Getting creative as opposed to getting dirty

So where was I? that's right, having a slight anxiety attack about the water or lack thereof at the prickle farm, and thinking not so loving and positive thoughts about my dearly beloved. Never fear dear reader, all ended well. The new fangled high tech (and high fail?!) automated system kicked in and I awoke (very early) to find the water levels in a far more upwards position since last the last time I posted. Phew. Husband most relieved too, for varying reasons ;-)

Anyhow, playing catch up. Well over a month ago I had a little play at being a quasi photographer, after a local girl took a leap of faith and purchased me and my camera at a charity auction (I donated myself!). We finally coordinated our fairly hectic schedules and took some snaps.

It makes it pretty easy when they are all so photogenic, doesn't it?!

Her mum, bless her cotton socks, was THE hardest work ever, so very tense and self conscious (oh my wrinkles and laugh lines!!) As the happy couple are getting married very soon, we've decided that mum might need to have a few hits of vodka before the wedding photos to relax her just a wee bit ;-) As we said , they show a life well lived and loved!

And while I was at it, and needing to post these photos on good ole facebook and not wanting for her photos to be used willy nilly (other than by herself) I made a little logo for myself, which after 2 minutes of image googling and a minute of fiddling, I came up with this. I am pretty pleased with it, even though its a bit rough and did ahem "borrow" a graphic from the www :-)

  1. The last one in B&W is my favourite. She is one stunning girl so Frankie boy is one lucky farmer. Don't worry my mother is the same with photos and she just freezes up. Great job on the photography. Regards Kathy

  2. Well done Sharon you have captured shots with warmth and, not knowing the people, with personality as well! Never hurts to have a 'nip' of something before a big event ... ;)

    1. feedback suggests the colour is distracting on the photo and that perhaps I should change to opaque white...I do love the greens and blues though! perhaps for other "branding" (who am I kidding?!)
