My parents were awesome.

My parents were awesome.

It is difficult to pinpoint what is so compelling about ‘My Parents Were Awesome’.
The simple question – how did your folks look before they were parents? – is the basis for this extraordinary photoblog. Blogger Eliot Glazer knew that “Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, … [Read more.]

The BigShot Project

Most people can recall a school project that had a lasting impact, whether it was a topic that really interested them or a project they put extra effort into. My most memorable school project was making a pinhole camera when I was eleven years old. I found the process fascinating and the results thrilling. To … [Read more.]

Watch your kids grow

Watch your kids grow

Having children has given my photography habit a whole new meaning. Although I haven’t been particularly good at writing down my kids’ milestones, I have made a photo album for each of them which includes a picture taken on the ‘day they were born’ of each month. For example, my son who was born on … [Read more.]

Picture perfect with ShutterBuddy

Picture perfect with ShutterBuddy

Now that I’m the mother of an eight-month-old, I know why there are so few photos of me as a baby – the perfect picture is just so hard to capture, and in that pre-digital age, I’m sure most mums and dads just got frustrated and gave up.

Come on and get snappy with a Lego camera!

Come on and get snappy with a Lego camera!

We adore Lego in our house. We’ve had a myriad of helicopters, transporters, dinosaurs, cars and buildings, but we’ve never seen anything like the soon-to-be-released Lego camera!

Dog and Pony Photography

Dog and Pony Photography

As a mother of two young children, I am constantly trying to capture special moments on the camera to keep forever. We all know how tough this can be, even with the best equipment (and in my case a husband who is a photographer). We have some amazing photos of our kids, but none with … [Read more.]

A touch of retro for your iPhone or camera?

A touch of retro for your iPhone or camera?

How many of us have children who just adore phones? I’d say almost all. It seems to be an innate quality that children are infatuated by phones – and our mobiles tend to be given the most ‘love.’ My daughter has a play phone and uses her other toys as makeshift phones (like the wooden … [Read more.]

Monsterpod – where no tripod has gone before…

 

Ever thought it would be great to capture the moment at a birthday party, looking down on the birthday cake as kids crammed in to blow out the candles? Or how cool it would be to take a picture from the inside bend of a curly slide as your kids came racing down? Meet the … [Read more.]

Curator of your own photos

Curator of your own photos

 

My husband often jokes that I could feed a small army for a year with the amount of money I spend on photography, printing and framing. I have pointed out that it is equivalent (or less) to his annual spend on coffee… we all have our vices! I admit I do have a bit of a … [Read more.]

Pop art portraits

Pop art portraits

 

I treasure the professional portraits I’ve had taken of my children. The photographers captured certain expressions and looks that are ‘so them’. However, mainstream portraits are not everyone’s style. The current trend to black and white images, portraits that are really close-up or gathering all the kids together for a photo session in the park, … [Read more.]
