In case you were wondering why I haven't added a diary entry in a while, here is the excellent reason. It's with great joy that my wife and I introduce our second child, Isabella-Rose, born just before Christmas. She joins her 3-year-old brother Gabriel here in our studio for her first formal portrait. Love, Joshua Winterson.
We are hands-on parents, with firm beliefs in looking after the children ourselves, and spending every possible moment with them during the crucial early years. That's why I have blocked out much of this year, and have severely limited my availability. That hurts a lot financially, but the emotional rewards are so much greater. We also firmly believe that the long-term benefits of raising wonderful children into wonderful adults far outweighs all other concerns.
Of course, my photography continues, and you can look forward to more beautiful weddings and portraits appearing very soon, hot off my cameras as the work rolls on. Image-making is such a joy, isn't it? I look forward to hearing your comments on parenthood, and whether I'm doing the right thing by putting the kids first?
If you are interested in seeing more of my portraits, you can see some in here, and here.
