A birthday surrounded by my favourite people and being spoilt from afar by my gorgeous friends meant I didn’t really feel very isolated at all despite being in lockdown.

A sunny weekend was forecast, new stricter lockdown measures were announced and my birthday was coming up in a couple of days so it seemed like the perfect time to have a camp out in the front yard! It’s also good to air out the camper every now and again given how little we’ve been…

Seems there’s a bit of a demand for reusable face masks at the moment so I’ve been busy whipping some up… I’ve made an Instagram page @eva_and_tissy_store where I’m selling them. I’m very grateful to everyone for their response so far!

Oh my gosh I still have to pinch myself when people contact me for a family shoot outside their homes. It’s been such fun challenging myself on this new path. Everytime I arrive at a new home I’m full of nerves but as soon as I meet the gorgeous families all the nerves dissipate. I…

And so here we are deep in the middle of winter spending lots of time at home trying to process the potential of a second lockdown thanks to a surge in virus numbers. So I keep looking to colour as my medicine to help guide me through this dark time. Here are some recent colourful…

Cassie the insanely talented creator of my very favourite Variety Hour label contacted me asking if I was interested in helping her shoot one of her new turtle neck tops at home as part of a new direction to reflect the time we are living in. I absolutely love this locally made brand and never…

It’s no secret I love a bit of Gorman. Here is a bit of content I have been lucky enough to create for them recently!

When Australia’s first ethical super fund for women, by women says they want to work with you… you go for it sister! What an honour to take a few pics for this awesome Australian company on a mission to change their industry for the better.

We’ve spent more time than ever at home over the last couple of months and in all honesty I’ve absolutely loved it. Of course there are things I miss like seeing friends and family and going to the shops without the anxiety of catching anything but gosh being together with nothing to do and nowhere…

Oh Charlie how lucky you are to wake up looking out of your magical bedroom window every morning across to the beautiful willow tree and changing Autumn leaves alongside the cutest puppy Navy! And how lucky was I to escape the city to come and photograph you!?

Cutest family in the cutest street with the cutest house and the cutest kids!

Asha from Angus and Celeste got in touch with me to create some colourful content for her beautiful ceramics. We had a laugh because she discovered me through a picture I posted on Instagram about a gorgeous Angus and Celeste hanging planter I found in hard rubbish a few weeks ago… in PERFECT condition! The…

One of my closest friends had a baby boy right at the start of lockdown. I’ve been waiting six long weeks to meet this darling boy. Even if it was only from 2 metres away it was still heaven!

Lucky me! I got asked to shoot this gorgeous family with their brand new puppy Murphy… what a delight. I don’t get out much these days so I don’t who was overstimulated more… the puppy or me! Ha ha.

My gorgeous and clever friend Sara from Green Pop usually runs fantastic workshops making all sorts of things like floral wreaths, terrariums, clay pots and jewellery for corporate groups, hens days, birthday parties… whatever you can think of really! Obviously Sara isn’t able to run her workshops in person at this time of isolation but…

I’ve been taking some photos for families in isolation as a memento of this strange time of isolation but simultaneous togetherness. It’s such a privilege being able to document gorgeous families outside their homes.

I suggested we make Easter wreaths but the kids had other ideas. They are absolutely obsessed with the solar system at the moment constantly whipping out all kinds of facts and numbers about it (thank you screen time ha ha). So they suggested making a Solar System wreath complete with suspended sun in the centre!…

Below are a couple of the tutorials I used… Free Springtime Craft Tutorial: Felt Daffodils DIY Realistic Felt Flowers And here’s what I made (I used a cardboard box…

What better way to fill a day at home than baking and decorating some sugar cookies! I thought I’d share the recipe because these were easy with a capital E! I’m used to chilling the dough so they keep their shape, etc but these were just mix, roll, cut and bake all in one go….
