Yep – this is the only thing i took a photo of today… I needed to prove to the vendor that the men’s XL ‘Edgar Allen Poe’ t-shirt they sent me, was not the junior S ‘Horse’ t-shirt I actually ordered! lol

After a long, long day at work, I love coming home to our own house! <3

First day in my new job… last month’s ACT election bought about a lot of change – including my new role in the Legislative Assembly… now an advisor to a veteran MLA… I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into all that the next four years bring!

Another day, another gorgeous model due in my studio <3

It’s a full bus for a trip to the Yass Rodeo! We organised with Willow’s friends to surprise her and join us for a birthday outing… they all meet at the local shops and hid in the aisle until we walked in! It was brilliant… I love it when a plan comes together!

Happy 14th Birthday Willow!… first, we had dinner at Jamie’s Italian Restaurant in the city… then, as requested by the birthday girl, it was dessert at Max Brenner in Belconnen!

You can’t tell from looking at her here… but Willow just took a tumble… a kangaroo jumped out and startled her horse… horse bucked and off went Willow 🙁 That’s two falls she’s racked up now… but she is undeterred and just loves the horses so much.
… so that just leaves me to quietly go about, worrying and catastophising!

I swear I tidy this desk… sometimes… but it always looks like this!!

Christmas mini shoots are done and dusted… just in time for Gertie to move in!

Setting up for my Christmas mini shoots… and help is help, right? … beggars can’t be choosers! (note: that’s Gertie’s butt sticking out from under the bed – I’m not sure she is being much help at all!)

Home made Nutella doughnuts… Xanthia says “This is why I love you, mum”

Xanthia, in her natural environment… oh the horror!

These three get way more excited for Halloween than is healthy, I think!

Zoe was away, visiting her boyfriend in Melbourne, but the rest of us headed to the movies… ‘Dr Strange’ for the win!

Taking these two home via the car wash was an inspired idea… I just stood back and the car was washed!

School drop-off in my silky pj’s… coz that’s how I roll.

The view from my desk… how is a girls meant to get any work done!?

In this house, apparently we cherish ‘ugly cute’ above all else…

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the view from our front verandah <3

Tonight we celebrated Darci’s 21st birthday with friends and family… ad this awesome cake!

Gertie’s newborn photo session… she’s a bit older than my regular clients, but she rocked it anyway!

Well, if my ranga wants to come to bed late every night, he is going to get replaced, right? … it’s to be expected!

So… this is the only photo I took today – a pic of the whiteboard I want to sell! #boring

It seems Miss Gertie has taken a shine to running full pelt across my desk and settling on the other side… little menace! #ohbutthatface

What a beautiful day to witness, and photograph, the marriage of Cameron and Joel <3 … now it’s time to let my hair down with my ranga!

On the road to Tumburrumba! … looking forward to photographing an old Army friends wedding tomorrow <3

Back in bed with my snuggle bunny <3

Darci’s 21st birthday present has finally arrived! Meet ‘Gertie’ the Persian kitten <3

After buying a house with very few internal doors, it was very exciting to put one back in! This is the doorway between my office/studio and the kitchen… those girls are way too noisy for there to be no door here!

For a totally freaky looking cat… he is a little bit handsome.

Taking my new hair… and my hubby… out for a night on the town!… only joking – we’re actually off to a Dining in Night with the Chief of Army… but, beggars can’t be choosers, so bring it on!

I got new hair… and I freakin’ LOVE it!! #mermaidhairforthewin

Marty is not very good company in bed… but he does keep me warm, I guess 😉

Happy 21st Birthday Darci!! … out to dinner at Walt & Burley to celebrate the occasion!

Driving home from Bendigo, we took a bit of a detour to visit Becca & Karl and their adorable new addition, Cleo!

On the road to Bendigo to watch the AFL Grand Final with the family… C’ARN the SWANNIES!!

Postscript: We Lost 🙁 #waahhhh
This is the view from my front veranda… my desk looks straight out across this… perfection <3
