Jonas – A month old…

28th August 2010 · 5 Comments

Yesterday was our due date for the new baby. Weird considering he’s now a month old already!

He’s doing great though. Sleeping well and happy (asleep) most of the time. His big brothers keep wanting to play with their new little brother and our family feels just a little more complete. Our house, however, is feeling somewhat smaller!

To celebrate Jonas being here for a month we took time, on a rare Saturday off, to take some new photos.

A Brand New Story…

30th July 2010 · 27 Comments

As photographers we regularly get to tell other people’s stories. It’s something I think I’m pretty good at.
Occasionally, we get to tell stories of our own.

Tuesday 27th July 2010 began like any other day.
But it ended extraordinarily.

World meet Jonas

Jonas was born at 21:50 on Tuesday 27th July, exactly a month early! He was born around 35 minutes after Evelyne & I arrived at the hospital!!! He weighed 6lb 6oz. He’s perfect.
Happy 3rd Birthday Elliott

17th July 2010 · 4 Comments

Three years ago today our lives changed forever.

Today is Elliott’s 3rd birthday and we’re so proud of the gorgeous, kind, funny boy he’s growing up to be.

Elliott’s in Montreal for his birthday, spending time with Evelyne’s family & friends. They come home in 2 days and I can’t wait to see them. We’ll have a party here next weekend

Happy Birthday Elliott. We love you more than you know…. xx

And here’s Elliott & his little brother, Isaac, chewing the fat on the porch while they were in Montreal. Makes me smile every time
The Naked and Famous – Young Blood

8th July 2010 · No Comments

Every now and then a song or band just totally grabs my attention and has me wanting to tell the world about it.

I stumbled across this clip by The Naked & Famous thanks to Jory Cordy on Twitter and the video, combined with the tune, is the best music video I’ve seen in ages. It was directed by Special Problems.

I guarantee it’ll brighten you day….

My Mom & Dad

3rd July 2010 · 3 Comments

Often, as a pro photographer, it’s all too easy to neglect taking photos for myself. And, even when I do, finding time to edit them and, importantly, HAVE THEM PRINTED!

These photos are of my own Mom & Dad. They were taken back in March. I edited them today.

I will have them printed this week though and they’ll be up in our home within a few days.

You can never have too many photos of the people you love most. Get your camera and go and take some
Fathers Day – Transatlantic Style

20th June 2010 · 2 Comments

So, on Thursday, Evelyne and the kids headed to Montreal (Evelyne’s hometown) to visit friends & family for a month. I won’t see them until July 19th

I’m back here in the UK keeping busy.

Being Father’s Day, I missed Elliott & Issac a lot today but then I got this video…

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there, especially Ray Gerrard, my Dad… xx
Evelyne and Me :) Photos by Emma Case

10th May 2010 · 7 Comments

Today is my birthday

So, I thought it fitting that I post some photos featuring myself & Evelyne taken recently by the amazingly talented and lovely Emma Case.

Working as photographers, we get to meet, and often befriend, some of the best photographers in the industry, and Emma is one of them. She’s making a real name for herself as a wedding and portrait photographer in Birmingham (and beyond) and was kind enough to do a shoot for us in London a few weeks ago.

We love the results and Emma was good enough to let me post the results here. Check out Emma’s website for more cool pics…
The Black Country Living Museum with the Family

22nd March 2010 · 4 Comments

This week, on my day off, the spring weather seemed to arrive and we decided to take the kids out to the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley.

It’s only 15 minutes from where we live but we’d never been before. It’s a great place too. Loads to do and see. And amazing fish & chips!

We’ll be back…

Elliott wasn’t quite tall enough…

..so I HAD to go on too

Old skool!

LOVE these 3 images. Elliott’s getting so expressive

LOVE this pic of Evelyne

That lollipop made quite a mess eh?!
A Brand New Baby Gerrard

25th February 2010 · 7 Comments

He/she may look like an alien life form at the moment but here’s the latest addition to the Gerrard family.

We won’t get to meet the baby til the end of August but, after today’s scan, I can assure you that, all being well, there will be plenty more photos of this little person on the blog in the future…

Only 8cm long but everything seems to be in the right place
Isaac is 1

17th February 2010 · 4 Comments

A year ago today we met a little boy and we named him Isaac.

Elliott had a little brother and we had another gorgeous son. He’s such a happy little kid and we’re so happy to have him as part of our little family.

Happy Birthday Isaac. We love ya

“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…”

Isaac liked his new present so much he wanted to eat it!

Elliott enjoyed Isaac’s birthday just as much, if not more! He opened Isaac’s presents, blew out the candle on his cake and learned the lyrics to “Happy Birthday” but, most importantly, wore the coolest t-shirt!
