Check this out! So very excited to be a part of this!

Adding this link for a layout too!

A Perfect Family

Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Annette and her family and got to photograph them. They are just such a beautiful, perfect family, so loving and happy! Here are a few of the photos, (there's still heaps more to come Annette).

Building!

Very quickly, because Lisa wants to see -



See something in the bokeh?



Yep, the stumps for our new house!







Then the floor!





And the littlest builder who is on light duties - "The bigger ones can do the heavy parts!" He would also like Lisa to know its not finished yet!!! "Tell her we've got lots more parts to put on it"!! In case you couldn't tell!

Almost warmer

The almond trees blossom this time every year as it starts to get a little warmer, a little promise of better things to come.





And some of the boy -



This one was taken in his bedroom which has a large north facing window. I'd been taking them of him a little further back not directly in the sun when he moved forward and gave me this. Too good to miss though I knew his hair and shoulder would be blown. Turned out to be a good thing thankfully because its not often you get a look like this. Just the wall behind him, I do have a backdrop but I've never used it!



One good thing about winter, the lush green grass! Trying to capture it while I can because it will all be dead soon enough with stage 4 water restrictions still in. The little rocking chair was mine when I was a child, given to me by my grand parents, cute huh!



He looks kinda comtemplative here and he is, contemplating how he can get off the chair lol! He won't walk barefoot on grass which can be handy if you don't want him to move for a bit!

These just make me happy -





He gets the cheesiest smile happening when he gives me flowers, its sooo cute!

And just to show he doesn't always swan around with a photogenic look on his face! -



Still cute though.

There's more on Flickr, you can click the thingy on the side, it shows the newest ones (well it does after a while anyway). I'm pretty sure thats all anyone comes here to see, certainly not for my words which I just struggle to get out. I'm actually trying to decide whether its worth keeping up with a blog or not... really not sure. Layouts I guess, might post some next time.

Cover Boy!

Just amazing! Made me so very happy! (right when I really needed it too!)
And for those who haven't seen the mag here are my layouts too -







And some photos


Yeah, he glows in the dark! This one is at Braeside Park, right near where I grew up. We started walking down to the wetlands but the little man couldn't so we headed to the playground where he found this fun spinning thing! Jordy and I spent last week in Melbourne, attempting to destress a little.



Pom Pom's placemat on his head, he loves these placemats, he and Bianca fight over them! They both even try to take them to Southland, god knows what for!





I get a lot of this upsidedown-ness when the camera is out!







Bought him this while we were down from Ikea. It spins and he can pull the cover down and hide in it!



By the river



Also by the river with the sunset glowing on the water and cliff behind him.

Some Photos

Just some photos


Cold weather beginning


Jordan's 4th Birthday


More Puddle fun, Jordy and Bianca


Nana pushes high! Wish I had have been able to get them both in this better but couldn't due to the trees. Jordan and Jesse getting pushed on the swing by Nana.


Reflection. Used BILs 70-200 L lens on this occasion, loved it so much I went and bought myself the 24-70 L, beautiful lens but wouldn't you know it Jordan doesn't like it ("it's too big, where has your smaller lens gone?"!!). Ahh, he'll get used to it.


The boy.


A fairy sighting.


Very pretty fairy she was! And good too, though not cheap, she required payment for these. She requested $10 but Lisa suggested she would be just as happy with a pinky purple one ($5 and she was, afterall they are her favourite coulours!Thankfully she doesn't prefer yellow or green!) Still worth it though, we got so many good ones of her.


Stacks more from the past couple of months on Flickr, even more on the HD that are just not gonna get seen due to lack of time!

Layouts

Just some more layouts that for one reason or another I never uploaded to my gallery. They are from the past few months, I didn't have a mass scrapping session! All use my stuff, one Jason Gaylor brush used down the side of the one called Rare.










Oh and check out my boy on a bag!
