I was hoping to start the New Year back with a post on Monday just gone with an adorable Newborn session I had and a mention of up coming classes that we have.

Come Monday afternoon with the news and footage of Toowoomba and surrounds, calls and emails to family, friends and clients to ensure their safety took front seat.

Tuesday and came, like others in Brisbane we went on with our normal day’s activities, with the rain not letting up, we knew something wasn’t right.  Kids collected from vacation care early, before the roads where closed and the creek beds broke.

Over the next few days we watch with aches in our hearts as Mother Nature, once again reminded us that we are not in control.  The people of Brisbane, QLD and the nation have set upped – so many have lost so much.

Below are few pages and sites that you may find useful with information on donations required, where to registered to help.

Only in Toowoomba… Last Thursday and Saturday saw me with Model Student  - our Senior Photography sister of Meloo Photography in Toowoomba.
Mother Nature decided that we needed reminding on the other 3 seasons in a span of 45 mins.
Thursday I was photographing the lovely Miss Sarah.  Sarah’s mum Michelle has been to a few Point Shoot Play Classes and was after something a little different  for Sarah’s pre formal photos.

Back in Toowoomba again on Saturday for a couple of shoots.  Happy to say Mother Nature was in a better mood.
First up was the gorgeous Ashleigh, mum Angella has also been to a few Point Shoot Play classes and being a talent designer for various Scrapbook companies was after something a little different to capture Ashleigh’s true essence with her pre formal photos.  For Ashleigh, we started at Toowoomba Station and finished up at my new fave field….


After Ashleigh’s whirlwind shoot -just before the rains came (for all of 10 mins :) )  it was time to Trash Miss Emma’s dress (not really mum – promise.)

First stop the field…

And then the water…

Thanks again for having me…
