    • Happy Birthday to our beautiful boy Logan - Nine years ago today you stole our hearts! The last of your single digit birthdays and halfway to eighteen (so big but at the same time so little!). We hope the number of amazing moments in the next nine years are equal to the first nine.  While we wish w[...]

  • MOMENTS THAT MATTER

    • As a photographer and our family’s designated memory keeper, photos play an important role in our every day story. Through photography, I have learnt to appreciate my life as it is right now instead of wishing for better days ahead. Sandwiched between the tedium of everyday living, I find a million[...]

  • APPRECIATE THE SIMPLE THINGS

  • LIFE IN THE PATCH

    • My hubby works offshore every second month and we live for our Sunday phone calls when he is away from home. Oil rig life takes its toll and both parties can experience bouts of loneliness during these times apart. I often get told “Shame, you must be so lonely?” or asked “How do you do it?” The [...]

  • SO MUCH LOVE

    • This was a special photo shoot, one very close to my heart.  Not only because they are my family but also as it was one of the few evenings left where this family would all be together...

Peytey Pops, you are totally your own person, you know your own mind, are strong-willed and strong-minded, which drives me demented and delights me, in equal measures. You sure keep us on our toes... Inquisitive in mind and loving[...]
