Dreamy dreams

Is it a girl thing, do we just automatically have a disposition to be calm, quiet creatures?  There could be a few scoffers out there questioning my question, but since photographing  the littlest of littles (newborns) I have come to the conclusion that girls, can be a little tricky to go to sleep, however whilst asleep no matter the situation, they never say peep, open their eyes, complain... they just quietly dream dreamy dreams and do exactly as I ask.  The little men seem to sense my presence and play hard to get, eyes open, a yawn or two, perhaps a few poops!!!  Men huh!!!!!!  (wink wink)  Anyhow Miss T in all her glory was a dreamy girl.  I had the pleasure of snapping this beautiful bundle whilst in her Mummy's tummy.   Thank you to two very cool parents and one wonderful little brother!!!  Your family is gorgeous!!!  

Sooo a sneak peek with more to come soon!!!!

New Life

How beautiful it is.  We don't realize how precious these new lives are until we feel that first kick, that first squirm, the first hiccup.  We don't realize how much love we will have for this amazing new life until we hold them in our arms, soothe their cries, smile at their toes.  Today I met a mum to be who glowed with love for the bundle she is carrying.  Her perfect little bump a reminder to me of how beautiful pregnancy and new life can be... uh oh look out I'm getting clucky.  Lisa, thank you for braving the cold and smiling the whole way through.  Hot chocolates didn't curb the ice however you and little daisy were troopers.  A sneak peak for you!!  

Country music and Hannah Montana

I guess I'm an everything and all kinda gal (thats my country voice).  Music is a big part of my secret world, the secret world of singing as loud as I possibly can, believing that if Simon Cowell could hear me now he would totally give me that golden ticket to hollywood.  My girls cringe at my secret world as they play a major part!!!  My recording studio is usually moving (our car)  whilst I ruin the Hannah Montana soundtrack (much to the horror of my children, whom are now on the band wagon with 50 million other little girls) My history with country music has been limited, with the exception of my brother in law who would sadly not receive a ticket to Hollywood... sorry D.  Now the days of living in the Caymans with D crooning to the likes of Garth Brooks gives me happy thoughts and I can truly say that I will now no longer laugh at cowboy boots and tassled shirts as I think I quite love country music!!! A few shots to add to the post, taken sometime ago but just like country music, revisited and totally appreciated!!!!

Cool very Cool

Times in our lives we meet, good, cool people.  I met good cool people and shared some big laughs... this has to be short but I want to say thank you to some people who made me belly laugh today.  Can't wait till November when these two say I DO!!!

Because Someone's Gotta

Sometimes in life you have to give back a little.... well if not a little then a lot.  I have been blessed with 3 of the most amazing girls, I could seriously not ask for more.  When I lay my head down at night I am grateful and humbled at how lucky I am, I truly am so so lucky.  There are many little heads laying down each night asking why me, wishing their sickness or disability away.  I want to make all their wishes come true but sadly my magic wand can not grant all.  So I want to give back the best way I know how.  For me this way is through My art, My photography.  I would think it all worth while if I could just grant one sick wee person their magic wish.  About 15 days ago I entered a photo into a competition.  Canon's creative for a cause competition.  I have begged borrowed and pleaded to anyone I can reach to go to the link and vote.  Vote for a cause that grants so many wishes to so many sick kids.  Make a Wish Foundation is my charity of choice and if I can accumulate a HUGE amount of votes I then get a chance to make a few more wishes come true in the form of $25,000.  I want to thank EVERYONE who has taken the time to click the link and help me and lots of sick kiddies out!!  I am once again humbled at the support so thank you!!!   Here is the shot that I have entered, here is the link to vote.  Please vote it only takes a second.

CANON CREATIVE FOR A CAUSE 

The best ever

I  get the best looking people to take photos of!!!!  Nah nah na na na..... Yesterday it was cold.... seriously cold, what a surprise!!!  My feet were damp, my nose was a stunning shade of purple.  Rushing into my new favorite location I bumped into my session.  Now I thought I had the travel thing mastered having trooped around the world with my children in tow I prided myself if we made it to our destination without juice boxes spilt and tantrums.  So after 3 hours in a car you would expect two little people to perhaps be frazzled and DONE.... however I had the bestest, sweetest little gems this side of cutesville smiling, happy, carefree and not a inch of spilt juice!! Thank you to the most patient parents who were a delight to meet.  I truly hope you enjoy your shots and hope our paths cross again.

Now feast your eyes on these beauties!!!!
