Inside My Hideaway. Portrait photographer/blogger. I recently made the decision not to shoot weddings next year as we get settled into our first year of parenthood, and it got me thinking about all the things I’ve learned at weddings throughout the last several years.

Primarily that they’re utterly unpredictable. ;) I’ve learned what to do to avoid most wedding hiccups, but more often than not I’ve wished I could communicate some of these things to well-meaning guests. As wedding season is sneaking up quickly, I thought I’d write out a quick list of 9 things you can do as a guest to help make our jobs a little smoother. Keep an eye out for us. When a camera is up to our face, our peripheral vision isn’t exactly spectacular. Try to avoid standing directly behind us (especially during formals!) Save your skills for later. There is a time and place for photobombing.

Umm, please don’t grab us. Don’t step into the aisle. Today I am a wedding photographer, not a family photographer. We like food. P.S. Psychedelic Daisy. The Magpie Girl. ICING and WRITE. Made by julianne - adventures in making. Alchemy Tea. About « 3 Hours Past the Edge of the World. Hello!

About « 3 Hours Past the Edge of the World

I’m Steph, an American living in Brisbane. My husband is Aussie and we have a little girl. Tea Tree. I decided that I haven't really shared too much about my life lately besides the status of the move and y'all are probably totally bored with that, I'm sure.

(Thanks, everyone - by the way - for your support during this whole process! Your excitement for my move has gotten me that much more comfortable with the whole thing.) Anyway, looking back on September's posts so far, I feel like the last glimpse into my real daily life was way back at the beginning of the month, when I posted about my evening at the fair. (The fair was over Labor Day weekend.) BY THE LOCK. Modern rustic design. In December I visited the studio of one of my favourite ceramicists, Nicola Tassie.

Modern rustic design

You may recognise her work from Margaret Howell or The New Craftsmen. Each pot is slightly different but all display a defiantly strong form and experimental use of clay and colour. I am in awe of Tassie’s experimentation with clay. In fact, every morning I drink my coffee out of one of her cups, and each day I think how incredibly beautiful it is. For me, that simple, faceted clay mug symbolises everything that I love about design; it’s accessible, well-crafted, well-designed, and my life is enriched by using it. Whiskey for Breakfast. Wild Olive. Do you ever start talking about something and the person you're talking to has no idea what you're saying?

Maybe you started mid-thought, you used the wrong word, or some background info was needed? This happens to me, and I usually say something like, "I knew what I was talking about! " hoping to laugh through it! Well, I don't want that to happen here on the blog, so today I'm sharing a little about what surrounds me, and how that affects who I am and how I blog.

When planning a trip, saving money before you leave is important because those savings at home translate into extra spending money while you are gone. Spending some time now searching room rates will allow you to spend more money when you are actually staying in that room. When you are searching for online reviews, Trip Advisor is a the go-to site.

Time for me to fangirl over fashion shows! Take the time to see the world. Escapism.: March 2012. The title is self explanatory- this is my 50th Blogger post, yay!

But with that came Flickr saying "you have reached your upload limit" and I'm too scared to pay for a PRO account, so I'm trying Photobucket (bear with if this doesn't work please). Bobbly Rainbow Socks. I had a pair of jeans once.

Bobbly Rainbow Socks

They were slick and cool, Teddy boy tight with punky brass zips up the sides. Unforgivably narrow, but just a little stretchy .I became truly attached to them. And I wore them. I wore them day in, day out, hating to see them head off to the launderette and yanking them back on the second they returned. They were tatty enough to wear for gardening, but nice enough to dress down with a Ralph Lauren shirt, scuffed Beatle boots and wild dreads. Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola. TUTORIAL: Coffee Stirrer DIY Wall Art - makeanddogirl.com.
