The queen of 'Fab'ulousness

So the girls got literally dragged towards my latest fad the minute they set foot in the house after school.

The photographers brolly :)

Haven't ever been all that interested in people/portraits before...... Usually preferring bugs & flowers etc...... in true 'Dee' style........ when I develop an obsession of sorts, I end up throwing myself at it big style.

Haven't a clue what I'm doing really, googled info/advice until I'm blue in the face. Bamboozled myself with the sheer volume of stuff I've read...... but determined to learn :)

This photo was taken with the umbrella looming next to Lucy with my speedlight NOT off camera coz I need a bloody remote to fire the flash when it's on the stand!! One coming tomorrow :))))
(Clearly I didn't read quite enough about it all)

Ps: need to paint a white wall in my living room :)
