Here you'll be able to see what we get up to outside of our normal shoots and open dates. Welcome to the blog page.
I've not really been one to Blog before, however I thought it would be fun.

The weekend was a nice relaxing one for a change, Saturday spent time with family, even allowed my almost Miss 17 years, a chance to drive my beast, surprisingly she did pretty darn good, stalled the car a couple of times but must confess her take off's were smooth otherwise; the stalling was mostly on the hill take off.
Then for something completely different...
We later that evening after a lovely meal at my Aunts, went ghost hunting, took along the EMF readers and recorder and cameras and staked out an old building in the old land of Campbelltown NSW with no other light than a torch to illuminate the grounds; Army barracks once occupied the land. These premises in particular, are said to be occupied by a female ghost who wears black from head to toe with the olden lace up boots and ruffled layered petticoat skirt.
The air inside seemed a little inconsistent in temperature, and a tad musty, we headed toward the coldest section of the room a corner where she is said to stand at times.
Almost instantly both EMF's had 3 lights on them show up. They stayed there for around 10 seconds then as sudden as the 3 lights appeared, they disappeared showing only 1. We proceeded to move our EMF readers about in the same location to try to pick up the 3 lights again but to no avail.
We walked about the room and could only find 1 light showing thereon, entering a 2nd room that was offset to this, we set up the EMF's once more, not sure of what to say we introduced ourselves by name stating we were not there to do any harm but to understand why she or he were there, and then we waited, occasionally taking photo's at random only to discover a dark mass appearing in the center of one, right in front of me!
I have yet to listen to the recording.
Perhaps next weekend we'll head off to another location for anyone interested.
I look forward to another ghost hunt soon, it was admittedly quite fun! :)
Next Saturday the winner of the free shoot and album get to have their photo's taken, stay tuned we may run another competition soon! :D

We are thrilled to receive a letter from Animals Australia we notified them of our pledge to donate $50 for every shoot booking we do, although we already try hard to keep our rates low to provide quality for less we are prepared to commit to this if it means our money will be used to give these creatures a voice they might otherwise not have.
It's because of our valued clients this will be possible.
Letter from Animals Australia below received today
