Our Easter Break

Family time and relaxation aside, I was most looking forward to keeping my camera by my side and casually photographing the kids. The Metung holiday house was gorgeous - we hardly wanted to leave it. We had never visited that part of Victoria before either, ...

More New York… really?

Yes, those New York posts haven't ended yet. My little blog that I love so much has been a bit neglected the last few weeks. Sometimes life just gets in the way. We had some dear friends visit from the UK who we hadn't seen for two years, the kids had sch...

New York Continued

Our holiday is starting to feel like a distant dream, so I thought I should post a few more photos from New York to reminisce. Many people have asked me what lenses I used for all my holiday shots. Mostly, I was walking around with my 50mm f/1.2. They do lo...

Random New York

I promise my New York posts will end eventually. Here are just some randoms from around NYC. My big girl. Museum of Modern Art. Will. Walking home from MOMA. More buskers. This guys was INCREDIBLE. Wheeled his piano into the middle of Was...

Jazzy and Central Park

Jaz and I had a girly day in New York -- shopping, photo-taking, video-making, lunch at the Time Warner Center and then walking hand in hand through Central Park. I LOVE having one-on-one days with my babes. We always stop for buskers. The kids love...

Brooklyn Bridge

New York was the one place I had my camera permanently turned on. I love urban spaces and I loved New York and I couldn't stop taking photos. On a bitterly cold Sunday we caught the subway to the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge and walked across it. T...

Top of the Rock

New York - what can I say? Simply amazing. One week and we barely touched the sides. The kids and I spent the entire week with our cameras in hand. Jaz and Will made awesome little videos on the trip complete with commentary (very cute). Before we hit Ang...

Santa Barbara

We are home from our super-fab family holiday. This post is being written at 3.35am - so jetlag is alive and well. The trip was incredible - everything we had imagined and more for our first o/s holiday with the kids. They travelled so well - long flights, ...

Disneyland

We could hardly take a trip to the US without making a stop at Disneyland. I am a little anti theme park, and with the weakest of stomachs most certainly am anti-rides. But this was 3 days we needed to have for the kids and it was everything that Disneyland pr...

Bryce Canyon to Grand Canyon

As we were driving out of Bryce Canyon en route to Grand Canyon, we tried the view one more time to see if visibility had improved. No, it hadn't, but was beautiful nonetheless. The drive from B.C. to G.C. was loooooong and boooooooring. It all look...

Bryce and Zion

We are on Day Two of Disneyland, which is so gorgeous. I really wish I lived in a cottage a-la Snow White. After a morning of Disney fun Dave takes the older two for the more adventurous rides and I take Imi back to the hotel to give her a rest. It has given...

Red Rock Canyon

A little out of chronological order here. We took a very quick trip from Vegas out to Red Rock Canyon hoping to catch the sunset, but after a super long day of WPPI and shopping and swimming and site-seeing, we made it out there with one minute to spare and th...

Bryce Canyon

With a title like that, you might think there would be photos of Bryce Canyon in this blog post. This holiday has been planned for a veeeerrrrryyyy long time. So 24hrs later, we still cannot work out, how on earth we did not realise we would be visiting B...

Las Vegas

I had every intention of blogging a photo a day of our travels. What was I thinking?! Particularly in Vegas. There is just so much to do. The days have been full of photography goodness at WPPI, the nights have been very late - keeping the kids up to enjoy...

A Morning to Myself

After a marathon four days of workshops, two in Melbourne and two in Sydney, I treated myself to a morning of mooching around the Rocks in Sydney. I remembered so clearly the time my mum had brought me and my brothers and sister here for a holiday. We stayed...

Holidays at the Coast

At least once a year we take the 10hr drive north to holiday with my mum and Tony, where they retired on the South Coast of NSW. The kids love it. We love it. Everything moves so much slower -- time, people, cars -- the kids even sleep in for no apparent re...

The Weekend

We have just had such a relaxing weekend in the Yarra Valley with our gorgeous friends. Tuesday and I were shooting a wedding there, so we turned it into an entire weekend of fun and chill out time. The cabins we rented were adjoining with a massive verandah...
