Welcome back & Paris

 

I have certainly neglected this space over the past year, which I'm sad about, but at this stage in life I've not yet learnt how to focus on lots of things all at once. I want to use this space, to have a way of processing and sharing life, rather than photos staying imprisoned in hard drives and stories kept to ourselves.

A few big things have happened this year, we did our first peak season of wedding photography, moved churches, moved houses, joined churches, both started school, new jobs, new community. We've spent a lot of great time with our families and had the chance to travel to sunnier shores. 

At this moment in time I'm not running craft workshops, actually all my craft things are in storage in a friends attic (hopefully not for too long!). So the focus of this blog will change accordingly. It'll be more photos and more personal, illustrating this season.

I thought I'd start by backtracking to last April when we took a trip to Paris, the first time I'd ever been. It was my Christmas present from Matt. The trip happened at the end of one of the busiest seasons of our marriage, we were really tired and spent the first afternoon feeling a bit guilty about being asleep in our hotel room. I had just started reading Hemingway's 'A movable feast' it's all about his time in Paris in the 20's. So everything we saw had a slightly nostalgic shine.
