I’ve decided that a 4 part blog is the best way to split this up!  Welcome to Part 1! 

I was on a workaction (work + vacation) last week in Australia!  I had a great oppurtunity to travel with my good friend and colleague Brenda Swann.

Brenda was already down under when I flew in to Melbourne on the 14th of April.  Her good friend Jane lives there and she was a great hostess, showing us around the city the first few days!  Below is an awesome alley we passed and I couldn’t help grabbing a few shots of the ladies!

We went to The Esplanade Hotel and I got this cool shot of the chandelier! 

The view in St Kilda

These are Beach Boxes in Brighton, just outside the city.  They are little shacks that locals purchase (for a lot of $$) so they can have some place to retreat in the Summer while visiting the beach!  It seems you can also store your boat in them.  You can read a little more about them here. This was probably my favorite thing to shoot, I wish I could have done a session here! 

 

That skyline in the back is Melbourne

Our last day in Victoria, we drove along the Great Ocean Road (see the rainbow?).  We made some stops to check out the gorgeous view!

 

 

This stop was at the Split Point Lighthouse located in Airey’s Inlet

and Eagle Rock, by the lighthouse (you can see the shadow of the lighthouse in the water!)

Our final stop before heading to Geelong was outside of Lorne, at Erskine Falls.  Jane took this of me and Brenda!

 

 

Well, that was the first few days of my trip!  Next up:  Engagement shoot from Sydney!
