August 8 - There Was A Small Child Here Stacking Plates...
She pottered away when she saw me approach with the camera... :p It was really cute, Catherine was taking all the plastic plates out and stacking them on the floor and then picked them up and put them back in the cupboard... So you'll just have to imagine and instead you get to see the inside view of my kitchen cupboard... :p I actually did take a decent photo today, but it was of something that I'm not quite ready to share with the world yet... maybe soon... :)
August 9 - Silly Faces
Catherine thinks it's hilarious to squish her face into plates at the moment...
August 10 - Kissable Pout
This photo makes me *melt*... I just adore her little pout and she looks so sweet in that little outfit... oh and that dreamy bokeh... loving my 50mm 1.4... :)
August 11 - Ta
Chu Phong is in town visiting us at the moment... Catherine was initially a bit uncertain about him... but he won her over by giving her some food... Here she is saying "Ta" while taking some breakfast cereal from him...
August 12 - Model's Own Pose
Took the girls out to the park this afternoon while our interstate visitors snoozed and had an afternoon nap... I love this dress on Elizabeth... pink and turquoise are my favourite colour combinations at the moment... This pose was completely her idea... She is so random... LOL...
August 13 - Sweet Talking Daddy
A day out shopping at Harbourtown... Phong did really well and bought the most out of all of us! Phan even bought more than me (at his favourite store, Ralph Lauren)... I scored a pair of shoes... completely different to the kind of shoes I was actually looking for (I need a casual walking shoe and couldn't find anything I liked). Towards the end of our shopping expedition, Elizabeth didn't want to walk anymore and managed to sweet talk Phan into carrying her around... she looks rather pleased with herself that she got her way doesn't she?
August 14 - Sunday Morning, Pajamas and a Blue Balloon
This is how our little miss looks in the morning... dishevelled bed hair... still in her one piece jumpsuit pajamas... and there's nothing like some balloon fun to start a Sunday morning...
Photo A Day - August - Week 2
I Heart Faces: Beautiful Eyes
This week's theme at I Heart Faces is Beautiful Eyes, and I knew the moment I saw the theme, that I was going to enter this photo, that I took last week when we went out for a mini photoshoot with Chu Phong. She was none too impressed with the fashionable kerchief I made her wear... but those eyes *sigh* ... they just melt me... so much wonder at the world... so much youthful innocence...
Friday's Are For Inspiration
1. This little quote is doing the rounds on quite a few photographer facebook pages at the moment...
2. I'm absolutely in love with this video - it was made a present for a couple who had a 5 year long year relationship between Los Angeles and Taipei... Really worth watching... it's very creative!
3. Totally random, but I really love this... I'm sure it'd be easy to make... I'll put it on my todolist that seems to get continually longer every day!

I Heart Faces: Friendship
This week's theme at I Heart Faces is Friendship, so I thought I'd enter this photo... It's Elizabeth and her Uncle Phi Phi... (and she openly admits he is her favourite!)... There's a very special friendship between this uncle and his niece.
Photo A Day - August - Week 1
Ahh, it's the start of another month... so here's the first week of August
August 1 - I Want To Break This...
Generally, I think I have a reasonably high tolerance for annoying, loud, repetitive noises. It just comes with the territory when you have small children. However, this toy recorder might just be the thing that tips me over the edge... Elizabeth got this from her pinata at her birthday last year, but for some reasons it's made a huge revival this week and I swear, if I hear that annoying high pitched noise again, I will probably find a way to accidentally hide it in the bin forever...
August 2 - Eclectic Fairy Ballerina
She got home from kindy and promptly changed into this miscellany of clothing and dressups... And proceeded to dance and sing... I love 4 year old randomness...
August 3 - My Grownup Newborn
After kindy we caught up with some friends at the park... and when we got home, I was pulling together the finishing touches for dinner and turned around and found her like this on the couch. Way too much excitement for one day...
August 4 - Afternoon At The Playground
Went to a different park this afternoon for something different to do... Catherine quite liked sitting on this bouncy giraffe thing...
August 5 - Oops, Dropped Something
Bath time and Catherine likes throwing things out of the bath... This photo taken without flash at about 6:30pm with just dodgy bathroom lighting. Taken using my new 50mm - ISO 6400, f/1.4, 1/250...
August 6 - Joyous Afternoon
Phan wanted me to take his car out for a spin this afternoon to feel how different it is after all the mods he's been doing to it recently... So we took a little drive over to a little park reserve I'd spied a few weeks ago and spent an enjoyable afternoon having some fun...
August 7 - Playing Trains
Crows vs Lions game playing in the background... and this is what Elizabeth, Catherine and Daddy were up to in our loungeroom this afternoon...
Scrapbooking Sunday
Coming Home is out now from Fei Fei's Stuff at Oscraps! And the colours are just delicious! I can't wait for our Australian summer to get here so I can scrap with these gorgeous bright fun colours! But for now, here's a simple neutral toned page...
Thanks for having a look!
Friday's Are For Inspiration
1. One of my Facebook photographer friends (Hi Kris!) set up something similar to this recently... I think it's an awesome way to get those photos off the computer and printed and shown off around the house... I am so doing this when we move back to Adelaide...

2. Barb Uil of JinkyArt Photography is a Canberra photographer famous internationally for her beautiful, inspiring and often whimsical portrait images... I love the opening little video clip on her website - ... I've watched it so many times and it makes me smile every time.
3. I adore this photo... a perfect simple childhood moment... illuminated with the most perfect light.
