So so sorry.......

On May 26th I was asked to fill in for an amazing Canberra based Event Photographer (only because he was out of town...............lucky me!) at the National Sorry Day Committee Community Event. I was thrilled to take part and humbled by the stories of the Stolen Generation. I wish we would all shout our apologies from every roof top and I wish the offical apology had happened much much sooner.

Our indigenous culture is close to my heart. I have family who are indigenous and my amazing mother spent a lot of her scientific career in the pursuit of improved health outcomes for urban Aborigines.

A big shout out and thanks to fellow photog Luke Kneale (http://www.luke-k.com/)

The last of Autumn.

I share with you what may be the last of my 2012 Autumn light images as I sit here in my uggboots and trackies and the heater on full. Bring on winter......soon to come, kids with beanies and coats and the odd picture in the snow. Happy Winter (almost) everyone.

 

I wondering what she's whispering?.........

2 and 3 year olds can be challenging in a photo shoot - free will reigns supreme! That being said, they are my favourite 'models'. You cant force anything out of them, nor would you want to. They'll smile or laugh if they want to, or not!

Its always fun, a bit of exercise and a lesson in going with the flow. This particular toddler and her new little brother are totally, utterly adorable so I have to share...................Happy weekend all. xoxoxoxo
