Dreaming of Summer, while dining on Winter.

It’s true.

I’ve already started planning a dinner under the stars for when it is finally warm.

With candles, a barbeque and a playlist – especially for the evening.

Until then, i can dream with pictures from February this year.

Warm nights, sunshine, short sleeved clothes.

Bring. It. On.

Blue skies. Pink Milk. 15 minutes of our time.

For a beauty-full cause.

And the girl herself, in all her grown up, portraiture-d glory…

Since when did she look this old?!

Just. Go.

Life’s better when you can see the clouds.

On those days when everything is going absolutely the wrong way (AKA TODAY!!), just go.

Turn that music on up really loud. And be. Lie there and be.

If i could form any other words i would. However, i have to keep this short as i am going to kill contact Adobe about getting my Lightroom installed without any issues!

Wish me luck!

Yes, i really am blogging.

My sincere apologies to those who follow my blog and may have wondered if i have dropped off the face of the Earth these past weeks. I haven’t. I am here.

But, i have been so, so busy with school and organising shoots, and birthdays that looking at my blog would flip me into depression over the fact that i haven’t posted in so long.

Today’s photos? Alex.

He’s hasn’t been showing up on my blog as much as you used to for three reasons:

1. He now believes that my camera is some sort of evil..thing and won’t even look at it, let alone hold still for a shot.

2. He knows that “Alex just oneeeee photo…” actually means thirty-one.

3. My bribery skills need work. You can only offer him chocolate so many times before it gets old…

So without anything else to say, here is seven year old Alex:

Which do you like the best of the three?

Another thing: thank-you to all my new followers! If you’re reading this, please take the time to leave a comment if you can :)

And I’ve set up a flickr account in the past week so stop by here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/52598826@N05/ to check it out.

Happy Wednesday..

Three weeks late.

But you know what they say? Better late than never.

I dragged Lucy out, three weeks ago, in her formal dress.

For those of you who are not Australian, formal is equivalent ‘prom.’

Anywho. We got a few overly lovely shots, as well as some serious stares from the driving-by general public. Apparently it’s not normal to stand at a lookout when it’s winter in your formal dress…oh well.

Here we go:

The sun! The sun! The sun!

IMG_5199-2

I love, love, love {did i say love} this shot.

IMG_5248-2 IMG_5235

And i almost cried with joy when i saw this photo. Sun. Flare. How. I. Have. Missed. You.

IMG_5501-2

Then Lucy turned the camera on me. For two quick seconds. Amidst my hyper-ventilating (as seen in my disapproving expression below,) over her using my beloved camera, she got something that turned out non blurry and now that i look at it, quite…creepy.

Me;

IMG_5392-4

Which is your favourite and why?

I hope you have all had wonderful weeks. I know i have..kinda. My best friend got home from Europe today…and after five weeks of not seeing her pretty little face, it was beyond incredible to see her again.

Ella; welcome home snooks.

Happy Thursday.

Oh yes, there is more.

A few more of my favourites:

IMG_5805-2

Did i happen to mention these girls knew exactly how to pose?IMG_6189-2

IMG_5987-2

I love how this one actually looks all summery, vibrant and bright. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Freakin freezing. The camera has a great way of deceiving people. It was eight degrees Celsius.

IMG_6221-2

IMG_6084-2

IMG_6018-2

And one of my all-time favourites – so cute:

IMG_6102-2

And that is that…for now, which is your favourite?

A few other things – head on over to Horse Feathers where the lovely Olivia interviewed me! Make sure you check out her blog, and follow :)

Also, on the side-bar to the right of this blog are the other places ‘Those Bliss Moments’ are featured, so be sure to check those out.

Now, excuse me, my brain is fried..i need chocolate..or coffee.

Hope you are all having wonderful weeks, and hello to all those new follows. Special shout out to the eternally beautiful Kylie, hello munchkin.

Leave me your thoughts on these, and have a great night!

Wet, windy and a whole lot of wonderful.

Meet Leone and Mavournee:

IMG_5708-2

Yesterday. Uh Yeah, yesterday as in…the foggiest day in Adelaide’s history (not really but i most definitely, absolutely felt and looked like it) i joined forces with these two wonderful girls for an epic shoot at the Botanic Gardens.

Yes. It was cold.

But yes, they posed like professionals for almost two hours straight.

And yes, it was so worth it.

Leo and Mav – a huge thank-you to the both of you. Yes, i was there to help too, but without you both in the frame, the picture wouldn’t be as wonderful. Thanks for freezing your fingers off for these.

And another thank-you to Lucy…who held the camera bag, played the music and created some genius ideas.

Ohhh and before i forget, thanks to all those who wished me well with my cold. It turned out to be the flu…….which so was not fun. Anywho - on with the pictures:

One of my favourites:IMG_6070-2

IMG_6284-2

There we have it. 128 favourites narrowed down to 10. This will definitely be the first post of many containing these shots as i have soo many more to share.

Can you pick a favourite?

Have a great week everyone :)

Sweet Distraction.

I have the worst head cold at the moment.

You know those ones that literally render it hard to breathe through your nose? And then you try breathing through your mouth and you start a coughing fit?

Yeah. One of them.

I couldn’t even hire soppy dvds properly today because at the moment my voice resembles that of an animal dying. Not fun.

So basically, I haven’t picked up the camera properly in over two weeks, which is a long time for me, so for now…I am posting some images that were meant to be posted three weeks ago.

So amidst my tissues and Strepsils, I bring you Rosie: Three Weeks late.

Aren’t they lovely? Which is your favourite?

Another something i have been meaning to say, I am excited to be taking the wonderful Leo and Mav’s pictures this coming week, so stay tuned for that.  You can see their shoots so far here!

Apart from all that, i hope you are all having beautiful days.

I heart Faces – Teens only!

I_Heart_Faces_Photography_125

Well. It sure has been a while since I’ve entered an ‘I heart Faces’ challenge. But considering it’s teens only, and Elyssa reminded me. Here we go:

Took me a fair while to decide, because i have so many folders and so many beautiful photos of beautiful people that i am privileged to know. But eventually i decided on this one:

20100622-IMG_3551

It’s my bestest friend in the entire world, whom i love so dearly. I think it’s her green eyes, and the green, green grass that make me stare at this photo just a little longer…

Head on over to IheartFaces for more gorgeous entries!
