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

Yes...another one!

Blog that is. Just can't help myself! No really...this one is my "I'm not in business yet but I'm starting to get my name out there" blog. The plan is that by the time I'm ready to go pro, I'll have a waiting list of potential clients all ready to go. So far so good! It also gives me somewhere to display my work that doesn't contain any personal info. Clients don't need to know that Wyatt is now fully toilet trained (wooohoooo!) or that Grayson has tie-dyed hair (NOT wooohooo!). But please please PLEASE!!!! check all 3 blogs regularly. Particularly the 365 blog. It's updated daily without fail. Even though I do double up sometimes, I don't like to do it too often, so if you're only reading this one you're going to miss out on quite a few photo's of the kids.

And if you want to leave a comment...well that would be nice too. I spend quite a chunk of time doing all of this, from the actual taking of the photo's through to posting them on whichever blog they're destined for. And yes, I do it for the enjoyment I get out of it, but that doesn't mean I don't like a bit of acknowledgement occasionally. And to those of you who do leave a kind word from time to time...thank you! You make my day. You really do!

Right now, where was I? Oh that's right...new blog.

If you look up, right underneath the "Dimmock's Down Under" banner up the top, you'll see the links for my other blogs. Just to make it easy for everyone to follow them :o)

Some recents...

We've had a busy couple of weeks. The boys birthday's, the big kids going to Cairns, Steff and I went to Hervey Bay for 4 days last weekend, and he's had the last week off work as well. So I haven't been posting as often as I like too. I never miss a day on my 365 though, and really, that's the important one. Hopefully you're all following it as well. If not, you're missing out! I post photo's over there that never make it here. I try not to double up too much.

Anyway...I'll shut up because I know you're really here for the photo's :o)

The sky over the Urangan Pier at Hervey Bay on Sunday night. Amazing. This is straight out of the camera...just resized.

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...
