Gemma (my other half of Le Photography ) & I escaped the big smoke and took her kids on a road trip to Koroit last week, about 3hours from Melbourne… after the little one had a nap on the 2nd day we escaped to Tower Hill.. We spied Koalas, got the older kids to “roar” like lions, chased the toddler, and drove past some Emu’s and some awesome old Volacanic rock…

10-1-10 Mail  -the furry babies got mail today, from their awesome vet Rhonda in the village… Looks like its jab season again! Family trip to the vet is in order with the 2 dogs and a cat… Mind you much easier than the 8 pups we had last time we scheduled a visit :)

11-1-10 Hot    - Yup that says 51 out and 32 in… and as I type (11:28pm) its 36 out and 34 in… The furry babies have all had a quick cold water rinse, much to their initial dismay… they seemed to understand eventually… maybe next summer we’ll have airconditioning…

12-1-10 Washer - Not many days you get spoilt for photo moments, but today I had a hard choice between Ash playing guitar, Atticus mooching with Bec and Scarlett washing dishes! Scarlett won today, she is 3 and started crying when we told her she had to stop washing and eat dinner… So excited that some of my fav little people have come to stay for a few days :) love it…
13-1-10 Science – An excursion to the scienceworks, loved the old wood and metal of the pumping station
14-1-10 Rad – Our 19kg box arrived today from Denmark, leftover luggage from our honeymoon! Mostly clothes that I bought for all our favourite little people… Including this awesome sleeveless hoodie… European clothing ROCKS!

24-1-10 Light – Random email from Husband today while I was at work, “Im going to rewire the house today, any requests?” … Made me laugh, he sounded no different to asking if I wanted something from the supermarket!

25-1-10 Hooked – Finished book 5 tonight, 2books in 10days… Sookie Stackhouse Im hooked..
26-1-10 Up – Was a pretty quiet Aussie Day today.. Gemma, Garrison, Bec & the boys joined us for a bbq.. Lanie rocked up just in time to watch & “UP” :) the boys fav… Eman thought it was neat to have Husband join him on the floor, and covered him with a blanket consisting of Dad’s shirt and Mum’s shoes… cute :)
27-1-10 Ignore – Checked the mail to recieve a 30% off full rolls of fabric ad… Ignore Ignore Ignore… yes I have ideas in mind… NO now is the wrong timing.. ignore..




Happy Australia Day! We have great weather here in Melbourne and are spending the day at home with the BBQ and some great friends.

But nothing beats a picnic! A couple of weeks ago we met some friends in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens down by the Lily pond. The location was gorgeous, so green and lush, such great inspiration for photos and a grand idea which we’re going to launch soon! So stay tuned…

We would like to announce the winners of the Hyggelig Hallways Showcase , firstly the photo with the most votes was #4 baby Mstr L ! I can’t wait to see this one on canvas! Mstr L won by 13 votes, looks like he had some great support from family & friends.

The winner drawn for the free Hyggelig Session & desk portrait valued at $200.00 is Georgina Gordon, we’ll be emailing you shortly with details!

Congratulations and thank you again for all your votes!

No preview this week, we purposely didn’t book any sessions, because we knew some of our favourite little people where hitting the big smoke, they live about 3hrs from Melbourne, and last visited in May 2009. So we made use of our days very well, including an excursion to Scienceworks & they loved it! My favourite part was the pumping station, I couldnt help myself and take a few photos inside the station, loving the combination of massive machines, metal and years of dust and grime.. then of course the kids didn’t escape my camera…. I got a bit of cheek, but it was all in fun… will miss them a lot! Janet…

We laughed at Atticus barking at the microwave to the sound of the corn popping and Janet jumped everytime she heard a gunshot in the movie (there were lots it was a Tarantino)
