Neuw: Marilyn Jean

The humble jean and I have never really been friends. Its not that I don't love denim, I just get weird about the look of the crotch area, all that blue fading and fabric... Plus I see myself as more of a sunday dress girl.

But than Neuw came along with the Marilyn cut Jean and it kinda holds it all in... like those giant granny undies I like to wear (thank God Bonds made them "cool").

Had to drive all the way to Peninsula to feed my sisters cat - and it wasn't until the end of the 2 hour drive that I had to undo the top button... but I had just finished an entire Domino's vege pizza.

Her house kinda matched my outfit, so I balanced the camera on the balcony rail and posed for myself

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
