ethan

This family was so sweet. They had received a gift voucher from one of my lovely brides as a gift for when Ethan was born. Isnt he sweet? I love the one with the blue beanie on. Absolute cuteness.

I dont know if you can tell from the pics but Ethan has on a cloth nappy that comes already folded, with ready to go with velcro tabs. These are a great idea for your baby's shots, and much easier than trying to fold a nappy. The only problem is i cant find them? I looked in kmart but no luck... does anyone have any ideas?

claire and alyson's trash the dress session

I had soooo much fun doing this shoot. Claire and Alyson were absolutely fantastic models, willing to do all the crazy things that I asked. We played with poses, we played with accessories and shoes and fish net stockings, and then we played in the mud. The stinky squishy mud and I think it was fabulous!

So we used Claire and Alysons wedding dresses, but we also used a bridesmaids dress ( the black one ) and funked it up some...

We are even thinking about having a second performance in January, when the water is a bit warmer so we can spend more time on the river shots. Maybe even get some husbands to come along?

A huge thank you to claire and alyson for braving the cold waters of the river and the squishy mud ( i went in up to my knees and was terrified of dropping the camera! ). You rock! And for getting changed in parked cars, laying in uncomfortable positions on brick walls and for brining lollies... and not laughing hysterically when we nearly got bogged at the river.

Did i mention how much fun i had doing this shoot??

megans trash the dress session

So I took a little drive down to Albury and then just popped across the border to shoot Megan in her gorgeous wedding gown. My first trash the dress session! Woo hoo! I second shot on this one with Briony of Hardinge Photography in Albury, so thanks Briony for letting me tag along. And a big thanks to Megan for rolling around in the grass for us.

Briony grabbed some shots of me too, so if any are suitable for public viewing I will post them when I see them.

Great light and a great location. Notice I said great light first? ( Any photographers reading this who went to the Jerry Ghionis seminar with me will be nodding along! )

For the last two in the post we played with a video light, so I have got to get me one of those.
