I wanted to share with our readers my personal favorite shots from 2009. These are personal and family shots – not paid work and hopefully provides some insight to us as a family.
January
I love this shot. It’s essentially an outtake from a studio session with my girls but it just seems to have so much emotion in it.
February
My favorite wildlife shot of the year. This was a hard one to choose as I have so many great photos from Chester Zoo but this was the first time I had seen their new cheetahs and they were so photogenic.
March
March was a quiet month for us photographically but this shot stood out for me. Just out with the girls on their bike and this just seems to capture the happiness in her.
April
This night was simply amazing! Argentinean theatre company Grupo Puja performed outside Dewsbury Town Hall and showed off their amazing aerial acrobatic routines.
May
What a great day out it was a Harewood House for Noddy’s 60th birthday party. Here’s my favorite multiplicity shot from last year of my daughter shooting down a slide. This too quite a lot o work to get right but I am chuffed to bits with the result.
June
Oh the early summer evening of June (sigh). Walking the dog through the corn fields (on the paths of course) and enjoying the balmy spring/summer weather. Bliss.
July
Meet the neighbours from our camping holiday back in July. We pitched our tent the other side of the separating fence and these you cows were rather intrigued by us.
August
This is an absolute favourite. A summers evening walk with the children and the dog through the fileds and into the distance. The dog was happy, the children were happy and I was happy – result.
September
These tree shadows called out to be shot whilst on a walk through Judy Woods. I find the shots quite mysterious and intriguing.
October
Here’s a candid shot I took at a family Christening in October. This is my niece and her boyfriend and I just love the emotion of their expressions.
November
Another month and another family gathering. This time another nieces 18th birthday and the little dancer is my youngest showing the “old folk” how to shake some moves.
December
Oh Christmas. What’s more Christmassy than Christmas pudding? Doesn’t it just look so tasty?
So there you have it – personal favorites from each month of 2009. This was not easy at all and in some months it was ever so difficult to choose a favorite. Hope you have enjoyed seeing them.
