I am a designer, photographer, teacher, homeowner and newlywed (among other things). My passions (besides design and photography) include Food, Sport, Landscaping and Renovating, and fun DIY projects. I am madly in love, with my husband, my animals, and life in general.
My blog is about the things I love to do, when I can find the time to do them, and serves as a photographic journal of day-to-day happenings.
The photo on the left is a good indication of my personality. 40% of all photos taken of me I am pulling faces like this. My tongue features a lot in my wedding photos. Another 40% I’ll have my photo face on, and the remaining 20% would be genuine emotion.
I’m into photos. Not just photography, but snapshots of random events. I love that these images are documenting a time in our lives, be it happy or sad, for us to look over later and remember that moment.
I’m also into creating. All sorts of things. Since I was little I’ve always loved making things, building stuff, painting, crafting, sewing, drawing, writing.. This is definitely my area of creativity, since I am severely lacking in any kind of musical, singing or dancing talents.
My business ventures:
Madly Deeply is my jewellery design business, re-named and re-launched after a 5 year hiatus. The last time I was making jewellery I went a bit nuts with having a billion different designs and not much focus for the business. This time around I’m much more organised and have 8 set designs that I create by hand. I love all of them, and have a pair of each of my designs that I wear often. I sell the earrings on the Madly Deeply website and also over at my etsy store. I especially like the way the black beads I use (lava and glass) contrast with the sterling silver wire. Soon I hope to learn how to cut designs from sheets of sterling silver and have a whole other set of designs, which I also plan to turn into necklaces and bracelets.
Danvers Creative is my main freelance business, I work as a graphic designer. The services I offer range from very affordable web packages for those in need of simple and straight forward websites to promote themselves or their business, to very in depth and complex custom web design for small to large business owners. I work for local, national and international clients, as distance is no barrier when working on the internet.
I am also available to design identities for small business’, including logo design, business cards, matching stationery and promotional items. Flyers, brochures, calendars, uniforms and postcards are all possible, feel free to contact me if you need anything designed at a good rate!
Just Details is my current project that I am working on, which will hopefully launch by the end of Novemeber. It is a Canberra based community website and forum, providing wedding planning services and guides to Canberra Brides (or Grooms). I hope to grow the community to include members involved in all facets of the wedding industry that are based in canberra.
The purpose of JustDetails is to help you out with the little things, the details of the day. The details are what make your day about you, so let the Brides-to-be of Canberra help you make it a great day.
