Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

February Faves...

Yeah, I know...I'm a month late (how's that for a potentially scary sentence? :oP )

This one is just for Grandpa :o) In my defense, he did this himself!

Oh no, this isn't cheeky...much!

Jasper...see him trying to hide behind the toy bucket on the end of the bath? That was after he managed to escape the trolley of terror.

Wyatt's new hat. Don't ask me, I just take the photo's...

Just for the record, I do love our other 2 children, they're just not so willing to be snapped as the little 2. In case you were wondering ;o)

I cannot even imagine what the first 15 will have to say if they ever saw my Grandsons with "bows" in their hair

I will send you out a "pudding bowl" and a pair of shears

Lots of love

Hi Nikki

Thats a nice chunk of glass you have on that camera, is it one of my old lenses or is it one that came with the Christams camera?

Lots of love

Hello!

Since I got the D700 I've really only used the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 on it. It's a nice little portrait lens and liked it on the D80, but I absolutely LOVE it on the D700. I did use the Sigma 10-20mm that you gave me for the office shots because the 50mm isn't wide enough to get it all in, but it's a DX lens. The D700 is an FX camera so I get a black vignette right the way round and have a crop a fair bit. Next time I want to use it I'll have to put it on the D80 :o)

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
