Interview for ABC on hating Daylight Savings!!

Im not a big fan of Daylight Savings. To be honest...it SUCKS!!! It ruins our special Magic Hour of photography, and makes the afternoons far too hot for my liking. I mean If you could spend your summer on the beach and never have to worry about work or getting the kids to bed, or eating at a reasonable hour, or getting to sleep on time...then yes, I can see how it could be good, BUT in WA, its completely unnecessary and quite detrimental to a good and happy life! Even without daylight savings sunset would still be about 7.30pm in December, and thats plenty late for walks along the beach and playing cricket with the kids, and also means its not 40 degrees at 8pm!

Ive just been quoted on the ABC blog with my opinion on Daylight Savings...I 'think' I sound intelligent:LOL:

And if it had been daylight savings lately...I would never have gotten a photo like THIS because it would have happened an hour into the reception! From Shannon and Brett's wedding on the 18th...keep and eye out for a full post tomorrow :)

Zoe and Paul - 11th April 2009

This has to be one of my favorite weddings of all time! It was held on a massive cattle and sheep farm outside of Boyup Brook over the Easter weekend and my first thought as we drove onto the property was 'OMG this is AWESOME!!!' It was mighty helpful that Paul and Zoe are two absolutely fabulous people too!

Zoe looked amazing. Her dress was stunning, all the details just perfect, and her sisters bridesmaid dress was just beautiful.

Their fur-baby was a bridesmaid!!

The property, owned by Zoe's family, was beyond amazing. Both sides of the family had spent the last 6 months working tirelessly to show it off to the guests for the weekend, some who had traveled from the eastern states, and from as far afield as Europe!

It was a wedding photographers dream come true. And how cool is their Wedding Transport??

Can I hear a resounding OMG!!!

The reception was held in the Machinery Shed! I took one step inside and my mind just blew...it was unbelievably fabulous.

Check out all the fabulous fabulousness in the slideshow. The love and joy and happiness that oozed out of everyone there was just amazing. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of such a special day.

Baby Zak and co!

There has been a baby expolsion around me as of late. All my close friends seem to be be either having babies or getting pregnant or a little of both. my best friend is due in May, my husbands best friend is bring his two kids back to perth to live....its a never ending shower of cuteness!!!!

A friend of mine had her second child a few weeks aggo and asked me to capture some images for her.  But of course I say!!

I love babies. They are so entertaining! The wonder and interest in their eyes, at pretty much anything! Zak was a serious little thing, taking it all in and pondering it all. Mum said he is usually quite smiley, but used it all up before I got there :)

Being a model is very serous work.... Its tiring work being cute all the time!

Zak's Big Brother Aiden joined in for a few. He loves his little brother so much!!! Have you ever seen such gorgeous hair on a 2 year old?

All tuckered out and wanting a cuddle

Thankyou for being a fabulous little supermodel Zac! And i don't believe Mum when she says you grizzle, you were a perfect little angel for me!

Nicky and Bryce - The Slideshow!!!

Nicky and Bryce had a totally gorgeous wedding at the beautiful Amberley Estate in Yallingup/Margaret River. Its just stuning there!! The day started with meeting up with both Bryce and Nicky at their respective preparation sites, and then heading to Caves House where Nicky had a couple of drinks with her family to calm the nerves!! Caves House is totally amazing, very much recommended for a ceremony and/or reception site. 

Off to Amberley, where we met with a nervous and excited Bryce, looking oh-so-dapper... 

After the beautiful heartfelt ceremony we rushed off for some photos before reception started, having heaps of fun and laughs around the front gates of Amberley...and then back to the main area for the reception.

Check out the slide show for all the fun of the day! Wait till you see the cake - too cool for words :)

Love you guys, Nicky...you make me smile every time I see one of your pics, the joy just shines like a beacon for all to see.

Who is the newest member of the AIPP?

That would be ME!!

All New Grit and Glamour Sessions!

Ive been wanting to get into the whole "Trash The Dress" phenomena as i think the images around the place are just fabulous, and it leads itself to some really imaginative and stunning imagery....but Ive seen a lot of people shy away from the idea because they think 'Trash the Dress" = "Destroy the Dress" which is totally not the case! I wanted to show that you can achieve some amazing images without hurting your dress one iota.

Ive called the sessions "Grit and Glamour" to symbolise the joining of two extremes to create amazing imagery

My call for "Trashers" showered me with prospective models for this endeavour, and my first was the lovely Robyn.

Wanting to show off the beauty of our South West, as well as creating some funky artistic beautiful images, we chose a remote location near Yallingup for the shoot. Finding an amazing run-down shack was a photographers dream come true!












We even convinced her Husband to join in for a few shots. We wanted to show a really juxtaposition between the Bridal Beauty and the Rugged Aussie Bloke...









Id love to do more of these types of shoots, so if your feeling adventurous give us a call!
