Welcoming my second child to the world

I'm not always a fan of crossing my personal life with my business one, but sometimes huge milestones happen and they're too important to keep quiet. This week we welcomed the first girl born into our family for decades, Poppy Joan Roberta Hider was born on May 4th at 9:58am. We are in love and everyone is doing great!baby personal life I am taking off the rest of the week, and will be limiting my email access for a couple of weeks. I'll be back to work on May 10, and looking forward to booking out more photography work with everyone soon.
