I am stronger than I anticipated. I created life in this body of mine, and held the love of my life for the first 9 months of theirs. I was stretched out beyond measures and learnt to function on the littlest amount of sleep I had ever lived on, for months. I held you on my chest after the greatest pain I have ever experienced and smiled as I looked at the gentle rise and fall of your chest on mine. I woke up night after night to tended to your needs at all hours. I counted all your fingers and toes as you drifted to sleep and I thought… Keep Reading
Holiday Snaps – {Tasmanian Photographer}
My family and I just spent a few relaxing days away camping on the East Coast of Tasmania. While the weather left a lot to be desired (typical unpredictable Tasmanian Summer), we still had a lovely time just chilling out. I decided before I left that I wanted to leave my camera at home. I have to admit that I am regretting it a little bit but I did capture some lovely photos with my iPhone. Here are a couple of before and afters that I edited in Photoshop… With both images I increased contrast and saturation. I also increased exposure and added some warmth. The first photo’s focus is… Keep Reading

The Wondrous West Coast… {Tasmanian Photographer}
I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful state. When I need to escape I have so many wonderful places to go. This time we decided to take the boys to Strahan, on the west coast of Tasmania. This is a place that both hubby and I have childhood memories of. Seeing as though we hadn’t been to this part of the state since we were children we thought it would be great to go and see how much it had changed. We stayed at Risby Cove’s waterfront accommodation. How lovely it was to be so close to the water and to be able to watch the sunset. The… Keep Reading

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away” Today…My 29th Birthday… I woke to “Good Morning Birthday Girl” from my 6 year old… A phone call from my hubby… Lovely birthday messages online… A beautiful text from a friend that made me cry… Time with my family… A handmade card from my niece… And last but not least a special photo session with my 10 year old son behind the camera 🙂 (I got told off too – “Mum, I want you to smile better than that”) Photos taken by my son Jakeb and post processing by me…

Turning 6 … {Hobart Child Photographer}
This morning I took my new prop, my 50mm lens (it’s a bit neglected these days) and my littlest boy to this lovely location. I feel very lucky that this location is the site where we will be building our new home. Last week Kodi turned 6 and whilst it’s sad that my “baby” is growing up, I am enjoying watching him grow into the person he is becoming. He is a gorgeous, sweet and caring little boy. And yes like every child he has his moments but deep down he has the kindest heart. I cherish his morning cuddles and his kiss goodnight when I tuck him in. My… Keep Reading
