My Beautiful Cousin {Bec}January 7th, 2011Over Christmas we had family at our house, there is always lots of noise, plenty of food and way too many girls (or so my Dad and Husband would say, because they were outnumbered 9 to 2). While all my sisters and gorgeous cousin were here I managed to talk Bec into having some photos [...] |
Over Christmas we had family at our house, there is always lots of noise, plenty of food and way too many girls (or so my Dad and Husband would say, because they were outnumbered 9 to 2). While all my sisters and gorgeous cousin were here I managed to talk Bec into having some photos done, she has recently got herself a DSLR and wanted to learn a bit more about it, she was going to take photos of me aswell, since I need a new one for my ‘about me’ page (coming soon!), but getting into a bathroom around here to do my hair turned into a bigger task than I thought (again, 9 GIRLS!). I had a little trouble picking a favourite so im afraid this is a big post 
Leave some love if you visit 
I love to hear from you!

Kloe & AbbeyDecember 23rd, 2010My children are what got me into photography, I have always taken LOTS of photos of them and we had a long period there where they would run from me if I had the camera in my hand.

My children are what got me into photography, I have always taken LOTS of photos of them and we had a long period there where they would run from me if I had the camera in my hand. Sometimes experimenting or working on a new technique requires models and when you have three children they are often called upon to ‘assist’, there has been many lollipop’s passed over as bribery for just ‘one more shot’
But this time was different, Kloe actually didn’t mind me taking these photos (as much), so here she is with her BFF, Abbey, all dressed up and ready for their Year 7 ball. I have no words… they are such beauties!

Working on your craft {inspired}December 2nd, 2010It so important to take a step back sometimes and assess what your doing, go back to basics and be willing to learn new techniques. Sometimes its hard to find the time to work on what you truly love doing, but when you do its so worth it! |

I was lucky enough to attend a photography workshop held recently here in Echuca by Creative photo workshops, these guys are awesome at what they do and were kind enough to impart some of their wisdom on a small group of local photographers… and here are some of my results from the day.
Thank-you to the lovely models for the day, Cass is a photographer also so was awesome in front of the camera too, and we had two awesome (and handsome of course!) grooms for the day, thanks guys!

The bridge to home {and blossoms}August 12th, 2010I was sick last week, the dreaded winter flu got me.

I was sick last week, the dreaded winter flu got me. Fortunately I got on to it early and started taking some vitamins which really took the sting out of it, feeling very blessed that while those around me have been suffering for 2 and 3 weeks with it, I managed to shake it in 5 days! So what’s a girl to do when she is unwell? Go home to mums, of course. Here are a couple of photos I took while I was in Albury.
Taken around the Hume Weir Bridge, it has been years since I have been out there, and with the recent rains the Weir didn’t look to bad.
These were taken on the side of the Highway on the way home, I spotted this stunning blossom tree and had to pull over!
I have some lovely weddings coming up that I am photographing, and I cant wait for wedding season to be in full swing and see some of these beautiful brides!

Friday Picnics {winter sunshine}July 11th, 2010Winter is such a pretty time of the year, yes, cold as it is… |
Winter is such a pretty time of the year, yes, cold as it is…
The girls and I went for a picnic on Friday, we had some lovely late sunshine and we had baked cupcakes. We took my Nannas blanket and found a nice spot to enjoy the sun… we also had some fun with Bubbles, ribbon sticks and confetti. I wish my girls could have known Nanna, had the opportunity to make pancakes with her on the weekends, gone mushrooming or read a book, she truly was a gem So I got a photo of them wrapped in Nans blanket, wrapped in love…
Hope you have been lucky enough to have some sunshine

A girls weekend {no boys allowed}June 16th, 2010well, OK maybe one! Poor Dad :p he was well and truly surrounded by girls last weekend. There was Mum, me, my 3 little sisters AND my three little girls, 8 against 1! |
well, OK maybe one! Poor Dad :p he was well and truly surrounded by girls last weekend. There was Mum, me, my 3 little sisters AND my three little girls, 8 against 1!
We had a great catch up weekend, and decided to go to Beechworth for the afternoon, I haven’t been there for years.. we wandered the main st, looking in shops, visited the famed Beechworth Bakery and had caulioccoli pies (cauliflower & broccoli in cheese sauce) and the kids HAD to go to the lolly shop, which was crazy busy but they spent at least 1/2 hour in there deciding what to spend their money on. I, of course, had the camera but was enjoying the day so much I forgot to take too many photos, but here are a couple…. Beechworth is beautiful, I would LOVE to shoot a wedding there!
Mum in her new hat
Winter is upon us, it has been bitterly cold here but keep an eye out for the next blog post it has plenty of sunshine and a little vintage flare.

I sometimes wonder why I live where I live?! I LOVE the beach and try to get there at least once a year, we usually head down to Lakes Entrance or Apollo Bay each year but this year we went to Moruya (south coast NSW) for Easter to catch up with my nephews and enjoy some rest and relaxation by the beach.
I really wanted to get some surf photos while there, so here are a couple from the trip… I dont think I could stand up on a board if my life depended on it haha, but these guys were pretty awesome!
Back to normal programming soon.. more weddings coming up

Echuca Port – Echuca PhotographyJanuary 31st, 2010I went for a walk around the Echuca Port this afternoon, sometimes you forget why all the tourist come here when you live here.

I went for a walk around the Echuca Port this afternoon, sometimes you forget why all the tourist come here when you live here. We don’t often go to the port, mostly when we have visitors, so it was nice to wander around there on a late Sunday afternoon, not too many people around, opportunity to take some photos! I must remember how nice it is down there on Sunday afternoons
More photos from this trip to come!
