Can you believe it’s already 2022?

As I get older the years seem to fly buy. An energetic shift has already happened with the new year; despite being a new year it feels like the closing of a 20 year long chapter of my life as I am moving back to my home town of Sydney in just a couple of weeks. It is crazy to think how much courage I’ve gained in 2021, having faced some of the most unexpected trails, conquered fears, but also experiencing unforeseen joys and liberation. 2021 was a numerological “10” year for me which is both the closing of a cycle and a new one beginning which feels true. Sometimes change doesn’t happen straight away, we need to let go and say goodbye to all we have experienced before we can truly take a leap of faith into the future.

I reigned in the new year with some of my friends from church as we had dinner and watched the lovely fireworks. It’s been a few years since I’ve got out of NYE and seen fireworks so it was a lovely change of pace from my regular NYE routines.

2022 has so many blessings and adventures awaiting me and I cannot wait to experience them.

Photos taken on Canon Autoboy Luna 105S and Agfa Vista 400 35mm film. Scanned by Lazarus Lab (I also chose to have borders scanned for this roll) which I love.

Earlier this year my friend Amanda asked me to do a photoshoot with her! She’s a musician and was hoping to get some photos she could use for her album covers, flyers and marketing. Of course, I was happy to take photos of her!

Amanda brought a creative and confident energy to the photoshoot which I appreciated a lot. It was definitely a collaboration!

My favourite thing about shooting with Amanda was her modelling and her creativity. She was full of ideas and inspiration for the photoshoot and had several outfits prepared. Her friend Kate did her makeup and it was stunning in person.

Enjoy the photos!

Can’t wait to take more photos of Amanda in the future!
