Sometimes you need to try something new to rediscover the old. I ran my first school holiday workshop for kids and was truly amazed by what I learned. The children’s wonder, excitement, and ability to enjoy simple things was inspiring. I was particularly touched by the stories behind some of the photos. Having a creative outlet can be such a powerful thing. The experience reminded me of my own photographic beginnings and why I love what I do. It’s a journey that has come full circle and nowadays, I delight in simplicity and embrace the beauty that exists in the everyday. #lovelearningfromkids
Special thanks to Caren from The Hendrie Group for her amazing support and entertainment skills on the day! :)
Do you have a little shutter bug in your family? I have two and I love it when they explore photographically. Whether it’s with my phone, their barbie camera, or my SLR, it really doesn’t matter. I just love seeing their perspective of the world.
During the upcoming school holidays (Spring 2014) I will be combining my love of photography and my children’s love of craft to create a unique school holiday workshop. I am so excited by the opportunity and cannot wait to share the results with you!
The morning workshop will start with some outdoor fun in the beautiful Wyreena gardens where each child will photograph what they love. Photos will then be printed out and used to produce photographic coasters. Each child will take home their own set on the day to remind them of their adventures.
So if fun and useful craft to keep kids busy during the school holidays gets you excited too then do book early. Workshop is limited to 10 children only.
