Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
We recently managed to spend a long weekend with my daughter in Ipswich (Queensland). Due to Covid I have not been able to get to her house in Ipswich. She move in Dec 2019 and we were going to visit in Feb 2020…but you all know what happened. So I have not seen her newly…

I recently had my Christmas Pet Pawtraits mini sessions again for 2021. We’ve been running this for the last few years, it’s so much fun and I get to meet some really cool dogs. We had a bunch of great dogs and even some new ones this year. We had two gorgeous backdrops from Kate…

They may look like a large rat but the Southern Brown Bandicoot are a small mammal and a marsupial. Australia is quite well known for our strange marsupials, mostly the Koala and Kangaroo, but we actually have so many more species. This little guy is quite endangered, but there is a happy little community at…

With an ongoing Covid Lockdown, again…it seems my only willing and available model is Dexter. He is actually getting really quite good and is really learning his craft. I know many will think it is staged, but it’s not. I set up this still life/ lifestyle scene for a shoot and young Mr. Dexter ever…
