(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…

Skating in three dimensions…
Decided my skating whilst baby wearing skills are not skate park ready so grabbed the camera on my way out the door – its like a magic pass that lets you stay in the action without wearing wheels. Challenges included the weather fluctuating from bright sun to overcast; me walking up a ramp then having…

Lovable Lex
This little guy shares the best smiles – when the camera is away! He made the cutest elf, loves star wars and was working so hard that he had to take a mid shoot plus end shoot drinks break!

Winning and losing doesn’t rely on the score…
I’ve had the most epic of epic weekends and have the bruises to prove it! I’ve also learnt a lot. And also epically, it fits under all of my blog categories: photography, roller derby, parenting… I reckon I can squeeze in a gender stereotype reference and we’re all covered!

In the dance studio…
Its both easier and harder to photograph someone you know. You know what makes them tick so you can get the emotions required more easily, there is an instant connection and they are comfortable around you yet… sometimes too comfortable! On this personal branding shoot with my sister (for her dance school: Simply Dance) I…

Do you have the boy toy?
I uttered ‘arsehole’ under my breath today at McDonalds… (yep – the usual ban on most of McDonald’s fare is lifted on McHappy Day – if you purchase a Big Mac that is – although next year I think I’ll just donate or buy the socks.. How people eat that white confectionery bread and sugar…

Babywearing for the win…
As its International Baby Wearing Week I thought I should sing the praises of baby wearing… The theme for International Babywearing Week’s ninth annual celebration is Threaded Together. The inspiration for the theme comes from the many different threads that when combined through the weaving process form all of the carriers we use. All of these…
