flower girl.

let me introduce you to two of the cutest flower girls around.
hehehe... these two had so much fun throwing petals everywhere followed by the night boogie dance while the speeches where on. us parents were hushing and ssshhh-ing them to do their fun thing quietly. too cute...

congrats Jackie and Travis!!!! thank you for letting us be apart of your amazingly beautiful & special day! lovesssssssssssss!!!! (insert lots n lots of love hearts here)

ps. just in case you remember. MO-vember is officially over today!!!! yay for no more moustache!!!!!!!! yay yay yay (yes, i am doing my happy dance... all secretly in my room while Jeremy's shaving his moustache off!)

i'm three now.

if you know my Tavé, every time she talks to someone or even someone she just met (and somehow chose to be comfortable around that person)... these past 4 days she's been saying "i'm a big girl. I'm three now." and then sometimes later on during the conversation, she'll add "there's a baby inside my mommy's tummy"
sigh... she's so adorable. I am one super blessed woman.

this was actually taken during a family photoshoot i did today. she asked if she could go into the tent before we totally pulled it down, along with her Asa bear (a bear that was given to us during Asa's dedication so she called it Asa bear). so so cute. she was such a good assistant! and yes, i did pay her $1 tonight when she got home for her good work. she was thrilled and surprised that i paid her! awwwwww... little darling!

sisterly love.

I get the giddy feeling when I was editing this session. I love love love sisterly love, cuddles and kisses!
Since we have no idea what we're having and miss Tavé is so sold that she is having a little sister (as she ALWAYS reminds me that she loves her little sister inside mommy's tummy whenever she cuddles me)

Jeremy and I honestly wouldn't mind having 2 girls... awwww... imagine the pretend play they will have together, not to mention... endless tea party. Jeremy just wanted a boy who he can teach rugby or cricket i think... and be rough with... yeah...

love love! sisterly love indeed. I might have another competition on guessing what the sex of the baby is AND need help with names! aaargghhh... it would be the hardest task in the world i think.... choosing the perfect name for your baby/ies!

Happy 3rd Birthday princess Tavé

ok. maybe we went a little overboard. but it's just my wacky idea and passing the baton of encouragement and do it nice and big by Jeremy just totally made Tavé's morning a lovely one!

she woke up to her room filled with hanging balloon from the ceiling and floor filled with balloons! who did them? of course mommy and daddy... (around about 11.30pm still blowing CO2 into the balloons ... huffing and puffing and playing with strings and selotape) haha! so so cool!

thought i'd share with you her excitement from this morning... and one of her cute little present from us! xoxo

Happy birthday, darlin! you're the best gift that God's ever given mommy and daddy! and yay happy celebration for us for 3 years hahaha.

Spots are limited as I will be in New Zealand for 1/3 of the month so it's all a go go go! wooooohoooo.
On the side note, let me make you happy with these beautiful pics of a fellow photographer Felicity Marler from Central Coast. Isn't her family so lovely?

two little indians.

1 little... 2 little... forget the 3, 4 and 5... haha.
that little Indians song was one of the first English song i learnt (mmm... back when i was 10?) lol
again... another magical session from Jinky workshop in Canberra... I'm slowly crawling myself back into editing more from the workshop! I'm still catching up! aaaaa....
at the same time, I'm also organising Tavé's 3rd birthday. what party did she request? ballerina!!!! and seems like she's been organising it for months! oh my gosh. it's gotta be the party of the century i think!

For you kiwis out there, I am excitingly heading towards your way for Christmas and New Year! so I'm opening session times in Queenstown, Cromwell, Wanaka and Christchurch. If you're interested, please email me and yay for some New Zealand fun!

Change The World day

is on 19th November 2010. be apart of it. do something.
am supporting the local cafe by simply purchasing a hot chocolate (or a coffee if you're prefer cos i don't drink coffee) and all the their hot beverage sales goes to an orphanage in Bali.
bless their beautiful hearts and souls....

if you're in the Gold Coast, go down to Alfred st, Mermaid Beach and there's this super cute funky cafe Vintage Espresso on the day and maybe purchase 2 or 3 or 4 coffees.... and don't blame me if you're started to act like a chihuahua for too much caffeine hehehehe.... it's all for the cause! xo

what's in the wood?

i hear that one pretty little butterfly was fluttering around and playing with the hopping little bunny.
she asked: "bunny, when do you get to play with me?"
bunny says: "i am playing with you right now! we just have all these people taking whole bunch of photos of us playing. just keep quiet and enjoy the sun in the 9 degrees weather!"

thus the end of the story.

and the rest of it.... all you hear is click click click click click click click of the camera... yes yes... a wonderful sound!

Byron Bay trip.

Here are some of family snap shots once again before i archive everything into my beloved external hard drive... such a heart of a champion.
When the in laws are over here, the family (excluding the pregnant me and Tavé) went kayaking with the dolphins (jealous much? yes... yes i was) so i took miss D for a drive with us and ended up to be a pretty good Monday day for photos!!! yesssshhhh.... *mentally trying to compensate what i lost* haha.

ps. meanwhile, please pray for my family back in Indonesia... mom and dad are located where the mountain was erupted and last night was even worse! airport is closed and the city looked like a ghost town.

hanging out with grandad

We love it when families are around, especially when the grandies are in town! Full house, lots of laughs and running around (not done by me or Jeremy)... yay!

Special times! xoxo

ToyHaus

Some cute snap shots of a commercial shoot for a little toy store in Canberra :: ToyHaus.

I wonder who's little groovy chicky this is. hehe.

playing with light.

Definitely one of my most favourite thing to do: Playing with Light. not fire-light that we keep telling our kiddies to stay away from. but capturing light with my camera. ooooohhhhh yummy yummy yummy!
i love love love love love it.
i can't deny it!

ok i should bust out into a song right about now. Specially when i've got a cutie to show you right..... Now.
