Today photographing M and M’s bump I realised how cute this little one was! I mean M is 36 weeks, and looks *amazing*!!! It was a great way to kick off the week, and I am really excited to meet their new bundle in a very few, short weeks! All the best guys, see you soon!

The day of national mourning to remember the (last I read) 209 people who were tragically killed in the Victorian bush fires 2 weeks ago.

7 February, 2009. My G turned 6, it was a lovely day here and we had no idea of what was going on. I photographed the most beautiful wedding, their lives starting a new beginning. Happy times. It breaks my heart at times to know that while one person experiences sheer joy another experiences sheer heartache.

Today I sat in the lounge room playing “babies” with my girls. It was fun, it was great to have a break from my work. As we played away happily a few tears rolled down my face. “I am Australian” was being sung, and I felt so, so saddened to watch the service. I hope that somehow these people can move forward, but as a beautiful friend once said to me after a tragedy “you don’t move on, you just learn to live a new life”. It is true isn’t it? When you loose someone you love, or you are faced with hard times you don’t ever forget them, you just have to keep breathing. Sometimes each breath physically hurts to take!

My offer of all booking fees being donated is still running, so please consider this for the months of Feb and March! Thanks to those who have donated already, it is a lovely gift to give. In light of the mourning I won’t share any of my “education week” topics today. Be ready for tomorrow.

Finally, I am going to share this image of myself. I don’t know who to pray too, I am not 100% set on religion. I just hope that when I ask in my head “please help those in pain” that someone out there hears me and please, please makes a difference!

To witness so many people can loose their lives, loved ones, pets, belongings and also their faith in man kind. To know that some people may be responsible for such a tragedy really makes you feel heavy hearted.It is not right, not fair.
I have decided to follow the amazingly brilliant and kind offer by Kris Leigh (a few photographers are on board, so see who is near you). I am going to ask that my clients during the months of February and March donate their booking fee to the Australian Red Cross*. What you need to do is donate your $100 fee via the Secure Online Form and email me the electronic receipt and we can book your session in. This is a way that we can together help others and also have a beautiful session together.
Thanks in advance for the support.

Trash the Dress – Free session offer!
Something that I have wanted to do for some time is a “Trash the Dress” session. This can be hard to offer to clients as here in Bundaberg it is almost unheard of. What am I talking about I hear you say? Have a look at my all time favourite video online here: http://www.stillmotionblog.com/?p=139

I am looking for a couple that have recently been married (or maybe are engaged, or just in love!) and are happy to be my models for this shoot. It will be most likely held in March (whilst still warm) on a weekend, later in the afternoon for that lovely warm light. In return for their clothing and time they will receive a free booking fee and a 8*12 print (valued at $125). The bride will need to either wear her own gown or mine (sized 6/8). It will be great fun that’s guaranteed :) I am looking for an adventurous couple that are happy to do what I am envisioning.

Interested? Please email me at susan@susanwall.com.au Due to the needs of this shoot I will be asking for several couples to come and meet me and then I shall choose a couple that are most suitable. Please email me any questions you may have.

Take care blog readers, remember how fortunate we are to be where we are. Safe, loved and smiling.

*Does not include wedding bookings.
