did i do that?

I have an announcement to make...

I've been off tending to my new and exciting adventure...

 

True to form, I go off on creative tangents every now and then which is the reason scrapbooking has been a big part of my life for the last three years.   Whilst I am still scrapbooking and teaching, the main thing that is keeping me out of trouble has become photography.  

After doing a few family portrait shoots for friends, and at the insistence of my own family and friends, I decided to take the plunge and do a Nike!!

It is taking off!  So thank you to all who've encouraged me and had faith in me because doubting myself is the only thing that has held me back in anything I do.

Have a peek at the website  here.  There are forms on there that you can use that will go directly to my email if you are interested in booking a session.

I'm still learning and fudging my way along and post-processing is becoming a way of life.  I just know I'm going to look back on my earlier efforts and cringe.  Oh well... for the moment my clients are happy and that is the main thing.  Nothing wrong can come from striving to be better at whatever I do.

 Here are a few pics from a recent shoot...  Gorgeous family...

 

On the scrapbooking front, here is the layout we did last month for Dimensional Pop at Scrapbooks etc.

Now with all of that business out of the way, does anyone even visit my blog any more since I've been sorely neglecting it?

Does it mean that I can undo my top button and chillax for a bit?

Ok, just testing...

Just having a fiddle with some digi stuff. 

Pretty cool huh... Ok, over it.   Moving on...

Boy, oh boy...

I've been taking a few pics... and every time I do, I learn something new.  I am having a blast!!! I am getting bookings, bookings and more bookings.  Word of mouth and exposure is a powerful thing and now there is something brewing in the wings...  Watch this space!!!

I took photos of this wonderful family a couple of weeks back.  I love how they played the game and they were up for anything.  Great location too...

 

Lots and lots of pics... Here are some of the kids.

 


Mum and the girls...

I love the sunlight at this time of the day...  Thanks for being PERFECT subjects, Sharon and Family!!!

Anyway, Girlfriend and I went to see the Imperial Russian Ballet perform Swan Lake.  Breathtaking.  Beautiful.  We hung out at West End, South Bank and the Wheel of Brisbane.  Went on the hunt for locations and took a few pics.  Here are some of them...

Ooopppssss!!! Sorry folks!!! I snapped an unsuspecting but very cute nip...

We stopped for lunch in West End.  I love this girl!

I had to take this...
 
 

 

There are a few more on Facebook...

Anyway, I've been playing around and experimenting with a few actions... My cup of tea isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea so let me know which effects  you like best..

Or...  Same texture, different action...

Or... (He thinks either of these is the Shizz...) Haaah! Lesson #213 of "How to Get Your Teenagers to Think You are Cool"

Or... the grunged up, textured one...

Well???? 

Anyway, if you are in the Brisbane region and would like some family pics, kids, teenagers, pets, etc. Please contact me on the above email to arrange something.  BTW... I have just acquired a very cool prop that I am just itching to use!!! 

And for those of you who think I have given up the ghost in the scrapbooking arena, here is a sneak peak into this month's Dimensional Pop at Scrapbooks etc.  If you are attending any one of this month's THREE classes, your materials list and photo details are on the sidebar on the right.

I have many, many more shares to show you but I will call it here for now.  I have a holiday dance workshop to get Girlfriend to.

Au Revoir!!! Pipp Pip and toodles.  See ya Ron. Ciao. Haera Ra and Boi!
