Studio Shots of Dogs & Family - Jun15

The weekend gone was exceptionally busy as we were looking after our friend's beagles. Bronson and Wicket are a delight to look after - having four dogs around meant never a dull moment (and throw an energetic 18 month old boy in as well!).

I pulled out the studio lights from hiding and decided to attempt the near impossible - working with dogs and a child!

It was a fun shoot and I am pretty happy with the shots. Check them out.

Arthur's 80th Birthday Trip - Jun15

My father-in-law Arthur has just recently turned 80 so Jenn, Jonathan and I went down to her parent's place in Singleton, NSW to celebrate it.

My brother-in-law Chris and his fiance Jacinta also were present (they came up from Melbourne) plus my sister-in-law Jacquie and her husband Derek and son Steven were also there from Newcastle.

So it was a big family event! Below are shots from the event. We also visited a zoo in the Hunter Valley the next day which was very enjoyable. Jonathan loved it and was fascinated.

Enjoy the shots!
