After a frenzied morning of cleaning and grocery shopping here in Antwerpen, we 4 caught tram, train and metro over to Simon and Paola's place for a birthday party in Brussels.
I took my camera along for fairy photographs but couldn't resist taking a series of photographs as the party swirled around me and I understood that it's an area of work I would love to get into.
Ensconced in a comfortable chair in a terrace corner, I took some photographs I'm really delighted with - a father and son bubble-blowing series, the faces of the girls hanging upside-down and mothers in moments of quiet reflection, quite unaware of the camera.
I don't have permission so I can't post any images but it was a truly lovely way to spend a Saturday.
Thanks to Simon and Paola for letting the gate-crashing grandparents in ;)

You took some great shots, Di. I'll ask the others for permission (do you mind if I forward them the shots for approval and to try and sell them sessions with you?), but feel free to post any of us or the girls.
Thanks Simon, I felt lucky to be there in the corner in that very comfortable chair with nothing to do but drink champagne and wine and take photographs.
I'll give you a cd of all the best ones on Friday night and the others can anything they want free and at full resolution. Sometimes, with photography, it's about being there and having a really nice time :)
Thanks for the amazing photos. It was great having you over, although as usual I wish I had more time to actually talk to the adults!!
the father and son shots sound nice, hope you can post one
Just from your description, I can tell the pics are gorgeous
The photos are always a pleasure, Paola. So many children and a fairy to organise ... we were lucky to have any of you :) Maybe it's about time we had another party over here.
Me too, Van. I thought they were beautiful, in that they captured a moment that was lovely.
Hey thank you, deadlyjelly :)
