Last Saturday a friend of mine alerted me to this magazine, Paradise Magazine from the Gold Coast Bulletin, July 24-25 2010.  I was told that one of my photos was used in an article from that magazine.  Needless to say I was a bit puzzled since to my knowledge I had not submitted any photos for competition or otherwise recently.  However, when I saw the photo I recalled the conversation that I had with the author of that article who is the father of the baby I photographed about using one of my photographs in his article.

This little baby was only a few weeks old when I photographed her and she was a champ!  She slept well and that certainly made my job so much easier.  It’s such a buzz to see your work in print!

If you haven’t read the article yet, then grab a copy and read it.  When it comes to pregnancy, birthing options, birthing centres etc, these are topics that are will strike a cord with most if not all mothers and mothers-to-be.

They have been friends since they were a little over 6 weeks old.  Even though they do not go to the same school, we try to keep in touch during school holidays by having sleep overs at each other’s house.  My “oldest” friendship dates back to school days.  So I do hope that their friendship [...]

Well, school holidays is half gone and so far I have enjoyed the “slow” mornings and the easy evenings whereby I do not have to pack lunch boxes (one of my pet hates!).  Today we baked cup cakes.  Last week we baked brownies but I didn’t take any photos.  So I thought I better make [...]

Neither my husband nor I have green thumbs as you can see from the photos below!  My daughter bought some plants a few weeks ago and planted them in pots.  Let’s hope she doesn’t inherit this non-green thumbs from us or these plants will be dead soon!  So I thought I better take some photos [...]

Queensland is supposed to be the sunny state but lately we have been having a lot of rainy days!  So naturally I was very anxious that it would rain today since it was very overcast.  Anyway, I decided to take the risk and trust the weather forecast that it would not rain, just very, very [...]

The day has finally arrived after weeks of preparation.  Phew! All done and dusted now.  It’d be another 3 years before we have to do it all over again for our younger one!  At least this time, the only thing  we have to buy is the shoes!  As predicted it was a bit of a [...]

This year my elder girl is learning how to play the violin at school.  In the evenings she will sometimes “give” her little sister a little “performance”!  However, she has never let her sister hold or play with her violin until this evening.  She looked so adorable I just had to stop what I was [...]

to update the family album and that’s what I did this afternoon for this lovely family.  I must say that this was my shortest session ever and that’s because there were no adorable children involved!  Thank you guys for making my job easy! Here are a few images as a sneak peek.  I will be [...]

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family this afternoon.  They have just welcomed little baby J into the world almost 2 weeks ago.  He was such a joy to photograph!  I wish I had more time with him!  His sisters, J and C were no less adorable!  As promised, here are a few [...]
