More kids means more smiles!
You’re never short of a smile (or a shot) when there are six kids running around their backyard!
Misses Molly & Maggie
I love Molly’s outlook on life: it doesn’t matter what color icy pole you get given, you make it work! Wise words from a very astute 4 year old (high five to amazing parents). These were taken a little while ago but as they were a gift they couldn’t appear online earlier – am sure…
EcoEatz – more small changes to save the world
Continuing my skirmish against single use plastics (how I describe my small effort in the larger war on waste movement) I’m ditching plastic straws. Single use plastics have a super short lifespan relative to the hundreds of years they take to breakdown in landfill and the damage they do to ocean eco systems. Every plastic…
Print those digital photos! (but where?)
I’m going to extend this year’s “exist in photographs” goal to include printing some of those photos so Riley and I headed out to compare photo printing using the ahem, ‘more affordable’options. There is nothing worse than paying good money for beautiful images and then leaving them on the USB in the bottom of a drawer…
Much sand, not much sun…
Izzy didn’t have much luck catching seagulls at this beach side family portrait session but we did catch a lot of smiles 🙂
Noodle – the strangest looking puppy in the world!
I love puppies and I love a challenge. Noodle is not your average fluffy puppy and seriously does not stay still. When her mum asks you to capture her good side, well, you do your best!
Losing weight is a sh!t new year’s resolution
With every intent to offend your sensibilities – please tell me you didn’t set the generic ‘to lose weight’ new year’s resolution? Losing weight is a sh!t goal. Strong is the new black. Fit and healthy are worthy ambitions but losing weight for weight loss sake is craptastic. Why do you want to lose weight?…
Like rain on your wedding day…
An intimate wedding… in the recent torrential rain. Although the ceremony was moved indoors, the rain stopped long enough to get some bridal party portraits in the original park location. Thank you for involving me in your amazing day.
On the success of others…
Do you have a few of those things that you’ve hated yourself for doing all your life and have wanted to change or maybe accept? As I reflect on my 40th birthday tomorrow (yup, 40 with a toddler – that was always my white picket fence dream… erm not…) As I reflect (oh – but…
Engineer Emma
The sweetest family with the cute as a button Emma who is obviously going to be an aerospace engineer with her love of construction, electronics (eating fairy lights count right?), reading and flying 🙂
Backyard Adventures
Gorgeous sunshine to shoot this gorgeous family. Clever mummy and daddy had a heap of activities ready to go for loads of fun and heaps of great photos!
(not) Labelling gender challenge
So I challenge you to replace the words girl and boy in your vocabulary for a day with kid, or child or a gender neutral equivalent. For extra bonus points, listen for it in others and either a) rephrase in your head or b) have a discussion on the impact it may have. (And why…
