Photography Inspiration {Max Attenborough}

Hello lovelies! I do hope you have been enjoying your weekend so far. Husband & I have spent another weekend wrapped up in our search for an apartment, but this weekend we found some goodies. I hope I will have more news next week!

I stumbled across Max Attenborough's photography portfolio after seeing one of his images in a lovely blog (forgive me, I cannot remember which one!) couldn't resist sharing them with you.

I adore all of the styling he has done in the shoots, they are refreshingly innocent and he captures the composition flawlessly.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday darlings!

Escape to Wonderland

Love everything about this whimsical shoot.

Photographer Shawn McDonnell has done a brilliant job of creating this fantasy world through his interpretation of Alice in Wonderland.

Beautifully styled and the white rabbits are just so cool!

A {Berry} Lovely Weekend

Husband and I spent a wonderful weekend visiting the southern coast of NSW. Our last stop was Berry - the cutest country town filled with gorgeous boutiques, gift shops, homewares shops, eateries and old-fashioned pubs.

All of the buildings are country-style and have managed to retain their original charm. I took a few snaps, here are my favourites:

If you are ever on a road trip in NSW, I strongly urge you to visit Berry, you won't be disappointed!

Oh and hello to all my new visitors :) Hope you are having a fabulous week.

My kitchen: by day and by night

One of the things I wanted to do this year is was sharpen my photography skills. I have dabbled in photography fleetingly in the past and always loved it but never took the time to learn the craft properly.

So, having recently acquired a Canon 30D from a friend on an indefinite loan, I couldn't pass up the the opportunity to learn.

And what better way of learning than taking shots of our apartment, right? 

The first shots I have taken are from our kitchen. We have a galley style kitchen with virtually no bench space, so overcome this problem we recently purchase a benchtop from Ikea, which has made a monumental improvement to the space.

It now means I have room to spread out when cooking and extra storage, which always comes in handy! On the other side we have 3 barstools that create an extra seating area and another 'zone' in the apartment.

Next up: the living area.

Hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
