WHAT A WEEK!

This last week has been a truly amazing experience for me and a group of other Brissie photographers. All because of the kindness and generosity of Ainslie [of Wild Spirit Photography] I was given the opportunity to share in a week of location shoots and post processing tutorials with one of my favourite photographers, Andrea Joki, all the way from Finland :)

On Monday, we visited Wellington Pt. Beach for an afternoon / sunset shoot...

On Wednesday, we ventured into a patch of Rainforest then were wowed by a post-processing demonstration by Andrea...

Then on Friday, we shot at a gorgeous rural property close to Ormeau [ thanks to Judy and Noel ] and finished up with a good-old-ozzie barbie here at our place. It was a day I had been anticipating and it was all I hoped it would be AND more :) Thanks Ainslie and Andrea for everything.

This arvo we are heading down the coast for our last shoot... lets hope the rain holds off :)

Keep checking back this week as I am about to announce a promotion as a kind of 'pay it forward'...

Holy Cute!

Meet Master C.

Is he not the cutest little thing you have ever seen???!

He is very special to me - he had a rocky start to life to say the least, but he's nearly 3 now and couldn't possibly be more perfect. He is soooooooo loved!

The aim of this mini session was to get a killer shot of him and his baby-blues to have printed on a BIG canvas for the studio.... I think I got it ;)

Here are my favourite 3... which one would you pick???

the studio is NEARLY finished!

I have been most slack with updating the blog lately, but with good reason ;)

We have been very, very busy getting the studio finished - and apart from some paving outside the entry and some interior decorating, IT IS FINISHED!!!!!! I will be having the big launch in early November allowing it to warm up and giving me time for final details.

I am ridiculously excited... the light in there is MAGICALLY YUMMY and it is all I hoped it would be :) I am married to the most gorgeous, generous most beautiful husband and I owe him big time for this one!

So early in the week, I took my two favourite little people in there for the first 'studio' shoot! They are a photographer's dream in front of the camera.... far from shy, and most willing to take direction. Chloe's favourite show at the moment is 'America's Next Top Model' - a little scary, but quite funny ;) and during the session, she would say "Does this look like a model?" and promptly strike a pose or her famous pout. I feel like the luckiest person in the world sometimes and am seriously greatful for all of the blessings in my life.

Anyway, enough happy babble... here are some of my favourites from the shoot.
