Peekaboo!  A little story about perseverance… there was a time - a long time - in my life where music was a big part of me. I wrote and performed my own songs and it was my creative outlet as well as my heart’s. I loved it - I loved singing live more than a lot of things.  A successful businessman told me that perseverance was the key. I just had to keep going. 24/7. Several years later and I rarely pick up my guitar. The only singing I do is in the car and sometimes I feel kinda sad about it. But I realised that you have to have so much more than just talent. You have to really, really want it. You have to put it before hanging out with your loved ones and a lot of other things. And I have slowly come to the realisation that a musical way of life - the 24/7 late night thing, well, it’s not for me. Not in that way anyway.  I’m sure I’ll go through another phase of writing and singing, but I’ve found a new love - and I’m so preservering with this! I can feel it in my bones.  Living life through the lens… And loving the journey.  F&G. xxx High-res

Great day yesterday with two photo sessions - this one was with Ali and her Spoodle, Pip - possibly the happiest dog in Australia!  The only rubbish thing was that I dropped my camera - it fell out of my bag when I got out the car, and my favourite lens broke… well, the protective filter smashed and the lens is sort of dented. Fingers and toes crossed I can either get it fixed or my insurance will pay for a new one.  High-res

It’s always sad to hear that a loved pet is sick or has passed away. A lovely client contacted me today to let me know that their beautiful dog, Rocky has to be laid to rest. She is so glad to have gotten photos of him and will remember him the way he was that day - happy and playful.

I love capturing these amazing friends of ours in their true spirit - they are such a huge part of who we are and what we do - where would we be without them?
