Oh, I’m all embawwassed now.

Angie rang me jumping out of her skin with excitement today because she discovered this:

My site was nominated for Best Photography Blog!

You’d think I’ve been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize! :)

Well thank you to you beautiful people who have voted – I didn’t even know I rated here – even though I browse through this site sometimes, not for a moment did I even think to search for myself!!! I’m very flattered and a wee bit embarrassed. Thankyouuuu!
I’m just finishing the ordering for this shoot I did in January…luckily Tracey has been exceptionally patient, waiting all this time for me to get back into business mode. It was an unbelievably hot day and they still managed to look this gorgeous!


…and just a few from another shoot I did last weekend.. at my place which is not the norm for me and required some frantic tidying and dispatching of my own children who saw no problem with putting themselves in the photos :p


I’m really excited to be taking bookings again and will launch a new site in a few weeks..A million thanks to Barb from Jinky Art for being so kind and helping me get inspired. It’s been slow going, but it is coming together and I’m really looking forward to putting full days into photography again.

    heeheehee I just saw Angies shameless plug on Myspace about this :)

    But you do deserve it! God knows you should get an award, especially the way my mother goes goo goo over every picture you post on here! When you don’t post here every day it’s like she didn’t get to have her morning coffee! I am betting others feel the same way bout your blog too!

    congratulations on your award nomination Sheye – you have every right to feel very proud of your work as it is simply stunning.

    As for those gorgeous girls of Tracey’s…sigh, that is my most fav photo of Miss E (the first one) and you have captured the spunky little cherub and all of her personality to a Tee!!! Can’t wait to see what Tracey finally chooses (now if I looked like Tracey you may find me in front of a camera more – gorgeous lady, gorgeous friend – and I know I don’t have to tell you that!!!)

    Reading this post brought tears to my eyes – “happy tears” as my kids say. It is like music in my soul to hear you speak about your enthusiasm for photography again – it really is soul food for you honey. You are exceptionally talented technically but you know how to make your subjects feel and look beautiful and like they are the most special person you have ever photographed. We all feel that way. You have the most amazing career ahead of you if you choose to take it that way…and if you choose to continue to just please your friends and family and word of mouth stuff (which is also fine by me!!!) you will continue to bring many smiles on many faces with the memories you create. Love you immensley. xxx

    Congrats honey!!!
    You so deserve that nomination, your work is breathtaking.I could hear the lift in your voice in this post. Love it.

    Tracey’s photos are awesome! How cute is Miss Rosie in her glasses & since when did E look so grown up!?!
    Can’t wait to see what she gets.

    Our world would be a less vibrant place without your photos & your blog xx

    You go Girl!!!!!!

    Firstly congrats, hugs and kisses. You so deserve this, your beauty shines in every photo you take and it should be rewarded (as should your skill).

    Noel and I were talking tonight about the little steps we keep making and we spoke so fondly of your re-emerging joy out of doing something you previously loved.

    Your honouring Ava in the very best way possible- by living fully and seeing the beauty I know you are forever trying to capture.

    You have a gift and I am so glad that I have been lucky enough to have been touched by it.

    Are you preparing your acceptance speech? I think that you are the best photographer I’ve ever seen. I so wish I could have you do Abby and J.T. You always capture the subject’s personality so well…. which may mean that my kids would have horns on their heads if you were to photograph them. :-) It is wonderful to “hear” the excitement in your “voice.” Congratulations!
