Hobart! Ohmigod! What a great city! I had such a great week and very a productive time. I photographed an extended family which included, mum, dad, two kids, an aunt, a grandmother and a grandfather. A wonderful Family Story instalment for them, particularly as one of the attendees was 91 years old. On another shoot I photographed…

Monthly Archives: April 2009Life in the capital of Australia (as one Hobart cabbie claims) is going well. (Bloody nice city by the way, I wish I’d come sooner to check it all out). I’ve done two shoots now, and had a positive and successful sale on the back of my learning from Tero Sade. And it’s even raining here…  How cool are Beck and Troy. I mean really, they are the dudes. Beck, of ‘Judy and Mary-Jane’ fame did not disappoint with that fantastic dress, red, red nails and a smile to die for. And Troy, you say the hat isn’t you, but I hope you think differently now! How fabulous do they look???!!… Recently I had two family photo sessions combined in one because it was two brothers, Dave and Brendon, and their respective families. We had an interesting contrast in shooting styles on the same session. Brendon, with his partner Lorreta and newborn Connor photographed in a very quiet, sleepy style followed by the kids-running-riot style…  Over the Easter weekend I went to a farm called Hopeful, located 2.5 hours drive from Canberra. 15,000 olive trees grow there and Easter always marks the start of the harvest period. Table olives are hand picked, and olives for olive oil are machine picked. The produce is packaged and sold under the name Alto… Dear Beth, Beautiful photos. What a talent you have. Please let me know how to order prints. Presumably you are already on your way to USA and Europe. Bon voyage. Smooth winds and safe return. Beautiful photos Beth! My favourites are the close up of the olives in the tub with Robert behind, and the kitchen photo – that kitchen looks so alive! I wish I could have been there with you. jules x  [from the Framing Matters website] I’ve been working collaboratively with Framing Matters in Manuka, Canberra over many years, but just recently have established a more formal relationship with them. With all my traveling and not having an appropriate set-up (yet) for supplying quality framing services myself to my clients, the next best option and in fact… I’m going to go and see it as soon as possible… might walk there tomorrow on my lunch break, in fact As with everything in life, you get what you pay for. I am in no doubt whatsoever that good frames are worth every cent. I can’t wait to take the other pictures chosen from this shoot to Framing Matters and have them create miracles again with your gorgeous photographs.  My latest family portrait session was held with Tina, Adam and Ella. Back in 2001 I photographed Tina and Adam at their wedding, and it was my good fortune to be able to return this year and photograph them with their latest addition, Ella. So this makes for instalment two of their Family Story. I’ve… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SNYtd0Ayt0] This is why art is cool. (volume required) B
