Happy New Year!! I had really, really good intentions of posting on Xmas Day, to wish all my clients & blog readers a Merry Christmas… but it just didn’t happen. My pregnancy is almost over, and im really struggling now that ive put on so much weight (which im hoping is just fluid!), and its hot, bloody hot. I have now put my pelvis out, and im wearing a lovely maternity brace / belt to align it correctly, so I can walk without stopping to scream! And the latest one – carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand, which means that little things are really hard to do… like turning on a tap, lifting up a glass, typing, moving the mouse, and (god forbid), holding a camera! I did pick up my camera on xmas day, to hand it straight to my husband to take a few photographs of me in all of my 36 week pregnant glory…. scroll down if you’re interested in seeing those photos.
In the meantime, after resting my hand on ice, I did manage to create a few little storyboards of my favourite photos for 2008. This year, the first ‘real’ year, has been a massive one for Tiger Lily Photography. I should have counted up the number of happy faces I shot (der – maybe next year!). 2009 is already looking to be a big year – after I come back from ‘maternity leave’ in early March, I have a wedding in the gorgeous Blue Mountains, a few family portrait shoots, a trash the dress shoot, and a day after shoot! And thats just March!
A big thank you to my clients, blog readers (stalkers), friends & family for helping make 2008 a great year. And as promised – here are some of my favourite photos from 2008!
And here are a few photos that Stu took on Xmas day of me. And yes, my ankles are really that big…. no photoshopping here! I was told yesterday at my ultrasound appointment, that if baby lasts until 40 weeks, it will be a 4.2kg / 9pd2 bub – give me strength! No wonder my pelvis has already given up!
Happy 2009 guys, big kiss!
