    For this little “Take time for you” moment in time, I played with some editing as well. x desleyjane

    Moments in Time 1

    A wise man recently told me that you have to put your own oxygen mask on first, before helping others. It’s funny, I heard that on average twice a week for 12 years on airplanes and I didn’t really think about it applying to “real life”. Sometimes, you just have to take time for yourself.…

    Five Minutes with a Disbud – RegularRandom

    I love to bump up the exposure on shots with a white background, and this time I couldn’t help but play with some Lightroom presets in editing. Would you like to join in the RegularRandom event? Here’s how: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more! try to not…

    Remember the Cookie?

    Remember the Mother’s Day cookie? Well of course I had to get a whole lot of shots with it. It was so cute. I love the pink marble effect in the icing. At the end of the post, I’ve included some shots with my Traveler’s Notebook journal as well. I still haven’t eaten it, I…

    Hyacinths from the Bouquet

    The Mother’s Day bouquet that I put together was really a lot of fun for me – I took a lot of shots, and used parts of it in a few different shoots. I have a few more to come, but this is the last set of flowers alone. I’ve included a shot of the…

    From the Bouquet

    Someone! Can you tell me what these very pretty flowers are? These were “for quick sale” out the front of the florists and I thought they would look fabulous in my bouquet. Love these. x desleyjane

    Here are the yellow-green buds of the lizzianthus flowers from yesterday. Just a reminder, here is the original bouquet and one of the other lizzianthus flowers. x desleyjane

    Lizianthus 1

    I picked up a few small bunches of flowers and put them together for a number of photo shoots. I’ve photographed lizzianthus a few times, they are an intriguing flower – the buds are a green-yellow colour but the flowers are a gorgeous soft pink. Here are some shots, more to come. Oh, and the…

    Five Minutes on Mother’s Day – RegularRandom

    Happy Mother’s Day to my mama and all the other mamas out there. I picked up this gorgeous cookie on Friday and have been saving it for a pretty little Mother’s Day shoot. These were all shot in five minutes, but yes I cheated a little and took the cookie off the plate. Second set…

    Five Minutes F(rose)n in Darkness – RegularRandom

    Remember when Julie and I shot frozen flowers? One of the flowers was a peach-coloured rose – so pretty. Julie has this great dark corner set up with a scarred old wooden table, so we set up the ice block there to shoot it in the dark, so different to the light and bright shots…

    Five Minutes with a Sunset Sky – RegularRandom

    I promised I would be back with RegularRandom this week and I almost didn’t make it. As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been sick with the flu (or something) and it has been quite nasty. I’ve spent my whole weekend in a pretty drowsy state. But tonight, I did pop out onto the…
