24.01.2022 MUMS!! I am taking a few more bookings for my ridiculously fun shoots for those turning 18 and/or doing year 12 this year! I’m getting excited to finally be heading out of our current level of lockdown and I'm so keen to be able to start work again. Sadly, our 18 year olds are missing out on so much this year! No year 12 formal NO 18th parties ... NO nights at the pub Not even just hanging out at home with mates... A creative photo shoot, here in my studio in Torquay, with hair and make up (optional) is not only fun, but a great way to mark this time in their lives year with some beautiful photos, that will become priceless memories. Shoots can be individual or with friends. Ask me about package deals! And they are open to any age or gender. The boys totally need priceless memories too Don’t miss out, the year will be over before we know it! Mums trust me this will be an experience you will never forget. I guarantee there will be a tear or two of pride and joy! For $290 you will receive your shoot, with pre shoot consultation, hair and makeup, PLUS your fave image beautifully edited, printed and mounted with no obligation to purchase images, but there will be plenty to choose from if you wish... Don't hesitate to shoot me a message to ask me anything or to get some more info, I am here to help. Numbers are limited so you better be quick Note: all necessary COVID-19 precautions are taken with regards to sanitising and social distancing.

23.01.2022 Anyone who knows me well knows I just love a first of the month! So much expectation and promise of what those next 30 days will bring. So to have a first of the month and a new season on the one day is just so very extra delightful! And even more special is that it is Spring and then comes Summer! Yaaaaay!! And soon lockdown will be eased and we will head into a new normal. A normal that will be warmer and have us excited once again for some of the little things we once took for granted. But still dreaming of getting to see live music again... Happy first day of Spring everyone <3

22.01.2022 There is something just so brilliant about doing the 18 year old/ year 12 shoots. I know I just LOVE doing them but I also know that Mums are crazy about them and the always, sweet as pie, participant has so much fun as well as leaving with a little extra skip in their step. I will have to do another offer for these shoots toward the middle of the year as they capture such an amazing time in a young persons life as well as creating priceless memories. Lets face it you cant ...go back in time as much as we might wish we could. Or maybe that's just me If it were up to me every single 18 year would have a shoot at this age. Not kidding, each and every one of them needs one!! This is Ruby who clearly rocked her shoot, even though her Mum booked the shoot as a surprise for Ruby and didn't tell her till they were on the way Kimmy McCallum

22.01.2022 Randomly came across this camera on the interwebs today and it gave me such a flashback. I took my first ever photo with this camera. It was our 'family' camera and I had been asking (harping) for sooo long if I could take a photo. The answer was always 'No!' Until one day the answer was uncharacteristically 'Yep, sure!' Oh boy I was excited and I still remember the photo I took. It was of my family and it felt surreal and weird that I couldn't be in it, but I didn't c...are! Taking the photo was heaps more important ;) I was maybe 6 :) I suppose my point is that I always knew this was what I wanted to do and many many many ;) years on, it is still the thing I never want to stop doing. I honestly love it more and more as time goes on. PHYSICAL CHALLENGE: Regularly hand your kid your phone (the younger the better) and ask them to take your photo. What a great fun way to make sure we #existinphotos Show me their best effort in the comments ;) On further investigation it turns out over 60 million of these babies were sold making it the most successful camera line ever to be produced, so there was a good chance your family may have had one too. Am I right?

22.01.2022 Another shot of @shaniaritchiee from the recent @someonelikejune shoot! Very cute jewellery Hair and makeup @makeupbymeagannash #photoshoot #hair #makeup #jewellery #geelongcreatives #surfcoast #geelongwomeninbusiness #sony

21.01.2022 Lush, warm and wintery

20.01.2022 I'm finding all the extra daylight that Spring is providing such a welcome change! Spring is also giving us some much needed warmth already which I also love! Do you see where I'm going here?! I am trying to look at all the positives :) It's making me happy and helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel! We are collectively doing a great job and I am proud of us! I'm so looking forward to getting back to at least Stage 2. That will mean I can work again, see ...some friends, and maybe soon I can even see my beautiful boy who is alone in Stage 4 in Melbs >3 What are you looking forward to?

