Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I recently went to visit my Aunt Jude, she has the most beautiful roses, and they were all flowering beautifully. Some were just past their prime and still gorgeous. So she cut me some so I could take them home and play with them in the studio…just gorgeous. I have been buying up some new…

When your neighbour has such beautiful roses, it’s hard not to pop in and capture them. They were not at their best this visit, but still so beautiful. I put together a little video as well which is on YouTube… Enjoy… ~ Julz, xo

Even in these trying times, there is still kindness to be found. I recently received this beautiful bunch of pink roses from some friends, after they had borrowed my smoke machine. It was such perfect timing, as I had been playing with my hydrangeas and was in the mood for more subjects to shoot. Trust…

Do you know how often I sit and stare at the screen and have no idea what to write? I am sure I am not alone, does this happen to you too? It’s been a good week, but not really much to talk about. I did get out with the camera for a few mini…
