Tiny Little Feet VIP Club Launches

I am excited to launch the new and exclusive Tiny Little Feet VIP club. VIP's are entitled to one complimentary shoot (worth $150) and a mini brag book of images from their shoot. VIP's can then earn credit towards further prints and albums when they refer their friends! Referred friends also benefit as they are entitled to their session for $75 which is a 50% discount. The more people you refer, the more print credit you get. However, there is no obligation to refer anyone.

I will only be accepting 3 new VIP's per month so call now for more details and to book your complimentary session.

I look forward to welcoming the VIP's.

Balmoral Burn - Sunday 27th May!

I thought would make use of the fact that I have been trying to keep fit for the last 6 months and do something for a very good cause. The Humpty Dumpty Foundation are hosting the "Balmoral Burn" on Sunday to raise money for children's hospital across Sydney. All I have to do is sprint the 420m (vertical metres!) up Awaba Street! Easy huh??! It looks to be a fun day out so if anyone else wants to feel the burn go to this site for more details on the race.

Australian Charity of Child Photographers

I just wanted to say a big conratulations and thanks to Siobhan Cowell and Jessie Broome who have put in so much hard work to get the ACOCP up and running. The site is now live!! We can now begin offing the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature birth, ill infants and children in the neonatal intensive care units of their local hospitals. We will also be able to offer this to cildren with serious illnesses. The service is completely free to such families. For further information about the service provided please go to www.acocp.org.au.

I am the state co-ordinator for NSW so please feel free to contact me for further information on 0420 713 667 or e-mail sylvia@tinylittlefeet.com.

Please take some time to think of anyone in your local community who may benefit from such a service.

Such a tragic accident

I am not really sure where to start, but this post is a tribute to beautiful little Ava, daughter of fellow photographer Sheye Rosemeyer. Little Ava lost her battle yesterday after accidentally being trapped in her parents car in the blazing Queensland sun. I cannot begin to imagine what her family is going through at the moment. It is tragic to hear that this the fourth incident of its kind this month in Australia, so I urge parents to take some time to explain to their kids how to unlock a car door or to use the horn if they are in trouble. It is at times like this that we realise how precious life really is. My thoughts are with the Rosemeyer family.

Exercise Addiction???!!

I thought that since I now live in a nice warm country that this was the time to get fit! I started SWAT training in November last year and have not looked back. Needless to say the 6am start and my inability to run up hills nearly killed me in the first few weeks but I am now reaping the benefit!

It is strange because I now feel that I can't stop! I am so scared of becoming unfit again that I have to keep going. Who would have thought it. I guess it has something to do with the lovely weather and scenery. I was even running on Christmas day and my 30th birthday! I would never have done that in London.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I never thought I would be this enthusiastic about exercise, but I am now! It helps to have a good trainer so if anyone needs one let me know an I will give you his details.

Thats all!

New Business Cards by Salt Print!

I just wanted to show everyone my cool new buisness cards which were designed and printed by Salt print.

Turning 30! And a visit to the Aussie Open.

It really is convenient that Australia Day is the day after my birthday!! A long weekend to celebrate is great. We travelled down to Melbourne on Thursday night and had a great trip to the Yarra Valley wineries on Friday. Thankfully we were not driving! It was on to the Ladies Final of the Australian Open on Saturday. It was great to be there and we ended up having good seats but Serena Williams completely destroyed Sharapova.  The highlight was when Pat Rafter came and sat next to us to watch the junior boys final! He looks pretty good in person!

Turning 30 is not a good thing! I will deinintely not be counting the years from now on!

CELEBRATION OF LIFE PROJECT

One of my resolutions this year is to give a little bit more back and I have been inspired by photographer Angela Shea who has just launched the Celebration of Life project. This is what the project is all about in Angela's words:

"I have often come across people in my community who are going through something in their lives whether it be sickness, recovery, a birth that has overcome great odds an adoption, and my automatic response to those stories is that I want to reach out to them and offer them a photography session ( free of charge of course).  Something that would document this time in their lives, wheather it be to leave behind memories for those they love or to comemorate a happy and joyful time.

To me the images that we take mean so much more than just a time and a place- they are a celebration of our lives.

"If these pictures have anything important to say to future generations , it is this: I was here, I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picure."

-Mark Romanek
