Is it weird that I’m still writing about Matthew each week rather than each month? Maybe, but I enjoy it, it’s nice to see how much he changes, and yes, while the changes do calm down a bit from the first year of life, I still watch Matthew day to day and am amazed by … Read more
It’s been a bit of a quiet week with my camera. I’ve been working on my editing which hasn’t really required me to pick up and use my camera, but I did spend a bit of time on the weekend reading through my manual and working out how to do a few extra things. But … Read more
Oh I love cakes. It’s one of the happiest things in the world. They are ever so tasty and there are so many combinations of flavours and decorations and ways to present. The options are almost endless. I’ve found some awesome ideas on pinterest for cakes. Some I’ll be able to recreate, some I doubt … Read more
So I’ve been planning on doing this photo shoot since Matthew was about 2 weeks old. Being a January baby I had grand plans to do this outside, in some nice morning sun, but due to continuous rain on and off over the Christmas and New Year period, I came up with a backup plan.

We have a little football player emerging. That is if a football is actually a balloon and the no hands rule is cancelled. Kicking is Matthews latest trick, he’s started practising it quite a lot and as we still have some balloons blown up from his birthday, he’s been using those as target practise. He … Read more

So as part of Matthew turning one, I organised for him to do a cake smash photo shoot. And by organised I mean that I took the photos (practicing my photography) and made the cake (practising my cake making skills). I think my chances of being a cake maker are slim. But didn’t stop us from having … Read more
We have a toddler! A little, mobile, chatty toddler. Yes, Matthew has turned one. A full 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months (chose one) since he was born. And just reading back over the last year worth of blog post it’s incredible how much he has changed. From being this sleepy, curly ball of newborn … Read more
Ok, so I’m attempting a Project 366 this year. I’ve tried this twice before, the first time was a Self Portrait 365 which lasted about 18 days. The second was a general Project 365 which lasted about 160 days or so. But I’m going to attempt it again :) No promises – and will be … Read more
So I’ve been thinking about this a bit lately. As we are now a few days into the new year, I’ve had a bit of a chance to reflect on what 2011 brought to me, what I brought to 2011 and what I want 2012 to be like. What I want to keep doing, what … Read more
