He likes to think he is being stealthy… but he has the grace of an elephant… and his snore could wake the dead!

Tonight we celebrated Zoe’s 24th birthday by heading off to the Canberra Openair Cinema to watch ‘The Greatest Showman’ all over again! I could watch it a hundred times and still go back for more! Happy Birthday Zoe!!

New metallic brush pens make Jodi a happy girl!… though being left handed is proving a little bit of an obstacle to overcome… pushing the pen instead of pulling… but practicing is fun!

Holidays are over, and I am excited to be photographing my first little lady for the year today… all ready to go 

day TWENTY SIX | Year NINE | 2018

January 26, 2018

To me the answer is pretty clear… if the date offends the traditional owners of our land – then we change the date… no one is asking us not to celebrate our amazing country… just do it on a different day. So simple.

Us – we had a quiet day with family… water fights, and movies on the couch… finished off with a BBQ dinner… and soon – home made pavlova!

So – Happy ‘Straya Day to all my country-mates… next year, lets pick a date we can ALL celebrate

day NINETEEN | Year NINE | 2018

January 19, 2018

Xanthia… my a-typical millennial… she is all about snap-chat streaks and perfect selfies right now… she is about to embark on her last year of highschool and turns 18 in September so I hold out hope that this social media obsession is coming to and end 

day EIGHTEEN | Year NINE | 2018

January 18, 2018

My favourite part of Christmas holidays, is my ranga’s beard… he take’s the opportunity away from soldiering to let it grow… there is a lot more grey than ginger in it these days… but I will still be sad to see it go in prep for work on Monday.

January 17, 2018

Another girl… and her boy <3

I started re-watching season one of ‘Stranger Things’ while editing today, before I start to watch season two… Willow decided to sit in my office and watch it with me (first time for her)… despite the 41° day we are having, this is how she is watching! #scardycat

day SIX | Year NINE | 2018

January 6, 2018

At 18 years old, with her very first pay cheque, my Great Grandmother bought a box brownie camera… the very first photo she took with that camera, was a self portrait in a mirror… today I am channeling my trend-setting, awesomely progressive, Great Grandma, Alice Ruby 

Grandma Kelly’s photo…

Walter might not be loving his bath… but if he wants to spend these hot days lying inside under the air conditioner, then he needs to stop smelling like a dog 

day FOUR | Year NINE | 2018

January 4, 2018

Dexter… he only sat on the stool as long as I waved food in front of his face… but that doesn’t mean he was going to look at me :/

I couldn’t decide on just one photo today… first we headed to the Arboretum to take some photos of my mum and dad… then we grabbed this one at the end (Darci missed out because she was in Brisbane visiting with her inlaws)

Then there was this shot of the fireworks for New Years Eve… welcome 2018!
