Lucky me

I have been lucky enough to photograph the most gorgeous twin babies recently. Thanks so much to Susie & Peter and big sister Ava for letting me photograph Olivia and Holly. 

Such sweet little bundles. And having 2 at once simply amazes me. Susie, managing 3 beautiful girls with such a positive focus, you deserve a medal! 

Lazy Sunday at the beach

We spent the most of Sunday evening at the beach with the kids. It was glorious. The water was a little cool but once I finally had the guts to get it - it was divine. So refreshing and uplifting. 

The kids, as usual, had a ball. So gorgeous. Little Ollie is his Quicksilver dacks - just loves it. He has no fear. Ben set up a sand castle city, with which the kids had great delight in smashing very quickly! 

A lovely finish to the weekend. : )

Little diary

I just love my new diary from Kikki -K, soooo cute! However it doesn't fit in my filofax! So to overcome this I made a cover. I really prefer to carry a diary that has pockets for all my little tid bits I have. You never know when you'll need a sticker or pen! 

So here is the result.

Love it. And now I have made a handbag to match - well I just love the fabric and can't decide what style skirt or dress to make with it. I will use it all up with my crafty items before it has a chance to get in my wardrobe in the form of a piece of clothing! 

How it all began

It's funny when you look back to see what inspired the beginning of a new venture. For me it was the purchase of an SLR when my camera got stolen while in the UK. I was always a creative person but never really got into this medium but really did appreciate other peoples work.

Then after several years of mucking around (and spending a tonne of $$ on films, developing and processing) I took some photos of a family group (friends of others). They then asked me to photograph their daughters wedding. 

I really couldn't believe they would trust that I would do a good job. But I have to say that it was and still is one of my favourite weddings and I loved every minute of it. I didn't get stressed out (this is an unknown until you are there!) instead thrived on it. So thank you Heather Jones for putting your faith into me, but also to Lauren and Marty who were my guinea pigs - thank you for allowing me to fulfill a desire and a dream. 

I love photographing weddings, people, children, babies, and the odd pet I can get my hands on! 

One day I'll have my own Westie that will be photographed endlessly - much like my children!
