Siblings Photo Series – Evening walks

Siblings. Sisters. Sisterlings. Hmm I may have been on my third G&T of the night when I came up with the title for this post -cum-maybe-series but I’ve decided to stick with it. Sisterlings makes me smile! But for the sake of longevity and not having to groan inwardly at myself week after week when I look a the name of this photo series, let’s stick to Siblings! Also, this way, if I end up lucky enough to have more babies and they’re not female, the title still works!

I thought it would be nice to capture the special moments and the every day moments between the girls. I remember growing up, a lot of my childhood was spent fighting like cats and dogs with my little brother. I know though, that we also had each other’s back and played nicely from time to time, mostly because there is photographic evidence alluding to it! My two are the same. Sometimes they dote on each other, other times you need at least one flight of stairs between them. Hopefully, when they’re older, or whenever they need reminding, they’ll be able to look at these photos and see love, camaraderie and family.

Princess and Bob have a nine year age gap. They obviously aren’t interested in the same games or toys. They more often than not are in separate zones, but there are times when they are each other’s most favourite people in the whole world. Or at the very least, they like each other long enough to want to spend some time with each other.

Bob woke up from the longest nap in ages. It was a Saturday and I’d spent most of the day stuck underneath her sleeping body. Princess had also spent most of the day in and out of sleep; the aftermath of a successful slumber party at her friend’s house. Weirdly, the first thing Bob asked for when she woke up was to go for a walk. Seeing as the puppy was in need of a walk anyway, I obliged.
