Cake Smash

Baby Cake Smash This is a cake smash I did recently to celebrate Nick Morrison to celebrate his first birthday. His mum made the cutest set in their back yard. Kris and Koral wanted to remember their second son’s birthday Nick Morrison. I wanted Nick just be kid and play and eat the cake as kid would. I didn’t pose Nick or his parents just roam around the back yard and have fun.   Nick is a cute and has beautiful nature and with his mums gorgeous outdoor set this was an easy and fun shoot. Toowoomba turned on the warm spring weather so Nick could have an outdoor bath. I wasn’t just a great photo opportunity but practical as well because Nick had cake all over himself.

Its unique time when your engaged its when you are excited and hopeful and before the and thework begins. Dennis and Tyanna were lucky enough to be able to bring her parents along to The Japanese Gardens t

This was the exhibit at The Grid Ruthven st Toowoomba.   Jack Atley, Fancy Darling and Thomas Neal have spent the last six weeks working closely together. "We all have a different approach to art ," Jack says. "Tom makes stuffed toys. Fancy paints and draws and etches. I make unique 3D digital sculptures." "Most artists develop a visual shorthand we communicate ideas with," Jack explains. "We've taken each other's visual metaphors, thrown them in a blender, and re-interpreted them individually and collaboratively." Jack Atley https://www.facebook.com/jackatley?fref=ts   got   the idea from   Tunisian collaborative painting style to create the exhibition. "As you do a collaboration you tend to lose control over the art. The art becomes i
