sunday = pancakes

i’ve ordered some new baby props from this talented girlone of these & an earflap hat. can’t wait to use them at my next baby shoot!

jodi at MCP actions recently blogged about some of her favourite photography & photoshop books – well worth checking out!

speaking of books, i finished reading Goodbye Jimmy Choo today – i enjoyed most of the story, but thought it was a shame it ended so abruptly. this book by marian keyes is next on my reading list. it received some great reviews at amazon & sounds like a good read!

although gardening has never been my forte, this post about farmers markets & a garden article in country living have inspired me to think about our “garden” & dream about what it could look like. i could sure use the help & vision of the backyard blitz team! we’ve got lots of coolibahs around the house & the soil isn’t great, so raised garden beds might be the answer. i googled raised garden beds & wasn’t surprised to find a great step-by-step post about making them on the pioneers woman’s blog. Ree writes a very entertaining blog about her life in the country – be sure to check it out!

Monique Wye: yummo on the pancakes side of things. Going to follow all your links there and have a read of everything. I love PW's site - but haven't seen her raised beds post - and I think that is how I will have to go one day too soon..... .:) Would love to invite you to my blog again - but I have misplaced your email addy...... :(

charleigh: hi monique! be sure to check out ree's pancake recipe too - it looks delish!

abeachcottage: hello! thanks for popping by, yep I love Pioneer Woman too love your photography - I am hoping to upgrade my camera very soon to improve the dreadful quality of my shots have been looking at a G10 Canon, still point and shoot but looks good... good luck with the garden have to say I find it challenging with Australia's climate, I guess that is just a learning curve to overcome...those raised beds are the biggest thing to hit gardening I think - my mum's hubby is a huge gardener in the UK and he has just built them in his garden and they have been a rip-roaring success...if you are interested I think gardenersworld.co.uk has info on them too oh and I am so gagging to go outback, just seems life three kids and all that gets in the way all the time Sarah

silhouettes

February 11, 2009

silhouette noun
1. the outline of a dark shape seen against a light background
2. an outline drawing, often a profile portrait, filled in with black

Back in the 18th century, before photography was invented, silhouettes were the cheapest, quickest and most accurate way to capture someones likeness. This technique is making a comeback – with a modern twist! I’m delighted to offer silhouettes to my clients – let me know if you’d like to try one at your next session.
