too busy!!!!

With Christmas looming and a million other things on the go, I've had no time for photos at all!!

Just so there's something new in here... my darling boy, quietly watching his favourite show in the world, Top Gear. He's been a fan since he was 12 months old, I am not joking! Fixated, obsessed, enamoured and able to recite in detail just about every episode ever made.. He re-creates scenes from the show with his hotwheels, speaks in "jeremy" talk, and when you play Top Gear with him, he's NEVER Captain Slow - someone else is always lumped with playing James lol.



Thank goodness I'm a huge fan too, or I'd have gone around the bend. While yes, we watch fairly regularly (we've got ALL the DVDs.......), it's certainly not been to his detriment. Today he told us the sailing boat we drove past had a very big mast, just like the one James had when the carboats blah blah blah blah etc blah etc... not many three year olds can regale you with how a mast works and why it's important to sail a boat across the English Channel. What a kid!

Have a wonderful Christmas, may laughter and love fill your home!

busy busy

so much to do with christmas on the way, work still steaming ahead, and trying to squish a bit of living into the mix as well!

my little elf was happy to do some daggy dancing on the beach on the weekend:




And I managed to get out for a sunrise as well:






Hoping for a moonrise shoot next week if the weather behaves! In the meantime, all print orders need to be finalised asap to ensure xmas delivery, so send me an email or give me a call to confirm.

Enjoy!!! x

living dolls

These two sweethearts made my day! It's so wonderful when I get the chance to photograph girls... they're so... so... girly lol!! I love my son, but I really do enjoy all the giggles and fun of girls! Thank you so much Karina and Michael for sharing your darling family with me. x

Time to get up and get out there!

Haven't really surfaced early enough for sunrise shots since busting the moves with Ken D a month ago... on Saturday I threw off the doona, and braved the chill...

Turning point

Meeting and spending four days with Ken Duncan was one of those moments in life you know you'll never forget and one you know might have changed you just a little bit...

I can't say enough about the man - his photography, his family, his beliefs, his determination and his amazing talent. I was in awe of him and yet felt like a best mate. His generosity of time and spirit was beyond any expectation.

Did I learn anything..? You betcha! I've got hundreds of photos to work through but I've pulled a few out to share. Hope you like them, it was an amazing experience just to shoot these!

big steps

In a few days, I get to pack a bag (a camera bag lol) and go spend four days with Ken Duncan, international photographer (www.kenduncan.com) at a photography workshop. Seriously cool for a nerd like me.

On the upside, this is an adventure I never dreamed I'd get the chance to experience, but here it finally is... just days away.

On the downside, it's the first time ever I'll be away from my baby boy for more than about eight hours lol. And the thought of it is sickening... it's killing my Ken Buzz, big time. The crazy part is... because Ken D is a local, the whole event is being held at Crown Plaza Terrigal which is literally three minutes from home, so I'll be stressing to the eyeballs while Josh is just up the road with his dad.

Granted he'll probably cope a lot better than I'm going to (well, fingers crossed) but honestly, if I make it through the workshop without having a motherly panic attack AND actually learn some fabulous new skills from this great artist, it will be a miracle!

Wish me luck!!!

Here's a picture I took back in June... can't wait to come back and post some from the Ken experience!



And here's what I'll be missing...

treasured

Today I met Sabastian. He's divine, he's soft, he has that wonderful baby smell... and he was supposed to be born today... But this little trooper joined the world at 27 weeks, and this weekend is when his fabulous parents should have been welcoming him to the world, but Sabastian couldn't wait and he arrived three months early.

He's gorgeous, and he also ruined my visions of a premmie baby that was sleepy and easy to work with lol, this guy is full of will - he will be going place when he gets a little older, the strength it has taken to get this far is testiment to that!

Thank you Alison and Joshua for having me in your home, you are a beautiful family.
