I’ve had some fun this week, firstly with our new curtains (no, really) which I discovered made a dramatic photo backdrop (they are actually “Hotel Grey” not black), secondly with an actual black (and white) backdrop (an early birthday present) and thirdly playing around with cropping.
This one of Freya, against the curtains, is not entirely in focus but then, as she’s like a whirlwind, very few of them are.
I showed Mark the pic of me (below) and he said I looked like a mass murderer so maybe I won’t use it as my Twitter profile – or maybe I will, depending on what sort of day I’m having. I like that you can see my next victim Mark reflected in my eyes, if you look closely.
Just to prove that we can be (semi) normal. Here is one with the white background too.
Thanks for stopping by, wishing you a lovely week.

The cropped picture of Freya is really beautiful. I don’t think you look like a mass murder in the one of your eyes, more like you are looking through a letterbox… Maybe that sounds bad too. They are all lovely pictures though

Thank you! I think that sounds far better than being a mass murderer (although maybe still a bit creepy) 🙂

Tara, These photos are incredible! They look so professional! Freya’s photo is special as well as the one of your eyes, green eyes( like me) are earthy and mysterious! 😊

Aww, thank you. I was hoping Freya would inherit green eyes but she has the exact same colour as her dad.

Hi Tara, the curtains do make a nice backdrop for your photos. I like the second photo, but maybe not as a profile picture. It would probably work well as a poster in your little one’s bedroom with the words “Mums watching you” printed underneath.
