This person is like my own daughter. I have watched her grow, took care of her, she would come over to my house at Christmas wearing socks on her hands and she was Kali’s big sister. I will protect her and look after as if she is my own!!
I love her to bits and to see that she is making a move to push her business and talents is fantastic.
Please give her a boost and show her some loving as she is a young single mum starting over and needs a hand…
I do a lot for lots of people. I may have help you out at some point or even been a ear to listen and have never asked for anything….. but now I am asking….
Help my daughter (not by blood but my love) out by liking her page and sending her some message of love. 🙂
Have you ever wondered what happy balloons look like?
Well I had the opportunity to to find out. A couple of us crazy kids grabed some balloons and popped out around the National Art Gallery snapped off a few shots and I must say it was a lot of fun.
I kept thinking of that movie Up and wondering how many balloons would it actually take for one of the models to be taken away…… and after some really deep thought I snapped out of it and got to work. 🙂
Contemplating where balloons can take you
Imagination runs wild when you come across a bunch of creative people that want to be creative. Kinda makes you wonder whether limits are, and are there actually any limits?
Simple task of grabbing a couple of balloons and seeing what you make of them is an interesting challenge….. If you haven’t done it give it a go sure you will find a blast.
Up up and away
If you after some unique portraits ones that are completely different to normal studio and run-of-the-mill shots, please drop me a line as I’m sure we can come up with something creative just for you.
Being able to capture a fraction of a second of someone’s life might seem a little unimportant, however while this may be the case in some shots others hold a significant amount of personal connection with the people within the photo.
Has there been times in your life where you have been incredibly sad, excited, happy, mad or just in a special place, like when you meet someone for the first time or someone you look up to.
My job as an event and portrait photographer is to capture these moments, moments that pass at the blinking of an eye but a significant to the people that I photographed for and are in these shots.
I photographed equestrian events that involved a lot of children and in one case there was a child was bawling her eyes out as she was so frustrated with the pony at the time wasn’t doing what she wanted it to do. The mother of this child saw me snapping away and kind of shooed me off as she didn’t want to embarrass the young girl. My response to her was that the emotions and the tears something that her and her daughter would cherish for a lifetime. She heard these words, sat back and thought for a second or so and let me continue shooting. When I publish these photos in my online store you never guess who bought copies? 🙂
So for me sometimes it might be awkward or uncomfortable for some people to get the photo taken while they are in an emotional state, I know that once the tears dry and the excitement passes the only thing left be the special moments captured in time.
Wee bit ago I had the opportunity to participate in a collaboration between myself, two models (Laurynn and Rhett) , a make-up artist – Jakki from “Makeup by Jacklyne”, Jaemi as our talented stylist from DayDream Styles and my lovely work experience assistant Emily.
Now the time of booking this photo shoot we kind of didn’t take into consideration the Canberra at this time of year gets very cold and on the very morning we shot this it was -6°. brrrrrrr
Me I was okay as I had thermals, gloves, beanie, double socks and not to mention a scarf and jacket. The poor models on the other hand were not so lucky and I must say they did a fantastic job considering it was extremely cold.
On the scene when it is -6°
The make up artist was not faring so well as I was not sure she was really prepared for what was one of the coldest mornings we have had for a long time.
When I arrived on just before day break I cracked out my thermos with freshly made coffee and offered it around. To my surprise no one at that point wanted any, what I can say after they had stood in the cold for a few hours they were more than happy to have a cupa, even if it was just to hold the hot cup. hahahahaha
The same was true for the gloves I offered to the make up artist, at first she didn’t want them but after s bit she was okay with the offer..
I must say the photos turned out really nice and the stylist did a fantastic job. Her fiancee also needs to get an award for helping her set up the scene in the dark and freezing conditions before we showed up. 🙂
Look at how cute these guys look!
All in all it was a great day and you wouldn’t know looking at these photos that it was actually freezing!! That is the power of photography my friends…. 🙂
If you are interested in having a one-of-a-kind photo shoot for your wedding or engagement drop us a line and I’m sure we can make it something very special.
As I look back over the last few days I must say I could never of planned or even considered how my fantastic my trip was going to be.
Was it super busy? Yes.
Did I get some fantastic photos? Yes I think so.
Did I take full advantage of my time away? Yes.
Meet a heap of new people
Caught up with people I have not see in some time
Had a super cool early morning tour around the rocks with a good friend
went walking in the rain
had multiple nights out
Had dinner with some truly wonderful people.
Got a chance to really get to know some friends
Learned a lot
Hopefully enlightened others while coming across more hipsters that I would like to count. 🙂
While I was away I had some bookings come in at short notice and while I wasn’t able to help out the clients and I found support from my fellow photographers, and to them I send them my thanks.
This adventure comes to a close a new on will open tomorrow and I must say I am excited to see what and where it will take me.
As I head home i get ready for the next asventure.
