oh dear...

...it's seems that I have lost July, my month to catch up is nearly over and well I've been busy doing lots of fun stuff including getting ready for this years Somers Art Fair - Sunday October 27th @ Somers Primary School. 

gold...

I've always thought that where we lived was gold! 

social butterfly...

I make friends wherever I go, I think this one especially liked that my shoe colour matched his ball! 

and now I do...

... Instagram

So I have to admit to been a little behind when it comes to social media but I have recently  caught on to Instagram and am loving the interaction that I have with my followers and with those who I follow. 

But before you take a peek please remember that the Instagram pics have been captured on the iphone unless stated otherwise! 

And in an effort to get even more technical (or to just further confuse myself) some of these Instagram pics are shared on my business facebook page along with lots of other bits and pieces from Janis House Photography.

You can follow me on Instagram - HERE

captured last night from Hastings jetty....

cold starts...

I have a friend who has a local radio show and during his Thursday morning show he put out a call for me provide him with a photo of the mornings sunrise. 

Here's what I could provide him with my reluctant 6 year old assistant in tow.

A big thanks to my gorgeous friend for making me a coffee whilst I walked around her farm and to the assistant for simply been the ace little thing that she is.

stay warm...........janis xx

heading south...

I've just returned from an amazing long weekend in Tasmania where I attended the Australian Institue of Professional Photographers annual conference.

 The highlight for me was the incredible workshop on Bruny Island with the talented Richard Bennet and Jill Mure. 

Hobart is seriously gorgeous even with it's freezing conditions and persistant rain and Bruny Island - well it's just paradise.

Any boat rides that involve a full length wet weather suit is bound to be fun!

The boat ride to Bruny was both fast and rough however incredibly picturesque. 

Richard Bennet - an incredibly talented inspiration who was so forthcoming with help and advice. 

Not a bad spot to cook up the catch of the day. 

Yum, thanks for the amazing food Jill Mure.

I hope to visit again when the weather is a little kinder - when I can climb to this point and not be saturated from the rain.
