I have just uploaded a page showcasing several templates on offer for invitations. There are a few options to take from birthdays, birth announcements and wedding as well as the normal save the date card and party invites. Please go here to check them out.

Also, I will like to congratulate M & S from the maternity session below on the arrival of a gorgeous baby boy. Congrats guys! I can’t wait to meet him.

Very Soon

This session was really a very short notice as the surprise can’t wait any longer since S just got 2 more weeks to go. We made the booking and confirmed it in just one day and then 2 days later, the session.

It was such a delight to photograph this family, who are very soon to be four. I had absolutely great time spending time with them and getting to know them as well as capturing some images for them. I cannot wait to meet another member of the family. Thank you for including me in this very special time. To M & S, here’s a little sneak peek for you!

And I’ve captured such a great moment in a little girl’s life, when everything is just perfect. Just gorgeous!

a quick share

judith — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 00:31:54 +0000

Ahhh! Finally, its happening, after a week of packing, cleaning and organising, we are moving to the new house so I will lose Internet for a couple of weeks since the house hasn’t got a phone line yet and of course the waiting of technician to come around for the connection is never fun. This is going to be “Unplugging” full time.

Anyway, I thought I’d share Josh’s assembly item yesterday. I didn’t take lots of photos instead used my 5D Mark II to take video, and I’d give credit to any videographer, it’s truly is a skill all on its own.

Tara wanted in on the action too, so I took a quick shot just before assembly with Josh’s dog that she wants to keep.

just a note…

hello and happy tuesday to all of you. I hope you had a great week. Over at our humble abode, things are a bit of a chaos with my head mulling over how we make the move as painless as possible. We are moving to a different house in the same town (funny enough just around the block) and to a house that would be much suited to our needs. And I’m hoping that Joshua’s asthma will stop now that we are moving to a house with split airconditioning as oppose to the ducted one we have in this old home. Hence, I have been busy organising the best way to move houses without the hassle of packing and unpacking (can we do that?)

I am also restoring and refurbishing some of the old furniture we have. Think silver leafing. Here is what I have in mind.

This is inspired from this blog. Enjoy your week and I wish to go back to taking some photos when we’re settled in the new house. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

nothing kind of days

judith — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:49:21 +0000

As much as I would like to say that I have been travelling to exotic places or booked out of my wits, but the truth is, it was more like nothing kind of days that even the usual update does not have very juicy details. Now, it doesn’t mean that I got nothing to do either, more like I am have been sent yo-yo in right-left, up-down motion with health tests, surgery, and the sorts. Nothing to worry about though, but the last few months have been spent making sure everything is ok so that when I get back to business, I can give my best.

So whilst getting me in tip-top shape, I have gotten myself this little beauty and I am having great fun playing and learning all about this. I love Diana. I love lomography! Really dreamy and romantic.

It looks like a toy and really feel like a toy when you use it because of all the plastic but its great, fully manual and so different from the digital SLR.

Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back for more updates, I am due for another great shoot soon.

mini portrait session

judith — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 08:29:14 +0000

As much as the school holidays is highly anticipated both by my kids and me, I got tons of things to do from packing, shifting and moving. We are not moving town but the time has come when we say yae and nae to some things that are accumulating in the shed.

But here is great news for all of you who have always wanted to get some great portraits of your little ones especially with their siblings.

If you are interested, gather two or three mums who would like to get their kids some portraits. The session will go from 15 to 30 minutes for each family and should be held on the second week of school holidays which is 13th-17th July 2010. Contact me if you are interested and I will give you all the details.

I am excited about something I’ve just got in the mail but that will have to wait until the next post. Have a great school holidays and stay safe!

In the picture

As the home entertainment scene seem to advance faster and faster before anyone can say ‘plasma television’, the introduction of three dimensional television has took the technology advancement market by storm. Now watching 3D TV has been the greatest milestone since the introduction of coloured television in the 70s. Wheww, we can’t even keep up, not to mention that it can be quite exorbitant to just have a decent home theatre system. I can’t help myself but think ‘what’s next?’ Will there be flying cars soon? or maybe people zooming around on their flying scooter? ok, maybe that’s just going overboard from the many sci-fi movies around.

Anyways, this fast technology advancement can also be seen not only in the normal household but also in photography. From the launch of digital camera to the high end medium format cameras, to the introduction of flash html for websites. Not to mention, the development of social networking. I’ve delayed, deliberated and waited but now I took the plunge and made my own facebook fanpage a while back. It would be a cool and different way to connect to everyone and I want to be able to grow this network with friends, clients and friends of clients, so come and join me on the page.

So come and join me here. Have a great week ahead!

nothing kind of days + totally rad actions

judith — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 07:39:19 +0000

Ok, it’s not that it’s really nothing kind of days but more like I can’t do anything really. I am not feeling the greatest with a horrible ‘pain’ and see myself curled up on the couch with some heat pads. And as much as I like to do something like probably dusting the house or doing the laundry to be productive, I have to stay on the couch (the least) and try to get better.

I have always wanted to try and play with some new actions and today gave me the chance to do it. Totally Rad Actions really rocks!!! totally! And the actions are so easy to use and very customisable to what you want. Totally rocking in my books.

This photos uses the TRA super fun happy and contrast (TRA volume 1)

The next photo uses TRA black and white with a boost on contrast and saturation before.

Just to note that I do not like to spend too much time on processing my images so I make it a point to get the photo right as perfectly as possible in camera, but sometimes a little boost is needed to make it really great, and that I use my favourite actions from MCP, Kubota and now TRA. Yay for great actions. Happy Thursday!

athletics carnival fun

judith — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:57:00 +0000

just for y’all today, a post on Josh. Today was his school athletics carnival and although the weather was playing a bit with us today with fog covering the school and oval early in the morning, it ended as a really hot day. It was great to see them having a great time cheering and playing sports.

I took this photo of my grown boy with his newly earned hat.

I put together a slideshow of all the photos I took today mainly that of the pre-primary kids in their races as well as the year 1s.

Welcome to my new blog!

judith — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 04:58:01 +0000

It happened over lunch yesterday afternoon. My lack of mojo amidst the mountain of things to do from all over the place, need something to boost my passion back to my blog and my stories and photos. So, I jumped into reconstruction mode and re-designed my blog from colours to style. I call this the “elegant and simple blog” (very technical right?), and my “brown swirlies blog” is taking a much deserved holiday (If only I could too!).

What started to be an online journal of my life just evolved to my crafts, passions and desires and has been a mix of portfolio, stories, scrapbooks and personal photo album (and now will include some of what my hands been up to in sewing).

There will probably be a few more tweaks to do from here and there but here it is, a new design.

But of course, I always get the usual hurdle in the way and this time is my twitter batch on the top. I have signed in and out, removed and installed back the widgets and re-typed all the info but still my tweets are not showing. Ahhh… I will have to just go back to it later on, maybe after focusing on another thing, it will be clearer to what I am missing here.

Just a few things….

* If you like to subscribe to my blog through e-mail, the link is on the top menu.

* Join me on facebook by clicking the like box on my bio area at the top. I do really need more friends. the more the merrier.

* The Comments section is actually really cute when its filled with comments So let me know what you think of the new look. It is formatted very easily so anyone can leave comments with just a few clicks.

* a new list of portfolio will soon be on its way.

*this post will be on top for a few days so scroll down to check out new posts.

Finally, thank you for everyone who’s been following my blog and reading it. Have a great Thursday!
