Pinups, Pets and Pretty Millenery

Ok, so yesterday I started filling you in on whats been happening over the space of time its taken us to move into the new house/studio. So heres part two!

A few weeks ago an old friend of mine came to visit to treat herself to a pinup makeover shoot. I surprised myself at my ability to do pin up hair and makeup on someone else! So for this shoot I played the role of photographer, modelling coach, Hair and makeup artist, wardrobe and chauffeur! We had a great afternoon driving around to a number of locations and catching up on the old times while we worked.









I've also been doing a fair bit of volunteer work lately for Nine Lives Four Paws Rescue in Rutherford (https://www.facebook.com/ninelivesfourpaws) who do an incredible job of saving cats and finding their forever homes. My own dear little Luna came from this very rescue. I have been working with a number of the kitties on photoshoots to help them have the best chance at finding their perfect family. This Past few weeks I have been doing photoshoots with Rusty and Thumbelina (and a guest appearance from Chilli {please note Chilli is much loved and is not up for adoption}). If you are interested in finding out any more about these lovely cats, please contact Jess or Chris at Nine Lives Four Paws Rescue.



















As I mentioned yesterday, I got to work with two very incredibly talented designers to photograph their headwear ranges. The first one was a bridal headwear shoot for All About Romance (www.allaboutromance.com.au). Kylie is extremely talented at what she does. Her work is all hand made with the beautiful old world touch to it. For anyone looking for stunning vintage style hair peices and veils, I highly recommend you pay Kylie a visit!


























The following weekend I was out at Tocal Homestead again photographing both the bridal and 'Cruella de Ville" ranges from Heidi and Jasper (www.heidiandjasper.com). Heidi's range is perfectly suited to the bride who wants something totally unique that will be remembered! Be sure to go and check her out!

Back in Action!!

Hi Everyone!! It has been quite some time now since we have been on our blog, it has been neglected a little the poor thing. As most of you would already know, we have been in the process of moving into our new studio in Largs for some time now. Well we are now back up and running! In the mean time, a lot has gone on. We have had beautiful winter weddings, a trip to Gladstone, a number of portrait shoots and fashion shoots with a few bridal designers. Phew! Busy Busy!! So I better bring you all up to speed on whats happened over the past few months.

In late June, we had a winter wedding out at our favourite venue Tocal Homestead. Everyone knows how much I love a wet wedding, and this particular day, we certainly had some rain! Tocal was positively a slop heap! But that didn't stop Ben and Alicia from smiling all day!










After Ben and Alicia's wedding I head to Gladstone for a few weeks to spend time with hubby and spend a bit of time doing some landscape photography. Heres a few from my trip.




After I returned from gladstone, it was time for another awesome winter wedding! Megan and Adam were such troopers and were happy to go to some of my seriously obscure locations, including a very rusty abandoned house, the middle of a main road and a grocery store! I don't think we stopped laughing all day!













Early one morning i was met by Casey-Lee and Damien for a very early morning bridal shoot! This is just a quick one of theres as the rest of the shoot is still being worked on. It was a bitterly cold morning, but we managed to create some stunning images anyway!



Just last weekend I spent the day with Matthew and Kelsey, the most fun, down to earth couple I've ever met. We got along like an absolute house on fire which made it so easy to create stunning images for them. Thanks for being an absolute blast guys!!!













Hope you have all enjoyed this rather lengthy blog post! Tomorrow I will post again and update you with images from some portrait, pet portrait and bridal wear shoots!
