New Years Resolution!

Yep, I know - I'm really late with this whole New Years Resolution thing but better late than never! I have been trying for a days to summarize concisely what exactly I want to do this year and, admittedly, I never really make proper resolutions beyond ''try to eat clean' and 'exercise' - neither of which ever seems to come to fruition. This year, while trying to make resolutions, everything seemed too precise, too contrived and just too bloody not-going-to-last-past-January-ish. Until I wandered along this little nugget, which seems to encapsulate everything I was trying to say but in about 1/100th of the words.

2015. Let's be grateful!

Christmas Cookies!

So. I may have got a little bit snap happy over these little beauties but am I going to apologise? Nope. I'm also pretty pleased (and slightly smug) to mention that they don't even taste half bad, probably owing to the extra million tbsp's of vanilla essence that Mikey added to them rather than any baking expertise on my behalf. However, I'm not proud to admit that at least six cookies perished in the baking process. Because Pinterest stopped me checking the time. Obviously.

I used this short and sweet recipe.

Suzie Lopez

Here are a few images from a lovely morning shoot I did on Friday with Suuuusie. She is an incredible local singer (not just saying that - have a listen on YouTube here and see for yourself) who will be launching her EP at the Harlequin Theatre, Redhill on the 7th of February 2015. These pictures will be out and about around Reigate and Redhill promoting her gig so obviously I'm veeeery excited and honored to have been able to take them, yippee!

They were taken at a local golf course in the early morning so naturally I had to edit more than a few dog walkers out of the background. We also got heckled by some elderly golfers. Luckily Susie declined the serenading request - although it might have made for some interesting promoting pictures ha!

She's definitely worth a listen and a like on Facebook.
