My favourite picture.

For the gallery. This time with prizes 😉

Since Tim got me a fab camera for my birthday last year, I’ve been taking a lot of pictures. So you’d think it might be difficult to choose my fave.

But it’s not.

You’ve seen this one before. You might even have liked it. But there’s more to it than a picture of my girls together, even though that makes it pretty cool in itself.

I quite like it for the lighting, for the obvious love in Big’s pose, for the lovely way that her baby sister is gazing up at her. I like it for the balance between them, the interaction and interplay.

And I like it even more because of the new start it signifies.

It’s taken in our new house, with our new baby, when we put behind us the miscarriages, the disastrous career decisions, the awful move, and some of the grief of losing my sister. It was the end of December 2009, and a new start for us all.
