Let's Do 52 - {12/52} - Vintage Tractor Charm

I loved this little find .... a couple of pieces of rusty old farm machinery dotted into an overgrown field of grass, weeds and wild flowers. This 'Fordson Major' tractor was beautiful in all its rust, cobwebs and dust, lit by the afternoon warm sun, and somehow still stoic-looking, even though it no doubt had seen better days. To me, it had a certain 'Vintage Charm'.

Let's Do 52 - {11/52} - Back home

This week's theme for the 'Paint the Moon's' Let's Do 52 is Beauty in the everyday details ..... and I must admit, for the first time in this challenge I got a little tripped up for a while. I wanted to use this year long challenge as a push to get me to think outside the square somewhat, and see how I could apply my take on the themes......

But as the week neared an end, my husband arrived home from overseas - the last couple of months he has been away more than he has been home, and my daughter & I have missed him immensly. I woke up one morning, and there it was, his toothbrush back next to mine, right where it belongs. So yes, I have taken a photo of toothbrushes! And I'm not quite sure whether anyone else will want to see our tootbrushes ... but to me, this perfectly summed up the beauty in the everyday details.

{Campbell family} - sneak peek

I had a fabulous morning yesterday exploring and running around the park in the warm Canberra sunshine, with the gorgeous Campbell family, for some fun family shots as they welcome brand new little Ferghus into the world.

Fortunately wearing my comfy shoes, I chased and followed beautiful Seumas ... there was bubble blowing, duck hunting, Wiggles singing, swing swinging, and at one stage he was a monkey in a tree and I had an elephant sticker on my head.....

Thank you Moira & Callum for a fun session with you and your boys ... please enjoy this sneak peek of your photos.

They are a beautiful family aren't they! And check out this little bundle of fun....

At the start of the session, in an effort to get Seumas in nice & close for the photos, we had him kissing his little brother Ferghus .... and then everytime he would come near Ferghus, sweet Seumas kept puckering up and covering Ferghus with kisses. Needless to say, I ended up with a few photos of the top of Seumas's head :)

And here is the beautiful little man Ferghus .....

Chocolate banana cake

I was inspired by a recent posting by a 365-er friend, of a quick & easy chocolate banana cake .... and with a Public Holiday here in Canberra today, Tara and I thoroughly enjoyed the no work/childcare day and instead smooshed bananas, ate the chocolate designated for the cake, and eventually whipped up two cakes (she wanted a "small one for Tara").

And I will need to add some words......
This week's theme for 'Let's Do 52' is 'Monochrome tones', with an alternate theme choice of 'The Perfect Pair' ...... thought I would cover both this week :)

My husband and I sharing a cup of coffee .......
I love this so much.....
.... and we are making more of an effort to try and sit down in our hectic days and 'catch up'. And I guess it sounds a little silly to say that we are trying to make time for that - but it is amazing with all that keeps us busy, particularly our little girl, that simple pleasures like this often get overlooked

{Mini-sessions} - a snapshot in time ....

Rebecca Doyle Photography is pleased to offer 'mini-sessions' - a great, compact way to have some lovely photos taken, in a shortened version of a full photo session.

At the end of your mini-session, you will have a collection of beautiful images to choose from - individually printed on professional lab, high quality paper or canvas. Mini sessions are a great way to create a beautiful piece of artwork for your home, or a gift for a loved-one.

And speaking of gifts, give some thought into choosing a 'theme' for your 'mini-session'.... here are some suggestions:

• How about some fun photos of your children for a Father's Day or Mother's Day gift?
• Share the love with a 'Valentine's Day' themed mini-session.
• Looking for family Christmas cards? I know a great idea.... a mini-session!
• Looking for the pause button as your little one is about to turn one, hoping you can stop them growing so fast? (I know that feeling so well!) - how about capturing some 'first birthday' themed photos?

Please email me at becdoylephotography@gmail.com for more details about our exclusive mini-sessions. Mini-sessions are offered in Canberra & surrounding areas, and Melbourne. Mini-sessions are currently being offered for a limited time only, so please contact me if you are interested.

Here are some of my favourite images from a mini-session with the gorgeous Laura....

Let's Do 52 - {9/52} - Crimson Lips

I thought for a quite a while about the theme for the 'Let's Do 52' weekly photo challenge - 'Framed'. What did I want 'framed? What did I want to do the 'framing'?

I love my curly hair. Agreed, on somedays its proneness to frizziness can be exasperating, but at the end of the day I love it.

I wish I had the courage to walk around with bright crimson lips. So for a photo challenge, I can don the red lipstick and hope that soon I can walk out the door with it on too.
