The secret to happiness

The secret to happiness.

Charlotte radiated warmth and a very big heart, I liked her instantly the first time we met. Spending time with her and her children got my thinking about the secret to happiness - what is that?

The mission with our photo shot was to celebrate a new beginning in this family’s life. Charlotte is a remarkable woman, spending time with her and her children  I felt proud to be a woman and a mother, because I saw what an amazing thing that is. All her children have different traits and personalities. Giles is very much the big brother protecting and looking out for every one, Oscar is the theatrical one who loves vibrant colours, Isabelle is as caring and sociable as her mother, but they all radiate a certain kind of confidence, the one that comes from knowing that they are loved unconditionally.

I think the secret to happiness is to start from within, you need to love and look after yourself and your life to be able to give to others. You need to be kind to yourself and focus on qualities that you love about yourself rather than beat yourself up about what you lack. You need to love and respect yourself and by doing so you will attract people who show you love and respect.  I feel that Charlotte proves the case, as she lives in happiness, her children love and respect her and through her they learn how to create their own happiness.

And for “Harry the dog” I don’t know if he radiates happiness, but he is truly a force of love to be reckoned with.
