Things we did in August...

We took Miss Lilli out to take advantage of the orange trumpet vine being in flower. Except it was freakin DEAD, so we had to improvise! We sneaked (very hard to do carrying a kid, a highchair and a bunch of camera's) into a local school grounds and used the stunning pink bouganvillea on their oval. Shhhhh :oP

Lisa now has this as a 1.5 x 1 metre canvas on her living room wall. It's AMAZING!


I took a photo of my Mummy... (and now she has to be nice to me forever so I don't post the original muahahahahahaha)


I turned 35. I'm not very happy about that. Lucky I'm still pretty :oP


Steff and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! Look how cute we were! (I didn't take it, obviously!)


And I got flowers...pretty! I took photo's of them with last years anniversary pressie :oP








The boys got snuggly...








And then...not so much!




I think that was about it in August...

Last play at the park with the McKays...

Last month we said goodbye to fellow photographer and awesome friend, Katie. Because she left us. That bitch! No really...we still love her lots (even though she left us!) and miss her and the kids heaps!

Arch...


Saxon...


Lilli...


I love the faces they pull coming down the slide. They can't quite decide if they love it or they're scared to death lol.




We miss you SOOOO much guys! Can't wait to see you back up this way for Ben and Jane's wedding next year xxx

June / July...

Lots of these have already been posted on my other blogs so apologies if you've seen them twice!

Silhouette's with Katie...




Sometime around here Steff went for a ride with friends and found me the most stunning location. Complete with rickety old bridge, dirt roads and plenty of green.


We took Grayson and Wyatt for a test run before our first big family session out there.







And a couple from Lis...



See why I can't ever sack her? If she goes into biz on her own she'll steal all my clients :oP You can also blame Lisa for the ever changing watermarks too...I'm transitioning. Again. See, Lisa started out as my assistant. Bag carrier, prop holder, kid entertainer...you name it, she did it. Except shoot. That was my job. Then about 49 weeks ago she thought that it might be an idea if she learned what I was talking about. She started with my back-up camera and quickly upgraded to her current baby (the D300S). Eventually (like now-ish!) she's going to be too good to just "carry the bag". And with any luck one day my biz will be busy enough for 2 photographers. I think it will. Because we're awesome :o)

Anywho...back to the fun stuff (in no particular order, I might add...)




Chin chop. Don't care :oP


Ah ah ah ah stayin aliiiiivvveee... Lilli rockin out Travolta style!


Ouch!


Awwww...




Wyatt's house...







Isn't he pretty? *sigh*


I also did this...


My first family session, which resulted in my first $2000+ sale. They were awesome, and I'm so incredibly pleased that these lovely people chose me to capture their family.

Saxon's birthday post...

Yes, I'm aware it's 2 months late. Hush your mouth :oP

First photo. 7 weeks premature, 5lbs 3ozs.


Curls!


When I close my eyes and think of Saxon, this is what I see...


No curls :o(


And one from a couple weeks ago...this is his "canky and angy" face.


I'll be back. I have a little catching up to do.

They sell everything at Bunnings...

A conversation with Wyatt the other day... (Bunnings is a giant hardware store, btw. Handy mans Heaven - they sell everything).

Wyatt: I don't like Jasper anymore.

Mummy: Why not? He's a good cat.

Wyatt: No he's not. He jumps on me and I don't like it. I want a new cat now.

Mummy: You're not having a new cat, Wyatt. Pets are a part of the family. You can't just give them away cuz you're sick of them. You wouldn't give Daddy away just because he annoyed you, would you?

Wyatt: Yes I would. And I'd get a new one.

Mummy: Where are you going to get a new Daddy from??

Wyatt: Bunnings!

Daddy better watch himself...

Better late than never, right?

The day our loves changed forever...
