Day 36/365

As some ladies were unable to find childcare, and lads got called offshore earlier than scheduled, only these three lovelies were able to attend the workshop, and we had a great time! I stayed with Catriona and her family on Friday night, and it was so lovely to meet her after weeks of messaging back and forth to decide whether the workshop was going ahead or not and make plans. I'm really looking forward to heading back to Ullapool later in the year to catch up with Catriona and run another workshop for everyone who was unable to attend the first :)

Day 35/365

I got back to the mainland on Friday afternoon, as planned, with no ferry issues...it was wonderful! Haha. As I was running a workshop in Ullapool on Saturday I headed out on the hunt for a nice location to go to for the pratical time in the afternoon, and found this lovely wee spot, where I tried out my new neutral density filter for the first time. Not bad.

Day 33/365

I was happy to finally get stuck in to some portrait sessions on Wednesday, and since I've put a few shots of these lovely ladies on Facebook already I thought I'd show you something a little different. Gotta love a classic black and white shot :) Aren't they all so cute!

Day 32/365

When I eventually did make it to Lewis, I arrived to a very cold house, as the boiler had run out of oil. So I was very thankful for this beautiful contraption, providing some heat! But because the house is empty for the majority of the year, it's pretty cold, and it took a while to raise the temperature even a little, so I snuggled with two hot water bottles and an extra blanket through the night. Good times.

Day 31/365

Stuck in Inverness for another day, but I didn't mind really when this fluffy little monster was following me about :)

Day 30/365

So this was the day I was supposed to be getting the ferry to Lewis...I stopped off to see Matthew's Parents, and give them the canvas they'd ordered from their family photos back in January, and then headed on towards Ullapool. 45 minutes in to my journey I got a call from Matthew's Dad saying I might as well turn around as the ferry hadn't even left Stornoway! Good times. So I made a U-turn and headed back to Inverness, to spend the night at Matthew's Parents house. These are the beautiful tulips that Maggie got for Mothers Day. I love tulips!

Day 29/365

 With Easter weekend a few weeks away, and the students going off on their half term break before exams, we decided to do an egg decorating night for FCYA. I'm pretty chuffed with their efforts!
