i so love you Andrew and Jodie! you guys have done sooo well and am sure there will be many more amazing memories made at this little humble cafe xo

sweet sweet girl (s)

isn't she the sweetest?! little miss Tahlia just turned 1 last week! Happy birthday little miss.
mother and daughter combo is just so beautiful! honestly, i have been so blessed with all of my gorgeous models!

just cos i miss you, meech!

ca-cawwww....

"soar like an eagle...
don't flap your wing like a prairie chicken." - Someone wise once told me.

honestly. the place to be.

You might wonder why oh why I always come here?
it's a simple answer for me. yummy eatable , beautiful things to photograph, GREATTTT people.
If you haven't been. You've missed out.

funny that i came home from a business meeting this morning and Tave ran up to my car and jump into my arms and say "mommy, i wanna go to Andrew!" which means Vintage and she'll get a hot chocy and double marshmallow, maybe with a tinge of baby cupcake (if there's any)

I think i've trainned my child well.

ps. Vintage, your birthday photos are coming!!!! i've been so slack with posting blog. sigh.

1 sleep to go

as i'm blogging this... in less than 12 hours, i'll be making my way down to Vintage Espresso and celebrate it's 2nd birthday with free coffee!!!! yeepeeee (hopefully Andrew will be so kind and give me a hot chocolate instead)

so thanks Stu for the morning off. I'll make sure I bring you the Vintage muffin you requested!

here's my baby and hot baby's moment... this is "their" VINTAGE moment.

my little chef master!

6.40am and cooking porridge for mommy, daddy and herself (and some for oma and Carine too)
she says "I do it mommy, I do it!" (with the stirring action) hehe.

it's a winter breakfast for us!

mr future all black

the little man Kahika has been kicking around practicing his rugby kick in his mommy's tummy for the last 8 months. So fun that I got to (somewhat) meet you while you're still cooking. hehe.

Bless you Loz! you are sooo beautiful and glowing. Pregnancy couldn't agree more with you.
Love you and Dan-dan. You both are amazing!!!
Thanks for the fun times and blessing me (with your time and $5 you left in my car) during photoshoot! lol xoxo

You are such an awesome hubby and dad, Pete! and this is what you got Kim for her first mother's day gift! yay! Kimmy, your smile is infectious! I love it! Hope you love your mother's day present! xoxo

C + C + C

On one fine Saturday morning, i took my beloved mr. Ay-Jay and met up with miss C and mr. C. Fortunately, miss C and mr C had a new little man whom i had the priveledge to shoot that morning. I want y'all to meet little cutesy pie mr. Carter.

doesn't he have the biggest eyes ever?! he's the cutest too! what else do you expect when you've got good looking parents to give you good genes and the good looks too. weeee... we had so much fun! you guys are seriously the sweetest! congratulations Clinton and Cass, he's gorgeous!!!!

happy birthday dear meech.

an american dude came to the land down under not only to lead the people to the third realm, but he also got older when he was here too. BIG nineteen can you believe? (thinking about that age makes me think how old i am! gosh!)
Happy birthday Micah! you are so loved by many and gonna be soooo missed when you leave on the jetplane next week. i shed my tears already.

pizzas at Bread + Butter is the place to be! the awesome Martin the french man gave the sweetest drink, and the dangerous italians did their job well. i so love this place. not that it's anyone business, but i'm gonna be there again this coming Wednesday! yeeee-haaaaaa
