Just a quick post on a photo session with a sweet little puppy this morning! This was a challenge!

Special times

This is a treasure photos.  It was taken late afternoon (the best time for me to take photos).  The magic is to get them all together, smiling and looking at the camera. Magic!!!

Best wishes for 2012. May the year be filled with wonderful memories, beautiful photographs and an abundance of creativity!

Growing up to fast.

It is no surprise that I love photos. They take me back to moments.....special moments I want to remember.  When I am looking at photographs of our kids I am always surprised at how time flies. 

Photos that were taken two/three years ago make my heart skip a beat. 

This is one of my favourite photos I took during our last holiday.  Hope to remember this moment forever because this little girl is definitely growing up super fast!

 

Still unpacking boxes....

After nearly three years in Sydney, Australia we will eventually move into our own home.  This is such a big thing and we have waited for so long.  Looking for a house in Sydney can be very challenging and this whole "house hunt thing" was a big test for me. 

So now the big surprise when we unpack ALL  the boxes in the garage, hang our pictures (can not even remember what they look like!) and make a REAL home!  I can hardly wait to sort out my "hobby" room - to make a special space for my scrapping, sewing, photo editing and painting!  I need SPACE!!!

 

We are still enjoying Sydney (summers more than winters)  and know that we have been blessed with regular family visits and great friends.

Trying something new....

I need to be creative.  It makes me tick!  It makes me HAPPY.  So when a very creative friend from University started art classes I signed up.  Bought some paint , canvas and decided that I am going to use palette knives and not brushes.  It opened a whole new world for me.

 
This is one of my favourite paintings so far.  I knew that I could not paint realistic trees so decided to create a style that will work for me.  I am thinking purple mountains, red trees, orange grass.....my mind is running wild and I suppose that will show in my paintings.  More to follow.

Family time

Living in different parts of the world can be very hard, especially if you are close to your family.  We decided to meet halfway and had a wonderful holiday at Club Med Bintan.  Highly recommended!  The family is use to our "formal" photo shoot and I just love love love the look of the photos.

 

 

Happy New Year.

A new year and with that some new year's resolutions.  One of which is to blog more.  So here I go my first "little " blog for 2010.  

Welcome Spring

Just a quick digital page.   It is great to be at the start of summer.  I am definitely NOT a winter person and was not aware of the fact that it is dark at 5pm in winter (our first winter in Sydney).  The days are very short in winter...So just a few more weeks and it is getting warmer every day!

Took this photo of Tasha on the 1st of September with her new dress and hair that ONLY looks like this for about 5 minutes after I tie it up.  This child has busy hair (the reason why she looks good with hats).

Still love to scrap and create but somehow I seem to social a little bit to much, hopefully one day I will have time to scrap a bit more.
