Weekend of Swing!

The Hullabaloo Hoppers got busy this weekend!

Firstly, they started off in Wanneroo, dancing to "Launch for a Good Cause", raising money for children with disabilities.

The performance team danced their little hearts out in the scorching heat, and played too!

For more photos, please see "Charity for a Good Cause".

The next day, they then too off to Jazz in the Park at Memorial Park in Mosman Park (that was one too many park park park in that sentence!). 

Along with a few other bands, Libby Hammer made an appearance, that lady is always sexy! The Hoppers had a picnic and hung around with friends!

If I were to get a tattoo...

Zoe Gypsy has the most beautiful tattoo...

If I ever had the guts to get a tattoo... it would look something like this...

Zoe just had the right look for a Frankie Magazine article... :)

Thanks Zoe!

Sophia's Piratastic Party!

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Sophia's 3rd birthday party. Her party had a pirate theme and I just absolutely love photographing children's parties!

Sophia had the most gorgeous cupcakes and cake made for her! When I saw it, I was just so gobsmacked!

The kids were all so gorgeous! Here are my favourite shots from the day!

The Birthday Girl, Sophia!

It was such an piratastic party! For more photos, please see Sophia's Pirate Party on Facebook!

Leedy Hop with Swing Zing!

A night of many performances, live music with the Kalamunda Youth Swing Band, and dance is something to be expected at the monthly Leedy Hop with Swing Zing. The telethon team put up a great performance and it was so nice to see the other dancers from taking part in the performances as well.

Thank you to Sophie who invited me to photograph this event!

3 gorgeous girls

When I was asked to take photos for my friend, Deb, I was very excited. I had always wanted to do a mother and daughter photoshoot! What was more awesome was that Deb had 2 daughters!

They were such a photogenic trio and did everything I asked them too! Thank you!

Here are some of my favourites from the day!

The lovely Daisy

Popsicles!

Meg, playing with ducks!

Ticklefest!

Swing Zing at Freo!

I decided to go into Freo last Saturday for the Norfolk fest, as well as to cheer on my Swing Zing mates. They are pretty hard core swing dancers... Freo in the afternoon, Telethon at night and Telethon once again with WAYJO the next morning!

I was a little upset with the shadows from the trees casting on the faces, but sometimes you just can't help that with a live performance.

Here are some of my favourite photos from the day.

I love the look on Nicole's face

I love the little kid on the right trying to copy the dancers

It was an awesome afternoon, for more photos, please see Swing Zing Album on Facebook.

Fremantle Norfolk Festival

I was in Freo today and chanced upon some Live Street Painting. I got there a little late, so not much live paintings going on, but rather... the final pieces... 

Artwork by Reboot

Photos at sunset means sunflare... I love a sunflare photo...

More photos of Freo today coming soon!

Evie, 8 month old little munchkin

I just love Evie! So in love! She's the happiest little baby I've ever met, from 6 weeks old to 8 months old.
Her mum Em and I were friends from Uni, we did our Grad Dip Ed together. I photographed Em when she was pregnant earlier this year.


Her photos are the first three in this album.

I then took some photos of Evie when she was six months old, some of you might remember her from my advertising leaflets and my calling card.

Evie, 6 weeks old

I have been bugging Em for awhile to take some photos of little Evie at 8 months old. She's so gorgeous and always has a smile! 

Here are a few of my favourites from last Sunday's shoot!

I love this one as you can see her eyelashes... so dreamy. I added a vintage texture for a nostalgic feel.

Her eyes are just s sweet in this photo... a photographer's dream!

Here's Evie with her Mummy having a play in the park...

Really Cute! Just wanna give her big kisses!

Thank you to little Evie and Emma for the wonderful day! I can't wait till she starts walking!  Xoxoxo
