Johnny's naming ceremony

A few years ago I decided business was good enough that I needed to make use of professionals to do things that professionals did best. That's how I met Mike who is a very talented graphic designer and he designed my logo and many of my business cards.

Mike repaid me the professional favour by asking me to photograph his son's naming ceremony in Amble.

It was a great afternoon as both Mike and Nickys' families are musical and we were treated to a mini-concert into the bargain.










Johnny's big sister Astrid was having a great time and certainly liked the cakes!





While the boring grown-ups enjoyed the music by tapping their feet, Astrid and her friends let loose on the dance floor - Great fun!




Mike's sister is quite well known in the folkie world as Bill Jones and she'd written a verse for "Johnnie Lad" specially



Mike's Dad on fiddle...



and the kids' songs were so lovely I was quite moved. Singing like that at 6 and 8 - wonderful to see...

I love the picture of the 2 little girls dancing! Photos of kids look so much better when they are natural like that. They look to be having a whale of a time!
