Rebecca Holmes Photography Weblog

Today is my husband, David’s birthday. David is the ‘other photographer’ in Rebecca Holmes Photography, the guy who doesn’t really get the credit, and who doesn’t seem to mind – so I thought it was about time I paid tribute to him, and thanked him for all his hard work. David carries all the kit, sets up backdrops, entertains the children, puts up with my nagging, assists me during portrait shoots, the list goes on and on… He is an all-round amazing help and support. However, this isn’t all David does. Many people are completely unaware of the fact that my husband is a pretty damn amazing photographer. He photographs the men before wedding ceremonies (and provides them with support and perhaps a nip of whisky if necessary!), photographs a lot of the scene shots – beautiful pictures of castles and churches, and gets a lot of the candid side on action shots that clients love. It is wonderful to work with my husband – after all – that’s how we met. It is particularly nice to enjoy so many other people’s weddings together – and remember our own every time. Below is a picture of my wonderful husband and my gorgeous daughter, Isabella. Thank you, David for all your love and support – have a fantastic birthday! xxx

Please welcome Isabella Christina Holmes, born 21st February 2009 at 05:56 at St John’s hospital in Livingston. Both mother and baby are doing well – dad needs a whisky!

Had our first scan today and here it is… The first picture of the newest member of the Holmes clan!!! Baby Holmes is due at the end of February 2009, so Rebecca Holmes Photography will be taking a wee break during February and March. David and I are both very excited!!!

We’ve just come back from our weekend holiday in Germany (in the sun!!!). We had such a lovely time, Rosie is at such a wonderful age – I was lying on the floor with her playing, and she rolled over to give me a cuddle – so sweet!!! She’s almost got the crawling down as well – although she looks a bit like a commando as she drags herself along the carpet with one arm and one leg! It’s quite funny! Somewhere in the last few months little Rosie has turned from a baby into the beginnings of a little girl! Still haven’t had David change a nappy yet though! It was really great to spend time with Andrew and Lucy – it’d be fantastic if we could live around the corner from each other! It’d be barbeque’s all the time I’m sure! Andrew and Lucy – thanks again for a wonderful weekend!!! Lots of love xo

Snow over Easter!!! Being an Aussie I still find snow amazing! However, none of us were really wearing the right clothes for a Christening in the snow – I was ploughing through the snow in stilettos! Rosie was beautifully behaved all weekend, despite being bombarded by all her Aunts and Uncles wanting cuddles! She’s getting so big!!! It was a great weekend, and so lovely to see all the family! Here’s a few pics;
