Belinda Lee Photography

I’d like to introduce to this new blog I’ve found: Belinda Lee Photography. Belinda is a photographer from Melbourne. I definitely think you should go and peruse some of her lovely photos, and don’t forget to leave her a comment of two on her blog!

I asked Belinda to answer a few quick questions:

What inspires you?

Everyday life, those small things and intimate moments.  Everyone I surround myself inspires me in a different way and that impacts on my own life and photos (mostly my daughter and my family).
Photographers like the awesome Meaghan Cook and Angie Baxter, whose images I adore and aspire to be like, inspire me greatly. More so because they take the time to help out beginners like me (I just did Angie’s workshop and am heading to Meaghan’s first ever one in June). Editor’s note: Sprung! I did this interview with Belinda at the beginning of the year- can you believe it’s gone so fast?!, hence the now somewhat outdated response! Sorry readers, sorry Belinda!

When did you start taking photos?
I did photography in highschool but then follwed a teaching career (on the advice of my very sensible Dad). When I was pregnant, I was searching the internet for a maternity photographer and I was amazed at some of the beautiful images and my love for photography resurfaced.  When my daughter was born 19 months ago, I invested in my camera, started reading lots, trawling the internet, completing courses and practising on willing friends!  I’ve had a big year of learning.
What’s your best photography tip?

Try and do as many things to make yourself better, reading, researching, following great photographers and doing courses.  And practise, practise!  Most of all, find you own style, I love unposed photos and black and white!

What’s one thing you’ve learnt this last week?

That if whoever I took the photo for loves and appreciates it, then it is good, even if not technically perfect.  Oh, and how beautiful catchlights are!

Wedded Bliss

So some pretty awesome friends got married on the 1st of May. Their wedding was perfectly them, and SO much fun! I loved it- one of the best weddings I think I’ve EVER been to!

Here are some of my favourite snaps of the day. I love the details. xo

wedding

Tim, the guy who married them is the same Pastor who married us. :-)

bridesmaids

Two of our beautiful friends- Gaby and Sarah.

register

An unconventional way of signing the register…

lovecats

This Kim’s brother and a friend. They played Love Cats while they signed the register! It was awesome and everyone was singing along!

accordian

Morgan is french and the had a bit of a french ‘theme’ happening. This must have been a family friend? and she played the accordian. It was so fun.

girls

Me, the bride, and Naomi.

tea

They had all these tea cups set out with little sayings tied to them. You took one as you got a drink, but then you got to take it home! It doubled as the bombinere! This is such a good idea, no?!

kindwords

Instead of like a guest book, they had slips of paper and coloured pens that you could write some kind words onto.

And then you pegged them up to the line in the courtyard!

bunting

Handmade bunting! I totally love bunting, and after this I am very inspired to make my own! Great for birthday parties!

flowers

They had heaps of pretty flowers in random bottles on the tabels scattered around! So beautiful!

bouquet

Last, but definitely not least- the bouquet. Is it not GORGEOUS! I seriously thought it was beautiful!!

Think Pink

If you haven’t gone and answered 8 quick questions about my blog, then please do- so far I’m thinking that I only have 8 people who read my blog, so I’d really appreciate your time! You go in the draw to win a secret prize as well!

This week for My Place and Yours Danielle’s asked us to think pink!

Here are the pink things around my house…

thinkpink

We don’t have HEAPS of pink, but when I started looking around I was amazed at how much more then these things there was! Considering it’s just me and Luke (and Pepper) I wouldn’t have thought we would have a huge amount of pink… I will admit though, I am quite partial to it!

What pink thinks do you have around your place?
