Are You Satisfied?

07:38AM | December 31, 2010 | 12 comments

Time to get reflective, maybe set a few goals as well… don’t you think? I’m not one for New Years resolutions, I’m too flippant. I do like looking back, remembering the choices that lead me to where I am, thinking on the lessons I’ve learnt, that sort of thing. The last six months have been [...]

Ruffles & Bows GIVEAWAY

05:00AM | December 29, 2010 | 18 comments

Yesterday I did a few things to perk myself up a bit. I’ve been working a lot but it seems that as soon as the money comes in, it goes straight back out again. It’s left me slightly frustrated. I usually get my hair done every two months and the odd pedicure, it’s what Steve [...]

Curbside Cool

05:00AM | December 28, 2010 | 10 comments

Steve and I were driving home the other day and I just happened to glace out the window down a side street and saw this out on the curb along with a lot of other faded broken outdoor toys. Like a possessed woman, I made Steve do an emergency U-Turn and shoved this sucker into [...]

Christmas at Our Place

08:36PM | December 26, 2010 | 7 comments

So… um, I wasn’t really feeling the Christmas spirit this year. Sure, I was still giving, donating and appreciating my family’s good health and fortune but I wasn’t as into as I’ve been in previous years. I usually go over the top with decorations, planning the menu weeks or even months in advance, even personalising [...]

Big Boy Bed

*sigh* I love my new camera, I can take photos in pitch black now! You might remember I went through another of my shopping obsessions back in the middle of the year about toddler beds, the pros and cons, should we just take the rail of the cot blah blah blah. Well I bit the [...]

Changeroom Confessions

I’d adore it if you stopped by the City Chic Blog and left me some supportive comments. I’ve been busy getting my fashion-on lately and there are lots of photos of me acting like an amateur model, prancing around the change rooms in my knickers… if nothing else it’s worth a giggle.

Family Time

04:48PM | December 22, 2010 | 8 comments

”Dad, you’re awesome!” I’ve been trying to lay low the last couple of days and really invest in more family time on top of all the pre-christmas craziness. It’s just going to be the three of us this year and I while I know I’ll really miss my family on the day, I’m quite thankful [...]

OMG Shoes

05:00AM | December 20, 2010 | 15 comments

As I mentioned earlier, I like to obsess over little unimportant things… like bags and shoes. I rarely buy them so when I do I have trouble justifying the purchase and really over think it. I’d been searching for a pair of size 10 Vivid Blue Low Rise Converse sneakers for aaaaaaaaages. Steve never wanted [...]

Kelly Moore Camera Bags

11:50AM | December 18, 2010 | 4 comments

I’ve been obsessing over bags, camera bags to be precise and they’re worth a pretty penny. With the D80 I just used a black canvas satchel I got from Aldi of all places. I had a great expensive one but never used it but now I have the very expensive D700 I need to protect [...]

Somebodies Junk…

05:00AM | December 17, 2010 | 18 comments

… is always somebody’s treasure. I thought I’d share a few pieces from my op shop bounty I’ve sourced over the last couple of weeks. Op shopping has become time out for me, and Aidan. When we’re having an off day I’ll pop him into the pram and we’ll go for a walk to check [...]

Great Grandson

Last night my grandparents dropped in for a short visit whilst traveling. We sat around the table, had a roast chicken dinner and shared stories… Aidan told a few of his own as well. We’re not going to be spending Christmas with family this year as they all have busy schedules (runs in the blood?) [...]

In the Tub

05:00AM | December 13, 2010 | 8 comments

I’ve been trying to practice and get used to my awesome new camera and lens as much as possible. Aidan had been playing outside all afternoon and was in dire need of a bath so I took the opportunity to do both. The light was lovely, I just couldn’t resist. When I looked at photography [...]

Please understand that this is all still in the design phase, I’m just gathering information, sourcing locations and special goodies to give away to those that attend.

Reinvigorate, Revamp

09:52AM | December 10, 2010 | 3 comments

I’m feeling stifled by my studio, does that ever happen to you? If your workspace doesn’t reflect your style, the creative juices just don’t flow and the clutter (ahem, I mean “storage”) starts to build up and it just becomes to distracting to work/create there… well that’s where my studio is at at the moment. [...]

GIVEAWAY – Harmony to my Heartbeat

02:44PM | December 8, 2010 | 8 comments

A few weeks ago I decided I needed a night off from blogging and the photography business and just have some downtime on my own. So I drove up the mountain to Katoomba and went to the Sally Seltmann concert at The Clarendon Guesthouse and I didn’t take my camera. I did it on purpose [...]

Cool Off & Chill Out

01:41PM | December 8, 2010 | 6 comments

It’s a stinker today so the boy and I are taking it easy… well he is, I’m sitting on that chair researching and emailing people back like a crazy person. I was nervous about playing with the camera when Aidan was obviously going crazy with the hose but I’m glad I did, otherwise I wouldn’t [...]

Life from the Couch

02:06PM | December 7, 2010 | 10 comments

This is what I’ve been trying to do a lot of lately. I’ve got woman’s troubles baaaaaaad but I’m just not up to talking about it which is why a lot of my deep and meaningful posts have been absent lately. I will fill you all in as I believe speaking aloud about Endometriosis is [...]

{photo of me by Anna Todd at Scoop Workshop} Since launching Danimezza Photography I’ve had lots of readers emailing me, asking if I’ll be traveling interstate to do photo sessions. At first I thought it would be impossible as the extra expense (travel, car rental, accommodation etc) would have to be covered by the client… [...]

{image} Today I’m venturing into Bondi Junction to pick up my delicious new camera, lenses and other goodies with Aidan and Carly. Whilst I’m out of the “office” I was wondering if you could do me a huge favour… Since my first official blog meet was technically a complete bust I’ve decided to gather a [...]