20.01.2022 The sunrise doesn't always give you an amazing sky, but it is always an amazing way to start your day! I am an early riser, but I certainly haven't always been! The older I get the earlier my alarm is set! These days that's about 5.30am... This sunrise shoot for Emma Kate Flick of Dea Retreat was so lovely. I don't really have enough room here to tell you all about Emma, but she runs an amazing retreat space in Jan Juc with an extensive edible garden from which she cooks vegan meals for the lucky individuals staying in the retreat villas as well as running yoga classes and providing the community with an incredible space for hire. Tip of the Emma iceberg really though and I am also lucky enough to call her a friend :) Creating content for women in business is just such a pleasure and a passion!

19.01.2022 This is Bonnie! Bonnie is 10! Bonnie is also beautiful, bright and brave. At the end of this month Bonnie will chop off her long hair to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and then donate her chopped locks to the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation Inc. for wig making. I got to thinking that for a 10 year old this is a pretty selfless and serious endeavour. Bonnie clearly understands that she has the capacity to help others and wants to, and I love thi...s so much. The further thought occurs that I am of a generation, Gen X to be precise, that is stuck between 2 very very different generations. One that has sadly caused and/or perpetuated all manner of absolutely devastating problems in the world, and one that seems to want to fix those problems. Gen Z is making the future look a little brighter! Thanks Bonnie <3

17.01.2022 Throwback Tuesday to a fave shoot from a couple of years ago! This one had not seen the light of day and think it thoroughly deserves to ;) It's so warm and lush! A very wintery feel plus Montana is just beyond adorable! I'm also old enough to remember how it feels being on a call on a corded phone! Back in the day phone calls could last hours, especially as a teenager. So different todays standards Did you have a corded phone (landline) growing up??

17.01.2022 Lots of cute shots from this shoot so I am still playing with it! I was so lucky to get to shoot in this Geelong house! Every room was like stepping back in time, and it was just perfect!

16.01.2022 Another beautiful portrait box going out today to a very excited recipient! Cant show any of the images yet but they are so gorgeous, even if I do say so myself ;)

16.01.2022 MUMS!! Do you have someone in your life turning 18 or doing VCE this year?? I have an idea I always thought would be a winner. I am so excited about it, and I am launching it right now! Initially, I just wasn’t sure if there was a real desire for it! BUT with our current ongoing ‘situation’ something tells me it is just the perfect timing to have some much needed fun!... Earlier this week I did a shoot with the adorable Sari, and the response when her Mum shared the photos was overwhelmingly positive, so here I am putting it out there. All our kids who are doing VCE or turning 18 this year are sadly not getting to participate in the usual rite of passage stuff like Year 12 Formals 18th birthday parties Going to the pub with mates for the first time So I have an idea for a great alternative, which is not only fun, but something tangible that will really mark this time in their lives and create some priceless memories. A beautiful and totally fun, creative photo shoot, with hair and make up included obviously, here in my studio in Torquay. This could be a mother daughter thing (Mum watching with joy and/or participating) or a fun shoot with a BFF or 2. Anything you want really, but the result will be an amazingly fun experience you will never forget, and lifelong memories to keep. Imagine looking back in 20 years time! As a photographer I am always banging on about how important photos will be in years to come and I totally stand by it! Think about how much you love that pic of your Nan when she was a girl or yourself when you were young! I so wish I had some professional photos of myself when I was 18 And Mums, trust me, this will be an experience you will never forget. I guarantee there will be a tear or two of pride and joy. So to kick it all off I have a super special introductory offer For $290 you will receive your shoot, with pre shoot consultation, hair and make up PLUS your fave image, beautifully, edited, printed, and mounted with no obligation to purchase further images. This is limited to the first 6 bookings though!!! So be quick to register your interest. Don’t hesitate to shoot me a message to ask me anything and to get some more info on how it all works. I am here to help Note: these shoots can be for any age and any gender! My aim is to create a lovely spark of joy in the lives of anyone who wishes to participate All necessary precautions and sanitising are taken with regards to COVID 19.

15.01.2022 I love this Andy Warhol quote and I love that it feels so relevant for this tail end of 2020. I'm sure its not just me but after so many months living such a simple life it appears I am so much easier to entertain now! I am letting myself frolic in that simplicity rather than trying to get back to a past normal...

