    "I attended the newborn mentoring session with Stella this past weekend, and it was truly an amazing experience!  She was so willing to share all her knowledge, tips, advice and answered any questions I had! I got to be a part of, and watch the whole process, from the set up and throughout the shoot to the end. The little model, Diego, was an ...

    I have been approached by loads of people with regards to a workshop...and after nearly a year of trying to organise it, have concluded that it is rather difficult - I wanted to have 3 babies per workshop and keep it to small groups so that attendees can get experience in actually handling a baby.  But, babies for some reason don't just f ...

    We grew up together. We went through the awkward teenage years together. We smoked behind our parent's backs. We drank cheap liquor and learnt about boys (sometimes at the same time:)  We snuck out in the middle of the night and did mostly nothing. We cried and laughed.  We got our hearts broken.  And now its lots of years later, and ...

      It has been crazy the first few weeks of January, but before the year runs away into February, I thought I would share some things.  I wake up every day and list things that I am thankful for, that way even when its a bad day, you have to find the good…so what better way to start the year than with the same thing. For my husband - wit ...
