Julia I can't even begin to explain what a wonderfully talented woman you are, both in your photography and in your parenting of your beautiful blended family.

All of have to say is...yes please definitely more of the same, preferably with some a bit closer to home. I am so looking forward to having a cup of tea and a natter with you one day while our kids run around being crazy!

Happy New Year to you and your gorgeous family.

Julia, I have loved watching you work your new camera and create some truly beautiful images of both your family and your city. You have a great ability to capture the fleeting moments of affection between people which give your photos a great depth. Can't wait to follow along with your blog again this year!

Wow, Julia!! 2013 was definitely a good year for you.You were always a fantastic photographer, but once you got your new camera you became unstoppable! Every post oozes with gorgeous light, unique compositions, and genuine, raw emotion. The magic three :-)

You continue to amaze with me with how quickly your talent progresses. I cannot wait to see where 2014 takes you. Yes, more of this, please....with a few surprises too (like with your street photography in 2013 - AMAZING!).

I also want to thank you for your numerous comments on my photos. You truly have a way with words and always have the most uplifting things to say. You have given me incredible amounts of confidence as I try to learn more about the technical side of photography. A million thanks, sweet Julia.

Best wishes for abundant love, light and laughter in the year ahead! xxxx

What a stunning collection Julia. It has been a thrill to watch your talents grow this year. What you have done with that new camera of yours is nothing short of amazing. You always had such a good eye and knack for composition so when you got your new camera your photography really took off! I love how moody your shots can be and the real sense of place your images give the viewer and I never tire of seeing those two beautiful children on yours.

Like Faith, I also wanted to thank you for your support and very generous and kind comments. You always say the sweetest things.

Hoping that 2014 brings you more of the same plus a little bit more :) xxx

oh Julia - yes, more more more!!! :) your photos are truly breathtaking (like, i gasp as i scroll through). love the lighting, the ethereal nature and just so many peaceful precious moments. the love seeps through them, truly. I REALLY admire your sweet commitment to taking pics of Ville this year. what a wonderful wife you are! keep the kids pics coming too though ok?! :) you are such an encouragement to our little group, and I am so grateful for the grace you bring with you wherever you go! xx
