Bled : Slovenia

2010-09-08T14:27:00.004+10:00

What a beautiful country, so fresh. I loved the mountains and I loved the lakes.

The Old Town Dubrovnik : Croatia

2010-09-08T14:09:00.003+10:00

Recently I had a wonderful little holiday with friends in Croatia. My favourite place would have to be The Old Town in Dubrovnik. A gorgeous old town, I will let the photos speak for themselves.

Brighton : England

2010-04-17T06:10:00.003+10:00

Pimms in the sun on Brighton pier. A rare occasion in England - 19 degrees and sunny in April! Lovely.

Denmark

2010-03-23T06:58:00.004+11:00

On a recent trip to Denmark I fell in love with the scenery. I know after many months of an unusually cold winter, many Danes would disagree but I found the stark white landscape and snow absolutely enchanting.

Basketball Singapore Style

2010-03-22T07:43:00.005+11:00

On a recent visit to Singapore between shopping, eating and a little sightseeing on Sentosa, I managed to squeeze in a local college basketball match.

Customs House, Brisbane

Tammie and Marcus are such a gorgeous couple. It was a delight to shoot their wedding in sunny Brisbane. I haven't had so much fun at 'work' in ages. Wishing you all the best. xx

Growing Food @ Yarra Neighbourhood Orchard

2009-05-01T15:00:00.008+10:00

I think I'm what you would call a 'bulk blogger'. I don't post for months and then when I finally do, I do it in bulk!
My Growing Food project was on display at the Yarra Neighbourhood Orchard Food Swap at Smith Reserve, Alexander Parade, Fitzroy (next to the Fitzroy Pool).
If you are interested in going to the swap it is on the first Saturday of the month from 10.00-1.00pm
Contact: Peta - peta@cultivatingcommunity.org.au 0411 899 618 Or Glenda 0149 375 161

You can also see a selection of the photos in this months' edition of Dumbo Feather magazine, available at borders bookshop and excellent news agencies near you.

Growing Food

2009-05-01T14:44:00.004+10:00

This project is about increasing peoples’ awareness about Growing Food and inspiring others to give it a go. Being no green thumb myself it was really by accident that I learnt about some of the fantastic community activities happening in Melbourne to do with growing food, guerrilla gardening and local food swaps.
All the participants are involved in growing food whether it be simply growing a pot of herbs on their window ceil or participating in large scale market gardens such as at CERES. In the form of a questionnaire I asked them to share about their experiences with growing food. In the process of doing this project not only did I walk away with many bags of lemons and tomatoes I also leant a thing or two about the importance of community, sharing and of course some gardening tip!

Vanessa and Warren

2008-12-10T14:15:00.005+11:00

This delightful couple along with their cute little baby got married at Point Cook Homestead. It was a wild day for weather, pouring down rain one minute then streaming sunshine the next...... Congratulations guys and thanks for the wine!

Restore and Recover

2008-12-03T16:16:00.006+11:00

Riding my bike to the studio this morning I nearly got run over by a courier van, to say I was rather cross and had a few thing to say to them when I caught up with the van at the lights is a G rated version of what actually happened. Needless to say I was pretty shaken up when I arrived at the studio. Instead of doing the pile of work building up on my desk that I should have been doing I put together this blog of my travels to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore from earlier this year. The pile of work is still on my desk but I feel a lot better! Meg xox

Portrait winners

2008-12-01T15:06:00.003+11:00

A few months back I did a little photography promotion at the Sister's Market. This family were one of the lucky winners. At the end of the shoot I got to hold their gorgeous little baby, I did try to take her and her chubby little cheeks home with me but unfortunately her parents wanted her back...

Grand Star elegance

2008-11-25T17:27:00.004+11:00

Nick and Tracey's wedding at the Grand Star was beautiful. It had a cultural blend of entertainment, complete with dry ice and a kung fu demo! It was awesome.

Adventures with fertilizer

2008-11-06T17:14:00.004+11:00

Sometimes I get to go off on little adventures for work. This was for a fertilizer company 'HiFert' in Geelong. I got to photograph the guys doing their thing. I don't think I've ever seen so much fertilizer in my life!

Bali Bliss

2008-08-29T12:56:00.006+10:00

Wow I couldn't wait to share these photos with you. I had the absolute delight and privilege of being invited to Bali to shoot the wedding of an old girlfriend of mine from high school. The ceremony included a traditional Balinese blessing, very beautiful indeed.

Singapore family & fun

2008-08-14T18:50:00.005+10:00

Last month on my trip away I had great fun getting to photograph this lovely family in Singapore. It was really hot and humid but they were all great sports and got into it.

Christening

2008-07-28T17:23:00.006+10:00

These photos are from a christening I photographed last week. It was a delight and honour to be a part of this special ceremony with such a lovely Melbourne family.

Guarding Thailand

2008-07-22T14:22:00.004+10:00

Hi folks, for those of you who know me well will not be surprised who I ended up taking pictures of on a recent trip to Thailand....Love a man in uniform.

Emma & Tibor

2008-02-07T18:48:00.000+11:00

Saturday was a gorgeous sunny day, perfect for wedding celebrations. What else can I say, what a lovely couple.

Time Series

2008-02-01T14:13:00.000+11:00

It's fascinating to see the changes in the first year of a babies life. These Time Series portraits were taken over one year. At One month, Three months, Six months and One year.

Maintenance

2008-01-31T16:39:00.000+11:00

This is one of the first portrait series I ever did. It is portraits of the people who, at the time, helped 'maintain' me, my Mechanic, Hair dresser etc. The best thing about doing this project was getting to know and connect with these people I saw regularly in their professional guise yet hardly knew anything about them personally.

Twiglet

2008-01-29T16:20:00.000+11:00

Ok so I'm not usually the clucky type..... who am I kidding, how cute are these little ones! The photos are from the new baby clothing range from Twiglet that I had the pleasure of shooting last week.

Blue Ball Red Coat

2008-01-24T15:11:00.000+11:00

I've been doing a lot of compositions lately... well truth be told I've gone a little composition mad. Here is a little sample of two I prepared earlier.

Grandparents

2008-01-02T11:35:00.001+11:00

My grandparents would probably be horrified if they knew their portrait was on my blog but fortunately they are not online so what they don't know wont hurt them.... Maybe I'm biased but personally I think they are gorgeous and just had to share them with you.

Petak Sembilan

2007-12-31T10:34:00.000+11:00

Walking around the laneway markets in Jakarta, Indonesia I came across this Buddhist temple.

Chinese Lanterns

2007-12-31T09:17:00.000+11:00

These beautiful lanterns, photographed in Jakarta, Indonesia are life size. If you look closely at the Water Castle photograph it has people walking through the background, this will give you some idea of how big these lanterns were!

Hamilton Island wedding

2007-12-29T16:15:00.000+11:00

I'm so excited to have FINALLY created a blog. Yay! Lot's of people have been asking to see some of my wedding photography so my first post is from a wedding in March 2007 that was a bit of a favorite of mine.
