Like a breath of fresh air….. a jolly good slap in the face.  God how many excuses did I need to make in my head, its too cold, I’m too tired, there’s too much work to be done…. thats all they were….damn excuses.  \

I have been hunting for my photo mojo and it kept ducking and diving avoiding me like the plague… I bring it with me to organized shoots, but how come I wasn’t doing anything for me?   So I made a decision, all be it a rather crazy decision, I decided I wanted to go back to the old days (1999) and give film another shot (pardon the pun).   A few months back I had my eye on a camera that made my heart flutter…. it was a must have…. a yearning… sleepless nights… sadly I had to prioritize my life and the ‘deal’ fell through.  I flunked into a bad mood and forgot about how important it was (to me) until I found another…. just the same…. and the time was right…. cha ching!!

Today 20 rolls of 220 medium format film arrived to greet my brand new CONTAX 645 (swooon)  I am officially a medium format camera owner!!!  And today I went shooting!!!  I couldn’t get out the door quick enough, like a deep big breath of really really fresh air… all my mind would scream was GOD I NEED YOU NOW!!!

The downside (or upside depending on how you look at things…. glass half full yadda yadda) film is a process and needs to be processed.  Due to my perfection I will be sending it to the US of A.  SO no examples as yet however when they do come back and if I am game enough to share (encouragement needed) I will post them.  However I did bring my lifeline digital camera to the shoot… soooo here are a few of my perfect girl… oh and by the way there were no animals harmed in the making of this post!!!  xxxx

Tomorrow is a day where my small people will celebrate their days, the days that they were born, the days that changed my life forever, the best days of my life.  Time is precious and they do grow fast, bullet fast, so quick that you want to grab them and say woooooahhhh slow down what’s the rush.  I have said this before and I know I will say it again, cherish them, hard and heavy because before you know it they no longer want you to walk them to the bus, choose their outfits, kiss them in public, they grow and you wonder where the time went.  Happy birthday precious girls xxx mummy

Could there be a more precious bump, soon to be a mummy (again).  Best of luck meeting your beautiful king prawn xxx

The way they wiggle, the way their perfect little lips pout together.  The delicate fingernails and their curly toes.  Nothing is more precious and more blessed.  I think I am incredibly lucky to spend time to capture these moments.  Each bundle is different, but one thing is true, its impossible not to love them with every inch of your soul.  How bless’d they are.

Newborn specials will be announced on the blog in the next week or two.  If you are pregnant and wish to capture those precious first weeks, please make contact and we can discuss a session.
