As I type this, I can hardly keep my head up. No, seriously, I think Pete will have to come by and put a spatula between my head and the desk, I’m that tired. Weddings start back again tomorrow and I am uber excited. And by uber, I mean do a little jig excited.

In other news, meet Jazmine. Jas has been doing a little work experience with me, and she’ll be hanging around a lot more. So, get used to seeing her around. I stole her for a mini-shoot the other day.

Don’t forget to leave her some blog comment luvin at the bottom!

I love this series.

Rawr.

Melissa is inspiring. Amazing. Beautiful. Angelic. But especially, inspiring. You see, Melissa is  member of my gym, and at the start of the year, she began a 3 month challenge set by my gym. 15kgs heavier. Yep, she’s THAT awesome. She’s inspired me this week to go back to the gym and lose the 20 odd kgs I’ve put on this past 5 years. Yep, as I said,  she’s THAT awesome.

Melissa, congratulations on your Uh-mayzing new body and new lease on life. I had such a wonderful time hanging out with you and Jeremy last weekend and you guys were such troopers, despite all the headaches and knee pains. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pics on the weekend!

Enjoy!

Mel, you’re so glam!

Possibly my fave from the shoot.

After the glam it was time to slip into something more comfortable. Like footy jerseys! Why is it Mel can even make a footy jersey look good?

This one might be my fave too!

Abbey is awesome. That is all. I would like to introduce you webbians to the newest member of the RDP team. Abbey will be available for hair and make-up for all my portrait sessions, engagement sessions plus! weddings! You can book her through me and for any enquiries, feel free to call me or shoot me an email. Anyways, nuff said, on to the pics. I said to her that as a member of RDP, she has to have a portrait session, because, let’s face it, everyone has to have a portrait session. Ev-ry-one.

Abbey, you’re so glam.

I politely asked the local workmen to “check her out”. It made for  funny photo. What can I say? Surely the girl’s used to it.Look at her!

Ray Ban should totally employ me to shoot their commercials.

Just letting y’all know, I’m totally in holiday mode so will be away from the office until Friday. Pete and I have headed over the mountains and are road trippin’ it around the Bathurst-Mudgee area. I’m so gonna race around Mt. Panorama tomorrow. O.K. Maybe not race, but I’ll enjoy the view. We went for a premature drive around the course today. You know, just to check it out before the big hum dinga tomorrow. Hehe.

But for now, enjoy this little view of the husband in the most awesomest of bookshops we found in Katoomba yesterday. This was taken on Pete’s iPhone. Please don’t hate.

More pics to come later in the week.

Fiona is a friend. Originally a friend of a friend, but I think after our uber-fun photo-sesh, we’re like this (In case y’all couldn’t tell, I’m holding my two fingers up). Fiona was looking for some pics for her new EP being lauched later in the year, and I was more than happy to oblige. With her infectious laugh and fab smile, she was not at ALL hard to photograph. My job was the easy part!

Fi, thanks so so SO much for an amazingly fun afternoon. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pics!

Happy Tuesday!

It was terrifying. You know, one of those moments where you feel like you want to run screaming from the building and hide under a rock until the voices in your head go away and your not the complete focus of everyone’s attention. Yah, well, I’m not gonna lie, that’s what the beginning of the workshop felt for me. I. Was. Scared. Thankfully however, it all came off smashingly and we had 16 people who were a blast to hang out with for a day.

The last part of the workshop we all went out to photograph one of the most uh-mazingest models in the whole entire world, Becky. You might remember her from here and here and here. Yeah, she’s pretty awesome. Becky and I went to school together and when she rocked up after lunch, you might have seen me sigh with relief/ take a relaxing breath/ breath altogether. One of the afore mentioned actions. It was such a comfort having someone there who knew how to be photographed, knew how I worked, and I knew how she worked. It. Was. Brilliant.

Becky, I can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve given me over the past year in developing as a photographer. You’re amazing and I wish you all the best with your now not-so-new hubby. I hope you like the pics!

Becky, you’re so ham. Yah, I just gave ham a new meaning. It’s a combination on hott and glam. O.K. Maybe, I need to work on the whole making-up-words thang.

I’m so funny it hurts sometimes.



See, ham!
