wedding season...

Here's little pic from a wedding I photographed on the weekend. At this point the bride was preparing to walk down the path to meet her groom for the ceremony. Waiting for her parents to accompany her for the walk she gripped on to that bouquet as tight as she could and took the deepest of breaths. 

I seriously don't think that I will ever tire of photographing weddings, capturing the love & emotion together with the amazing detailing of a bride and grooms special day is something I consider to be a privilege and I'm thrilled to have a calendar full of them this season. 

it's getting closer...

Just a fun little pic from a photo shoot I had recently for my Janis House Photography Christmas cards for this year - oh I'm sure you can image the state of my kitchen after these little helpers were in there. 

I look forward to sharing the festive pics with you soon.

swinging at the studio...

...this morning we had the tough choice of either staying at home and attending to some long overdue domestic duties or visiting the well known Christmas at the Studio boutique market - I am sure you can guess what one!

something sydney...

It's no secret that I love a weekend getaway to sydney, the food, the harbour, the rocks and shops are always on my to do list and I've just had the most fantastic few days there.

With every visit I just have to stop by and admire the Opera House, something I think everyone should do is the behind the scenes tour there - amazing! 

This visit saw me cross three things off from my must do in Sydney list, climbing the bridge, visiting the Eveleigh markets and dining at Billy Kwong. All were fabulous especially the much anticipated experience at Billy Kwong! 

...and if I were ever to move to Sydney the fine food store at the Rocks would surely have to become my local coffee shop. With fantastic provisions, superb coffee and oh so friendly staff all set in a super stylish setting I was a happy little visitor having this gem at our doorstep.

...oh I hope so...

On my way to a family christening looking my very Sydney best xx

blessed...

oh yes I am busy, in fact I would say crazy busy but busy with fabulous things, social events, work and the like. Through these busy times and always I feel blessed to have a super cool assistant by my side. She's always ready to help me on a photo shoot, to aid me in the kitchen or to have a poodle with me at the shops. I'm all too aware that the end of this year is drawing near and with that comes the commencement of her primary school years. I know she's ready and I know she'll love it but I also know that it just won't be the same xx

I'm sure this comes as no surprise...

...but yes, the end of the year is drawing near so it's time for me to talk about my 2013 calendar. 

Gorgeously compact at 5 x 7 inches in size and held together with a magnetic bulldog clip ready for the fridge or office they are perfect for posting, ideal for gifting and well...... I think they are just simply divine - $25 each, contact me to order.  

OK, that's enough shameless self promotion, I hope to see you at Red Hill Market tomorrow, stop by and say Hi if you make it along!
