Leica Love

Words cannot express the surge of excitement I felt from the first caress of this camera. Lucky I had my glorious friend Viktoria with me when I purchased it. I am positive there is not another person on the planet who would be so excited about exchanging money for such a seemingly insignificant little black treasure. She didn't even laugh when I told her I make it up a little bed each night next to mine












Thank you Colin at FotoRiesel for bringing me together with my little M6....goodnight Viktoria and goodnight M6 treasure

Arabelladidit....a preview

 A sneak peak from a shoot I have just done with my ridiculously talented sister Alex and my new friends (also ridiculously talented) Peta and Tanya.

Thank you also so the goldenhearted Sean Paul Ryan for letting me pop your modelling virginity. I see big things in your future

And to the wonderful Geoffro for lending us his talented hands and boosting team morale on the day.

A really fun shoot with a super group of people, can't wait to work together again soon.

The last few weeks...

Life has been manic over the last few weeks. All of a sudden I wake up and the shops are selling Santa treats and bon bons. It's scary how quickly time flies, I have lost count of how old I am as it seems the next birthday always is just around the corner. Being busy is great, but sometimes you have to stop and let your body rest, your mind rest and make sure your not missing out on the important things in life like watching clouds and laughing till it hurts with friends and family.

Although the last few months have been ridiculously busy, I did get to go home to the farm for a rest and a much needed run in the hills. I drank too many beers with my dad, had plenty of mum hugs, had long chats with my grandma and warmed my brother's new house. It was wonderful.

The amount of km's I have travelled lately I don't even want to know. Being away from home is excting as it is lonely. Hotel beds are soft, but they are missing essential ingredients like a kitten on your feet and a pair of all embracing arms to fall into and melt the day away.

There has been fashion shoots in Darwin (think 3+ showers a day, dying hardrives, fun with Ash and Jamie, lovely models, stylist extrodinaire Jo Moo, breakfast beers, Bunnings adventures, client Dan-the-rain-maker-man, beautiful Australian landscape and lots of laughter and exhaustion.

There was fashion in Wollongong ( think standing on a cliff at sunrise - gail force winds and model teetering on edge with 6inch stilletos, catching walkers unawares in the Botanical gardens with semi-naked model)

Newcastle Editorial shoot for up and coming designer Alex Robinson of Arrabelladidit (Think gorgeous model Peta Serras , stunning make up by the talented Tanya at Chic Artistry, thanks to Talbert for lending us his muscles and Diddy for popping his modelling virginity with us)

Food and Lifestyle Shoot for Stephanie Alexander and GPT at B2 studios Sydney (Think reserved parking space next to the incredible Kane Skennar and Jez Smith (let me know if you ever need an assistant guys), heated/massaging/bide toilets, great crew and catering that was coming out our ears )

Royal Apartments Penthouse photography (think fun with Mel, ocean views and Coco Republic)

And these are just the adventures I can think of right now, there are many more stories and many more pictures. Life is good.
