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

Our annual boudoir day went off without a hitch...6 gorgeous ladies and 1 very brave guy got their gear off for us today. It's not such a bad way to spend a Sunday ;o)

Is concentration an emotion? Caught Wyatt's coin mid-spin. Lots of grainy B&W's this week. Must make an effort to shoot earlier!

Ok, so I don't use this camera every day...but you get the idea. I could use it though...circa 1912, and still in perfect working order. As much as I adore my D700, I have serious doubts as to whether it'll still be going in another 98 years!

Wallet, keys, sunnies...3 things I never leave home without. Although I'm sure Steff wouldn't mind if I forgot the wallet occasionally :oP

Mummy: We're going to make a list of everyones chores and put them on the fridge. Then everyone knows what they need to do each day.
Wyatt: Yay! Good idea. I'll be the manager.
Mummy: Umm...ok. What exactly does the manager do?
Wyatt: I get to lay around and relax while I make everyone else do all the work.

Sweet!

Photo a day - 62/366 - In the kitchen

Today when I was supposed to be in the kitchen cooking dinner, I was actually standing on top of a hill making the most of that golden hour right as the sun is setting.

What I learned today. Never ever style your shoot and then walk away leaving your 6yr old standing beside it. Because instead of the perfect loaf of banana/blueberry/zucchini bread all wrapped up with paper and twine, you come back to this. He pulled the twine right the way through it and cut it in half. In the time it took me to walk to the next room and pick up a memory card.

Kids. Sometimes they suck.

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...
