Black and White (and red too)

Life can throw some serious curve balls, and it's not always black and white. The world is full of grey. Luckily the world is full of red too. Bright, bold, beautiful red. Red the colour of love, strength and confidence.  So it was quite appropriate that the D family chose to wear black, white and red to their session.  This is a family who are dealing with a big curve ball right now and they are using all the elements of the colour red to handle it....

LOVE:
that which binds us together

    and keeps us full of happiness and joy...

STRENGHT:

the ability to rise above the circumstances and shine

and CONFIDENCE:

having full trust in each other, knowing that together you will be able to overcome anything,

knowing that there will always be someone to turn too, someone to swap clothes with, someone to fix your hair and someone to give you a hug when you most need one,

 

yep RED can sure help carry you through when life is full of black, white and grey and I think 2 of the best thing to help you through this journey we call life, is family and love.

The D family are a beautiful family who shine with love, along with laughter, joy, strenght and confidence.

It was an honour to spend time with them and I thank you for allowing me to share in your familes love....

Friends Forever

What do you get when you take 2 best friends, 2 pairs of gumboots, one umbrella, some rain clouds and a camera???  Well you get great photos, a busted umbrella and a sore belly from laughing.
Miss C and Miss R are as close as sister's and alway on the look out for each other.  They have laughed together, cried together, moved house together and preformed Christmas songs together (we have the footage to prove it)

Here is the fabulous miss C

 working that blue door...

and just being an all round glamor girl

of course her BFF can work it just as well...

Miss R sure knows how to hold an umbrella...

when with best friends, 2 is always better then 1....

Things got a lot more fun when we found the puddles...

Thanks girls for a fun filled adventure. thanks for helping each other and being ready to carry each other, for jumping puddles for each other and just standing up for each other.

Old Sydney Town

When you think of old towns, Sydney really shouldn't enter your thoughts. After all she is only a wee 200 odd years young.  Athens, Jerusalem, Delhi, Syria - now these are old cities!  Still i love walking around our "young"
city and finding the history that she has to offer....

The Nurse's walk at the Rocks

The imposing bank entrance at Martin Plaza

the juxtaposition of sandstone and metal

the homeless sitting at the steps of Gods home

 and the thought of Captain Cook landing here only a few years ago with an exhausted crew and a bunch of  
 convicts.....

how blessed we are to have this young, vibrant city. foraged from criminals sweat and tears. With enough history and soul to keep me happy....

Bunnies Ahead

So back in early May I was fortunate to be able to take some photo's of the Rabbitoh's team. Russell Crowe couldn't make it, nor could Issac Luke, Nathan Merritt, Roy Asotasi or....hmmm well actually none of the 1st grade players could make it BUT i did get to shot some players of the future along with some very beautiful future support team members!

So I give you the Rabbitohs Full back (season 2025). Note his concentration and cute little button nose...

Next may i present the Bunnies Hooker (season 2020). Just look at the steely determination in his face...

Finally i present to you the prop for the Mighty Rabbits (season 2020). You can feel the power of his hits...

And a drum roll please for the "Women in League" coordinator (season 2022)

Now you can see why Mr Crowe is so very quietly confident - he know's what the future holds....

These photo's were a gift for a very special grandmother - a woman who is always cheering for her team.
She is with them through the amazing team victories, handing out the high fives and group hugs. She is with them through the incredible low's - when her team hasn't had a win all season and the tunnel they jog through is very dark and lonely. She is the team manager, physio, coach and number 1 fan rolled into one!
This is her team...

It was a joy to spent time with these little bunnies and I thank you Mrs K, Mrs D and Mrs N for allowing me to hang out with your fantastic team. Grandmothers are very important to the lives of their grandchildren and I hope that these images will remind you just how much your team loves and adores you Mrs A ...

My Gran

My dear Granny passed away the end of July and so we traveled up to the north Coast of NSW to say our farewells. i have so many wonderful memories of my Gran and for that i will be eternally grateful. She was quick to hug us but very slow to let us go.  happy to sew us new clothes and hand make us dolls (or rabbits, turtles and  the most famous Bears).  Always ready to have us at her home - even at times when it was already overflowing with the rest of the grandkids. gran would happily take us to the beach every day (even though she didn't really like the sand). She was a wizz at words - scrabble, crosswords, boggle and she taught us well.
I could go on and on really - but for now I think it is enough to say "Thanks Gran and I'll see you soon. Much love forever, Tracy Lacey xxx"
