Out of Office - Sunshine Coast Photographer

I will be out of the office from Monday 24th - Thurs 27th August. I will try to return emails and phone calls when I get a chance if possible when away - otherwise Friday will be the day.

It is that time of year again - August Exposure. 4 days of inspiration and networking.  I believe it is important to attend workshops, seminars and conferences that will challenge me, strengthen my business and keep the creative juices flowing. I try and attend as many as my schedule, family and purse will allow throughout the year and each time I come away refreshed, motivated and inspired to push my work and business to new levels.

Just this week I attended a AIPP workshop on DAM (Digital Asset Management) - file management, workflow, archiving.  As I don’t outsource any of my work and continually try to streamline my workflow without sacrificing quality I am always open to any little edge to improve my workflow.  Being a member of the AIPP enables me to attend workshops by the experts - also great for networking with other photographers.

So after this week away it is flat chat for weddings - I am very excited to show off my super clients!!!!!

Of course a post needs an image (or 4) - my youngest Lucy. Who said you couldn’t get sunflare inside!!!! She is a very funny kid - need a sense of humour when your #4 I am sure. Lovin the dreamy soft look of these. Too cute. She will have a great time with Dad while I’m gone.

 

Jasmin’s Formal - Sunshine Coast Photographer

This is my gorgeously stunning niece Jasmin!!!! Off to her year 11 formal tonight and I grabbed these before she hooked up with her main man Jed. They grow up a little too fast these days - Jaz is not 16 till August. My Danica and Jaz grew up like sisters and it is amazing to see her now as a young woman. Hope you had a great night Miss Jaz - did these super quick because I know how much you wanted to see them.

Happy Birthday Luke - Sunshine Coast Photographer

Happy Birthday to You ……. Yes my only boy Luke turns 6 today. Have a wedding today so the celebrations will take place on the weekend. But look at those eyelashes and of course he got the thickest curliest hair of all my children. Us females know how unfair that is! Maybe he needs a hair cut but I will enjoy it as long as he does - and being on the coast he gets away with that surfy boy image.

Sydney Birthday - Sunshine Coast Photographer

My eldest Danica turned sweet 16 last month! Tough age to celebrate - too old for a ‘party’, done the movie thing and too young to drink or go out. So being the good mother I am I flew her and girlfriend, Rebecca, to Sydney for the Easter long weekend. A huge thank you to my sister Trudy and partner Adam for having them for four days. We go regularly to Sydney but pretty exciting to do things without your parents at this age - especially going interstate. Did the city, Luna Park, caught the ferry, shopped and hung out in Manley and Bondi and lots of tennis on the WII. Couple of pics from Christmas just gone of Trudy, Adam and Neeka - had to throw one of little Lucy in as well. Thanks again guys you made her year and all her girlfriends are planning Sydney in place of schoolies next year - so look out.

Mooloolaba Triathlon 2009 - Sunshine Coast Photographer

So the Mooloolaba Triathlon is the second biggest in Australia! It is a three day event leading up to the World Cup Round of the Elites here at Mooloolaba. My niece Ruby (you may remember from here) rang my Jené (both 7 yrs old) to see if she wanted to compete in the kids tri this year - Jené was so excited she didn’t know or ask what it was!!!  

My sister ran in the Friday twilight 5k run. Then Saturday morning the wee girls lined up for their go - 200m swim, 3k bike and 400m run from memory. Purely for fun - no places given - a medal for all who completed the course. And didn’t our gorgeous Sunshine Coast turn on the weather for the tourists. The rain was going sideways at one stage - but they had a ball and Jené has booked her flight to Airlie Beach in September to compete up there again with Ruby.

Doug’s sister Polly competed in the surf swim on Saturday - couldn’t handle more rain, kids and trying to keep my camera dry. Next year though.

The main event for us was Sunday morning with my brother-in-law Doug partaking in his age division. All up there were over 4000 competitors in varying categories and age divisions. He has been gradually building up to this over the last year or so and we think he has been bitten big time by the BUG.  He took a good 10 mins off his best time (2 hours 37 mins) and it was his first time competing in a full tri other than training. He actually looked as good at the end as when he started. Well done Doug!

This last image is of my Mum and my other niece Jasmin’s boyfriend, Jed, stranded in the rain. At one stage there were four of them under there.

Lost my blog - Sunshine Coast Photographer

Yes I inadvertantly lost my posts on this new blog - not deleted - just disappeared. So I am going to re-post recent sessions into groups - weddings, portraits, business, family - rather than individually. Have to start with family of course - thanks for taking the time to view these again my loyal followers.
