Mitchell’s First Day of School
Yesterday, Mitchell had his first day of school! Mitchell is my little nephew.. he’s a little shy.. ok he’s alot shy.. and to get these photos of him was rather miraculous! I turned up at his school to watch him start his first day of school… choose his locker (he chose the locker with a picture of balloons on it) and meet his new classmates.
I was reminded of the importance of having photographs at special occasions.. I remember so vivdly my first day of school.. and holding on to my daddy oh so tight and asking him never to leave. I remember sitting on the metal seats outside the classroom, snuggling into him..and I really wish I had a photo of this moment. My dad passed away when I was 14 from a brain tumour…photos of my dad and I are so special, especially considering there aren’t very many. Dad was always behind the camera and wasn’t in enough photos at all.
It really was a blessing to be able to be a part of Mitchell’s first day of school and to relive some old memories that are so dear to me.
Until next time.

What good looking grandchildren we have, must take after their Mother. Top photos James.
I wanted to say thanks heaps for the album. It’s great! But while I’m here i’ll say your nephew is so very cute.
James, these photos are absolutely gorgeous! I can’t pick a favourite. The last one is so sweet. Hope he had a wonderful first day.
The photos of Mitch are lovely. Mitch is very lucky to have such a talented uncle.
So cute!! Love the pic of Mitchell resting on mummy…awwww
What a big day in a child’s life and in a Mummy’s
I did the first day 5 times and believe me it can be as emotional for the Mums and Dads. What a lovely memory to share with us! Love the snuggling shot

I love how you are…. sounds like you’ve got that memory pretty close to your heart - they way you describe it makes me think of how that photo would look!!!
