- Martha Graham

Stacey and Sean are Getting Married!

Stacey & Sean and so cute and easy going... I cannot wait to photograph their wedding this June!

It was a windy day and we were trying so hard to keep the balloons from flying off into the wind and from bursting!

For more photos from this session, please see Sean & Stacey are getting married!

Rehashing January... the photoshoot with 21 people

Whilst I was in Singapore in the month of January early this year I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family of 21! Many also flew into Singapore especially for this photo shoot.

Li Hsien, a fellow Lindy Hopper saw my photos via Facebook and contacted to book me in for a family photoshoot. Facebook is quite the powerful social networking and business tool!

I still remember the hot and humid day, and the kids all running around. The most important thing was the love and laughter that the family shared with each other!

Thank you for sharing this moment with me, I really enjoyed this session with everyone!

These photos are all so priceless... and hopefully will be enjoyed for many years to come!

For more photos, please see The Photoshoot with 21 people! Whilst you're there, remember to like the page or to suggest the page to your friends and family!

Fringe World, The De Parel Speigeltent Perth

It is a godsend when you have a bunch of well dressed dance people, mixed with an awesome band, a beautiful venue with great lighting.

What more can a photographer ask for?

Darling Buds of May performed at Fringe World, De Parel Speigeltent in Perth WA.

Jessie and the band were so awesome...

The lovely Harry Deluxe kicked the night off with a bang!

The dancers laughed and danced the night away...

For more photos from this event, please see DBOM De Parel Speigeltent.

The following week, we headed out again for more dancing... here are the highlights...

Very pretty tent... for more photos see... Fringe World 18th Feb 2011

New York- Asheville- Friends I left behind...

For those of you who know me, you probably know that I live, breathe, eat Swing Dancing and Photography.

It has been part of my goal in life, to make swing dancing part of my travels, wherever I go to in the world. The socialisation that comes with dancing is so awesome for those of you who who have never experienced it. We all speak the same language; that is our passion and love for the dance. And sometimes, we meet at some other part of the world.

The only sad aspect of it is when we have to say goodbye... thank you for all the memories, dancing... and the laughter, hugs and drinks!

I'll see you soon on the dance floor, some place, some time.
