uch has changed in the world since our last publication, including a new President and VicePresident in the USA. And here in Australia, our Queensland Premier remains on our side to keep our state healthy and free of COVID-19. After quite some time between photo shoots, I was so pleased to collaborate with local model Megan Buckley once again. I have to admit that my passion for Bohemian style jewellery designs is very close to my heart, so this was the chosen theme. After finding a beautiful oasis, being Peacehaven Botanic Park, I was truly looking forward to exploring and photographing amongst the native beauty of the gardens. Local Stan Kuhl had a desire to promote global peace and reflect on some of the great gardens he had visited in his world travels. Peacehaven

Park was officially opened in 2006. Toowoomba Council then purchased Stan Kuhl’s original home black and grey the park to 5.3 hectares. The beauty of the park was perfect for capturing my model and a bohemian theme. Megan arrived at my home, ready for her professional make-up session and brought with her the most beautiful pre-loved, vintage gown that her mother had found in a local second-hand store. To say that it was perfect, was an understatement. I love photographing with the model’s wearing solid coloured clothing and in particular, black or white, not to mention that my jewellery is showcased to its optimum potential in a visual sense against these colours.
