Shanae and Russell Pre Wedding Portrait

I met up with the effervescent Shanae and her hunky Hubby-to-Be, Russell, here in Dalyellup last Wednesday afternoon. It was absolutely spectacular afternoon, blue sky's, not too cold... and after a few wild and woolly days it was nice to get out in the sunshine!

The great thing about Dalyellup is we are less than 3 minuets from the Beach and walking distance to all sorts of fabulous lakes and gardens.

We started out on the boardwalk by Dalyellup Lake.







And headed down to the Beach!







Someone is a bit of a scardy-cat LOL



I'm really looking forward to their wedding in November, its being held in Pemberton, One of my favorite towns!

This is JUST the thing i need for my lovely head cold ive adopted this week. Anything to make it a bit nicer anyway....

or perhaps one of these might be nice.... what do you think???

Here are my Faves... ( but I'm not embarrassed to admit my taste in music is extremely bad by most standards....)

Step by Step - New Kids on The Block...

Yes its probably one of the most embarrassing songs out there but i just LOVE the happiness of it.... I was never really into NKOTB when I was at school, I was much more of a Nirvana and The Church kindof girl, but as I've mellowed in my old age, I prefer happy music over 'I want to sit in a dark room and wear all black' kind of music.

oops I did it again - Britney Spears

again its kinda happy and bouncy, even though its technically a break up song...and you have to LOVE that red jumpsuit in the video clip :)

Candyman and Aint no other Man - Christina Aguleria

again, happy and bouncy and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the video clips because she looks amazing and the whole 40's ear thing she has going at the moment rocks big time :D

Almost anything by The Spice Girls

You have to admit...they are very cool LOL

ANYTHING recorded in the 80's

I LOVE LOVE LOVE 80's music, mainly because its always so upbeat and bouncy and happy! even when its a depressing kinda theme to the song it STILL sounds happy, as apposed to 90's music which was all depressing and 00's music which is all full of hate. The 80's ROCKS!

I'm tagging.....

James Day (because he is currently my hero...not only having the same last name as me, but because he got to meet Becker, Jessica Claire and Jasmine Star! Lucky Bugger)

Amanda, Kent and Lauren - Pre Wedding Portrait - 31st May 2008

A sunny afternoon in Kings Park over a long weekend...can you think of a better way to spend the day?

Amanda, Kent and their daughter Lauren met Myself and John in Kings Park for their Pre Wedding Portrait. Amanda used to work with John at GWN here in Bunbury, but I hadn't met them before this time so it was lovely to spend some time with them and get to know them all before their big day in July.

We started off in the Pines next to Frasier's, and then wandered up to the Art Wall behind 'Aspects of Kings Park' Looking GOOOOD!













Kent's Daughter Lauren is a TOTAL sweatheart :) She is going to be flowergirl at the wedding and i reckon makes a really good little assistant! She kept John in line anyhow.







I think they make a pretty good looking Family :D
