Nice to meet you

My first name is french and so am I. It is pronounced O-re-lee. It comes from Latin meaning "golden one"

 

The story behind Little Toad Photography is not unusual these days.  In July 2009, when the handsome fella you see below was still a little baby, I decided to try something new.  I took a basic course in DSLR photography and found to my surprise that it came easily to me.  This gave way to my new addiction.  Over the next two years I trained, practised, researched and studied in my spare time.  It all revolved around my son.  Meanwhile, his beautiful little sister was growing in my belly.  

 

When I felt that I had mastered enough techniques and developed my style, I took a scary and thrilling step into the world as a small (tiny) business.
