Nephews & things.
Before
After.
Funny how a tiny little baby that doesn’t do much besides sleep, eat & smile a lot, can become such an important part of your life. And that’s just from an Aunty’s perspective!
It’s been 3 months since this little guy entered our lives, and if he’s exceeded my expectations, I can only imagine what his Mama & Papa are feeling. Baby Clay,...

Can you see that vein on my forehead?
I am feeling a teensy weensy bit overwhelmed today. I have so much to do, and not enough time to do it. Mainly, I am running out of spare time to do my photography work while working full time still. I need the rest of the week off immediately, so I can finish my photos without my hair falling out.
Also, I need chips and gravy, badly.

A moment to reflect.
Sometimes, I get so wound up in how I think life should work in my head, I forget that life doesn’t work that way. So when it of course turns out differently to what I’ve planned, what I’ve imagined, I feel completely disgruntled.
This weekend I spent a lot of time ‘thinking’. Not my normal kind of thinking, (which is basically just me thinking up amazing and make...
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...
So, you might have noticed, there are some changes going on around here on my little blog.
I’m one of those people that need to keep things fresh and new, I don’t like to keep the same look for too long - it doesn’t need to be drastic, just a change of some sort. I’m constantly changing the decor around my house, moving details from one room to another etc
It originated...

Anthropologie.
Why you gotta only be in the States? Hmmm? Do you know how many purchases I’d make at you every week? Do you?
No you don’t. Because you are only in the States.
But if you were? This is what I would buy this week. (And if I weren’t poor, after saving for our Wedding, paying bills, and purchasing adorable presents for my adorable nieces who are both turning TWO in a matter of...

Can I just have your attention for a moment?
I mean really, is anyone not totally loving over this guy at the moment?
I think he’d really like Rick & I.
We’d sit around, in the sun, singing acoustic songs, playing guitar, telling inappropriate jokes that only people with decent sense of humors would understand (ie: us) drinking beers, enjoying good food… it would be heaven.
You hear that, Joseph? Can I call you...

Pin Pin Pin Pin
Pinterest is always the perfect source for some inspiration. I have a photo job this weekend, and these little quotes have put me in the perfect frame of mind.
Thank you, Pinners.

Would you like a little more tea?
So, lately, I’ve been collecting tea cups. I’ve never been a coffee person. I’ve always liked tea, but it’s only recently that I’ve started drinking it daily. I feel so… much older now that I drink tea. Is that weird?
Anyway. My beautiful tea cup collection is growing, and I thought I’d share with you guys where I find some of my little unique cups.

Society6 Art Prints
I am all about our house at the moment. All I want to do is finish rooms, redecorate areas and fill frames with gorgeous pictures and prints. I just finished doing a massive spring clean of our wardrobes, and our bedroom is looking pretty put together of late, AND I’ve been given permission from the boy to paint a stripey wall in the lounge room… so that’s probably why all I...

Happy Valentines Day
Happy Valentines Day to my caring, kind, funny & gorgeous fiance. You make me the happiest I’ve ever been, and more than I ever believed I could be.
We already gave each other our presents (PJs & books!), so tonight we are having a corny movie date. I cannot wait.
How are you celebrating Valentines?

January - Photo a Day
Did you guys do the January ‘Photo a Day’ on Instagram too? I’m even doing it again for February, because it didn’t drive me insane and I didn’t forget (too many times anyway) so why not right? I wonder if I’ll finish the month again!
Anyway, here are my photos for January :)
I hope everyone had a great weekend and is enjoying their Monday back at...

Rigby Albus Lavers
Did I ever tell you guys we gave Rigby a middle name? We never did when we first got him. But Brigitte convinced me, Alvy, her puppy, has like 4 names I think, and they always make me laugh so I decided Rigby needed one too.
We went with Albus, because Rick’s initials are RAL so now Riggers are too. And well, Albus, because Harry Potter is Rigbys favourite. I know as you read...

A Celebration
Tonight, Rick and I celebrate, along with all of our friends, the engagement of my best friend Brigitte and her amazing fiance, Wisang.
It’s pretty special getting to be apart of such a loving and exciting time in someones life. I know what it feels like to be inlove, to be engaged, to be planning our special day. But seeing how happy it makes someone else to be in the same position? Gets...

The Weekend
Do you know what’s really great about today? Here, I’ll break it down for you.
Tomorrow is my RDO, hellooo long weekend!
Tonight, in approximately 2.5 hours, my love will walk through our front door.
Today has been dubbed “Harry Potter Thursday”, since I started at 8.30am I have watched the first 3 movies. Oh yeah!
It’s been all sorts of Wedding planning up in...

Rigby
Just a quick update on what Rigby has been up to these past few months. He sleeps a lot right? It’s been pretty hot lately and I think that tuckers my bulldog out.
Awake or asleep, he’s still the cutest in my opinion. I know I’ve made it quite clear that I’m a crazy dog lady before, but I really do think life would suck majorly if I didn’t have him to...

Embarrassing Obsessions
Are there any things in your life, that you absolutely love, that you kind of know you shouldn’t love that much? Like a TV show, a book, a movie? I’ve always been a huge Harry Potter nerd. Always. Rick loves HP too, plus one of my best friends Raquel. So we have our little HP fan club and it’s awesome. So, actually, I don’t feel embarrassed about that because I have...

Art & the Heart Workshop
On the 15th of January, I boarded a flight to Melbourne. On the 16th of January, the Art & the Heart Workshop I was attending began.
The workshop was by Samm Blake and Dan O’Day. Two very talented photographers that I aspire to be like one day. Their work ethic especially. The workshop went for 3 days and I have no doubt in my mind it is one of the best decisions I could have made in...

Flash Back Friday
Stupid o’clock in the Morning, sometime during Winter last year, Brig & Scott came back to our house. The boys all playing PS3 together. This photo makes me smile :)
A random Friday night at my house, again, sometime last year, having group photos together, even Rigby. I love my friends.
A photo of my boy, sleeping next to me on the couch. Again this photo is from last year...

Personal Projects
I’ve mentioned before (here) how I often take photos of my feet. After attending the Art & the Heart Workshop, which I’ll be blogging about soon, I’ve decided to turn this weird feet photographing thing, into a personal project. At the workshop, we were told how important it is to do personal projects as a photographer. Constantly keeping yourself motivated, inspired and in...

Aunty of the Year
Regardless of these actions you see me partaking in in these photos, I am actually a kick ass Aunty. I let my nieces and nephews stay up late, watch awesome movies, and eat all the foods you aren’t supposed to eat, at Breakfast.
I also make awesome pigeon noises, and am always up for playtime. And I have no qualms about being the “cool” Aunty that sneaks drinks when their...

Wrappin'
I’m a big fan of wrapping gifts. Like, big. I have more coloured and patterned ribbons than I care to remember, 20 hunge rolls of kraft paper, and then a “for special occasions only” selection of beautiful printed sheets of wrapping paper.
One of my favourite things about Pinterest, is the great ideas to keep wrapping gifts unique and beautiful.
Some of my favourites that...

Today Rick and I have been together for 5 years and 1 month.
Little anniversary’s count too, you know.
