February 4th 2010

Hectic first week back from my hols. Planning some exciting interviews and reviews in the dance World so watch this space!

Photographed a company awards. I usually provide a cd of the shots so the company can use the images in magazines and in house publications
I also photographed a twins 4 year old birthday party with studio shots.
From the age of eight I do advertise photo shoot birthday parties on my web site. A fun and exciting party atmosphere where you experience what it feels like to be a model in your favourite outfits and accessories. A must do for your next birthday!

I am available for any any age birthday parties taken on location or at the family home. There is an option of reportage photographs, studio photos or a bit of both.
I can design a bespoke photobook to treasure and cd's of the photos and prints, canvases etc. are available to purchase. Wonderful lasting memories with competitive pricing.

Diary 2010 31st January

Hello today I am starting a diary to follow my photography work and journalism in the World of Dance and Weddings/social photography.
I have just had three week holiday in Australia to catch up with my sister and family. The weather was beautiful. 30c blue skies and breeze. We watched the tennis did lots of swimming and shopping and went on hols to Mooloolaba. We stayed in an apartment on the 15th floor which had breathtaking views of the sea and hinterland.
My views on Australia

Wide open spaces
vast arc of sky
long long white beaches
blue turquoise ocean
white foaming crests
crashing and curling as surfers ride the waves
------------
Rashees and sun umbrellas
sun cream and sunnies
buckets and spades
sandcastles and boards
boutiques full of colour
strapless,short, long frilly,cocktail, beach dresses galore
shorts and bikinis, jewellery and hats
------------
Fine white sand that crunches underfoot
sand pools to wallow in the warm warm air
crystal clear sea water for snorkelling
A kaleidoscope of fishes and turtles
sharks, manta rays and playful dolphins.
-------------
Tropical rain forests humming with life
Colourful parrots and white cockatoos
Kookaburos and rainbow Lorikeets
Adventure on land and in small flying planes
sand islands, turtle nests and the barrier reef
Palm trees and swimming pools and blue butterflies
Dragon flies and BBQ's and mosquito flies
Juicy ripe mangoes that drip from your chin.
Lychees smooth and white that glisten in the light
sweet divine as the fruit bursts in your mouth
------------
Sitting outside on the terrace with
warmth on your skin and a tea in your hand
The pool below and the tennis to hand
Orange sunsets that fill the sky with a glory of colour then
then they are gone.
The black silky sky and a million stars
A wide eyed posum stealing the bird seed
-------------
Romantic restaurants overlooking the water
Shafts of silvery moonlight on the black inky ocean
Lynne, Angelica Isabella and Pete
All their family and friends that I meet.
I step on an airoplane and all that is gone
A million miles to the warmth and the sun
