This is the next step to what my shoot looked like

This is the next step to what my shoot looked like at the Manuka Pool in Canberra. My dad got up super early to bring his horse from Royalla to Manuka for my silly idea, that I hoped to god would work and everything would come together. The horse came off the truck with legs covered in pooh even though he was squeaky clean when he boarded the truck😣 which caused the shoot to run late!!

People gave up their morning, all to help see my vision come to life! I would not be able to achieve my ideas without people who believe in me.

The final result was achieved in only 20 minutes before the public started arriving at the pool and standing in my shot, and my time was up before I wanted it to be. I felt so deflated when I arrived home from the shoot, feeing as though I hadn’t captured the image I had in my mind.

I’m happy to say I was wrong about that! The shot turned out great, although I didn’t know it. My good friend @gemmabk_art helped convince me it was a magic image worthy of my deep consideration not to discard it . Low and behold the final image has continued to be popular and well over and over again.

Here is my pre-shoot scouting, explaining how I imagine my successful image titled “Jesse and Frankie” in front of Manuka Pool in Canberra.

It all went to plan, except for the timing and the horse poo!!

Every year I’m scared, scared of winter!!! ❄️⛈💨Living in Canberra there is no escaping it, but at least we don’t get snow, I’m grateful for that! When I meet a new Canberran I give them my winter survival list:
❄️Electric blanket
❄️Good home heating
❄️Kathmandu puffy jacket
❄️Car port or garage so you don’t need to scratch off the frost on your windscreen every morning!

What would you add to this survival list for winter time???

Feeling the horsey vibes this autum, where the horse’s coat starts to thicken in preparation for winter coming. It’s amazing how nature takes care of itself. 🐴

Last week my little family took a long drive and to a small town region of Carcoar in country NSW. The best thing about this region is the gorgeous store I been dying to visit called @tomolly_carcoar. If you know me you know I love home styling and country earthy vibes. This store has all that and more, plus the owner, Belinda is a talented curator and all round creative woman, we chatted for ages and had a great time shopping and admiring all the things, I felt so inspired once I left.

Follow her store on Instagram and you’ll see how gorgeous everything is

Our 6th wedding anniversary looks a little differe

Our 6th wedding anniversary looks a little different this year with our newborn baby Sophie who arrived 6 weeks ago 👶🏼💛

I was engaged on top of an elephant in Thailand when I said ‘yes’ to my hubby Pete, 🐘and we were married at the top of Mount Stromlo inside the old Observatory in front of our closest family and friends.

At the reception my father and I danced the Tarantella a traditional Italian song and very fast dance, I thought my dad was going to run out of steam he was dancing so hard, plus it’s a very long song but he kept up with me the whole time! Fun memories!

This beautiful portrait was taken for my 40th last year by my friends at 📷The Beautiful Collective

A simple way to create imagery for your business is to photograph the books associated with your business. Do it in a Flatlay style with your mobile phone and some natural light and there you have it.

This is my favourite photography book I’ve ever read. Annie Leibovitz is one of my photography idols. I remember reading this book maybe ten years ago and it was so inspiring and motivating to me. Do you have a book in your industry that truly inspired you? What is it called?

Someone asked me the other day, how do I stay so motivated? It was a hard question to answer really, but I ended up telling her the reason I stay motivated is because I feel like i have heaps of unfilled potential so I guess i'm just working toward fulfilling that potential one day at a time. ⁠
⁠
Don't get me wrong, I’m not always motivated no way at all, I don’t think anyone is. Oh maybe unless you are Hugh Jackman I don’t think he ever looses motivation or feels lazy. 🤨⁠
⁠
Then she mentioned she had a fear of failure, how do I deal with that? I said I fail everyday particularly in public with typos in my captions all the time 😆. It doesn’t stop me showing up again and again. No one is perfect and I don’t expect myself to be perfect. I surround myself with good people who will forgive my failures and I forgive myself for my failures if you even want to call it that. I don’t even really use that term failure.
⁠ ⁠
It’s such a harsh term, the word ‘failure’. Would you agree? ⁠

Details of Gibson’s beautiful coat he wears with pride. I just find his spots so fascinating and the entire Appaloosa colouring so unique, that’s why I started the Spotted series in 2018 to collect all these wonderfully special spotted horses and let us appreciate that being different is actually magical.
