Photo A Day – My List


January 24, 2015

Hello Everyone!  Hope you are having a lovely Australia Day long weekend.  I have some fun news to report and of course it is all about taking photos!  This week MY list is the list on the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge!  Yay.  The first year that Chantelle started Photo a Day I did not miss a day.  Since then I have been a little bit more relaxed and joined for a month here and there.  

In 2015 Chantelle has changed things up a bit and is now creating weekly lists so you can join for a week if you like   Of course you can still join for a month or all year!  Such a great challenge to help with your creativity with your camera and photography skills.  

So here is my list – you can see how Photo a Day works by visiting Chantelle’s blog Fat Mum Slim – she has so much great stuff to read about that is also not photography related!  

On another exciting note if you have always wanted to get hold of Chantelle’s Little Moments App which is the perfect tool for joining the Photo A Day Challenge then you want to take up this offer as it is free TOMORROW.  A little Australia Day gift from Olympus.  Visit here to get the link.

Thanks Chantelle for asking me to take part!!

Family Favourites


January 20, 2015

Some days you just capture them and some days things just don’t go as planned – this day was one of those happy days where the light was lovely, the girls were happy and things clicked!  The balloons, water and warm weather didn’t go astray either!  Happy days with my three and just 5 minutes with my camera

February/March Photography Workshops


January 19, 2015

Time for round two of my Photography Workshops which were a great success in October and November of 2014.  If you are a keen photographer, have a new camera or just really want to know how to get the most from your DSLR then this course is for you.   I have two dates available – Friday 22nd February or Sunday 1st March 2015

My course runs for 4 hours and I limit the numbers so there is only a few participants, all able to ask questions and get specific with what they want to know.  We will go over the fundamentals of shooting manual with your camera and have loads of shoot time so you really feel you have grasped how to get the perfect shot.

After a delicious lunch we will look at editing and I will go through the process of bringing your photograph to life for the internet or print.  

Visit the workshop page of the website to book your spot – workshops are all held in my home studio in the northern suburbs of Sydney.

Please email if you have any more questions.

Cookbook Crush – Almond Berry Pancakes


January 13, 2015

I have had a serious cookbook crush lately and can’t get enough of finding and creating new recipes.  Two of my absolute favourites at the moment are Pete Evans Family Food and Healthy Every Day.  I use these two books at least 3-4 times a week when preparing a meal.

These almond and berry pancakes were a treat for breakfast and are made with such nutritious ingredients like almond meal, cinnamon and coconut flour.  Team it with your favourite almond milk berry smoothie and you will not need anything else until dinner.  You can find them in the Healthy Every Day Cookbook on page 17.

Photography Traditions


January 11, 2015

Last year I took on the challenge of taking a photo of my three girls together every week.  I am happy to report that I succeeded with this challenge and have 52 shots of my beauties ready to print out in a photo book.  Here is a look at the last shot and the first shot for 2014 – it is great to see how they have grown and changed over the year.   This end of year photo has now become a bit of a tradition so here is a look a the past four years all taken in the same spot on our back patio.
