Little Super Hero's.......

Super Hero {supa-hear-o}: a fictional character of extraordinary or super human powers, dedicated to protecting the public.

It is with lots of excitement that I'm finally launching my Fine Art Collections! I am now able to offer the most gorgeous and luxurious session albums, acrylic wall mounts, gallery wrap canvases and standout prints, as well as the normal a la carte prints on lustre, high gloss, metallic and textured papers. All are presented in the most gorgeous eco friendly, recycled packaging! Yep, I'm going green!


So to launch my Sweet Stuff, Whimsical and Little Super Hero Collections, here's some of our little super hero's complete with the most amazing cape from Little Hero Designs!

A big thank you to our little Super Hero's, Master A and Master R for being totally fabulous! Aren't they cute?

My...my.....my

Delilah! With her hand painted purple interior and fluffy roof lining, Miss Delilah earnt her name by being 'a car of ill repute'! Isn't she gorgeous tho? {and the kids aren't too bad either}!!!

A big thank you to the amazing Fennel family for loaning me car+kids+time for my student Kiera's practice shoot. Kiera is doing amazingly well, she's just sweet sweet 16 and is now turning out the most creative and inspiring photographs...we're all so proud of her. Kiera has been with me for 2 days a week for the past 5 weeks. We only have a couple of weeks left then she is off to start a new life in beauty-full Tassie! I have no doubt she will be an awesom photographer down there, in whatever field she chooses!

Last image by Kiera, I love it so much! Clever girl x

A 'Day' {with} and without.......

'Mother's Day' has always been a little bittersweet for me
I lost my Mum when I was young
I was a teen......we had our battles.....
We had our moments of gratefulness and appreciation
She was a strong woman
She was creative
She was intelligent
She was spiritual and soulful
She did 'naked yoga' in the back garden every day {no, I'm really not kidding}
She didn't believe in chemicals
Or anything artificial for that matter
Lollies were banned!!!!
She was a member of Greenpeace
She wore a Sari
She milked the goats daily then walked them, on a leash to the local Supermarket where she'd pick up our daily groceries
She rode her 1940's bicycle everywhere, my Dad had a sign writer write on it 'Lynda's Black Bess'
She wasn't perfect {she knew this}
She truly was a remarkable and unique woman.........

We miss her........

So whilst today I am without my Mum, I can celebrate being a Mum. I can celebrate that;

I went to sleep last night with Oliver curled up next to me and Aaron wrapped up in his doona on the floor beside my bed, whilst we watched Pirates of the Caribeen
That my boys constantly tell me how much they love me, and demand hugs (and they usually don't even want something)
They value my opinion
They really believe that I am right (ha)!

Now all I have to get them to do is to behave for the rest of the day.... and I'll feel much better, as today of all days they have decided to hate each other, and in the process upset me :( Family life I guess.........

Bring on...........the boys!

Gorgeous gorgeous boys too! But then look at Mum and Dad..... totally beauty-full people! A very Happy Birthday (a little belated) to Master F - he turned 2 last week, yep, just a few days before little Miss Poppy featured in her birthday post! With all that red hair and sparkling blue eyes, they could almost be brother and sister!

Then there's little Master X, buckets of fun, cheeky and again that sparkle in his eyes. Yep Mum & Dad are very lucky! And of course, after loading them up on sugar and taking a few pics, Nicole and I left Mum and Dad to it! Haha {we're not silly} xxxxxxx

Bring on the girls.........

Wow! We're only at Tuesday and it's been a week of girls! Absolutely stunning, gorgeous girls I might like to add! More to add later when I..........photograph the boys!!!!!

Happy Birthday..........

Easter Recipe.......

4am starts

1am finishes

An incy bit of 'stress'

Double doses of irritability

A pinch of excitement

A dash of nerves

Copious amounts of inspiration..........

{a little alcohol}

Yes this is the recipe to my life at the moment.........but I'm assured it will "all be worth it"............so watch this space for my new look website and branding.......... fresh, fun and funky, bright and colourful.

Some quick pics of what we've been up too, as well as the all of the above, we've also been busy shooting! And we've had a lotta fun while we've been doing it :) Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!! {more to come, this is just a sneak peek}

Together.......

at last! Yep I've been photographing little Arla since she was first born, and her cheeky big brother has come along a couple of times too, but I've never been able to get all of the family together.....until a few weeks ago :) Jo and Chris get married on May 2nd, so we decided to head down to the beach and grab a few shots before the big day. They truly are one gorgeous family ;) Love you all babes xxxx

Light.....

I 'see' light everywhere.........
It makes my soul glow.........
I adore all 'kinds' of light.........
To me 'light' is everything........
