Some of you may be wondering what is happening here?? Where has Jenae gone... Moved to Melbourne never to be even or herd from again?? Here I am.. Settled, happy and moving forwrd with our new adventure. I have decided to keep Project Photo operational, as my own personal blog. A way to separate my family & business photography. So while I won't be posting here as often.. Chek back from time to time for updates in our adventures discovering the beautiful city of Melbourne. I have several posts planned in my head, and as I fly home to say... Continue reading

The finality of our move to Melbourne.. The house is packed.. The cupboards are empty.. Much needed supplies were delivered... and the truck arrived. Furniture was dismantled - (with a little help!) the truck as loaded and off they went. House packed - cars gone. See you in Melbourne. Now it is time for me to get emotional. I am sure there (have already been) will be lots of tears as we get ready to leave next week. I know we aren't too far away, and that we are going on an amazing adventure.. but it sure as hell doesn't... Continue reading

When I was given to my owner on her 2nd birthday - I knew that I would be well loved. I have been worn more than your average skirt of my size would - but I am honourned and feel so loved by this young girl who insists I be worn at every opportunity. I have been slept in... squished (rather uncomfortably I might add) into her car seat, worn and admired by many passerbys whilst doing the food shopping... and that is just an average day.. Today was an extreemly busy day - no more than usual with my... Continue reading

Is when it all began. Well in truth it began about a month ago. The decision was made to up and move to Melbourne after calling Perth home for our entire lives. It is a huge move - and one that we look forward to with anticipation and enthusiasm...except at 6:13am when the call comes that the truck is waiting outside to take the first of our possesions accross the Nullabour. (Truth - the call came at 6am. I couldn't drag myself out of bed that quickly this morning!!) Pauls baby was hitting the road - well not directly.. but... Continue reading

Hyde Park... So much fun. The girls dressed up just for the occasion :-) So many photos taken.. but thought I would share my favourite 3 and give you a bit of sunshine on this not so sunshiney day... and this one (and dare I say my favourite for the day.. taken by Aunty Mel..) Hoping for some sunshine and more play soon... Happy Days Jenae Continue reading

It happens to all of us. Our kids get sick. Some sicker than others. I thank God every day that I have 3 healthy children. So when one of of your kids gets struck down - to the point of "I can't get out of bed Mum" you just want to click your fingers and make them better. Kaiya wasn't well yesterday.. but then perked up in the afternoon and I thought she was all better. It is actually VERY common for Kaiya. She will run a fever for a day - then be fine. So when she awoke today... Continue reading

My gorgeous ratbag of a boy turned 6 this week, and after a small personal hiatus from the camera it was time to dust it off and get take some family photos. He got the DS that he has wanted for 2 years since watching Kaiya receive hers on her 6th Birthday. I had put it off for SO long. I really don't like computer games a heck of a lot - and Cooper has a very addictive personality... But with the impending move to Melbourne and LOTS of plane time ahead of us.. I gave in. Can you see... Continue reading

Ponte Vecchio Piazza And some from the Vatican in Rome.. and finally one of our seasoned traveller in Rome.. Still so many to share.. so keep checking back... or why not join me on Facebook? Happy Days Jenae Continue reading

Jet Lag. For one thing as adults is easily enough dealt with... we know why it happens and how to cope with it.. For a 2 year old... to try and explain why you can't get up at 1am - well that is kind of hard. Amelie has had the most trouble re-adjusting to Perth time. My poor little girl has been SO out of sorts - from sleeping, eating and everything in between. I have managed to get her back into a routine of sorts this week, so lets hope perseverance will get us there in the end (which... Continue reading

I am home and now have access to my photos and can finally upload and share some!! These photos finish off Day 1.. considering there are about 18 days worth of photos.. this could take a while :-)!! Looking back on our first day there.. it makes me realise how much ground we covered!! The Pantheon - Inside & Out Time to keep moving.. alot of time was spent on Dad's & Uncle Stoofs shoulders.. Piazza Navona It was HOT in Rome... 35+ most days... so LOTS of Granitas were had.. :-) Piazza Di Popoli My Lil Italian Mafia Man...... Continue reading

Wow. Wow and WOW. I am absolutely in awe of this City and its history. The places we have seen have be literally sending shivers up my spine... and I was bought to tears when I walked into the Vatican this morning. You can't help but be absorbed by the history here. We have eaten LOTS of Gelato, LOTS of pasta and Pizza. The food is simply amazing. I cannot get over the flavour of Tomatoes... even Paul is eating them!! (Yes - pick your jaws up off the ground) The kids are loving the food and are slowly getting... Continue reading

I love capturing a series of photos.. a story can be told without words.. I hope you like my story.. Happy Days Jenae Continue reading

Had a few quiet drinks at the shop.. thankyou to my friends and family that came.. it all meant so much to me. The friendships that I have made through owning this shop I will cherish forever. It has been such a big part of my life for so long - letting go will be hard. But I must remember that I am moving on to new adventures, new... Continue reading

I was blinded by the growth of this little girl.. my baby who will be 2 shortly.. what an amazing addition to our family she has been. A reality check for me about what is really important in life.

Oh how I LOVE Augusta. How I yearn to take my children there and have them build the memories that I built in such a beautiful country town. Growing up, it would be a regular holiday destination. Staying in a caravan or Chalet at the Molloy Island Caravan Park, sitting on Poppa's boat waiting for everyone else to stop fishing (oh how I HATED fishing), my brother poking the fishes eyes out, loving the trip home from fishing as freezing I would sit on the front of the boat and feel the cold crisp air hitting my face & the...

I had a fabulously refreshing and relaxing weekend in Margaret River. My fantastic husband stayed at home with the kids, while I hired a camera and headed south for some much needed soul rebuilding. I couldn't leave without snapping a few at home first.. My favourite 4 legged boy... our (almost) 11 year old toy poodle - Chewbacca. and one of my favourite 2 legged boys.. willing to get in front of the camera for a change - but cheeky as always! and then it was time to head south.. to my 2nd home in Margaret River.. I spent the... Continue reading
