Miss J’s preschool has been reading a chapter book this term – can you guess which one? With today being the last day of term, everyone is dressing up as their favourite character and watching the original movie… She came up with this design concept all by herself (but we have Grandma to thank for the pillow case;-)

As Little Man couldn’t stay and join in the festivities we decided to go for Cino’s and Gingerbread Man Cookies…

Hope your school holidays are safe, relaxed and happy, M x

Let me tell you what I know about Stefanie and Jonathan…. they’re AWESOME. This has to be one of the most *romantic* couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Jonathan & Stefanie are from Orlando, Florida and he got in touch to let me in on a little secret… He and girlfriend Stefanie were about to take the trip of a lifetime to Sydney, Australia and he was planning to ask Stefanie to marry him. To top if off, he wanted to organise an additional surprise of an engagement session here in Sydney, so that they would have some super-cool images to remember their time here.

Jonathan proposed to Stefanie, just last week, at Mrs Macquaries Chair – it’s gorgeous and the most romantic little place in Sydney {just ask Jonathan it’s history… he knows the story and told Stef all about it just before proposed!}. Once Stef found out about the photography session, she was all in and we dragged her heels all over Sydney town looking for cool places to shoot. This is but a small sample of our day… yep we spent the entire day together, and Stef ROCKED… pun intended She was all ready to get into the groove and it wasn’t long before the creative juices started flowing… we have similar interests in doorways and architectural features so everytime I spotted something, she was all over it….and Jonathan I think you made this girls day!

Jonathan & Stefanie, it was great spending the day with you… glad you like the Yum Cha…. pity I couldn’t convince you to try the Vegemite!

Congratulations to you both, M x

Seriously… it’s a *small* selection!

I spent a lovely afternoon with this family earlier in the week. We’d rescheduled to make the most of the weather and it truly didn’t disappoint. The purpose of the session was to get some up-to-date family portraits and I hope they enjoy this little sneak peek selection of their gallery. Mum did an awesome job of putting their wardrobe together, right down to the girls flowers in hair and matching outifts… too cute!
