What a glorious Autumn morning!

I just had to stop everything to capture it's beauty.





I hope, wherever you are, whatever you are doing and who you are with, that you are having a wonderful day.

Happy October everyone!

A Christening

I had the pleasure of taking pictures at a Christening on the 16th August.
Wow! Such a beautiful church! The light in there was amazing!



The decor was so modern and absolutely stunning!



Before the service started, I spotted this little girl sitting only about a foot away from her family. She looked like she was in a world of her own. So sweet.



Then she got up and started twirling in the aisle with her sister.










And here's a fun shot. I got the guests to grab a camera and, either pretend to take a picture of me, or actually take one. I'm not sure how many actually took a picture lol. It was alot fun!

A Wedding!

On the 8th of August I shot the most perfect wedding. The Bride wasn't nervous at all.
She was very excited and had so many ideas of her own.
Here are a few of my favourites from the day :o)

I asked the Bride if she could have the rings before the wedding so I could get a few detailed shots of them.



Her Bouquet was simple but absolutely breathtaking. With tiny gems in the centre of her cream Roses. Wow!





I just love how they are both looking down but facing each other here, and the confetti in her hair adds such a sweet touch.



The Bride wanted the Hotel's water feature in her photographs, how could I say no?!
While we were at the water feature, I spotted a huge rock.
My goodness they look so hot on that rock don't they?!
I LOVE IT!



One of the last shots I got of the Bride just before they were called into dinner.
So beautiful!



Their cake was stunning!



I am so pleased I captured this fun shot of Mum hiding a Beer under her hat haha.
It just makes me smile everytime I look at it.
Doesn't she looking amazing!



And, as an extra special touch to their wedding album, I shot the moon on the night of their wedding.
I'm such a romantic :o)

7 Day Photo Challenge - 1st to the 8th August

Well, I did another 7 day photo challenge and thoroughly enjoyed it!
My kids don't want to sit for me much these days, so, I have been having to step wayyyyy out of my comfort zone and shoot things other than portraits. I think it has been good for me though.

Day 1. Film Title "Cars"



Day 2. Transportation "Walk"



Day 3. Emotion "Sisterly love"



Day 4. Flower(s) "Rose"



Day 5. Blue "Topsy Turvy World"



Day 6. Back Yard "Secure"



Day 7. Your creative choice "It's a Boy!"
Having fun and getting "creative" with my white balance in-camera and, as I "created" these booties for my Grandson, I thought this was a perfect "creative choice" :o)



Whatever you are doing and whoever you are with, I hope you are having a great day :o)

One Month?!!!

That's how long it's been since I posted anything?! Then that must be how old my Grandson is! Oh my goodness how the time flies!

Good grief...in that one month I have shot a wedding, a Christening, joined my local photographic society and sold a print!

I didn't even post any pictures of my visit to meet my new Grandson!

I think I better start catching up with my news. There's probably going to be a good few days full of news to come in the next week or so :o)

Enjoy!



He was such a good boy agreeing to model one of Nanny's hats hehe.



However, I'm not entirely sure he was very impressed lol

I'm a Nanna!!!

Now this really is something to blog about!!!

Please welcome our new grandson Cameron.
Born this morning @ 1:58am, weighing 7lb 12oz
I am such a proud Nanna and I am so excited!
Thank you so much Samantha and Dave for giving me my first grandson.
And thank you to my sister, Sue, for the picture.

Looking Good

My twin daughter's got a hold of my son this afternoon and spiked his hair. I went to touch his hair but he pushed my hand away!
Wow! 5 years old, and already, nobody messes with the "Do"! haha

Busy, Busy, Busy

I have been so busy these past few weeks and it looks like I am going to get even busier!

I have got hat orders coming out of my ears and I haven't even made them yet lol.
Mind you that's nice. It's a nice steady flow and I am really enjoying making them at this pace :o)

"Pink Beanie with a Brim and a Cream Rose"





"Cream Beanie with a Brim and a Pink Rose"



However...I have still had time to play hehe



I just LOVE the rich colours of kids toys!



Wow! Check out this log cabin! Isn't it GORGEOUS?!



I hope you are all having a great day and enjoying your life as much as I am :o)

Shooting with my girls

My twin daughters, who are 13 years old, and I went shooting together this evening.
I am very, very impressed with the shots they got...WOW!

Here are 2 of their shots...





... and here is my shot ...

The Line Painting Fairy

Ever wonder who painted the lines in the middle of the road?
The line painting fairy of course!!! lol

Horses

My hubby took me out today to get some shots of animals.
He found me some horses! Yay!

So, I get out of the car and start shooting.

I'm resting my camera on the corner of the gate to take these shots ...





... when I noticed one of the black horses, the one that appeared to have itchy butt syndrome, comes walking over to me.



It turns itself around and starts scratching it's butt on the very corner of the gate, that I had been resting my camera on!!! Ewwwww Yuck!!! I was literally pmsl



And then it walked off with the grey horse as if it was disgusted with me taking their photographs!



I showed my 5 year old son the film when I got home and he belly laughed, so hard and so loud, that he made me laugh! His laugh is so contagious.
He found this absolutely hilarious. I guess he has my sense of humour lol.

I hope you are all having a great day.

I played with a Tomato today lol

I know I'm Banana's aren't I? lol







and then ... I made a Ploughman's Sandwich! haha
