About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

January 18, 2011 // Children / Personal

 

Re-organising the morning route. Re-organising the afternoon route. Labelling stationery. Labelling clothing. Labelling more stationery. Loosing labelled shorts.

Then, diarising 25 extra-mural activities. Wrapping books. Doing homework.

It has only been one week, with Oliver in "big" school and I am exhausted.....send wine ;-)

Just one for now, of the lad himself.

Hehe you have my sympathy, I was moaning about the same thing this week... we've already had a project to do, and Bradley's only in Grade 2!

So today I had a total panic attack about how far behind I am on the editing side of things. So I made a promise to myself that I would buckle down and not get distracted on the internet.

15 minutes have passed and what do you know here I am, Hello there !! {insert, happy wave}

Pretty much a pointless post - I'm editing a wedding right now, and I got a kick out of this image.

So here you go, love this image the little page boy, walking out of the ceremony. He clearly had enough.

It was mullet masacre yesterday. I took the boys in for their first haircut.  :-(

The last mullet post.

A sneaky back-dated post...

 

I thought I was going to get off scot-free by not posting the boys' birthday bash on the blog, but, then one very clever bugger asked why the party wasn't here.

 

Apologies, dear blog readers, as I do realise you're not that engrossed with the antics of their birthday shindig.

 

In any case, it was a safari in the Serengeti for Jake and, of course, for Liam, a repeat of last years theme, cars.

 

Two fire engines and an ambulance arrived at the venue, treating the boys and their guests to rides around the neighbourhood.

 

There you are boys, posted and done.

I know first hand, as a photographer, that there are thousands of images of those people around us captured by the flicker of the lens, but none, or very, very few, actually includes us within the frame.

 

This year, I received an amazing gift (twice), which was, incredibly, a shoot with my children and I.

 

When Joretha (a wedding photographer herself) contacted me earlier this year, to photograph her family, I knew it was due time to pay this gift forward.

 

Here you are, Joretha, a few of my favourites:
