A gorgeous little girl on Christmas Day

To be honest, I don’t post many photos of children because of the legalities can be complicated, but I just had to ask permission for this particular little girl. Her name is Rowan. I met her and the parents whilst volunteering for a local church’s free Christmas dinner on the 25th. There were quite a few volunteers on the day, but Rowan was probably the star of the afternoon. She is full of life and personality and did not seem phased by the whole event at all. There were the homeless, the elderly, the lonely and the Foreign*.

Rowan was very bubbly with a very curious nature; my Nikon D3 seemed to fascinate her whenever I pointed it at her adorable face. Unlike some children, she did not shy away and quite liked the attention.

I was at the Church for a reason other than to document the day photographically; so I had fleeting moments when I could relax when taking shots; taking photographs of Rowan was a wonderful surprise of the day and made my Christmas Day a little more special.

What Christmas meant to me. Helping the local Church

I don’t know about you, but every year it becomes harder and harder to identify what Christmas actually means, but last year I found it by helping out at St Marys church right in the middle of Aylesbury. The church organises a team of volunteers and sets out a meal for the homeless, the elderly, the disabled, the poor and the lonely. The act of buying presents and giving in that way means little to me, but being able to talk to someone over a Christmas meal and a cup of tea brings a entirely new meaning to giving.

Christmas Eve with the Muppets!

For the past 3 years now I have adopted a custom of watching The Muppet’s Christmas Carol every Christmas Eve. That is when Christmas officially starts for me; I go round to my good friends the Jeffries and they host a gather of like minded people who also like to eat, drink (lightly) and watch a Muppet’s classic. It just so happens that I bought along my Nikon D3 to take some photos.

Technically, the room was very dark. I wasn’t sure if even the D3 could take photos in poor lighting conditions, but with a low shutter speed and steady hand I managed to get some shoots I knew I could adjust in Lightroom if I had to.
