Portrait session: Tania - Sweden.

Oh Hello!

I am so excited to share with you this portrait session of my lovely cousin Tania in her home country Sweden (lucky girl). Wayne and I still talk about moving there like it's really going to happen (and it won't ever) but we still like to dream about it.

The ever so hilarious Tania who is incredibly intelligent with a glowing musical talent, an amazing taste in fashion and the ability to speak a bazillion languages. It's no wonder we get along (he he). Pretty sure if Tania was in Melbourne I'd have my camera in her face all the time. I'm trying to convince her to visit us here.

I don't know if this relates to my Middle Eastern heritage but there is a sense of priority when it comes to extended family in my life. It's really important for me to try and keep in touch with all of my aunties, uncles and of course cousins. Sadly we are all living in different countries so it can be really difficult especially when we miss important milestones.

My cousins are scattered across New Zealand, USA, and Sweden. I have yet to meet my USA cousins, haven't seen them in over 20 years. USA will definitely be our next destination.

I get to see Tania roughly every 6 years. I first met her when she was about 6 and every time she's different so of course each visit is amazing. Our Dads are brothers, a very special connection as both of our dads are quite similar. It's the most surreal feeling to see their similarities unfold. It's something I see rarely so I soak up every moment with a few chuckles here and there.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do this session and I hope we can do it every time we see each other - these memories are so precious.

Kate | Mamiya with 120 Kodak tri-x film.

I can't believe it took me this long to develop this film, I took it all the way back in February. I was doing a fun shoot with my friend Kate, and I know a lot of you have seen this shoot here, it's one my favourite shoots ever. It was only up until the last few minutes that I remembered I had my Mamiya in the car, so I grabbed it and took a few snaps.

Oh boy, these are unedited and I am in love. Film grain, dust, the lot is just magical.

Hello!

Well a quick update from me. I'm back in Melbourne while my husband is nerding it up in Sydney. I've decided to come back for a few reasons, but the main one is that we were re-located to the west of Sydney which pretty much sucks! and I didn't want to have to pay for my commute from the west to the city for work especially if I already have paid for my public transport here in Melbourne.
My husband is visiting me every weekend which is fine, and it's only for another 2 months. It's a good opportunity for me to catch up with family and friends during the week.

We have some exciting plans to travel mid year - not ready to share info yet but I will soon (promise).

Somehow the word is getting out and a few brides have already approached me about wedding photos. If you are a person spreading the word out there about my work, I thank you very much!

I will leave you with photos I took of Bianca (from Oh my Creative)  tonight - this gorgeous empty land across from my home has the most amazing views of sunsets and mister moon made an appearance.

My lovely and gorgeous friend Bianca from Oh my! Creative.

Isn't she stunning? I was testing the light at a wedding we photographed on Saturday. I love love love natural lighting and of course natural beauty.What a perfect combination!

It was the first time Bianca and I officially worked together, and I must say she is so easy to work with, she's definitely a keeper.

Oh so many more photos to share with you. Soon I promise x
