Delicious food + LIGHTROOM (finally)

Just going to warn you, this post will just be a seemingly endless scroll of ALOT of photos that ive photographed previously, but now with LIGHTROOM EFFECTS! I finally got this amazing software thanks to my best friend Matt :) Thanks a lot mate!
Niko's cafe in Oakleigh. These treats were like $5-$6 each. But very much worth it, they were amazing. 

An old photo of macaroons i made. Chai and chocolate with baileys buttercream. 
 Midnight snack in between assignments. 

 This caramel slice was HEAVEN. It took me two hours to eat because i was savouring every crumb of it. 
 See that thick layer of chocolate ganache right in the middle of this chocolate cake??? Magical. 
Eric and i stopped walked past some memorial tombstones on the way back to chadstone. 
Its connnniiieeee wearing my hat and shirt.
You will probably have seen these photos on some of my other websites. I cant remember which ones i have and havent put up. (I dont keep count) But these are the lightroom edited versions. 
We got helium balloons for this shoot and almost lost them when they got caught in a tree!
I really need to update my photography on my other websites.... this blog is the only site i regularly update. Subscribe if you havent already!
From the first shoot i ever did! (Wow what a long time ago that was...)

Reveiws and photoshoots

When i bought my ipad stylus from Dagi, they were generous enough to send me a few extra stylus' for me to review. I have the P504, P601, and P602.
P504 and P602 have the same capacitive tip, but one of them has a pen on the other end. 

 In order from left to right: P601, P504, P602. 
I gotta say, i prefer the P504 and P602 tips better. The P601 tip makes squeaky sounds, and has to be help on a certain angle.  
They are REALLY good for accurate drawing though! Just some quick silly sketch... I suck at shading. 
 
Curlformers :D Pretty sure ive been rambling on about there to anyone who will listen!
 I either sleep in them, for really defined curls, or just leave them in for a few hours. 
Btw vintage shirt i got from an opshop ^_^
 
*NONE of the following photos have been colour corrected/edited at all! Straight from the camera* 
MPC held a city workshop this weekend.  
 Matt reluctantly posing for me >:D
 Hosier and Rutledge graffiti lanes. (again)
 Heres a sneak preveiw from my shoot with Emily. None are edited.

Extra plushie photos

SORRY ABOUT TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! (I promise it wont happen again)

Ive been getting questions about some of the other plushies that i have, and also thought id upload more photos of the popular items.  

 Popular plushies also available in keyrings. 
 The cat plushie as a keyring.  
Pirate bunny [sold] Its resting against my computer (just for a comparison of size) [sold]
 
Pirate bunny keyring with pirate bunny plushie. [sold]
Evil bunny?
Evil bunny keyring. 
Ninja bear! I used to have keyrings for this plushie, but they have all been sold!
Here are a few more photos that were taken at the same time as the plushies photoshoot!
Cupido (plushie) just happens to match with what im wearing. 

Tigger and bubbles

Ive been so busy lately. Ive got a TO DO list with over 30 items on it... except that each task is not "do dishes", they are "summarise lecture notes, and finish 100+ pages readings" and "complete editing for clients" and "update photography on ALL websites" and "apply for jobs" and "start and finish assignment"... and so on. Each task requires 2+ hours... and ive somehow got to finish it all today (if possible). 
Time to get cracking!

Btw, MPC headed out the Botanical gardens (again) on a particularly rainy day. 

***None are edited! (Im too lazy)***
Gil in her Tigger suit... with BUBBLES! They are such a great prop for photography. 
Bubbles = Happiness. 
CHOMP!


Wheeeeee~ 
 Dreamy~
Models: Gill (tigger) and Pearl. Thanks for modelling pretty ladies!

Ive got a whole list of blog posts upcoming. 
Some of them include...
- Emily photoshoot
- Curlformers review (if youre a chick reading, stay tuned for this one - they are amazing!)
- Winter lookbook (nothing great... just stuff ive been wearing to uni, and getting weird looks)
- iPad DAGI stylus review (if youre a designer/artist, watch this space)
- Fashion blogger photoshoot (in the near future)

Also i just want to put it out there, that this blog is the one i maintain the MOST. So if youre following my other websites (*looks pointedly at tumblr followers*), it would be a good idea to follow this blog too, for more regular updates. 
I tend to just slap a whole lot of photos on tumblr, all in one go, every few weeks, to keep it looking pretty hehehe.
