One of the model was a more mature girl by the name of Sarah.
I had the pleasure of shooting her using natural light next to one of the windows in the upstairs studio.
The Look I was going for was a more soft Boudoir type look and I think I managed to capture that in this photo.
I found it really hard shooting using natural light. I was using a new Samyang 85mm f/1.4 lens that I bought. The look I wanted required me to shoot it at 1.4 but the light at the window was fairly bright so I was constantly hitting the ceiling of how low the ISO could go and how high shutter speed I had.

I had a blast of a day this Sunday participating in a modelling workshop
with Studio 1A...22 models, 10 makeup artists, 20 sets and lots of
opportunity to take great photos.
I was totally buggered after shooting for 5 hours but it was great for building experience.
This was one of my favorite photos (many more to come) from the day.
Model: Taylia Lopez
Lighting & Set: Studio 1A

A cute moment of Lucas attempting to draw and with a very snotty nose.
This is a test shot using a new Samyang 85mm f/1.4 lens that I recently bought.
It
is a manual focus lens so it is harder to use (especially with the
kids), but this shot shows what beautiful results I am getting when
shooting wide open.

We are training Aiden at the moment. The other day he did a big one on the toilet and as a reward we gave him the dinosaur that we had promised him.

My Aunty and her husband arrived to Australia a couple of days ago and will be traveling around the country for the next 5 weeks.
They asked if they could come over for dinner one evening to see where/how we live, so Saturday night we hosted them at our place.
It is not often that I have relatives in this part of the world, so when it does happen then it is nice even if it is just for a short visit.
The menu was Kims lemon pepper prawns for starters, Duck breast with home made bearnaise and raspberry creme brulee for desert (plus a lot of other goodies such as dips and cheese and wine).
They were supposed to have arrived the night before but their flight was delayed so they arrived 6am in the morning going straight to their hotel and then straight onto a bicycle tour around Sydney. From there they went straight to our place...they must have been buggered...

Last weekend we went down to La Perouse to do some family photos as we needed some new ones. We decided to do some on the lawn in front of the tower.
Lucas was not in the mood to have his photo taken and wanted to be held all the time so we decided to stick to using the picture frame that I had brought along.
Aiden on the other hand was having a blast of a time running, climbing and playing.

Monday it was St Patricks day (an Irish thing) and at daycare they were celebrating it by putting colour and hairspray in the kids hair (Green is the Irish National colour).
Aiden came back with very spiky hair and was his own cheeky self about it...

The other day we went to the park to play with the kids.
I brought the camera along to take a few shots of Lucas on the swing.
He was so tired that he almost fell asleep on the swing.
I also managed to get a couple of great photos of Aiden.

The other day Aiden figured out how to pedal his big bike (with support wheels).
He was very proud and keen to get out riding.

The other day Aiden came back from daycare with face paint around his eyes proudly saying that he was a super hero.
