One hot day under the sprinkler with Scrumpy and P-body

When I think back of my childhood..I have fond memories of running around under the sprinkler. I remember that feeling of coldness between the toes and the excitement of splashing my sister. As the temperature reached a scorching 35 degree in Sydney I couldn;t think of a better way playing with the kids. Preston who is known as P-Body has a love for water so it was no surprise he was the first to get wet and watching from a safe distance he loved nothing more than having the cold water between his little toe’s and sliding down the slide…and was very quick to push his sister away. Scrumpy also known as a Scarlett put up with P-body taking control of the sprinkler decided she was going to use the water to build sand castles… We had a fantastic time…It was a fun afternoon for both kids I am very much looking forward playing again.

These Photo’s are not perfect in anyway..however they are perfect for me and my wife to enjoy..get a camera out and have fun with the kids.

Today’s Inspiration is Leading Lines and Architecture

July is when most photographers allocate time to shoot personal projects or test new locations..only recently I’ve had an interest in shooting Architecture…and to be brutally honest most Wedding Couples of mine want the pretty Harbour shots…which is fine.. however I’m hoping to shoot something different for the coming Wedding season.

I was lucky enough to shoot with the beautiful Amy, yes we got kicked out two area’s however found a few things that caught my eye.. I hope you like them.

Karpes Family Lifestyle Shoot inspired by Frankie Magazine

My family portrait lifestyle shoot is all about just having fun with your kids in your home environment, getting to know the different personalities and just basically running a muck. My inspiration comes from one of my favorite mags ” Frankie ” I love there quirky stories and inspirational Photo shoots.

Chloe and Emma absolutely adore there baby brother Ethan…talk about 3 cute kids..Ethan in particular is so cute with his curly locks…and his constant ” My turn ” attitude…he is just adorable.. Chloe the eldest is close to 10 years old with stunning blue eye’s, more like a mother figure playing and watching over Ethan. Emma is super polite, looks like her Mum with stunning features and always waits her turn..she is very warming to you. Mum and Dad we’ll they both have the good looking Gene..so you guys look hot too.

I hope you like your shots.

Mel and Joe’s fancy Italian/Maltese Wedding

Mel and Joe’s fancy Italian/Maltese Wedding

Mel and Joe so different in personalities yet suited for each other in so many ways. On our final meeting, Joe wanted non posey Photo’s where as Mel wanted some lovely posey shots, so we did our best to accommodate both parties 🙂

Ceremony was at St Mary’s North Sydney followed by a reception at Sergeants Mess at Mosman.. It’s was fair to say everyone had a fantastic time.
