yet to come.............

Can't really believe the month that has been October. 9 weddings this month and each one has literally floored me with laughter and some of the most emotional experiences to date.

I have been challenged in ways I thought not possible but the rewards have been off the charts. "working" very long hours is the new norm and will continue well into 2011. Strangely....it's ok because I have the most incredible little team around me that keep everything ticking along. Pete, Heather, Nat and Philly Will, you are all ridiculously talented and all great friends - thank you!!!!

Here is what is on it's way soon...... lots of very special people that make these images look so pretty!! And anyone who happens to watch the TODAY show - tune in tomorrow morning, a couple of people below might just make a feature xx












**3 people I like very much**

Saying goodbye

Quite a mixed up day of happy news and very very sad news.......Last night I learnt that my one and only photography mentor/teacher and my very first employer of 9 years is terminally ill and dying of cancer.

Known as Norm to me, David Coward was one of the most successful photographer’s in Canberra for at least a 30-year span. I started working for him when I was just 17. Norm supported me through my photography studies, taught me all there was to know in photography and took me under his wing. I learnt everything from the ground up and spent a many a day working in his darkroom where I’m sure I annoyed him with my many questions.

Norm and his lovely wife Bev, became family to me....He is why I am here today and all my success is really because of this man. He got me through 3 long years of study, told me I could get through it, told me to hang there when I doubted my ability and lacked confidence.

So....early tomorrow morning I will be on a plane to fly to him and say my goodbyes. 17 years worth of memories and history – how will I possibly summarise this in a tearful goodbye??

...and then there were 2

I have a couple more coming your way soon..... 2 weddings, 2 days of smashing people - makes for some fun blog posts

Maria & Johnny

I was hoping to squeeze one more wedding in before going all "new" on the blog.

I photographed Maria & Johnny recently and so many waves of emotion surrounding this day. Many many happy tears were shared but that moment where Johnny walked along the red carpet to meet Maria half way before they got married.....had me hiding behind my camera!

Two of nicest, warmest, most loveliest people are Maria & Johnny. It was an absolute pleasure to be there and experience both their beautiful families coming together.
