While shooting a commercial shoot on the weekend, during a break, I shoot the below (love when previous clients help out)…

Like the Sunshine, this makes me smile – this is what I love doing…

Enjoy your Sunshine today…

Last Friday, our youngest pipped up and advised that he had 15 days to his Birthday, last Friday I realised I had to come up for air.

We are in March, where did January and February go?  I know we are all feeling it a little more and more these days – time is just going so fast…

Due to the weather, all sporting events and our garage sale where canned.  We had a weekend, apart from a few shoots that we where together…

The boys had a great day on Saturday catching up with Don, while D and I went location hunting – we were not disappointed – sooo looking forward to the Rock Ya Dress Shoot next Sunday…

Yesterday saw us head up to North Pine Dam to help raise funds for Cancer Research, with Team Awsum, for  Share for a Cure )and Fishing Day.  We had canned the garage Sale due to the weather, so of course the sun was out – not for long though :)   The boys fished in the rain, but no fish were caught.  Jay and Ash  Shaved for A Cure.  This was a spontaneous decision so we only have a few sponsors for the boy’s (us) – if you would like to sponsor the boys, please email me – mel@pointshootplay.com or check out The World’s Greatest Shave – the boys are part of  Team Awsum.

Photos to come..

A lot of words in this post, cannot leave you without a pic.   I have been re editing a few pics from last year , most of my clients in the last couple of weeks, have requested not to show their images on the blog, so here is Andrea from a shoot in April last year.

The below isn’t really outside my comfort zone – this is what I love creating – but it is outside out of comfort zones and dare i say tastes…

I am a true believer that you need to create for you…  If you Love It |Create it, you will not be able to please everyone – but this is for you, edit the way you need to and then edit for you…  Those that know me, know that I struggle with this (even though I truly believe it-lol) we are who we are…

Have a great rainy Sunday – I will be teaching today and loving it – funny – I think there has only been 3 non wet days when I have taught at Caloundra….

Both boys are starting new schools tomorrow -both very excited…

With school going back, our classes start to become a little more regular – with the wonderful response from  the 1: 1 sessions, during December and January, we have decided to continue with these either at your place, our place or your local scrapbook store – and soon from the wonderful Sassi Photography Studio…
