Taking Time-out

Well blogging has been a little slow. As I finally had my operation last week. Docs orders NO SHOOTING for 6 weeks.YEH its killing me having my camera all alone for so long in its bag. Emails & booking for weddings have been keeping me busy. & thanks also to all those upcoming photographers throwing their questions at me this is keeping me slightly busy & occupied. So if you have any questions just email away. Till then hopefully I will keep blogging a little.Back shooting September 20-wooohoooo

Last week was 5 years since my Dad past away from Cancer. As most Dads out there are their daughters idols & best mates. He was no exception. Yes its been 5 years but somedays & some memories feels like he’s just here. I think if I had to describe my Dad to anyone with one word who didn’t know him would it would be “Larrikin”. Yep a truly aussie male with an aussie sense of humour  but a wickedly practical joker. His motto in life was work hard & play even harder. I guess thats why he had so many mates & was loved by all.

The thing that is so precious to me is I got to spend alot of time with him & got to know who he was really as a man, a worker, father & friend. But I have a little sister who was only 5 when he died-Grace. Sure she does remember him but she will never get to really know him or have him there to walk her down the isle.This is what makes me a little sad.My twin sister Nat  got that wish. She had to bring her wedding forward but he made. He was there by her side & got her down the isle & passed away the next day.  I do admire the strength it must’ve taken to do this. back then I was just starting to shoot weddings & This wedding was the toughest to date to shoot. Knowing he didn’t have long, seeing the frail state of him & my sister walk down the isle. Trying to keep the camera straight as I wiped away my tears & sobs…very difficult Such a hard sight to see but yet so precious & beautiful,

So heres a small pic of my Dad-Denis Cronin when he was alive. He had just been diagnosed but as you can see still being happy & positive.Cant wait till I see him again. Till then Dad
