Am I where I wanted to be? Did I get here easily? Did I make a sacrifice? Did I take a sharp left… when I should have turned right? ⁃ Darren Hayes, Where You Want To Be. We all have our sliding doors moments, I’m sure. What if? What if things were different? What would…

I love flatlay photography – it’s my favourite type of product photography. I love pottering around the house, looking for objects that work perfectly together in the shot. This pink shoot had been percolating around in my head for a while. I started this morning, by stopping off at my local bakery on the way…

Just a quick note to wish you a very Merry Christmas. It’s Christmas morning here and I’m about to hop out of bed for a coffee and see if anyone is awake. I want to thank all of you for your support this year. It’s been a difficult last month after surgery and I haven’t…

Last week’s RegularRandom featured a pink posey of rosebuds sent to me by my dear friend Lucile. When I did that shoot, I also shot a morning tea setup for me and my mum and I wanted to share that with you here. I found the colours so vibrant and beautiful. It’s been 18 days…

As most of you know, I had an x-ray and an ultrasound on my shoulder last week to try to figure out what’s going on. It was an incredibly painful experience, maneuvering my arm into all sorts of crazy positions. I saw the doctor on Friday to get the results and he recommended I see…

Aren’t all my posts just my opinion? I’m supposed to critique something or give my opinion on a topic. I don’t like critiquing things (except punctuation and grammar of course – I love that!) but I do have a lot of opinions about a lot of things. Today though, I think I’ll discuss this writing…

For our Finding Everyday Inspiration task today (Saturday, September 9th), I was to take inspiration from the world around me. Find a space and observe and write. Saturday is my sacred day. I like having no plans. I like waking up whenever I want, even though it’s almost always before 7. I make coffee and…

I shared images of Chocolate Cake for this week’s #RegularRandom a few days ago and my friend Meg of Snippets&Scraps inspired me to show you the context of the shoot. Take a look at her post featuring some magical ice patterns. I was creating a planning session – sure I was “planning” to eat the…

What do I do when I’m not writing? Sadly, I am not a writer. When I was at school (maybe around the age of 10?) I desperately wanted to be an author. I was an avid reader of Enid Blyton when I was young and then I was addicted to the Trixie Belden books in…

In recent years, I have made the move back to paper. I have planners to keep track of my day to day life, my work schedule, major projects, web analytics, training and education, my photography business, all of the things that make up my life, I keep on paper. In fact, I have a whole…
