Tuesday

where the blossoms bloom


while i was in london i had the pleasure to meet and shoot beside the lovely ailera stone. i have been smitten by her photography and magical blog posts for the longest time and i was so happy that she put together this little shoot for us when i told her i was going to be in her side of the world for a little while! you can see her photos from our day here! and you should follow her blog because she is incredibly talented. these are the pictures i took on this sun-soaked but freezing cold day!

model: auste kuzmickaite
makeup: gaile juknyte


keep an eye out on my facebook page for some behind the scene photos i will upload soon :)

winter


dan and i got home from london, greeted with a warm winter in australia. we jumped straight back into life. i shot a wedding a few days after getting back home, and it has all been as busy as ever since. winter was a time of staying up late and waking up early. here are a collection of pictures of the things i got up to.

my friends and i stayed in a little country house in the middle of nowhere.

making fires to stay warm.

trying to pat the cows.

the fire keeper.

our little fire turned big and warm.

staying up to see the thousands of stars blanketing the sky.

waking up before dawn.

a kangaroo in our backyard.

exploring with nat.

the night in the river.

last breakfast on the sunny porch before going home.

dan and i went driving when the night was covered in thick fog.

behind the scenes of our rain-clouds on the cliffedge editorial. this is lisa doing megan's makeup.


walking back over the huge hills at the end of our shoot.

jessie mcnaught hosted an amazing fashion event where our atomic neon photos were on display everywhere.

madeline opening the fashion show.

the talented bridgette may live drawing an image of mine during the night.

afterwards, we all went to hang out in this lovely outdoor bar for the rest of the night.

my job takes me to beautiful places.


we went to watch some live music.

behind the scenes of our bad santa editorial.

chereine working her makeup magic on madeline.

location scouting with dan.

the clouds in the dirt.

i received a lovely surprise in the mail from kiara rose; she made some prints of a shoot we had together!

spending some days sick in bed.

more location scouting with dan on cold afternoons.


one of the things i am most excited about that happened in the winter-time, is that dan and i released a brand new website - Swoon Weddings - where we film & photograph people in love. you can see a whole new set of pictures & short films on our website here: www.swoonweddings.com.au

and it would mean the world to me if you could go through and like our slowly growing facebook page too!
