Ivan Rowley-Bond [Christening]

This is the first christening we have done and I have to say it was amazing, as with all of our weddings I was made to feel really welcome and one of the crowd (even by the camera shy folk :) and thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone have fun, drink wine (beer in some cases) and enjoy the delicious food that Kayleigh and Chris' family had so lovingly prepared, the pork was to die for, and the ham and the cheescake, I think you get the jist!!! Ivan is so gorgeous, happy, and smiley and took the day all in his stride (apart from a small power nap after lunch to regain his energy!)

Some of you may know that Karienne and I love all things vintage, so imagine my joy when I got to the venue and it was filled with vases of wild flowers, homemade vintage candle holders and the most beautiful baby blue bunting. I especially liked the little touches that had been put out, hale bales as seats, although the kids thought they were for jumping off LOL. Little blue and white tea cups with cream roses inside for table decorations, I was quite literally in vintage heaven. So, what a beautiful day it was to have a Christening, we had a little bit of rain but it certainly didn't hamper peoples fun or the atmosphere of the day, it soon cleared and everyone enjoyed the sunshine and beautiful surroundings again. Happy Christening day Ivan.....

Welcome, Alexander! ;-)

If you've been following us for a while you probably remember my beautiful sister Liana. If you haven't got slightest clue what am I on about, check out this post! Well, I am very happy to be able to announce that last Friday 1st of July 2011 at 9.09 am, there has been an addition to our family and as you have probably figured out by the title of this post, his name is Alexander!

Alex is cute and adorable beyond words and I can't find words that would describe how proud and happy my entire family is to finally meet this little miracle we have all been waiting for last 9 months! I just stare at him for hours because he is absolutely perfect and can't stop thinking about all the adventures we are going to get up to together as he grows older.

It's been less than a week since Alex's birthday and he's already got a portfolio of images any aspiring model would be proud of. :-) Here are some of the pictures I took of him. 

Love Karienne

PS: As always, enjoy and drop us a line in the comments area. :-)

The pictures above and below were taken the day after Alex was born. His mum threatened never to speak to me again if I publish any of her photos, so I am posting one with me for now. At least until I manage to use my persuasion skills to get Liana in front of the lens. :-)

And here are a few from yesterday's session with Alex and his proud daddy.
