diego

What a little sweetie pie! He is the first to use my new funky red chair that I got from Albury. Very cool. Diego had a great time playing in the chair, climbing the ladder and playing hide and seek with the cowboy hat.

I really do apoligise to anyone who is waiting for their photos to be edited, we have just sold our house and are in the process of building a new house with a new studio in it. I really had no idea how long it took to build a house! Or how long it takes to pick out taps, tiles and light fittings. I am working on everything as much as I can. Wont be too long!

It doesn't really look much now but its gonna be great when we finish it. At the moment our move date looks to be the 28th of February, but that might change. Hopefully earlier! The big hole on the left is my new studio shoot space, and the doors will all be glass to let in lots of natural light, and the window on the right is my office, and in between is my new meeting area. Look forward to seeing you all in my new space soon!

erwin & chin chin's wedding

Erwin and Chin Chin had a lovely ceremony at the Bamboo Gardens with their reception at the Pavillion on Friday the 22nd of December. The rings were tied to a red rose and guests blew bubbles on their arrival.

bronwyn and lukes wedding

Bronwyn and Luke were married at the Mt. Erin Chapel with a reception at the Magpies Nest, which I just love. It has so much character and lots of great shooting spots and you can watch the sun go down over the hills. Beautiful.

the eden kids plus brutus

A dog has never been so aptly named as Brutus. He is huge. Anyone who has been to my studio has probably met our dog Bracken, who is pretty big. But he's got nothing on Brutus, who even got his photo in the paper last year for winning the biggest dog contest at the Pet and Pony show. We had reindeer antlers on him (this was taken just before Christmas) and we had a lot of people making comments as they went past.

the eden kids

Some more great location portraits, this time in Junee. These kids are just beautiful. One day they will all be famous. Click for the slideshow!

jordan

Not only did we get some funky location portraits but we also had a milkshake. And how gorgeous is she? Check out some more in the slideshow.

the stephens kids

More portrait shoots from last year. They were such lovely kids to work with, we shot for over an hour and they were just great. I spent a lot of the time trying to get the little cutie in the tutu to smile, but then one of my favourites ended being a not smiley one anyway. Keep an eye out for it as a canvas print in the studio.

And of course, I did a slide show.

ava

Meet Ava, who I am sure one day is going to be a famous star, and I can say "Hey, I photographed her!". This is the second result from my hunt for new work for my studio displays. Only two more to go, plus two weddings from last year. Did someone say busy?

And for the ...

isabelle

These shots are the result of my first 'let me shoot it my way' model shoots. I need some work for my new studio and I wanted a particular look so I put out the word for some models and had a huge response. So let me introduce Isabelle, my first model.

And for the slide show...

the smith family portraits

This shoot was a present to Merle for her birthday. A very sweet idea, especially as they had little baby Ava along for lots of hugs and kisses.

Country Weddings

Check out my entry on the Country Weddings Webiste, a great resouce for anyone getting married in the Riverina.

little tiny kalden

Actually he's not as little as he used to be, he has grown so much, nearly doubled in his birthweight already. And what a cutie! Even my almost-sister-in-law thinks he's cute.

sites for your invitations and bomboniere

So technically I am still on holidays, but today I am working on my new price lists (which is no fun at all) and I was looking for ideas for a neat way to package my wedding price list and I found these sites. So I thought I would share.

Try kardella kreations , for invites and great little boxes with your name and personalised ribbon on them, they do nice invites too

This site has tons of bonbonniere, even little tiny chair place card holders

Pulp creative paper has an absolutely gorgeous store in manly, I spent an hour just looking at all that beautiful paper

Beautiful invitations at fresh creative

Angels Dreaming. Its so pretty!

Huetopia Studios. More prettiness! Maybe this was a bad idea, I dont think I can get my price lists to look that good!

andrew and emma wedding

Emma had the most stunning beaded gown, matched with sexy black shoes and red bridesmaids dresses. I love the detail on the cake.

For a slideshow of pics click here.

see you next year!

Just a reminder that we are closed until the 8th of January 2007.

Have a wonderful new year!

thanks!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered their kids for my studio displays, I have had heaps of responses and now have a portrait shoot booked for every night this week. So thanks! We have no more spots left at the moment, but we may need some more models next year so stay tuned.

And another thanks, to all my clients from this year, you have been fantastic! A big cheer to you all for letting me share in the most important days of your life, your families, your kids, even your pets. I have never been so busy and had so much fun.

So thank you!
