Weekly Winners is inspired by Lotus at Sarcastic Mom.

Here are my favourites from the Year Six Farewell shoot, actually, I had to cull some. There are so many but to put everything into perspective, I ended up with almost 400  shots on that day alone. Don’t you love digital photography?

Maddy & Keely.

Maddy.

Walking the line.

My beautiful, windswept assistant.

More tightrope walking.

bridging the gap.

Imogen Martine.

Demure.

Immy & Mollie

Framed.

Together.

Friendship

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” - Anais Nin.

This was taken on the evening of the farewell. AJ hates having his photo taken, so I thank my lucky stars for the ones I did get.

I love this one.

Immy and AJ.

Lily dressed up too (bless her cotton socks) she is not in 6th grade for another two years.

Year sixers three.

For those of you following the hair saga, the girls went to the hairdresser and had curls put in. I did the rest.

It cost them less than half their earnings.

On the Sunday we went into Sydney. This is the clock tower at the Queen Victoria Building.

See the tree? It starts at the ground level and goes all the way up. I’m taking the photo from the third level. So -  ground, level 1,2 & 3…

We went to have a look at the window display at David Jones.

Mal was in awe.

It was too overwhelming for Noah, who put himself back in the stroller and strapped himself in. The crowds were huge. Too much for a little country boy (and for his mother and father too, just quietly). We tried to see Santa but there was an almost two hour wait. So we retreated to Hyde Park.

Mal chased the pigeons and the Ibis.

Everyone relaxed in the wide open spaces. It is a gorgeous park, right in the centre of Sydney.

The reason for our trek into the city. The girls’ were given tickets to the High School Musical stage show for Christmas. (Thanks Gran).

It was fantastic!

This might not seem like a winner but for me it represents time with  my big girls and it is also a landmark photo because I had a “lightbulb moment” with working out iso on my camera.

Outside the Capitol Theatre.

“We love you Troy!”

The curly girl, in the park.

Hiding…

AJ thought he would be smart and interrupt a photo of Imogen.

Gotcha!

At home: Christmas beauty.

My first batch of Rolo cookies.

Three trees.
