...easter...

...i find that most weekends i'm doing photos for clients...so with the school routine during the week and just plain being pregnant and tired...i don't get to do some of the creative stuff i enjoy doing just for myself...




i miss my sewing machine...i used to sew all the time...i miss having organised places for things... that all went out the window when i got sick but the only great thing about being sick for 3mths with morning sickness is it gives you lots of time left to think...and my mind is practically overflowing with ideas for the house, a babies room, and sewing projects...of course then i got better and realised how much time it was going to take....so I cheated...a little...i made some of these easter eggs last year and really had fun doing it...but i just couldn't see myself sitting there blowing eggs for hours this easter to make as many as i wanted....so i found some for a pretty good price and bought them :)...my way of justifying it is that...at least i have more time now to start on some of my other ideas!

...make it perfect...

my friend, Toni, is a designer and has started to make a name for herself! She recently had a magazine spread in the 'Homespun' magazine.



She asked me to take some photos for her pattern covers...i enjoyed doing something a little different...it was fun...if you want to see more of her designs go to her site 'make it perfect'.

...a wedding...

my brother-in-law and his fiancee got married on Friday...

...it was a wet day...so some of the ideas we had just weren't going to work...but we did still manage to find a few places that let us keep dry and still take photos!

...and this is the bride having a bit of DJ fun...

K & A wedding...

i shot K & A's wedding on the weekend...

absolutely LOVED this photo...and the mini for a wedding car!

...the door...

i think i have a thing for doors...especially blue one's...

so i did a shoot for my friend the other day, i LOVE her front door...

maybe because it reminded me of this door in paris...

i took at least 10 photos in front of this door - i just couldn't get enough of it...we'd walk past it every day on the way back to our hotel.

...rome finished...

...rome...

we were in rome for 3 days - i'm still working on processing all the photos. this is from day 1! will post the ny, chicago & egypt photos up soon...it'll be a while before i finish the paris photos - there's 5 days worth!
