Hard to believe it has been winter this past few days. The sun has been so warm and the days so still that it I have been wearing tshirts and we have been going to the beach!I had planned to bring the Canon along but opted to hang out with them and really enjoy the beach instead of trying to get 'the shot' so I left the dSLR at home. Having said that, …

Our Documented Days | Camping
I grew up with camping trips and bush walks. It was always something I wanted to offer to my girls. I used to take the girls on a bush walk in the school holidays with a friend from work and her son when we lived in the Blue Mountains. Evie and I really enjoyed them and Olive loved the view while she was wrapped to my back. The outdoors beyond out …

Evie completed her first season as a Nipper at Redhead Beach Surf Life Saving Club. She has LOVED it! It was the last week and there are A LOT of kids in her age group so I didn't know what the implication would be of photographing the Nippers time (and I really enjoy helping out in the surf and with the flag activities) so we got there a little early for …
My Great-Grandfather’s Pudding | Documenting Traditions
My Great Grandfather's Pudding (aka the year I ate too much pudding!) We spent alternate Christmases with my maternal grandparents which were filled with cousins, running around, fun and love. They were a traditional kind of Christmas that involved going to mass as a family (where Grandma was always a few beats ahead in hymns and prayers), roast meat, …

This last month I had a dear friend, Lauren (of Free Range Change) visit when she returned from Central America. The girls and I made some kokedama for the bathroom in the winter school holidays and Lauren mentioned she had always wanted to make some so we went to Bunnings (but I didn't have my camera :( ) and got the necessary material then got …

10 on 10 | March Each month, on the tenth day, a group of photographers post ten images from the previous month. Each photographer links to another in their post which in the end comes full circle back to the photographer you started with. This is my contribution for March, using a collection of images from February. Don't forget to follow …
Relocation Part Three | Documenting the move to Newcastle
We have now moved in to a more permanent address (only slightly, as it was sold in the first week we had moved in after unsuccessfully being on the market for many months so we are on the move again mid-July). We have been here a little over a month now and I am still pinching myself that we live a 10 min drive from Redhead Beach! The removalists arrived …

My turn in front of the camera | Documentary Family Photography Session
Recently, a fellow documentary family photographer and I did a session trade. We swapped an eight hour documentary session of each other's family. The Hales (that's us) were up first as we were moving away shortly and Sharon (of Sharon Troy-Baldwin Photography) was able to fit us in before the move. It is something I will be forever grateful for because …

This year I am participating in a blog circle. I was unable to post for January due to my computer being in a box in a shipping container in a warehouse so here I am with my first contribution! I am proudly joining a group of photographers who either shoot ten images on the tenth day of each month or curate ten images from the previous month. Follow the …
Relocation Part One | Documenting the move to Newcastle
Relocation | Part One Moving house. Moving to a new house, new city, new school, new preschool, new everything. I wanted to make images of the move to use it as a way not only to document the process but to sort through the emotions I was anticipating. I am a sentimental and emotional person and thought this move out of our family home, the first …
