One Manly afternoon

The other day, Jeremy and Jaiden visited me at work to take me out to dinner (Jeremy making it up to me/sucking up) and surprised me with roses in hand and then went to Manly for dinner.

We walked the streets and wharf, looking for restaurants to eat, sat down on the stairs/pier enjoying the sunset and just watching people come from work off the ferry and onto their bikes. What a lifestyle they had, we thought.

Here's a few shots I took while out, embracing the moment.

photoshoot - bath time edition.

This afternoon, after Jaiden's session of watching The Lion King and having a little snack that consisted of some rice crackers and blackcurrant juice, I gave him a bath... Truthfully because he made a poo and it smelt pretty bad, but it didn't turn out to be as bad as I thought lol.

But anyway, since I had a few to spare and I really wanted to, I took some photo's before, during and after his bath. It was about time I had updated his photo's though, it had been a while since I took a heap of photo's.

Nothin' but LOVE for you ♥

Another Photoshoot

As I mentioned before, I was doing another photoshoot today and I got to be in character. Since my Jess' concept was 'The 7 deadly sins' I had to play for 'Greed' and 'Anger', since I have the bitch face and all lol. Stacee did 'sad' and the boys were just 'extra's'. So Jeremy and I had a pretty early start which was at 8am, got ready and then headed to get food and picked up Chris, Stacee and Jess, then went off to UNSW Darlinghurst campus.

Since we were a little early, we just chilled at their 'leisure' rooms and had a coffee before starting off. I was pretty amazed at the fact that everyone had a Mac laptop and P/C there lol, but then again, it's encouraged for design, etc. But anyway, we then got started and it was pretty fun! But kind of hard getting my eyes right because in every frame, I always conveyed a different message for 'greed' but for anger, it was a lot easier, I guess I just got used to it and also the make up helped alot.

After 3 hours of shooting, we finally finished and took very good frames! And we were all exhausted! We were going to head out to lunch but decided to just get something 'light' because we had dinner planned with my family. After dropping everyone off, buying ingredients for tomorrow's menu and being stuck in traffic, we didn't have time to go home and rest a little but instead went straight to dinner.

It was my cousin Roden's 20th birthday so we just had my side of the family at dinner and his lovely girlfriend Samantha. Yet again, attended another buffet, so I didn't eat much lol I was pretty tired too. So we left pretty early aswell because Jeremy has work in the morning.

p.s. I received the photo's of my family photoshoot & I'll upload them tomorrow!

Photoshoot Day

Last week, we got asked to be featured in a photoshoot for our friend Jess' Uni Major, as she was doing the concept of 'Capturing the priceless moments' on parenting. Before heading to the shoot, we ate lunch at a Mexican place which was very filling! Much like Mad Mex in the city. Then we headed out to the Darlinghurst UNSW Campus where the studio's were. And when we got there, the admin lady was saying that they don't allow kids being in the studio/s because of OH&S reasons, since they weren't insured or something under that.

So we just had a little shoot on the steps outside the studio before heading back to the car. And then headed off to Nurragingy Reserve to take more photo's by the lake/fountain. We pretty much just improvised with the whole 'studio' thing. But still captured great photo's! I can't wait to get them off Jess! But Jeremy and I will be heading back to the studio next week for another shoot. Not sure what this is about though lol.

Overall, today was such a great day, being out in the sun and enjoying the day with my two boys, being luvo's and getting photo's taken. I'm in need of new family photo's lol. Also had fun with the conversations we were having. I loved how Jeremy and Jess got along, thought they wouldn't and I had to do all the talking but it was the other way around lol.
