25.01.2022 So beautifully said... I had to share this wonderful message
24.01.2022 Our beautiful daughter Maddie’s new addition to her business Maddison Jayne Photography
24.01.2022 Take care everyone
24.01.2022 Meet Fiona... Fiona is one half of our Mother & Son team. They are always committed to quality service for clients.
21.01.2022 Christmas brunch with the wonderful team this morning. Thank you to all team members here and those unable to attend for all the hard work and dedication you give to the clients and service all year round, it is truly appreciated. Thanks for a lovely morning of laughs and catch up. Thanks also to River Cruz Cafe for excellent service, meals and drinks.
20.01.2022 The message is simple. STAY AT HOME. This beautiful bunch of friends are also photographers, passionate about the industry, but also conscious about making the ...right decision to close their business not only because we were told to, but also because its the right thing to do. We are a non essential business meaning we should not be operating. I have had several messages over the last week or so whether I will be doing the drive way sessions and it is a definite no all for the reasons I have mentioned above. Thank you to all of those that have taken the restrictions seriously, for my families safety and yours. I can't wait to be out photographing amazing weddings and teenie newborns again, but until then I will be staying at home #stayathome #sharedandspreadthemessage Emma Dahl Photography Nina Maree Maddison Jayne Photography Lucanna Photography by Ash Maben Trudi Bartley Photographer Sarah Lette Photography + Film Three Peonies Photography See more

16.01.2022 I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about ju...st driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware. 'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her.. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.' 'Oh, you're such a good boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive through downtown?' 'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly.. 'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice. I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice..'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. 'What route would you like me to take?' I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired.Let's go now'. We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her. I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. 'How much do I owe you?' She asked, reaching into her purse. 'Nothing,' I said 'You have to make a living,' she answered. 'There are other passengers,' I responded. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto me tightly. 'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said. 'Thank you.' I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut.It was the sound of the closing of a life.. I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day,I could hardly talk.What if that woman had gotten an angry driver,or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away? On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life. We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID ~BUT~THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL. At the bottom of this great story was a request to forward this - I deleted that request because if you have read to this point, you won't have to be asked to pass it along you just will... Thank you, my friend... Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

Check in on that elderly neighbour.. a phone call can make a world of difference to brighten a day particularly for the elderly and lonely to know are being thought of. Take care

12.01.2022 Had to share these beautiful wedding photos by our daughter Maddison Jayne Photography
12.01.2022 Read this and had to share... it is very insightful for those who dont understand Autoimmune Diseases... Quick lesson about autoimmune diseases. It takes an average of three years and five doctors for a person to get a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. It is a disease where instead of your white blood cells protecting your body from invaders, they turn around and attack your cells, tissues and organs. Chronic fatigue is another symptom. It is not a cold or the flu, ...you will never get better, and even a nap will not help. Just eating a salad and hitting the gym wont slim your face or get the pounds off. Sleeping 10 hours doesnt leave you well rested, ever. The last minute changes in plans because that just got ran over feeling never makes appointments, it just walks in whenever you arent ready. Painful joints, muscles and bones, dry skin, breaking hair, hair loss, mood swings, and depression are just the tip of the iceberg. You are also prone to having multiple autoimmune diseases, they typically come in pairs of two. You easily catch viral and bacterial infections. You have days where no matter how hard you try, you just cant smile for anyone. I urge you to think twice before passing judgment and thinking our nation is overreacting to the extra measures being taken to curb the spread of this virus. YOU might be able to recover from it no problem however, carry it to someone with an autoimmune disease and that individual wont be as lucky. I am watching the ones who will take the time to read this entire post and react. Please, in honor of someone who is fighting Rheumatoid Arthritis,MDS, POTS, MCAD, Sjogren's, Scleroderma, Hashimoto Disease, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Sarcoidosis, Hepatitis, Raynauld's Syndrome, Diabetes, Mold Illness, Celiac, CROHNS, Ulcerative Colitis, Pemphigus, SPS, MS, PBC, Psoriatic Arthritis, CIDP, MMN And GPA, copy and paste to your page and reply "DONE" on mine.
12.01.2022 My support circle. Every single one of these incredibly talented, gorgeous souls have supported me one way or another throughout this pandemic, and long beforeh...and as well. I am so blessed to have their friendship and so in awe of their strength and their courage to do the right thing. You will not see any of us offering driveway sessions' or 'shop front sessions' which completely disregard social distancing and the severity of the pandemic that were facing. We will be staying at home to keep ourselves, our families and your families safe, because that is the most important thing. We will be respecting the restrictions that are in place to flatten the curve and we genuinely thank those who are doing the same. The message is simple: STAY HOME. I'm so honoured to stand alongside these incredible photographers while we ride this out together #communityovercompetition #stayhome #inthistogether Lucanna Photography by Ash Maben Morgan Parremore Photography Nina Maree Maddison Jayne Sarah Lette Photography + Film Trudi Bartley Photographer Three Peonies Photography
