I jumped at the opportunity to photograph Rebecca from Little Spunky Monkey at Mathilda’s Market, which was held at Loreto College on Saturday, March 6th. Not only does Rebecca inspire me both as a mummy and a creative lady in business, but I knew that I would be surrounded by wares of the adorable, nifty and sweet kind. I was right. As for the market itself, it was a huge success! Prams, feet and dollar bills were flying about everywhere, haha, to the soundtrack of laughing and screaming kids, but it was a lot of fun. And while it was crazy, my mission was not to get in the way of a transaction while I was photographing! As far as I am aware, Rebecca is still recovering from the event! I’ll be doing up my son’s new room soon and I can’t wait to put in my custom orders for some of the gorgeous things that LSM provides. Thank you so much O Clever Creator Of Little Spunky Monkey, and I hope you enjoy the captures from the big day. xoxo

There is so much love between Adrian and Leanne that I reckon it caused my camera to glow. They are (without a doubt) one of the cutest couples that I know, and are just so incredibly suited to each other. They’re always in their own little world together–it’s such a joy to see. As expected, they were loads of fun during the pre-wedding shoot, constantly giggling at each other, and constantly making me laugh too… They have asked me to shoot their wedding in April and it’s an enormous honour because I love these guys so very much! They don’t know this, but there was a moment during the shoot when they were being so sweet with each other that it took me right back to the days my hubby and I were first dating. I think I even welled up! So very cute. Enough about me! When I look at the photos I took of them, it is so obvious how into each other they are, and that is what I had hoped to capture. Love. And being in it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, A & L. xoxo

As I look back on all the images from this session (and this blog post only contains a teeny sampling), it was hard to believe that it was all within 2 hours in the same afternoon, at the same location. The changing light, scenery, facial expressions, poses, props and not to mention outifts, all made it seem like this session happened over weeks. This shoot was a bit of an experiment, borderlining a fashion shoot, and Angie was such a good sport as she let me try a few new things. I don’t think I need to mention that she’s a beautiful girl (but I will say it anyway!) and during my editing, I found myself being truly mesmerised by some of her expressions. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Angie. (And a special thanks to my sister for the outfits!)

Helena’s family shoot was going to be a special event for a few reasons. Firstly, she has twins! And not just any twins–Evelyn and Louise are double-cute and I was double-excited to be photographing twins for the first time. Helena also happens to be a very clever and crafty girl and I find her very inspiring. She made my son’s Christening gown, which turned out beautifully, might I add. The session was on Valentines day and there was certainly a lot of love in the room! Spending Valentines Day with family is always going to be a good thing, even if it’s not my family (teehee). I was given such special treatment during the hours I spent with them, and I almost forgot I was there as a photographer. Scones were baking in the oven, and there I was at the table having a scone with Helena’s family. How fabulous is that? It was such a gleeful session. During the drive home, I couldn’t stop smiling, cause sure, photography brings me joy, but this was a different kind of joy–there are extra layers involved. I never expected to experience this on the job. Just amazing. Thank you Helena. xoxo
(PS – bear with me on this Friday night – I will be uploading more images over the next few hours)
I wasn’t kidding about the scones…!

Believe it or not, today’s shoot was probably the shortest one in (my) history! Amazingly, I saw so many personalities in her images during this time. (And that’s not a reference to MPD either!) Beautiful girl, resembling a gorgeous gypsy queen at times (don’t you think?), and not that she realises this, but she made my job unbelievably easy today. Thank you Adele!

My son helped me out this morning, making cupcakes for my auntie’s birthday. I took the plunge and put everything onto his little table, rather than up and away on the bench (like I usually do). The mess was surprisingly fun. My little boy did his own thing half the time…

Stumbled upon this primary school on my way to doing the grocery shopping. I was not expecting the most gorgeous display of sunflowers that I have ever seen. Or a vegetable patch in their front courtyard. And a rusty iron bed among it all. Absolutely splendid. ALL primary schools should look like this. Bless the people who run the school and the kids who go there. So very lovely.

So what’s a lego tower without a hen in it? :)
