Some things I like right now

Here are some of the things I like right now...

Being a passenger on this bike and riding through the hinterlands, makes me miss dirt biking.

This guy.

Of course this guy too. I am loving this face right now too!

This guy again and his warm uggs.

Homemade tortillas. Thanks Amy for teaching me to make them, yum.

And, of course, a beautiful sunrise on the way out to our secret fishing spot.

Unedited wedding photos

A girl from my soccer team just got married. She asked me to take the photos. I haven't edited them, so they aren't spectacular, but here are a few (it takes forever to download in Australia, they claim that it will soon get faster, but we'll see) Enjoy...

I have better dance photos, but thought that was funny

Showing off her pregnant belly

I love this sequence, but it is out of order, sorry.

Flashbacks

Old friends...no matter how much time has passed, you always seem to pick up right where you leave off. I had the most wonderful suprise last week, my friend Jenny(who I hadn't seen in over 10 years) and her brother Matt (also a good friend) came up to visit me. Unfortunately, it has been raining for two weeks straight, and the conditions were less than favourable, but they were such troopers. It made my entire month seeing them. Feels like no time has passed. Such a blessing. Here are some photos from the reunion...

At the lighthouse
Telling stories of the history of Byron Bay...so fascinating!

The most easterly point (I have too many of these type of photos to count)

Soaking wet, but ready for the next adventure.

Thanks Jenny and Matt for the wonderful times, can't wait to meet up for our next meeting in either Sydney or New York.

Gavin is one!

Greetings to you all out there...if anyone is still out there, that is. I have decided that my blog needs a bit more pizazz in order to appeal to any viewers. But, I have been a bit busy with school, which means my camera has been put away in my closet for over a week. So sad. I did dust it off, however, to capture the life of the most exciting subject...Gavin...who is now a year old. Enjoy!

Looking for his belly button.
Look guys, it's right here, quit asking me.

Wait, is it really still there?

Gavin's friend Dougan. He loves his puppy.

Gavin is always very interested in my camera. The lens has lots of gavi finger prints on it!

He has learned to be a ham for the camera.

He knows how to stand, but doesn't want us to know...here he is caught in the act.

Giving Dougan a cuddle while brushing his teeth.

He has become a master noodle slurper.

He knows how to brush his own teeth too!

Okay, enough from the proud auntie...I will be shooting my very first wedding this weekend(besides the assisting I did for my sis and bro in laws)...yikes...I will post the photos when I get a chance. Hope life is treating you well, you are all in my thoughts!

Some random stuff

Here are some random photos.... Enjoy

Wategos beach, Byron Bay

The sun shining through the rain.

Watching the sunset from the rooftops

Oops, I moved the camera, but I got this cool shot.

Watching the sunset in the hills.

I've always wanted my very own waterfall

This morning I was awaken by the fourth consecutive day of rain. I have become accustomed to the sound of rain on the roof, that suddenly intensifies as though someone has decided to turn up the pressure of the shower head. When it decides to rain at this rate (and you live on a hill) there are bound to be a few problems. Our downhill neighbour isn't too happy to be receiving our water, but he somehow doesn't realise that we are receiving water from our uphill neighbour too. Funny how gravity works! The best part about it all, is that I have a waterfall in my backyard. I have hiked many miles to see beautiful waterfalls, and now I have one of my very own.

Ankle deep in some spots.

Although the chickens have been flooded out, they decided to lay their first egg.

Water seeping through the fence of our uphill neighbours.

Water draining downhill.

Luckily Reggie put in a pathway through the flood.

A view from under my umbrella.

The fence is turning green from all the rain.

Another view from the umbrella.

Gavin's pool is full and ready for a swim.

And as always, a few pics of my favourite subject. 7 teeth and 11 months old.

A view without colour

Although I feel that vibrant colours in an image are beautiful, there is something nostalgic about a photo in black and white. Children become more angelic and the feeling of the moment is more apparent. I am experimenting with black and white photos, so any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love the subjects in these photos, they have so much character and imagination.

This little guy makes me smile every day.

Right when I showed up at her house she wanted to show me this outfit, it was all she asked for for her birthday, KK the kangaroo.

This photo reminds me of the 50's, maybe it's the stove. KK waiting to go to her first day of Kindy.

Such an angel girl.

This little guy is a future artist, he kept giving me suggestions of photos to take, of course he wanted me to take them of him:)

Going on walkabout

My brother is so funny

Shnausy

One of the funniest kids I've ever met.
