Junk Email

24 Jan 2008

I'm sending a quick email from work to my blog. I've had a large number of enquiries this past week which is a really good thing. In recent times all wedding enquiry forms that are redirected to my hotmail account are going straight into my junk folder. Now that I'm aware of this I make sure I check the junk mail folder on a daily basis.

I will always answer your enquiry within 24 hours unless something major has happened. If you've used the contact form on my website and have failed to receive a reply from me in 24 hours, can you please check your junk mail or spam folder? My reply could be lurking there.

Katrina and Efren

13 Jan 2008

I second shot with my friend and photographer Bruce Hudson last Saturday. This is the first time I've ever second shot so I warned Bruce that I would probably try and take over as I was used to being "boss". I'm afraid I did exactly that.

Katrina was cool, calm and collected and one of the most beautiful brides I've ever seen, whilst Efren was a bundle of nerves.

They were married in lovely gardens at Caringbah.

Whilst Bruce and the bridal party cruised on the George River I headed back to the Motor Boat Club to take some detail shots.

To Katrina and Efren, thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day!

road tripping part 2

28 Dec 2007

I'm back home in Sydney after the Christmas break. It's a 12 hour drive from Brisbane to Sydney along the New England Highway which I did in one journey. About halfway home I spied this old station managers cottage just outside Uralla. I took photos for about 20 minutes until the bush flies forced me back into the car.

Who knows what other gems are lurking in the small towns that dot the highway? One year I must take a few days to do the journey so I can make a photo essay of the region.

Not having any of my artwork on the walls I'm thinking of making a large canvas art print of one of the images but which one?

Daylight saving or the lack of it confuses the hell out of me so I've been waking really early. Here's todays' sunrise.

And another view,

Bye for now,

Road Tripping

21 Dec 2007

Greetings from Noosa! I drove up to Brisbane from Sydney on Wednesday to spend Christmas with my family - a long and tiring 12 hour journey.

I managed to get sick the day before the drive up so I coughed, sneezed and spluttered the whole journey. Charming. I saw lots of great scenery along the way but it wasn't safe to stop and take any photos.

Today I drove about 2 hours north to Noosa where I met up with one of my old school friends and her husband. We had a lovely lunch at Seasons, a stroll down Hastings Street for some raspberry and lemon gelato and a stroll along the beach. I even found a wedding being set-up at one end of the beach.

I couldn't help myself and out came the camera to take some detail shots. I've attached a collage of my day trip to Noosa. I have a whole week of festivities planned up here then it will be back to Sydney for a month of hard gym work-outs.

If I don't get a chance to blog before Christmas Day, I hope you all have a great holiday season,

Jillian

Bella and Ewan

17 Dec 2007

I've been taking photos of Bella and Ewan since they were both newborns. Ewan is now 6 and Bella is almost 2. Ewan likes to pose for photos which involves him standing upright with his arms folded across his chest whilst simultaneously grinning. I have chosen not to post any of those images. Bella is still too young to pose, thankfully. She made a glorious mess of herself feasting on cherries and strawberries before we headed over to the park for some playtime.
