Super Cute!

Today I made two cute pigtails in Lia's hair. They are getting so long now I decided to make two teeny plats. The cuteness nearly slayed both Paul and I so of course, out came the camera to record the moment for posterity.

Shoba's 60th BIrthday Bash

Mum turned 60 this year. So dad went all out and held a birthday dinner for her closest friends and family at the Sir Stamford at Circular Quay. Not even the guests knew where we were going as dad had arranged a bus to drive everyone to and from the venue. We had a fabulous night, the girls stayed up SO late, but we very well behaved. Everyone had an absolute ball!

Around the house

Sam gave me some tips about shooting at a full stop higher than what I was and I wanted to try it out. Here are the results of that plus some new styles of post processing.

Kyra wouldn't put her dolly down for this shot. She calls it "EggBaby" (gift from Great Grandma Hutchison) which has stuck since she was about 18months old. She was sitting on the sofa patting its head and pointed and said "EGG!" and hence "eggbaby" forever more.

Looking so much older than 4 years old here...

What a scamp!

Winter fun in the sun

After a long spell of working too hard and not taking enough pictures I finally got to go out with the kids for some quality photo time.

Sam Pearce and I took her 4 kids, and my two to Nurrangingy for some afternoon photos. I came armed with a bag of lollipops and stickers. Here are the results...
