What's on this week on the Sunshine Coast

Floating Land! And that's where you'll find me for the next 10 days. Capturing all the action, art and events at the different venues. 

It all kicked off today (Fri 27 May 2011)

Various artists were installing their pieces today at the Coolum Boardwalk with more to come in the next few days. The official opening will be on Tuesday 4pm @ Pt Perry. 

Elizabeth Poole's Warning Bells

Life Line by Richard Newport

Wendy McGrath's Red Shoes

And still to come at Coolum is Jan Dunlop and Corrie Wright, both of whom will be installing over the next few days.

And at Boreen Point and Lake Cootharaba, there's a non-stop week of workshops, exhibitions, displays and performances happening. Here's Lyndon Davies with Gubbi Gubbi Dance performing at the official launch of Floating Land 2011.

Magazine Cover

If you see the Sunshine Coast Council's groovy new magazine 'Cultivate' laying around grab a copy and admire the amazing cover photo. Ok, ok. admire the magazine, not just the cover photo, which I obviously took seeing as I'm bragging about it. Sarah and I both have a smattering of photos throughout the mag. It's got stacks of info about what's happening around the coast especially in the galleries, libraries, museums, and venues as well as open air events. And it's FREE!

Cheers

3 of each.

The plan is to choose three favourites from each sitting we have permission to show. Of course, like life, plans don't always pan out the way we hope and we've missed a few weeks again. Sarah is off in Western Australia swimming with sharks (Whale Sharks- apparently it's been on her 'wish list' for a long time) and I've been in awe of the amazing autumn colours in Melbourne, while the blog and facebook page lay neglected. But here are a couple or recent ones. It's pretty tough limiting choices to only three but I've managed it, somehow!

First off... sassy siblings!

 This sweetheart had a whole modeling portfolio of images for me to choose from but I love the expression on her face in this one.

Then sweet Charlotte.

Introducing Relaxed & Fun Family Portrait Mini Sessions

It's been a gorgeous day here on the Sunshine Coast.  A beautiful morning, blue skies and yes, the sun was even shining!... just perfect to introduce our Family Portrait Mini Sessions! Photographed in our lovely, landscaped, local park near Caloundra, Mini Sessions are ideal for updating your family portrait in a relaxed environment; no stress, no hassle. Just a wander through our local park with the kids, and you end up with precious memories of their growing years in a beautiful natural setting.

So back to our session this morning, our little family were just perfect; relaxed, fun and great to photograph! Here are just a few sneak preview shots from their session... so many lovely ones to choose from.

Give us a call if you would like to find out more about our Mini Sessions.

Enjoy! Sarah

Wet & Windy Weather makes for a Cosy Studio Session!

Not to be put off by our very unpredictable Sunshine Coast weather we've been having lately, lovely little Indi-Rose had a great studio session with us this morning. Here are a couple of my favourite images of Indi-Rose's session... doesn't she look snug in our cosy blanket and cute woolly hat!

Hope you too are managing to stay warm and dry, Sarah :)

p.s. Thanks to Hilary for knitting the cute hat!

The flowers will die and she really doesn't need the chocolate...

Give Mum a gift that lasts. Precious memories of a time that goes by so fast. 

Call us now (well, not right now. It's late on Easter Monday/ANZAC day). Call us this week and book in to get Professional Portraits of your family.  p. 07 5492 6490

Don't let another year slip by.

 Don't forget the grandparents! They won't be around forever. (Too morbid? Sorry, but it's true. All my grandparents have now passed on and all I have left are the photos and the memories). Trust me, don't wait 'til it's too late.

 Capture their personalities. Soon you'll be celebrating their 21st birthday and wondering where the years went. (Trust me again, I know. My baby turns 21 this year!)

Our style is relaxed, natural and fun. Capturing the personalities, the emotions and the love.

Celebrate the Love

 Welcome to wild, wet and windy 2011.
We wish Queenslanders all the best as they clean up, dry out, rebuild and get on with life. With family and friends in both flood and cyclone areas our hearts go out to those affected. Especially at times like these, we recognise just how important our loved ones are to us.

To do our bit, we're offering to donate $50 from every lifestyle portrait session we book on the Sunshine Coast in February to go to the Disaster Relief Appeal. Lifestyle Portrait Sessions are $150 and include a $60 credit towards any prints you choose. Celebrate the ones you love with a relaxed, natural and fun portrait session. You'll be glad you did! Please call Sarah if you'd like to book a session. P 0417 768 800.
