Do what you love.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. – Rumi. This is my final series of edits from the Rhoeo spathacea shoot. This particular day (I’m writing this post the same night) I was feeling a little out of sorts. It was hot and humid and we’d been out all day. My…

Best Wishes for 2019
Happy New Year everyone. It was a wonderful 2018 in many ways, with some not great parts. For me, it was the year that kikki.K found me on Instagram and asked me to collaborate with them on an amazing project and I’m so happy with how it turned out. In 2018, I started the year…

Elusive.
Lying awake, her mind races. So much going on in her head. Why can’t she just switch it off? It’s so frustrating. She’s exhausted, has not had a decent night’s sleep in days. Can barely keep her eyes open, but as soon as she lays down, everything changes. She’s been in bed for over two…

Where You Want to Be.
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…

Favourite Place/Space
I have had a few favourite places and I’ve spoken about them before. I used to say that the Qantas lounge was one of my favourite places because it meant that I was almost home. It meant that I could have a glass of wine and call a favourite person or read a good book…

A Little Bit of Flatlay Fun
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…

Triggers
Silently, she began to weep. Feeling profoundly sorry for herself, she rolled over and hugged the pillow tighter against her chest and let the tears fall. She felt pain, she felt sadness, but most of all she felt disappointment. She had given so much of herself over and felt cheated. And ruined. How had it come…

Leave the World Behind
“Shall we?”, she asked excitedly, looking over at him. Usually, she preferred to be in control of the car herself, but with him, she loved not driving. It made her feel safe and protected, deliciously female. Her hand rested on his leg, her body turned slightly towards him. He looked over at her, smiling, and…

A Day in the Life & A Play With Word Count
Hey Siri. Ding. What time is it? It’s 6:15am. Way too early. (She’s hilarious). My alarm is set for 6:35am but I decide to get up anyway. I hear Gidget stretching and I ask her how she is. She stretches again, shakes herself as dogs do, and pounces on the spot right by my head,…

Opinion Piece
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…
