I Got Soul But I'm Not A Solider

Thanks to The Killers and their track "All These Things That I Have Done"
I have finally broken that 3 kilometer mark in my running. I got an ipod for my birthday and listening to The Killers in helping me get further and further. I can't believe that I ran 3kms - without stopping - without dying....and I enjoyed it.

A few weeks back I thought I had done the 3km thing but sadly my calculations were off - this time I got it right and it was sooooo good. This song actually helped me to run faster even though I'd just run up a rather large hill and I still had another to go before reaching that 3k mark.

The line "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier" just really does it for me and my legs seem to pick them selves up and go faster.





This one by The Cold War Kids also gets me moving.



If anyone has any Indie Rock or Pop tunes they recommend please let me know. Listening to tunes stops any negative self talk that tries to beat me into becoming stationary.

Such A Joy

It really is such a joy and a pleasure to photograph children and families. To be afforded a little glimpse into their lives. To see the love and joy parents have for their children. To capture that and allow them to relive these moments really is something special.



Not to mention that it's fun.......




Thanks to this family and all the lovely families I get to meet and photograph - it really is a joy.....

Waiting for Amelia Mae

This is my sister - B - she's due to have baby number two in just a few weeks. From the title you might guess that it's a girl - it's go team girl in our family !!!

While this was a maternity shoot it also turned into a family shoot and perhaps even an Emma shoot - how classic are these next two?
She is doing a little dance for me here.......

She was definitely marching to the beat of her own drum on this afternoon....I like that though - just goes to show that you don't need everyone looking at the camera smiling to capture great family photos. We got lots of shot of them together but these with Emma just doing her own thing are my favs.....


This is Emma's teddy known as Bedted. She takes him everywhere. We have shots of Mary-Ella's Lamby and they are so precious so I couldn't miss the opportunity to catch a few shots of him too. Stay tuned for the Amelia Mae installment......

Me - Featured On Beyond!!

I'm really excited to announce that little ol' me is the featured photographer at Beyond Just Images. (Beyond is fantastic online forum for professional photographers from all over the world).

There is so many amazing photographers and it's a really wonderful community to belong to - so as you can imagine I am absolutely thrilled to be the featured photographer!

Familiar Faces

It's really fantastic to meet up with families again and see all the changes in their kiddos. When the newest addition to the family had just arrived we had a session down on the beach - you might recognise some of these faces from my website!!



This time we were celebrating the women of the family!
I just love this shot! Images with our grandparents are often the most treasured.

How gorgeous are her little tights? She was so charming - every passerby couldn't help but smile at her.......

Fav from last year

This track from The Panics was a fav of mine from last year and as we were driving yesterday I heard it on the radio and remembered how much I loved it. I'd always thought of it as a great summer track but yesterday was gray and wet and now it might be a rainy day song.

Beautiful Bond

Getting to meet this mother & daughter was such a pleasure.


They had such a great bond and I have to mention how fantastic they were in front of the camera. It was a real joy to spend time with them and such a pleasure capturing their connection.





It was fantastic spending time with you both. Enjoy your sneak peek!
