middle finger

Sleepless nights have forced me to reckon with my fears of failure. I have been back in Australia since mid Jan, and although productivity is on the up and up, my mental state is giving me the middle finger.
Nobody wants a walk in the park when starting your own business, otherwise all the parks would be empty...
positivity and motivation, paired with careful planning and following this plan step by step is crucial. Ive just completed my 15th dress sample garment, the emails from potencial manufacturers from China and Morocco are starting to trickle in, and plans for the first photoshoot are baking in the oven.
It only sounds good.
In reality the whole thing is making me so nervous, Im thinking about creating an alias and releasing the first winter range in a different state, maybe even a different country
but that would just be for tail between the legs fun. This is serious, I've gotta get back to work, no time to even finish this sentence...

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils  throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
