Babes in Cairns Event Being flown up to Cairns for the launch of the newest Babes Project centre…? Don’t mind if I do! I enjoy all the time I spend at the Babes – so many opportunities for cute photos of divine babies and adorable kids! I honestly look forward to every shoot with them. …
Here are pictures of Riley in pink looking and being Riley. And there are pictures of Riley not in pink looking and being Riley. They’re clothes, not a description of her preferences and personality. Their function is not dependent on her gender! We’re getting to the stage where things outside of our little family unit…
I was very excited to be invited to photograph for The Babes Project again. These guys not only do amazing work supporting soon to be mums, but are also so very welcoming of Riley when she comes packed with my cameras. The Rewriting Motherhood Forum was another stellar event providing inspiration, laughter and empowerment through…
When did I become that mum that would rather clean up her mess than stop her making it? When I follow her around the supermarket saying ‘Sorry’ and ‘Just go around’ versus wrestling her into the trolley? Where I end up buying the jar of sprinkles she’s been using as maracas during the entire shopping…
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! The Rebellion Melbourne roller derby tournament…
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…
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…
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”
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…
We’ve gone with cloth nappies. I just hate the idea of wrapping raw sewage in plastic and sticking it in landfill. Who actually reads the side of the pack and empties waste into the toilet first? But I also wanted to be realistic and didn’t want to overload the workload when Riley first arrived home….
There are two pieces of advice I would share with new mums that allowed me to survive (I was going to say cope, but lets be honest, it’s survive) and to regain some semblance of sanity after having a baby… The caveat: I’m no expert and do not know your personal circumstance – take any…
I haven’t trained for over a week and it feels crap. Yep – there are legitimate reasons to miss training and then there is the generic I can’t be stuffed. The whole parenting gig means I’m so sleep deprived my coffee needs a coffee…. and that I sometimes (read 99.98% of the time) do not…
