Chillin' down at the diner!
Little, weenie, purple bow tie!
Dressed up for the occasion....the cutest little purple bow tie on the cutest little button!
B&W Challenge | Day 1
I've been nominated by Bree Kobiolke (thanks Bree) to take part in the B&W Challenge for 5 days. Well here goes Day 1......an old shot of Toby that I love from when he was 4 years old!
Bayside Native Plants come alive....
I love exploring our streets and finding local native plants. Spring is when they come into bloom, even the Teatree. The colour of the Bottlebrush below was so vibrant against the late afternoon blue sky.
William Rickett's Sanctuary
On the weekend we visited an 'eye popping' sanctuary with the most amazing clay statues - William Rickett's Sanctuary, Dandenong Ranges. Situated in a ferny glade in the Dandenongs, William Ricketts Sanctuary is a place of beauty and tranquillity, due both to the natural setting and the mystical sculptures half hidden among ferns along the pathways. Well worth the visit!
My Boy!
These days it's really hard to get photos of my son! Between the "do I have too" and bribing him this shot was taken when he least expected it, which is usually when you get the best, natural photos.
I'm a what....a Great Aunt???
Oooooh, the cutest little button! I love photographing 6 month old bubs, they're adorable especially this little vegemite as he's my nephew's first child. Yep, I'm a Great Aunt, boy do I feel old!!!!
Soccer Presentation
A fun day was had for Toby's final soccer match and presentation, especially when his best friend is in the team as well! I've been photographing both his best friend and his sister since they were babies, they grow so quick!
My cute nephews!
Went for a visit to my Mum & Dad's place yesterday arvo for Father's Day. My youngest brother has the most cutest boys and of course you know who couldn't resist taking some photos! Sandy, I hope you enjoy them!
Spring is here.....
Oh how we've missed you sunshine, Spring is here!
Dreamy, sunlit images!
Tilly's still apprehensive about the water at the beach but loved running in the sand!
It was so nice to be down the beach in warm weather!
My son, wherever he goes, there goes the soccer ball!
"Symmetry"
Toby's favourite sport is soccer.....our backyard fences are starting to take a tole!
"Backlight"
A photographer's dream is beautiful lighting especially back light! It makes a photo look magical! The best time to photograph is late afternoon light or early morning light as it's soft and dreamy. Photograph the subject with their back to the sun, this produces an almost halo effect around the subject!
Down the beach
What better way to relieve stress than a walk down at our local beach, Port Phillip Bay. What was unusual was two black swans in the water but apparently they've been there for a while now!
Project 52 "Pets"
Ooooohhhh!!!! Can't half tell that I'm a huge animal lover....all shapes and sizes!!!
Project 52 "Walkies"
These two are best friends.....my munchkins!
Project 52 "Blown Away"
Storm coming!!!!!
Project 52 "Bold Light"
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!!!
Looking back.....!
Looking through the archives and I just found this old shot of Toby....oh how much he's grown.....!!!!