15.01.2022 So simple, so beautiful

15.01.2022 Yay!! Feeling a little bit proud! :) A little while ago I entered the Rise International Photography Awards and this morning woke up to an email telling me I had achieved 2 Bronze awards. I have never been confident enough to enter any awards before, but I think this year being so, lets just say 'unusual', I decided to mix things up a little and find something in my portfolio worthy of an entry. Feeling happy, inspired and keen to get stuck back into shooting, more than just self portraits, now that restrictions are starting to ease a little <3

15.01.2022 A little BLACK FRIDAY offer for families with children of ALL ages Are you due to update your family photos? (and lets face it, its never the wrong time) OR are you looking for that perfect gift for Christmas? Get beautiful family photos worth $325 for only $150 !!!! ... I’m taking bookings at a discounted rate, so you can either book a date for you and your family OR grab a voucher or two to give as Christmas pressies. Shoot dates need to be from January 4 2021 :) Sessions are limited so you’ll need to be fast to grab these! Sessions can be either in studio or out at a beautiful location of your choice. These sessions are for immediate family, should you be wanting extended family sessions, please call me to discuss further. You will enjoy the fun of a session for around an hour and when you come to view your photos you will also be gifted 1 beautifully edited and matted photo of your choice to say ‘thank you’, with the other photos available to purchase, but no obligation.

15.01.2022 So yesterday was my Mum's birthday, and the number is getting pretty high, but that is total cause for celebration so we marked the occasion with dinner and a photo shoot! My Mum was up for anything, bless her, so I ended up with this cool AF Nan shot! I think she likes it <3

14.01.2022 ****STILL A COUPLE OF SPOTS LEFT**** MUMS!! Do you have someone in your life turning 18 or doing Year 12 this year?? I have an idea I always thought would be a winner.

13.01.2022 So, here we are day 3 in Iso 2.0. And here is where my new profile pic was going to go! But at the very last minute I decided it was too perky for our current vibe. It's going to have to wait. It totally has more of a coming out of Iso feel. So in the mean time I am going with this one! It's more fitting I think. A little thoughtful and dreamworldy (if thats a word) and not totally in reality... I was one of those who said, nah we won't go back, we’ve totally got this!... I was obviously wrong and I was a little shaken by the fact that I was so naively wrong. But now that I am here I am reminded of Iso 1.0 and how good it was to just slow down and live in the moment. You know, that thing we are always trying to do! I am remembering how Iso 1.0 was an amazing time of pottering around at home and doing some things I had actually been wanting to do for just the longest time! Today I have watched the wind and rain, felt the warmth in my home and patted our cats. I have knit, read, cooked, chatted, edited a few photos, and made myself a new mask. I would have made more, but elastic is no longer in existence apparently ;) I am sitting here with a glass of red whilst my veggie soup cooks along with a last minute addition of pulled pork to make it a little fancier. It is Saturday night after all ;) I know I am lucky and I know there are others not doing it the same as me. I have never felt more grateful for all I have. I know I am not the only one who is feeling grateful and I think adding a little more gratitude to the stratosphere we are taking a small step in the right direction <3 If you need me, I will be here <3 Thanks Ange Rae Photography for making me look less like a deer in the headlights than I expected ;)

12.01.2022 As well as yesterday being International Womens Day March is also Womens History Month. There are so many amazing women in our history I have found a few to share with you. First up its Annette Kellerman. And nope, I had never heard of her either, but she was pretty bloody impressive A true pioneer and so ahead of her time!! Annette Kellerman... Born in Sydney 1886 Began swimming to overcome Ricketts in her legs which required her to wear steel braces. By 13 the swimming had almost completely healed them. One of the first women to wear a one piece bathing suit, instead of the approved pantaloons. They were so popular that she started her own line of swimming costumes. Was influential in popularising the sport of synchronised swimming. In 1905 she was one of the first women to attempt to swim the English Channel. Appeared in 14 films, usually aquatic themed, where she performed her own stunts - including diving into a pool of crocodiles. In 1916 she was the first actress to appear fully nude in a Hollywood production, ‘A Daughter of the Gods’ In 1908 a study of 3,000 women conducted by a Harvard professor described her as the Perfect Woman, due to the similarity of her physical attributes to Venus de Milo. In 1912 the New York Times called her the Perfectly formed woman She was an advocate for women’s health, formulated a mail order diet and fitness regime, undertaken by thousands of women. In this photo of Esther Williams, who played her in the movie 'Million Dollar Babies', Annette Kellerman is behind the camera.

10.01.2022 Couldn’t resist sharing this one! I bet we all have little things we’ve never told anyone! I must eat a mint before my run each morning I also always always wear rubber gloves to wash up! I thought that was normal but apparently not What do you do??

