30 Days of My Kids - Day 23
I couldn't decided between these too, so decided to post both of them. Snap shots but having fun with lego.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 24
Kids don't have to be looking at the camera for an image to be great, this proves it. I just love the way her hair flows in the breeze.
This is the other image that I took that I just love.
Enjoy,

30 Days of My Kids - Day 22
Here she is all ready for school. Another snap shot, but it's my girl so of course I'm going to love it.
Miles loves going for walks. And while it wasn't raining I thought we would go for a stroll and get out daily dose of vitamin D. I wasn't actually looking through the view finder in this one, It was a general point and shoot shot (at hip level), as I continued to keep walking. I just love the framing of this one.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 21
Here is my girl, all wrapped up out of the bath, it's a snap shot, but I love it all the same.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 19
Today Miles and I went for a walk, while the sun was out. Out at Cato Park there are parks of the path that naturally pool with water.
It's just as well Miles loves wearing his gum boots. He had a great time jumping in the puddles.
I love the splash of water coming from his shoe, and his reflection in the water.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 17
While Kayla was watching some of the zoo keepers I captured this image of Miles. I just totally love the 'blue steel' look he is giving me.
One thing I love about the Halls Gap Zoo is they have a great playground area. There is this chubby house, that is the home to 3 ferrets. The kids love playing in this chubby house. But what I love is the window. It makes for great photo's.
I couldn't decide which image I like the most, so I did a storyboard instead.
Miles
And can't forget my beautiful girl Kayla
These images make up for my 'non' days.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 16
This image just cracks me up. My 2 decided to play hide and seek. If they can't see me then of course I can't see them.
Enjoy,

30 Days of My Kids - Day 15
I processed this image lomo style, as everything about this screams 'gangsta'. I love how his beanie is folded, how it's pushing one of his ears down, how he is giving a 'how you doin' look' (like Joey from Friends). It captures my boys personality to a T.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 14
So many images of my boy (well you'd expect that when my girl is in school and I get lots of one of one time with my boy), but today is an image of my dancing girl. Yes she is dancing, and I believe she is dancing to Delta's 'Sitting on top of the world". It's a complete snap shot, but I don't care, it captures the essence of my girl.
30 Days of My Kids - Day 13
I do believe he was actually saying 'Hello'. Very cute. This particular image I had to do quite of bit of editing to it to get it the way I wanted it to look like. But I adore it in black in white.
Enjoy my hello boy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 12
Miles and I go for a lot of walks. Weather pending that is. And we always seem to end up at these pile of rocks near the railway line. He loves it because he loves looking for treasure or for rocks for his 'rock' collection. Therefore this shot has more of a story to it and an memory of a time that Miles and I share together.
Enjoy,
Matilda

30 Days of My Kids - Day 11
This is a complete snap shot, nothing set up about it at all. Hey I'm not going for artsey fartsey every shot, sometimes it's nice to have the snap shots capture those moments.
Here is my girl, showing off Teddy. Teddy is much loved. He is my sisters Teddy, she has had him now for 26 years! He is well loved and he totally rocks! And yes his name is Teddy.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 10
I've made it 10 days! Only 20 more to go. I do hope my kids don't get sick of me taking photo's of them. I don't mind, it has been nice to document their lives.
Well here is Miles again, I honestly could not tell you what he was watching on tv, but he look so cute with Teddy tucked up under the blanket on the couch.
Again in black and white, as I liked the tones in black and white over the colour version.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 09
I love this image of my little boy. I love how the light falls. No flash just light from the window.
EXIF Data is as follows:
ISO: 400
Lens: 50mm
Fstop: 1.8
Speed: 1/160
I processed this one in black and white cause sometimes portraits just pop out more in black and white. I could have also cloned out the little scab he has under his eye, but I figured he's a boy, and he's bound to have bumps and bruisers, or in this cause a scab or too.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 08
Out of all the images I took this was the only decent one (that was 100% in focus). I still love it. I can't believe how grown up my girl looks.
Enjoy,
Matilda

30 Days of My Kids - Day 07
After picking the kids up from their nanamoo's we decided to go to the park. Miles however did not want to go to Cato park. So decided to drive over to Halls Gap for a change of scenery. Kids loved it.
Love this shot of them on the slide.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 06
We were walking up to the toy library when I captured this shot of my boy. I couldn't really tell what the image looked liked in the camera as it was quite bright, but I love how this one came out, his crusty upper lip and all.
I just love the way he put his beanie on too, if it were red, then he would have looked a lot like papa smurf.
Enjoy,
Matilda
ps. I didn't shoot this one on manual. I shot it on the 'portrait' setting. He was just moving so fast (he was on his bike), and out of all the other 'auto' settings portrait is the one I use over all the others.

30 Days of My Kids - Day 05
Caught Kayla just after dinner. It was a sausage pasta, which obviously she throughly enjoyed.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 04
Miles is totally loving the bath at the moment. He was being a complete merman and just want me to take more photo's.
Here you can clearly see his eczema. But we did have an allergy appointment the next day regarding this, so in a few weeks it should be cleared.
He is still a happy boy though.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 03
Captured this shot of my two (primarily Kayla), just love how it works in black and white. Also love the frame within a frame.
This is my bonus image.
I was not looking through the view finder at the time, as I was trying to get both kids attention, so my window framing is off, but I still love the image.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My Kids - Day 02
In the car to the hair dresses. Kayla loves her long hair, but it was in serious need of a cut. So this is her before shot. Just look at all that fly away hair. Love how the light falls in this one.
Enjoy,
Matilda
30 Days of My kids - Day 1
I've been in a photography slump lately. I love photography but with no sessions at the moment I need a creative outlet.
So I thought I would do a photography challenge. This one is obviously theme related, and that's my kids.
So here is Day 1 my boy Miles. Miles suffers chronic eczema :( you can see the bits around his eyes, doesn't stop him being a happy go lucky boy however.
