how did we manage that?!

Posted by Claire on May 22, 2009 in Blog and tagged , , .

We recently had a friend and colleague of mine come take pictures of our little boy to mark his first birthday and I saw them for the first time today. Paula is undeniably talented behind the lens but I have to say (warning – shameless mummy boast coming up) that the subject matter in this case had a lot to do with it as well! I look at these pictures and my heart just swells up with pride and love; even one year on it’s hard to believe that we made that, I grew him inside me. It really is a miracle! Big thanks to Paula for being so lovely and so talented, and thanks to my beautiful boy for making me the happiest mummy alive x

About Claire

Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!

    Oh thank-you so much Claire!
    This is exactly the reason why I love photographing children – its really for the parents and I alway hope my images touch their hearts in some way and that I can truly capture the essence of their child.
    I have to agree though – Alfie made it very easy for me!
    He is the new poster boy for Paula O’Hara Photography!
    By the way love this new blog thingy – I must subscribe.
