Lily: time to get ready to party
Eliott: Turned 14 and I still can't believe it.
October portraits will again be very quick (and late but less than the September ones. I had basically only a good half hour with Lily. I have been away and then she has been away. But as It's Eliott's birthday on the 1st of November, I took him on a little train road trip so I have a lot more of him!
Since it was so short with Lily we decided to make it fun. I had just gotten back from London with some Harry Potter presents. So there was our theme: a little HP party! She did some online test and her house is Ravenclaw, just so you know!

And we added some sparkles to the fun:
(Can you feel that me and her are totally ready for the Christmas shenanigans to come already?)
Luckily, I also captured her by surprise blowing bubbles, I'm so happy I have a couple of candid portraits too (more rare these days I have to say):

Now on to my teenager who just turned 14 (yes, I'm a bit traumatised !). I got lucky enough to spend 5 full days with him alone and it was so great for bonding again which hasn't been easy lately. We went to Paris for two days, then one day in Rotterdam and finally two days in Amsterdam.
There was a lot of visiting, shopping and skateboarding. And I did a portraits session in each places! So Paris first. Just a simple one with a beautiful door:
Then some skateboarding in Rotterdam with some beautiful light:
And Amsterdam, with again some amazing good weather and some fun times with pictures. We just loved finding a black wall. And how about this evening light:
Eliott really loved the Oatly ads all over town. Quite funny, so we had to take a pic:
Love that black wall! And finally a little session in a skate park before we left. Did I say already that we were so lucky with the weather?:
And now for the usual outtakes!
I hope you are bearing with me. Now on to Eliott's Outtakes:

Yes, I played a lot with that ray of light (and thanks if you made it down to here! Hope I won't be as late as now for November but since I'm on bed rest with my foot up for an indefinite period, I'm afraid I will... I think November portraits my be ... very still!
