Beautiful Nail

Sometimes a confidence boost can come in a small little bottle of nail polish, the more chemical free the better.
Because we spend most of our day seeing our hands, and not our reflection in a mirror (put down the compact ladies) keeping well maintained pointers gives me that little bit of extra assurance. I can't afford to have them professionally manicured, in Australia at least, and I cant really justify going to Thailand for a $3.30 session every month, so I keep a good range of colours to do myself. I recently discovered Butter - an English brand that is free of the toxic carcinogens in other polish. Its a little pricey, but hot tip is Madison giving away the Yummy Mummy colour - as pictured below.
Also - if your polish is starting to dry up - add a couple of drops of polish remover. I saw the Thai ladies doing it. The more you dilute, the more coats you'll have to apply, but you'll get more for your buck
Lastly, if you haven't seen the YouTube clip by Anjelah Johnson, please click link below - its hilarious!

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils  throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
