Trying to get Toby to stand still for this shot of gorgeous wall light coming through the nearby closed curtain - not very enthused!!!

This is a very impromptu photo of Toby, split second timing before he jumped off the beanbag saying "Nooooooo"!!!   This is what happens when you try to photograph your own family!!!

Project 52 "Black & White"

Black & White tells the viewer the story straight away without the distraction of colour. It can be classic or bold, moody and dramatic and can conjure an emotion to the story that's being told! 

It was Melbourne Cup Day.....

It was Melbourne Cup day, all were Cup bound but we ventured to the other side of town for me to photograph this gorgeous family.  Their Mum and Dad built a brilliant cubby for the littlies and spent a lot of time fixing up the backyard for the photo shoot.  We had a ball, playing shop, blowing bubbles, sliding down the slide, having cups of tea and riding the cutest, red motorbike.  Thank you for such an enjoyable morning.

Keep getting those rainy days!

The day started off with interim showers and I thought we would be fine for the afternoon photo shoot with this delightful family.  Uh, oh it was not going in our favour.....by the time I met with them it was raining, gust winds and very grey.  Oh well we went with the flow and ended up down the beach where there was a fantastic playground, pier and of course beach for the boys.  They didn't seem to mind the rain, playing in the sand and collecting shells.  Here's a small preview.....

"Melbourne, gale force winds and rain expected this afternoon"

The day started with sunshine in the morning but the Weather Bureau predicted gale force winds and rain in the afternoon right when I was to photograph this delightful family at the park.   We decided to persevere and see what happens.  Starting at the house which had the most beautiful south facing light, building blocks and playing on the in house slide.  Trying to beat the rain, off we went to the local park, running with the balloons, playing on the play equipment, blowing bubbles and was about to finish up when down came the rain!  Mother Nature was just on our side!

Cousins!

I've had the priviledge of photographing these little boys since they were knee high to a grasshopper!  Their cousin has just moved here from overseas and what a treat it was to photograph all three boys in all their cuteness!  The Mums are pretty cute too!
