Oh Alice!
You are all such awesome blog readers, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this little space in the interent.
I really want to know what YOU think. This blog is, after all, a place where you (hopefully) come back too, and I want it to be about things you want to read. The survey is here, and everyone who fills it out for me will be in the draw to win a secret prize! It’s not long, only a few questions, most of which are multiple choice!!
Now, back to our regular programming… 
Last weekend we went and saw Alice in Wonderland for Luke’s birthday. We gave it 4/5 stars, which is pretty good for us!
To celebrate I thought I’d share with you some ‘Mad Hatter’ inspired photos I took last year…
Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Inspiration…
I have these photos that I need to scrapbook for our holiday scrapbook. I don’t particularly want to do something the same as all the others, and I don’t want to put in HEAPS of papers, cause they’re expensive. Any ideas or inspiration to give?

Learning…
I’m just learning when it comes to photos. But you can check out some of my more favourite photo shoots on my portfolio page.
Last night I quickly went to take photos for Tyson, one of Hayden‘s friends. He needs them for an acting portfolio. The shots had to be clear, and neat- nothing too artsy etc. I’m hoping that the ones I took did the job okay…
Like I said in the first sentence, I’m still learning about photography, and I think I learnt a thing or two from this shoot. Here’s what I learnt!
1. Natural lighting is best. I didn’t have any of that cause of the time I finished work, but I would have much preferred being outside taking these, instead of trying to find places that had enough light. Not having the natural lighting meant that when I was editing them I had to spend a lot of time getting the colour natural looking. Hopfully I pulled it off.
2. Look into the eyes. I’m not sure what other photographers think of this, but my favourite shots of Tyson were the ones where he was looking directly into the camera.
3. Backgrounds. They make a difference. Tyson preferred the brick background, so we took the majority of shots against that. When I look at the photos though, my favourite ones (as far as colouring goes) are the ones against the wood… I agree with Tyson that the brick is more interesting, and gives a nicer look to the photo, but they were harder to edit and get him to have colour in his face (the flash, again from no natural light, washed him out a bit).
4. Planning. This was incredibly spare of the moment. Hayden just messaged me during the day at work, so I had no time to think about the photos we’d be taking until I was at his house getting set up. This meant that neither of us had good ideas about what kind of photos we were taking. Hopefully Tyson got the ones he wanted. I’m doing some photos for another of Hayden’s friends, Zoey, this Saturday, for the same reason. Hopefully we can spend some time planning the types of shots she wants. We’ll be doing it in the daytime too, so look out for another blog post on her photos. Hopefully I’ll have fixed any mistakes!
