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!
Raw but still good…
I’m very much a believer in imperfect is just perfect. An image that captures emotion, personality, relationships has much more going for it than the forced smile shot, even if it has better lighting or a prettier backdrop. Raw can be powerful. I’ve a couple of raw images I adore because they allow me to…
International Baby Wearing Week
With a mix of experienced and new baby wearers sharing knowledge and conversation, local babywearing businesses and a kinda swap meet for carriers, this was a great event, hosted by the South Eastern Baby Wearing Group, celebrating International Baby Wearing Week and its theme: “Threaded Together”
What not to buy for your new baby
I have a theory that people go back for more kids to average out the cost per child. 😛 There is also a lot of marketing out there that’s sole purpose is to make you feel guilty if you’ve not purchased the best (read: expensive) and many, many items for your darling new arrival and it’s…
Henry’s First Birthday
The birthday boy was very astute when it came to the camera. Was a joy to be at such a great gathering with him surrounded by loving family and friends.
Jett’s Baptism and First Birthday
It was lovely to meet Jett’s extended family at his first birthday and baptism. Congrats to his supermom on doing all the things (work, study, mum, party planner extraordinaire)!
Huzzah – we kept her alive for a year!
Is that weird? That the first thing that comes to my mind is not ‘Happy First Birthday Baby’ but ‘Woot – we managed to keep you alive for a year!’ And is it worse that the second thing that comes to mind is that we are celebrating the anniversary of not sleeping through the night?…
Camera – tick, baby – tick!
When I’m packing for a photo shoot the night prior I do all the usual things – charge and change batteries, check equipment, double check the time and location, pack backups to my backups and then a few not so usual things like adding the baby carrier, filling the wow cup and throwing in the…
Hanging with Tate
This guy gave me some awesome cuddles 🙂
Existing in photographs
Existing in photographs – it’s a thing and it’s important. So many of us duck, dodge, dip and dive when a camera is pointed our way. Who wants to be immortalised when we’re not feeling our most beautiful? We’re not as young as we used to be.. We’re having a fat day, a bad hair…
My favorite image
What’s your favorite image of yourself and why? There’s more to it than how we look in the image. It’s all about what emotions it evokes. The feelings of joy, happiness, pride, empowerment that go with the picture, or the memories of the moment captured perhaps? We are engrossed by more than just the light…
Defining Beauty…
What makes you feel beautiful? For me it’s not always about how I look. Sometimes it’s about how others look at me. Or I feel beautiful when someone really takes the time to listen. It’s hard not to feel beautiful in a spectacular setting or gorgeous scenery. I can see beauty in others when they…
