2 discoveries from my optometrist trip this morning. 1. I need new glasses 2. The crotch of my bike gear isn't as waterproof as I'd like.

Baby Portraits – Boys & Their Toys
Every once in a while, I get the opportunity to add a twist to the conventional. Most baby photos, including those that I shoot myself, naturally tend to focus on the baby. Cutesy images with a sleeping baby swaddled up and looking peaceful.
Recently I had the opportunity to shoot some alternative baby photos, images that reflect the interests of the parents as well as their new bundle of joy.
Mitchell's parents are huge V8 racing fans. Mum is a Ford fan and Dad goes for the Holden team, which must make for some lively debate when the race is on! Mitchell is stuck in-between for now. Wearing Ford colours, he lies on top of Dad's prized Mark Skaife Holden Racing wheel.
Lachlan is yet to hear Dad's guitar skills, but if the size of the amp is anything to go by, wherever he is when dad picks up his Gibson guitar, Lachlan is sure to hear it!

Marcela & John | Observatory Hill & Waterfront Restaurant, Sydney, NSW
It would be safe to say that I love it when there are young children at weddings. Inevitably I find myself sprawled on the ground capturing shots of the children having even more fun than the grown-ups.
At this recent wedding at Observatory Hill Sydney, Xavier shared the limelight with mum & dad, Marcela & John, but only after a sustained period of worm catching with a friend!
Marcela & John's guests had travelled from all over the globe to attend their big day and I couldn't have thought of a better way to showcase Sydney for the overseas visitors than a wedding on Observatory Hill with the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop.
Guests enjoyed a post-wedding ceremony drink at Cruise Bar, at the Overseas Passenger Terminal whilst we took advantage of the varied backdrops for some stunning wedding portraits in The Rocks.
Marcela & John's wedding reception was held at Waterfront Restaurant within the heritage-listed, 1839-built, Campbell's Stores, which overlook the Sydney Opera House and provide stunning views of Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
