Happiness…

These two just have it in spades!

Total naturals in front of the camera.  I mean, look at those gorgeous eyes!  Matt and Shiann are intelligent, funny and super special.  I know they are going to have a wonderful life together.

Thank you both for spending a whole morning with me to capture the love you two share.  It was a wonderful day!

Sneak Preview – Shiann and Matt

I got the wonderful opportunity to do an engagement session for Shiann and Matt this morning.  They have been together since high school, a perfect couple who complement each other so well.  I couldn’t wait to share a sneak preview of these two!

Both love to read.  We chatted about books for ages!  Shiann loves the classics and both like fantasy.  Matt is a serious, quiet guy, but you can see how much he adores his bride to be.  The two are as magical together as the books they read.

Aren’t those red shoes absolutely scrumptious?  Shiann knew she wanted to wear red for her  engagement party, the shoes came along at a perfect time for her.

 

We just had SUCH a ball today!  I could easily have photographed this beautiful pair all day.

I will post more images of this session as soon as I am done.

A Holiday Outing

I am sorry I haven’t posted the last few days.  Seems one of the large crowd of guests at the wedding passed along something that made me ill enough that my husband insisted I stay in bed for a few days.  My voice still sounds a bit like a duck being strangled, but I am almost back on my feet.

The kids have been really patient, with us not really going out much these holidays.  We went to the Melbourne Museum today with a friend of my son’s.  The kids had such a ball!  So many new exhibits…  The museum so is magical to the kids, with fabulous interactive displays aimed specifically at their age group.  And where else can you experience such a blissful scene in the middle of the city?

We started in the section about the mind.  All three lay down to experience ‘dreaming’.

The section is really intriguing (and a little scary at times).  There are sections about the history of mental research

To how the mind works in solving puzzles.  The kids loved the puzzles and illusions especially.

The dinosaurs are of course always a hit

but they all loved the new section about mammals.

I just loved this beautiful quote.

The kids spent ages chasing this light lizard across the floor.  I thought it was gorgeous!  Really had a three dimensional feel to it.

I will post some more images tomorrow.  We went into the Australian history section for the first time today and the kids really loved it!

Weddings

I got to go to a beautiful wedding on Saturday.  I just love the whole ceremony and beauty of a wedding.

The bride looked gorgeous.  I grabbed this shot as the little flower girl took the rings to the pastor.  I love how there is so much going on in the image.  (And can’t you just see how the groom adores his bride?)

Fix It Friday - i Heart Faces

This week’s challenge has the most gorgeous little girl in such a classic, endearing pose.  (From The Lucas Zoo)

I played around with a few ideas.

 

Then I just changed the crop again, just a little.

More fixes when you click on the link.

Kids are in bed, busy day tomorrow for us, so think I will sneak off to bed early as well!

Easter Blessings

The kids had such a fun time searching for eggs.  I must be getting old, I struggled to keep up!

I also got them these fun electronic eggs that call out periodically.  Best buy of the season!  They have been hiding the eggs from each other for the last two hours, taking turns hunting them. 

Too much sugar and exhaustion has caught up now though, so time for bath and bed.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Easter filled with hope and happiness.

Train Station

Late at night lots of people get off the train with me, but no-one is waiting for the next train.

Seconds later the V-Line train came charging through. (Express train to towns further from the city)
