picking apples

YES!! I know I am completely slack and haven't posted for a while so here goes:

Had a lovely weekend on my friends' Clea and Leo's farm near Cooma. It has an apple orchard on it and Henry and Nicholas and Dimitri had a lovely time running riot...They certainly slept well Saturday night!!

Took some shots of Leo and the boys for my Fathers + Sons, Fathers Exhibition which opens in September ( more of that later!) Love the feeling of the images and the shots of the 3 of them is very true to nature.

....and the apples are beautiful..all organic and sooooo tasty!

new website is LIVE!!!!!!!

YAY!! Yippee...my new website is live and I LOVE it!!! I have a couple of things to tweak this week but I am so very happy with how it looks and I have had some wonderfully positive feedback from friends and colleagues about it..

Mercury from www.megagraphics.com.au reckons I should have more of my own work on it, and he's right! Got to go and find some of my award prints and find somewhere to stick 'em!

Thanks Mercury!

So I must say a HUGE thanks to David and co at maadcommunications.com.au who are part of the zoogroup.com.au in Canberra for doing such a great job...

Hope you like it as much as I do and if there is any constructive critisicms then I'm very open to hear them...

Luv and peace to the world!!! :)

Went to photograph wee Christopher Jackson, mum is Danielle and dad is Michael...They had an amazing golden delicious apple tree in their backyard and the light was amazing!

He was such a sweetie, must be all the apples! there were hundreds and hundreds of them everywhere...I've never seen anything like it!

shelly & mitchell @ markdale

Had a lovely day at Markdale.com.au photographing Shelly and Mitchell's wedding ....an amazing place and sooo good to be in the country. Captured some great shots of the day and Shelly & Mitchell's bridal party were heaps of fun as you can see.

It certainly looked like they were going to have a ball at the reception!! I have never heard a crowd cheer soo loud as when the newly weds walked into the marquee...deafening!

Have fun overseas, you two!

Been meaning to do this for ages!!!!

Well, I went to Sydney with a few other photogs and we saw Marcus Bell at Darling Harbour...saw some lovely images of his (www.studioimpressions.com.au)... Always have my wonderful IXUS in my bag to take a few snaps and got a couple of crackers, whilst talking on the phone at the same time....multi-tasking is great!

New website is still coming...hopefully be live VERY soon!! Cannot wait as I haven't had a proper one since NYE 2007!!! JEEZ!!! Anyway, hope you like them...and I have added a few from some recent shoots I have done....all very gorgeous! :) Happy Easter!!!
