It's been a very long time since I've updated my blog, so let me tell you a bit about what has been going on.

Late in 2016, I discovered that I was pregnant with my fifth child. Very early into this pregnancy, I had complications with my pelvis. It's a pregnancy condition called pubis symphysis dysfunction or SPD for short. Most women don't get this at all. Some women have it mildly. Unfortunately, it was very severe for me. I had to stop working and at times, I required a walker to move around. Often, this condition resolves immediately when baby arrives, but a small number of cases have ongoing complications and require ongoing care. Unfortunately, this is also the category that I fall into. Hence the reason that I have had so much time away from my photography business. I have slowly been recovering and I have commenced the journey to reestablish my business.

But...for the lovely news. On 4th July 2017, we welcomed our precious baby girl, Ava into the world. I had the most intense, but lovely birth, and she was delivered into a birthing pool. I pulled her head out of the water, and she didn't make a sound. She simply stared at us and drank in our love. She has been a lovely addition to our family.

I will now spam you with a year's worth of images of our beautiful girl.
