The Batblog by Photobat | Portrait and Wedding

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting up with the Johnson Family for a family portrait with a little bit of a difference. The location for the portraits was the reason for the photos. Steve and Judy have been running JJ’s Bakery in Longford for years and decided to move on. So these photos were a farewell to be business as well as some family shots.

This shot is at Table 10. This is apparently where everything happened, from business plans to drinks with friends. It seems that this table was one of the historic parts of the old mill building.

Did I mention these guys are master bakers? Steve has won so many awards, so a quick photo with the trophy was in order. Steve is still baking, his Christmas cakes are fantastic and you can buy them up at K&H Cafe and Resturaunt on George Street in Launceston (Old Cafe Manfred).

Incidentaly, Kara (above) is one of the managing directors of K & H on George Street in Launceston!

This last shot is Steve at his favourite spot in the Bakery, next to his Pizza Oven. While these guys may have retired, they have not gone too far. Apparently Judy is still there everyday, While Steve is busy making those amazing Christmas cakes. I really do suggest you go and get yourself one to try and another one to try again!

A few weeks ago Cara had a ball to go to, this was just after we did her family portrait. So we decided to do some shots of her before she headed off. We took all these shots in the family home!

The dress wasfrom a dress rental place from the mainland (I didn’t know they existed!) and arrived the day before the ball. All a bit last minute and nail biting for cara but it all turned out well and it really was a fantastic dress.

The last couple of shots were taken in a coupel of minutes when the car arrived, had to get some cool shots with that!

 Thanks again to Cara for letting us come and play, and big thanks to Belinda Fettke for givimg me a hand holding the light. She also took some amazing photos because she is an amazing photographer!

This man is Danny Wallace. I just finished reading his latest book called “Friends Like These”. It is a book about Danny turning 30 and his attempts to find many of his old school friends and updating his address book.  It took me just under a week to finish this book, and there were a few times that I was laughing out loud and even cried from laughing out loud.
So, if you are looking for a book, head out to your nearest bookshop and look for this book and enjoy it. Plus lookout on January 1 when the film version of one of Danny’s other books “Yes Man” will be out in the Australian cinemas. It stars someone named Jim Carrey.

A few weeks ago i caught up with the Marshalls some generational shots. It has been a long time since I had taken a generationa shot that wasn not at a wedding so it was fantastic to get 4 generations in the one shot.

Austin is just too cool, I could take his photo all day
