Personal Photos

These are some of the personal posts I’ve written. It’s a mixed bag from 365 projects (which didn’t last) to whatever is on my mind.

Today I decided that I’d had enough of the house and needed to get out and be among the people, lots of people.  So I bustled the kids into the car with a few hats, sunblock, and snacks thrown in after them, and sped towards the Devonport ferry (obeying all speed limits of course).  Once [...]

How to take great photos of kids   Make your invitations personal Every year, for both kids I've shot a photo for their birthday invitations.  It's one of my favourite things as I get to choose a photo that reflects their personality at that age.  This year was no different, except that we've decided there [...]

Yesterday we found out that the house we’re renting sold at auction.  What’s more it sold for an unbelievable price, which was far out of our reach. We moved here at the start of the year to be close to Mr6′s school, Bron’s parents (who live in the same street), and because we love the [...]

Just had to share this image from this morning; both kids happily painting away on a Sunday morning. The peace and quiet in the house was deafening!  Both kids painted a card for their Great Nana who turns 80 on Tuesday. Pin It

Photography blogs can be a pain in the arse

by May 24, 2011

I hate this blog.  There I said it.. I hate how it always calls my name after a shoot, how it wants more and more posts, or how it is so easy to customise to my liking.  I hate that I don’t understand how to code in wordpress/css/html/thingy3.4, and I hate that I have to [...]
