Here are some shots of my friend Nathalie’s studio. She makes some beautiful pieces of wearable art and this is where it all takes place. I have about 20 of her pieces at the moment, and will be photographing and posting them up soon for you to see.

Hi again! Here is a shot I took for the resto Adam works at, called the Brix. They serve a really beautiful and tasty degustation menu. This was a monkfish dish I shot for an invite they sent out.

Hi guys! It’s been awhile since i’ve posted anything… We’re starting to settle into Melbourne living…  Here is a photo I took for a resto called Muttis, yummy posh Austrian food.

So we left New Zealand last week… it was sad to wave goodbye from the plane, but who knows we might be back.. We are now in Melbourne Australia, food capital of Oz! I have to admit, it’s hard settling into the city life… Job searching and flat finding and all the rest… I long for the farm life, without the stress and hustle and bustle. However the city offers the moola… and at the moment it is needed as we’ve depleted the funds being farmers. Anyways, we are settling in, and today i spent a bit of my day wandering around with my ‘lens baby’ doing some Street Photography – something you can’t do in the country-side!

Hello, hello! So Adam has been playing around with woodworking lately, building mini surfboards and ipod cases and things.. I knew it was going to happen someday soon, but today was the day he injured himself with the tools… He cut a pretty deep hole into into his palm.. We rushed to the hospital, but only got steri-strip put on it, because it’s in an awkward spot to get stitches… This means he can’t get his hand wet for the next 5 days. Which of course means I’m in charge of the cooking! Even though no one thinks I can cook because mister Chef Adam does all the cooking, well you’re mistaken. I can cook, and started my cooking at a very young age actually…baking cookies when I was 6 for my ‘Brownie’ friends… Anyways.. here is my post of food, that I made all by myself, zucchini chocolate cake! (with zucchini’s from the garden of course)

Today my husband Adam made some super delicious, fattening, bad for you, cinnamon buns.. Oh man they are yummm.. Here is a sneak peek; for the recipe go to his blog

Hola amigos y amigas! Adam and I have stopped our south island road trip and have been house sitting for an awesome family in a place called Staveley, in South Canterbury.  It’s beautiful around these parts, and especially beautiful on the farm we are staying at. However we are about an hour away from any good surf… But… a few days ago before the family left, the kids took us scurfing! The next best thing if you’re not near the ocean!!! Here are a few photos from the session:

The Moeraki Boulders are a group of very large spherical “stones” on Koekohe Beach near Moeraki on New Zealand’s Otago coast. These boulders are actually concretions that have been exposed through shoreline erosion from coastal cliffs that back the beach.They originally formed in ancient sea floor sediments around 60 million years ago. Pretty cool!!…

Baldwin Street in a suburban part of New Zealand’s southern city of Dunedin, is considered the world’s steepest residential street. A short straight street a little under 350 metres, an average slope of slightly more than 1:5. Its lower reaches are only moderately steep, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete (200 m (660 ft) long), for ease of maintenance (bitumen—in either chip seal or asphalt—would flow down the slope on a warm day) and for safety in Dunedin’s frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%). That is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 metre.
