Pin Up Nicole

Posted 5 days ago

I recently had the pleasure of working with a ridiculously fun model, Nicole, on a retro pin up shoot.

It’s funny how some shoots I walk away from shaking my head and praying for some decent results, and then others I freak out of the way home about how much space it’s going to eat up on my hard drive. This shoot falls into the latter category.

Nicole was so easy to work with and everyo…

Photographic Overshare

Posted 19 days ago

Recently I was talking to someone about how wonderful it feels to shave off all your hair and stop wearing make up. They asked for a photo from when I did it back in my rebellious school days. I thought I’d just share it here instead of emailing because this is more fun.

And since I’m in sharing mo…

RedBubble Ritual

Posted 25 days ago

I eat sandwiches one layer at a time and chew an even number of times on each side of my mouth. This ritual is a bit strange.

Each morning I log on to RedBubble and go for a cruise through my favourite places. This ritual isn’t strange, so I thought I’d share.

It starts with a morning coffee. Then I…
I scroll through my activity feed and open anyth…

night fashion

Posted about 1 month ago

An overnight low of 8 degrees celsius wasn’t going to stop me from bribing two models, a stylist and a second photographer freeze their tits off for the sake of art. Extra love goes to the models who braved the elements in skimpy dresses and sheer camisoles – I promise next time we will be indoors and with the heater on full!

a little bit of news

Posted about 1 month ago

It took several weeks of my blatant flirting before James realised I actually meant it in all those bubblemails about taking me on a date. In the end I just asked him out and thankfully he said yes. Jump forward to last weekend and it was his turn to do the asking, but the answer was still yes.

a night on the town

Posted about 1 month ago

Yesterday Teer Wayde and I hit the town for a coffee and quick photo shoot. Basically, we mucked around trying things for an hour or so… then we discussed giant fish. And then I lost my glasses and went stumbling back through the city to find them. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the evening. Enjoy :)

letters from the crushed

Posted 2 months ago

The internet is a second home for me. While some people use it to transfer information, I prefer using it to nurture relationships and share real thoughts and emotions.

Natalie has written a little journal encouraging us to share something creative. I’d like to show you couple of places where people come together …

anyone else feeling a bit broke?

Posted 3 months ago

Maybe it’s hearing the words “global financial crisis” too many times in the last month, but I keep feeling like everything in the world is expensive, even when it isn’t. What do you mean, three whole dollars for a coffee? Outrageous!

I live in my home loan, I eat my food budget, I have no idea where bill money goes, but the purchases I still cherish and make me feel happy every time I se…
