What a gorgeous little man with an infectious smile. Best wishes for your first birthday today.

Safe and secure in dad’s arms.

A few photos from today’s Cake Smash for Jack to celebrate his first birthday. He was enthusiastic at both eating and creating a mess. Great life skills for any toddler to master.

Sometimes special people come into your life, brighten your day and make a lasting impression. Thanks for your friendship X

The great thing about working for myself is I get the chance to freeload on my husband’s work trips occasionally. Had an excellent time exploring the Daintree and the Reef … and with photos taken by the dive team, I even got a break from my camera.

I had the great pleasure of photographing a few rehearsals of the ballet dancers from Joyce King Dance when I was in New York. Committed, athletic and graceful dancers.

One of my favourite images was at the end when I asked each of the dancers to give me a pose. Danelle’s gymnastics background shines through in her strong pose.

I’m on a bit of a cleaning out and archiving mission with my catalogue of 220,000 photos at the moment. I’ll be posting some random favourites as I go.

This was in a ski town in Vermont and the old signage seemed to hark back to grander days.

Such a wonderful privilege to lead a full life and celebrate a birthday with family and friends who have been part of your journey.

I’m sitting at my desk editing this morning … wearing a scarf and beanie indoors for goodness sake. Not happy with this cold weather. A photo to give us hope that Summer will return.
