Up Up and Away

The new season’s crop of Up River Garlic is now sown and in a very short space of time it is up up and away!

I joined the crew to help with the sowing then returned a couple of weeks later to document the progress in photographs  -  wow, it looks great and is powering on.

Up River Garlic is a family owned business run from the Summerhayes’ picturesque property on the Deua River, up the Araluen Valley, southern NSW.

Lovely thick braids of fresh garlic will be available in time for Christmas from the Moruya markets!

A few weeks ago I photographed Belinda Hunt, the designer behind the label 

Lushington.  
I documented the goings on in her studio, the fabrics, the trims, the quirky embroidery designs etc.

Today came the really fun part when we teamed up with model, wigs, props, the whole circus nearly.

7 outfits, 6 hours, 4 locations, 3 wigs - with the end result being some rather . . .

fabulous photographs.

Bravo Belinda and Samantha - Beautiful!

Recently I had the fun of being the photographer to document a fabulous 1930's Hollywood themed Murder Mystery Party.

In keeping with the theme, I jumped at the chance to play dress ups.

I spent the early part of the evening rubbing shoulders with famous actors, writers, directors and wannabe actresses and then bowed out of the party before I could be implicated.

They were all a highly suspicious bunch - each with a strong motive for being the one who done it!  

So just who WAS the murderer?  Did the writer do it?

Bravo to Stu for being the brains behind organising such a fabulous fun evening of murder, mayhem, fun and intrigue!

Mr 1 month.  Such a good bubba!  This young man took his first formal photoshoot all in his stride.  No fuss,  just much cuteness!

Today the studio was filled with sisterly love and  giggles.  Lots of fun and outfit changes, frills and flounces, pearls and jewels!  Just gorgeous, thanks lovely ladies for brightening my day with your sunny personalities!

Hi, I just realised that I have been neglecting my blog - oooops, so many fun projects on the go!  

Carly joined me in the studio yesterday for a fun session of portraits.  We shot several different "looks"  . . . contemporary portraits, business profile pics for her graphic design business, "Carly Design" plus some edgier ones for her to use for her music promotion as well. 

We also shot some "moving pictures" in the form of some business promo videos for Carly to incorporate into her new website which will be up and running soon.

We had a busy time, lots of laughs and created together a broad range of great images!

You're a good sport Carly, thanks for your good company, Helen

I had the pleasure of fellow photographer Jessica King in the studio this week.

We chatted and laughed a lot and eventually got around to the reason we were there together - to shoot some promo portraits for her.

Fresh and fun was the brief, so here she is - looking just that!  Thanks for your company Jess!

Mid week I had a date in the studio with Polly to shoot some business portraits for her new website and business.

Once the job was complete we then got on with the fun of creating some images to promote Startup Tas, the great new organisation set up to assist new (and not so new) businesses develop and grow.

Thanks Polly for sharing your enthusiasm!
