Back in November I posted a foggy blog after an autumnal morning walk (you can see it here). So this is part 2. The season has changed, but the walk is the same. It was a cold morning, my breath hanging in the air. A familiar walk becomes very different when veiled by the fog.

Me and Hannah haven't been out for a Friday walk for a while. It turns out we chose rather a good day to stomp. We have a favourite path we take. It's about an hour long - a climb up the heather covered hill, follow the path that runs between the silver birch, and then drop into the beech trees, with the perfect place to stop for a cup of tea. It sets us up for the day to come. There was a frost, and the grass underfoot and the delicate leaves were sparkling. It really did look like icing sugar. We were both taking photos and chatting about the weekend, when we felt little flecks of snow on our cheeks. We walked a little further, and as we walked, the flakes increased, and the valley was thrown into a silent white. For a few moments, everything still. Then as quickly as it started, it stopped, leaving behind a dusting on the leaves, the boughs, and our hats. When it snows, everything seems lighter.
A dreamy Friday walk.
I'm thinking that this blog should come with a cute warning. This little chap has the big baby blues, and just look at those cheeks!
Last autumn, we ran a competition to win one of our 'Day In The Life' shoots. We pulled Nicky's name from my flat cap (I really do have one!). We actually know Nicky & her husband Ben as we photographed their wedding back in 2012. So it was lovely to catch up with them and document family life for them now, with George making a starring role.
With no further ado, here he is!
I also made a film of my time with George, Nicky & Ben. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying making these!
If you've been thinking about booking a 'Day In The Life' shoot with us, we'd love to hear from you. We've also got a new Films page on the website if you'd like to take a look.
