the beach in winter is beautiful

the beach in winter is beautiful.  the air is cold and it bites into your skin and stings your cheeks.  the clouds make strange shapes that make the sun emit a warm glow.  shadows play on the waves while the surfers bob up and down, lost in sea and foam.  and all the while dogs sit and wait, ears pricked to the lightest sound of their owners returning.

dwellingup

i went camping with the lovely nicole in dwellingup a couple of weekends ago.  the air was extremely fresh and brisk but it was so nice to breathe in the fresh air and be completely surrounded by trees.

a day at the farm

we went to the country life farm, just past dunsborough, to celebrate caden's second birthday. it was a lot of fun (for both kids and adults!) looking at all the aniamsl and feeding them copious amounts of carrots :) judging by caden's exclamations of 'whoa' and 'ooh man', i think he had a good time :)

smile on my dial

being a little bit busy for the next couple months means that i won't be able to blog as much. i've pulled a few from the archives - these are some of the things that put a smile on my dial. my morning cup of tea! baking! (and taking pictures of the baking) friendly dogs! and logs of wood! i hope you are having a pleasant winter (or summer) and i will hopefully have more to show you when i shoot..wait for it..a wedding!

beside the seaside – family portraiture

last weekend i spent some time with julie and leon and their three beautiful girls (and their extended family :) ) i couldn’t have asked for a better day – perfect weather, beautiful location and a wonderful family :) here are a few pictures!

kelly + liana + sheryl

i couldn’t have asked for a more perfect winter’s day – blue skies, perfect weather and three lovely girls to take pictures of :)

southside travellers: part one

a couple of weeks ago now, when the days and weekends weren't so hectic, i took a road trip with some friends to margaret river. we did the obligatory tripping around to chocolate factories, berry farms, beaches, drive in's and the like. here is part one of the pictures! we could probably just title it: food. i seem to have a penchant for photos of food! i can't make it but at least i can shoot it (and eat it).

thanks for a lovely little getaway girlies, we should do it again sometime :)

ps. if you want to know the story behind these pictures, click them! ah, so tempting :)
