Capturing the Impact: Photographing Delta Therapy Dogs at Hornsby Hospital

Image
  Capturing the Impact: Photographing Delta Therapy Dogs at Hornsby Hospital Volunteering as a photographer for Delta Therapy Dogs at Hornsby Hospital has been a rewarding experience. These specially trained dogs visit patients and staff, bringing brief but meaningful moments of joy and distraction from the hospital environment. Quality photos are essential in showcasing the work Delta Therapy Dogs do. The images help raise awareness and funds, ensuring more dogs can be trained and placed in hospitals across the country. A well-timed photo of a patient’s smile or a nurse’s quick pat on the head tells the story of how these visits brighten the day. It’s been great to contribute to such a worthwhile cause. The photos help keep this program running, and I’m grateful to play a small part in making sure more therapy dogs can reach those who need them.

Dynamic Photos For New Clown Doctors

Image
  There are some new Clown Doctors in town... The Humour Foundation have thoroughly trained these highly specialised laughter professionals ready to visit our children's hospitals and aged care facilities. Today we met at the Children's Hospital RNSH. A tough one for me as we were in exactly the spot where my daughter spent some time after a traumatic incident a few years back. I thought I'd be okay but turns out I was a little shaken. Then I was reminded of the beautiful sparkle in her eyes when she told me the clown Docs had paid her a visit and I was okay. We went on to get some great shots which will be used for calling cards for each of the Docs.

Graduation Photo's - Don't Miss This Important Day of Your Life

Image
Graduation day can be a bit of a whir.  The ceremonies, the parade, walking onstage to accept your degree, the speeches and the after parties.  You'll be elated and proud and generally on a high of happiness. It is a wonderful achievement just to make it through. During all of the buzz, p eople will be snapping phone pics. They are great memories but take it from me, in a few years you'll wish you had put a little more effort into your photos.   I graduated in the USA and could bring as many family and friends as I wanted to the ceremony but here in Australia quite often you are only allowed two. Like my client. He really wanted a professional photo with his grandmother to remember forever. What a lovely idea. Nana was in a wheelchair but managed to stand for a few quick shots and a huge hug from her grandson. It was very emotional for me because sadly, my Nana died shortly before my graduation. Sharing this moment with my clients was just wonderful and I'm so glad they f...