09.01.2022 Feeling happy and proud of regional Victoria for getting to a place we can start to open back up! Life can start to be a little bit more fun from midnight tomorrow night! :) I didn't realise how much I wanted to be able to do more 'things' but I am feeling so happy :) So happy in fact that this morning I dragged a bestie down to Bells so I could capture a huge jump for joy in anticipation of todays good news for our little patch of the world! My next thought is obviously c'mon Melbs, you're next! I want my whole state to be happy and free again!

07.01.2022 It's Official! The Update is IN! Masks CAN be removed WHILE BEING PROFESSIONALLY PHOTOGRAPHED. [THIS IS CURRENT FOR REGIONAL VICTORIA ONLY - Metro Melbourne will follow when permitted to work]... With the recent easing of restrictions there has been a bit of a grey area for photographers, but it has now officially been clarified so I am happily now taking bookings for outdoor family shoots which is such great timing as photos are such a popular Xmas pressie :)

06.01.2022 Who doesn’t love an amazing before and after! Blown away by this hair colour and makeup transformation on @paristaylorb by the talented @makeupbymeagannash! Very cool #hair #makeup #makeover #transformation #gorgeous #beforeandafter #beautiful #lovemyjoband

05.01.2022 This plant sits on my bedside table and everyday I look at it and think damn that's a good looking plant, and I also think how have I not only kept it alive, but helped it to flourish! Hopefully I have not spoken too soon AND its probably only me that knows this piece of useless information, but black rabbits are incredibly rare! Any kind of ornamental or toy rabbit is just never black! So these two little guys are pretty special

03.01.2022 I love this project! Very effective use of photography! The emotion they feel seeing themselves tattoo free is incredible!

03.01.2022 Have totally hit the ground running since restrictions have eased a little further and I might not be used to this cracking pace, but I am def loving it! Plenty of editing happening over here, but I just stopped to share this moment of when you just need a hug from your big sister!! Just too ridiculously sweet

03.01.2022 The loveliest of lovely things happened today! I came home from working to a parcel, which in itself is always lovely, but this parcel was more special than most! This parcel had THIS little poppet in it Thank you Aileen, you totally made my day! Aileen is a lovely friend from way back in my corporate days who I haven't seen for years, but who has just restored my faith of the good in people! And the timing is beyond perfect!! Life is clearly crazy at the moment an...d I have been struggling with seeing so much blame and so little self reflection, then BAM this happens! I will totally be paying it forward

02.01.2022 Mums!! I am taking a few more bookings for my ridiculously fun shoots for those turning 18 and/or doing year 12 this year! I’m getting excited to hopefully very soon be heading out of our current level of lockdown and I'm so keen to be able to start work again. Sadly, our 18 year old are missing out on so much this year! No year 12 formal ... NO 18th parties NO nights at the pub Not even just hanging out at home with mates... A creative photo shoot, here in my studio in Torquay, with hair and make up (optional) is not only fun, but a great way to mark this time in their lives year with some beautiful photos, that will become priceless memories.

01.01.2022 My dad is now happily home from hospital having a lovely relaxing weekend being fussed over by my mum, after suffering a heart attack a week or so ago! Makes me realise even more just how important this photo is going to be one day! It’s never the wrong time to take a photo of someone you love

01.01.2022 Sooo I wanted to post to my page to acknowledge International Womens Day! I thought, I am a photographer predominately for women so it would be rude not to! Then I thought what can I say of any significance, how do I feel, what’s important? So I went down a Pinterest rabbit hole of inspiring women and it was the just the best experience! I highly recommend it if you need a boost. Basically, women are beyond incredible, and daily I am grateful for all the strong women I am ...lucky enough to have in my life, and man do I know some AMAZING women! Here I am pictured with a just a couple of them Nothing makes me happier than to see women supporting women, it literally brings a tear of joy to my eye, but conversely nothing makes me sadder than to see we still need to convince a certain percentage of the population of said incredibleness The word ‘Feminist’ has clearly gained some negative connotations but why!! Feminist literally means to fight for the equality of ALL people. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Women are people! Pro-women isn’t anti-men! And this quote says it all... I am a feminist! I’ve been a female for a long time now. It’d be stupid not to be on my own side! -Maya Angelou HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY 2021 EVERYONE <3

01.01.2022 Just scraped in with this one before Stage 3 kicked back in As always amazing hair and makeup by @makeupbymeagannash and cute as jewellery by @someonelikejune But seriously that hair is just to die for @paristaylorb #photoshoot #torquayphotographer #geelongwomeninbusiness #geelongphotographer #geelongcreatives #surfcoastcreatives
