My baby is four. Can you believe it? I can’t, even though I am surrounded by cards and balloons with it on.
I had an idea of where I wanted to take her birthday photo this year, which I use on thank you cards, but when I tried it, I just couldn’t get the shot I had in my mind. It was a bit frustrating. Not only did it start raining but the bandstand (see below) just didn’t work, for all sorts of reasons. Luckily it did make for a lovely shelter during the downpour.
Then one night we decided to head up to Mousehold Heath to let Freya run off some energy and I grabbed the balloon. I got some nice shots with Norwich as a backdrop and have used one of those on the card (along with some random ones).
Do you do special yearly photos? I wonder how long she will let me do it for?

Wishing you all a lovely week.
After The Rain 
Hi Tara, I hope she had a wonderful birthday and you got over the shock of having a four-year-old! I quite like the one of Freya in the bandstand. It reminds me a little of a picture where Christopher Robin is holding Pooh Bears paw with one hand and a balloon in another. We used to do a ‘special’ photo the first day of school, but that stopped a long time ago, now I have to catch my two by surprise to get a photo!

Happy birthday, Freya! Such beautiful photos.
I always insist on a photo of the birthday boy/ girl in front of their presents first thing in the morning.

Happy Birthday! We don’t have special birthday photos and now I wish we did. I love the view of Norwich from Mousehold we have a painting of it at home.

Happy 4th Birthday Freya! Outer eldest was 4 at the end of Feb. It’s amazing how much he’s grown into a total boy since being 4… so assertive! Hope Freya had a fabulous year. Love the balloon, great idea of taking yearly birthday photos, I think we might have to start that tradition!
