Welcome to my slightly tardy 10 on 10 post for April, it’s only 4 days behind but who’s counting. Not me as we’re renovating and I think that is a good enough reason  ;)

This month has been fantastic, and whilst I adore school holidays, and spending time with our beautiful girls, I’m so thankful they are going back to school tomorrow. I will rarely say this last statement as i know the days can be long, but boy are the years way too short for my liking. They have looked at way too many vanities, toilets, kitchens, etc, etc for my liking. Fun mixed with work. Every day I scattered in something for them and something for their new home. They have scrapped up glue from the gorgeous wooden floors, helped clean and gotten way to bored for a 5 and 7 year old!  We ended our holiday with a short stay with dear friends down at the Gold Coast. No house renovating, just time with family and friends  It poured with rain but we had fun. Thankfully this morning on our last morning down at the beach the sun shone!  :) For that I’m so thankful  xxx It was quick but so worth while. These photos were taken on our little outing this morning xxx Mainly featuring Sienna to balance out for March featuring mostly Keira  ;)

Thank you for dropping by, and to those wonderful friends that have helped me this past two week with the kids - play-dates, last minute calls for help, renovating angels and helping hands. I’m so grateful, you rock and I love you for your support!

Please make sure you check out our talented group of women in our circle, you can see  Ardelle’s post over on her blog xxx I know I’ve said this before but I will find time to blog again this week. Enjoy your night, all my love xxxx Jodes

Sarah - Wow…Love them all, can’t even pick a favorite. I’m so jealous of where you live too!

Ardelle - Jody this series is awesome, love them all! Gosh the gold coast looks beautiful.

March 10 on 10, a tad tardy, but hey it’s here and well like last month there’s a few more images than ten. A continuing theme for me  :) !

Sunday for the Ryan family was a full on day, the kind I love (minus the camera incident) : the morning was a bit lazy, I love it when the girls come and jump in bed to have a chat on the weekend. We spent the early part of the day riding and playing in the park. Sienna is learning to ride without her training wheels, and she did really well for a cautious little girl on her maiden solo ride. Daddy did let go for a second or two, but most importantly she was extremely pleased with her efforts. Mid morning I had a photo shoot, which found my D800 crashing to the floor in a heartbreaking thud, before I’d even taking a frame  :(  . Luckily the camera was jammed in Manual mode, so the shoot continued full of fun and laughter! Phew, cameras can be fixed – people not things I whispered to myself as I examined the damage. The afternoon lifted and the skies cleared, If you’re reading this from anywhere other than Brisbane, Australia, it has rained non-stop for what seems like forever. In short I won’t keep on rabbiting on, the afternoon was full of laughter and fun with Keira teaching her Dad how to roller-skate. Sienna joining her friend for a play date, and a late afternoon scooter ride that saw our eldest tearing up and down our street.

It was the kind of day that you could have every day, hanging with the people I love most, doing what we all love to do …….well minus the camera incident. Just in case you’re concerned she’s in the camera shop as we speak getting looked at by the doctor.

Thank you for dropping by, please continue to Melissa Stanfield’s blog (an uber talented lady from Fayetteville, Atlanta) to complete the circle, I adore the afternoon light she has captured her daughter in. xxx

Have an awesome day and drop back soon X Love Jodes

Sienna didn’t want her photo taken, so Keira has the lead this month xxxx Jodes

One quick frame from today. The past 5 days have seen me learning, laughing, inspired and generally exploring photography with some pretty cool and interesting people. I have one day left, and I face it with excitement and curiosity at what it will bring. Please meet the effervescent Mish, it has been a joy meeting you. I promise to blog a session on Friday, I’ve got so much to share, until then have an amazing time XXX Jodes

Something very special

February 15, 2013 Posted inAbout Me,Personal

Thank you Samantha and Lachy, when I opened my email to find an uber cool Super 8 video of our shoot together I cried. You are so kind, and so very talented. I love it and you guys so much, Thank you!

We had so much fun on your photo shoot and I’m blown away each and every time I see the photos hanging on the walls of your home. You see, for the people reading this post that don’t know you personally Lachy is an extremely talented cinematographer and photographer. So to have you choose me for a photo shoot was nerve – recking and uplifting all in one. It really was lovely hanging out with you guys. Something I never tire of!

Wishing you all the Best with your new Super 8 wedding films a fabulous idea – I LOVE them and I know bride + grooms will too!

Thank you for dropping by my blog, and have a lovely weekend xxx Jodes

February sees me beginning a personal project 10 on 10. I have watched on as some talented photographers from around the world have completed this monthly project. One that I so wanted to do but couldn’t find the courage to put it out there. But 2013 is a year of courage, growth and just doing what’s on the wish list. Not just wishing it will happen. I’m so loving 2013 so far!

Here is my first month, hopefully the first of many! Although I found it very hard to edit it back to only 10, and I feel this might be an ongoing issue. The 10th of February was just a normal Sunday. I slept in (thanks to my hubby – he got a cooked breakfast as a reward:)) we hung out, played games, took the munchkins for a bike ride, and just spent time together. It was wonderful, simple and relaxing. Just what the doctor ordered.

I hope this finds you well. Enjoy your day and thanks for popping by xxx Love Jodes
