be announced on the 5th April 2010.

For the last week or so Gypsy (our family dog) has been staying with us, during the day she often likes to hang out with me in the office. Now it would be nice to think that she likes to hang out with me, but I am pretty sure that it is because the office is at the front of the house so she has a clear view of what is going on in the street. Gypsy is a nosy dog, likes to know everything that is going on, the slightest noise and she is at the window checking it out. She is such an affectionate dog, always wanting to be right next to you, will do everything she can to get your attention. Because of this it is difficult to get a photo of the little girl, she always ends up right next to me and way too close to the camera for it to be able to focus on her.

The other day I took Gypsy on a little excursion to my sisters kindergarten classroom, not only did the kids love seeing her but Gypsy loved all the attention and it must have tired her out. Once we were home, Gypsy curled up on her favourite armchair in the office and actually stayed put while I snapped a few photos of her.

Happy Endings, handsome princes, love stories, the ability to call animals to them, all things that Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel and Snow White have in common. My niece loves them, and I mean LOVES them! Actually she loves any story where a love story is involved, that girl loves love and even more than that she loves to dress up. Issy has more than enough costumes to last her entire childhood and have some to spare. When I came across this adorable Snow White costume while browsing on Ebay, I knew she needed it, it was too cute to pass up.

For a while Issy has been talking about dressing up as Snow White and having her photo taken. Now this is major, normally I am begging her to give me just 2 mins and even then she often turns me down. Issy gave me exactly 19 mins before she decided that it was done and we now needed to act out the story of Snow White, 19 mins where she cooperated for most of that time, 19 mins I am grateful to have.

She wasn’t very good at playing dead, she wanted to keep talking….hehe

Issy was pouting because she wanted a butterfly to land on her hand. In fact she was disappointed because we didn’t have any of the animals that Snow White has!

Snow White with Attitude!
