The Grandparents

Having saved our last Ollan Mills photo session to give to Maman and Daddy for Christmas to have a photo taken of them with all their grandchildren, having arranged for Poppy to come up for the weekend for said photo session, having received a confirmation phone call for said photo session on Weds...... Picked up a message from Ollan Mills on Friday to say the company has gone into receivership..... NO PHOTO!!!!

I can honestly say that I was gutted but Tom put it into perspective for me.... think of all those young photographers who have just been made redundant, a fortnight before Christmas?!


We decided to go ahead with photo session with Four Acres as the venue......

Well I now know WHY we pay a photographer to take group photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of shouting, positioning, laughing, giggling, blinking, tilting heads, looking away, tickling, balancing,crying, sulking, getting bored.......probably in the region of 50 odd photos taken (thank goodness for digital cameras!!!) ... I think we have a charming OK photo! (disappointingly not one that jumped out and said THIS IS IT, although M&D have some more.)
Maybe we need to invite Fiona up again for a weekend and have an informal outdoor photo shoot...But we didn't get much notice for this one!!
