I’ve recently realised that I never post pictures of myself on my blog. This is mainly because I really don’t like having my picture taken and feel more comfortable on the other side of the camera.

Today we were at the beach and I asked Erin, my lovely neice, if she could take a few pictures of me and Niamh with my camera. She jumped at the chance and was snapping away like a professional. I thought having my daughter in the shots would be a comfortable situation for me as I never know what to do when the camera is pointed in my direction but I love cuddling her and its the most natural thing. I would have liked to have had Seanan in this shot but he couldn’t wait to get on the dodgems!

Anyway, it wasn’t as scary as I thought, so here are a few pics. I was so tempted to photoshop the heck out of myself but in the end I decided to just make them black and white as it hides a multitude! And this how we are, a little rough round the edges.
By the way, the hair is meant to be sleek and shiny but the sea air turns it to fuzz. We both suffer from this affliction! I love Niamh’s little, happy face in the first shot – she has been such a mummy’s girl lately.
