Last weekend I got to spend the morning with this lovely family of four in a beautiful setting on Lake Macquarie. It’s so nice to meet a family for the first time and instantly feel at ease. We had a great time together running around and playing to capture their family photographs. I have so many favourites from this session.

Today’s 10 on 10 instalment was another great day in the Jewkes household. Sunshine and family time make me happy. We started out with pancakes for breakfast followed by a trip to Terrigal beach for a swim, surf, coffee and some people watching. Home for lunch and then back out to wish my niece a very happy 17th birthday for tomorrow. We hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow Helen!
Beautiful images to capture what looks like a perfect day!! Thanks for sharing them. Xx
Looks like a perfect Sunday. Love the image of your daughter practicing ballet on the ledge. x
Thanks so much Abigail and Mary xx
Today has been a fantastic day for me. A trip to our local waterfall in the morning followed by a 13km run in the sunshine finishing at the beach where my girls were surfing with their dad. The excitement on Alice’s face when I arrived at the beach was infectious. She couldn’t wait to tell me and then show me how she can now paddle onto a wave by herself and doesn’t need as much of her dad’s help anymore. We’ve been showing her Youtube videos of some pretty awesome female surfers and skateboarders and she was keen to try out some new tricks on her surfboard that she’s seen the professionals do. Some days it’s hard to believe she’s only 5 years old. There are so many good female role models out there in the world, the sky really is the limit for our girls. We are constantly telling them both that they can do anything they want to.
Yesterday and last night we experienced some pretty wild weather with lots of wind and rain. This morning decided to take advantage of the blue skies and sunshine and check out our local waterfall, Somersby Falls. We weren’t disappointed, with lots of water rushing over the falls. Don’t forget to check out our little video at the end of the post (music is Open Season by High Highs).
Your video is wonderful Kathryn. I love Somersby falls but never been luck enough to see it flowing like that. Sounds like the perfect Sunday x
Thanks Mary, it’s really flowing at the moment – such a pretty place.
Lately, my personal life has definitely taken over from my work life. My eldest girl started school and I’m in the middle of a hectic training schedule for the Canberra Marathon. Yep, I’m going to run 42km in 7 weeks time. Crazy? Probably. Determined? Definitely.
So my business has definitely taken a back seat for a while. I love to bake for my family and have tried to add some little homemade treats into the girls’ lunch boxes. Last week I tried this recipe for white chocolate and berry muffins and they were an instant success. The girls love them and they freeze well so we can take them out as needed.
Ingredients
60 grams butter
2 cups of self raising flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup low fat milk
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups of frozen mixed berries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200C
Line 36 mini muffin tins with mini patty papers
Melt butter in microwave and allow to cool
Add combined flour and sugar. Then add egg and milk and stir with a wooden spoon.
Gradually add choc chips and berries and slowly stir until just combined.
Spoon into the papers
Bake for 20 minutes or until browned
DELISH!!
Last weekend I was lucky enough to photograph this lovely couple exchanging their vows in a beautiful ceremony by the waterfront. The day was perfect, the sun was shining and a cool breeze off the water.
