Georgia Peach

Georgia is one of those beautiful creatures that walks the earth.  She is 12 years old and about as tall as me and I am pretty tall.  Then there is her flawless skin, and wicked sense of humour.  This girl has got it going on.  She is a tomboy with three big brothers.   One dropped by the shoot, shook his head and started trying to figure out whether he needed to keep a baseball bat handy to keep the boys away.  I love shooting girls this age because in one frame you get the lovely innocence and in the next frame you see the woman she will become.   Gorgeous.

Gorgeous Gwen and her lovely mum Jane

Really?  Is it possible to be this cute? Gwen is the size of a newborn..granted a big one but she is 6 months old which means that she is possibly the cutest little thing in a nappy.   Huge grins and personality in the most adorable little package.   Poor Jane having to pick from her images...normally I have about 50-80 that I show people...ummmm, there were over 280 on this babies viewing images.  I was a bit embarrassed but this kid just wouldn't stop being cute, and adorable, and wonderful, and amazing.  I struggled to cull what to show so in the end we had to struggle to cut down what we were going to print and put on the wall because seriously  you could have wallpapered her room in sheer cuteness.

A day of Contrasts

Some days you just gotta love.  I mean really love and thank you lucky stars you are alive and get to play the game.  Today as rainy and crappy as it was outside was quite another thing in our studio.  It was a day of magic.  Seriously creative awesome magic.

Katherine had planned on doing a shoot that was significantly out of the ordinary.  She went and hired an Elizabethan costume because she wanted to have a portrait that reflected her favourite Era...with her cast as the Queen of course.  My favourite part was after we got the strait shots was when Katherine started doing the Makerana...that series of images will be one of my favourite of all time.

Lovely feedback from the Beginners Photography Course last weekend

Hi Mandi,

I have been buzzing since the course on Sunday - it was just what I needed - nothing too full on but a simple understanding of how the manual settings work.  I now just need to practice HEAPS!!.  As you suggested,  I have taken some ssshhhhhiiitttty photos!!!!!!  But it is good to be able to play around and then go back and see what went  wrong.   I think you have an awesome nature and you are such a good teacher - not making anyone feel uncomfortable for not knowing something - I am really keen to do another course with you.

Red Pebble | Ann treats the girls

Ann is the sort of boss that everyone wishes they had.  She was so proud of all that her crew had achieved this year at Red Pebble that she treated the girls to the most amazing Christmas work do.   First she took them shopping and then kept it completely secret that she was bringing them to my studio to spoil them with makeovers and a photoshoot.  Even Mary who hates getting her photo taken was leading me around to new spaces for shoots as she warmed up to the idea.  Beautiful girls..and an amazing team.  I was so impressed with them that I hired them strait away to help with my next A La Mode Party.    If you are planning an event I would definitely check these ladies out!
