Hope Photography

Here is another shot from a recent session. A beautiful family with beautiful boys.

P is a perfect ....

I have been back from Australia for a week, and only now do I feel like I have beaten the jet lag. Tonight is the first night I had enough energy to go for a run which is a good sign. I miss my friends in Australia, mostly this face. I miss seeing those chocolate eyes everyday.

Ava soar

This is the first chance I have had to post a photograph of my pink balloons in rememberance of Ava Rosemeyer. I wanted to wait until a sunny day to let my balloons go, it seemed only fitting that the sun was shining to mark this moment.

To all her friends and family, I wish you all the best at this time. I have been touched in countless ways by the tragic loss of Ava. For a 3 year old to die in such a tragic accident is a crime, she was the most beautiful little girl. My thoughts are with you.

Happy Love Day

Today I photographed two very cute little boys. Here is an image which may enter my top 10 favourite photographs. I just love the light on his face and arms. I always know when I am satisfied with a shoot because when editing the images I get a lump in my throat, or I'll smile to myself. After spending the afternoon with once strangers to taking pictures of them with their most prized possesions so intimately is a wonderful way to spend my days.

Blue Mountains

We spent the weekend in the Blue mountains. It was a girly road trip, and probably the best mini break I have ever had. We stayed at the 'Old Leura Dairy' which was a very magical place built out of eco friendly materials. The bed was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, made all the more so by the ultra soft duck feather duvet and pillows. It even got cool enough to light a fire, making it feel like a haven. The Blue mountains were a great sight, I don't think I have seen a view as spectacualar in a long while. Even gave Mt McKinley in Alaska a run for its money.    

Summer time & the living is easy...

Two little girls playing in a water fountain-heavenly. It's my last week in Australia and I have had such a wonderful time. I can't believe it's January and I have been splashing in fountains all afternoon.  Click on images to see larger size.
