Photo Diary - Angourie

Some of my favourite photos from our weekend away. So many more to sift through. I hope you enjoy looking through them as much as we have. The town we stayed in in called Angourie - North Coast of New South Wales. The house we rented our was the raddest cottage and it was super close to the beach. I really hope we can stay there again, especially now it holds such an amazing memory. WOOOO, fun times!

Happy, Happy Tuesday! XX

Splendour In The Grass Photo Diary

Okay so I just learned something...I have no self control when it comes to photo diary posts!! So apologies if the amount of photos left you scrolling for days.

As most of you'd know Liss from Daydream Lily and I were Guest Bloggers for Element Eden at Splendour this year. It was so amazing in every way possible. We had a ball!! So much to do, eat and see. It was truly an amazing time.

Now for the sad part of the story...I shot the entire time on 120 film...I sent it away to get developed and something went haywire. THE NEGS WERE BLANK. Can you imagine my devastation when I found this out today?! I have been waiting 2, nearly 3 weeks for my photos, and they tell me today there was nothing on the film. What's annoying is it was all wound on etc, so I'm not too sure what happened. They're giving me a refund, so I guess that counts for something? It's so upsetting cos the pics would have been so amazing. But I guess there is nothing I can do now.

These photos are from my iPhone. How lucky are we to have such amazing technology literally at our finger tips. If I didn't have a decent camera on my phone I would have been screwed. So, thank you Apple.

The Element Eden stall was so gorgeously decorated with flowers and a vintage theme. Pia (Element's superstar marketing girl) and the girls put in so much effort to get their stall looking so amazing. The little touches such as the free face painting and fuji instax postcard memories they were offering were such a hit!! So rad.

A big thank you to Pia and Element Eden for the great opportunity. You guys rock.

Check out Element Eden's Facebook for more pics and also Liss' blog (part one) and (part two) for some amazing photos she took on her film camera. Look at her lording her film photos over me. You win this time Liss. Haha.

I am so proud of my good pal Katriena Emmanuel (now her head is going to get so big after she reads this post). Her photography skills have grown so much in the past year! She is always pushing boundaries and coming up with such innovative ideas - which as a photographer you need to do otherwise you run the risk of falling flat with your work.

When I first saw these photos posted on her photography facebook page they caught my eye straight away and not just because the featured Izzy from last years Australia's Next Top Model. The styling, Izzy's hair, the colours, Izzy's poses - everything was just perfect! Soon after looking through the images I realised there was a link from Ben Trovato's website! What an amazing achievement for Kat to be featured on such a great website, one of which I check out nearly on a day to day basis!

I think Kat is going to go a long way - she's regularly featured on Vogue.It and in numerous publications some of which you can view on her facebook fan page. She is a true inspiration not only in her work but as a person. She dropped her Paralegal job to follow her dreams of creating beautiful imagery...and from what I can see, all that hard work is paying off!

I always enjoy seeing another medium used with photographs. I have seen photographs drawn on, painted on, burnt, sewn etc before but these are just stunning. I wish that I could touch my screen and feel the textures!!

I took some photos of one of my good friends today. These are just a taste of what I took. Amy made it far too hard to select images. I had so much fun being behind the lens instead of in front of it for a change - but when Ams made my job so easy I could have photographed her all day.

I think I could get used to doing this more often. I got Amy to arrive with no make -up on as I wanted to shoot her raw. I really love the no make up and simple styling look at the moment.

By no means am I a photographer - just merely having lots of fun! Hope you guys like them.
