School holiday's are perfect for getting outdoors with your family. There are so many great times to be had and memories to be made.

With International Women's Day just around the corner, it's been a great time to reflect on the journey I've been on over the last 10 years. I am so incredibly grateful to all the women who have both supported and inspired me since I first had the idea to start Make Me Iconic. From my very first market, to being stocked internationally -  there has been many many up's and down's along the way! I am always in awe of all the amazing women in this world, juggling family and business and also success. Strong women lift each other up, so today, in the lead up to International Women's Day I wanted to share with you two inspiring Women who have had such a wonderful contribution to my business #IWD2021

Do you ever flick through your photos of your kids and wish they looked a little... better? I’ve been a newborn and family photographer for about seven years now, in addition to taking countless photos of my own three children, so I’m here to share with you my best tips for capturing the best shots of your children, whether you’re using your smart phone or a DSLR or anything in between.

When you have little ones at home, one of the best things about winter's arrival is the outdoor play without worrying as much about sunburnt skin and overheated toddlers! We say embrace the cooler, cosier weather and set up for a day of play outside, in nature. With your collective imagination, a few props and their favourite toys, you can create hours of play with your kids, creating memories and family traditions you'll all cherish.Take inspiration from this beautiful play set up, and share your play creations with us!

Even before the pandemic, it was hard work to be a parent. And now, as parents we might be pulling our hair out with the extra stress of trying to a be a teacher now too. Being a parent is hard work – meaningful, rewarding, wouldn’t-trade-it-for-the-world – but hard work even more so now.. So take care of yourself and keep your cup full.  If you don’t do things to keep your cup full, you have nothing left to give or share with others.

I have put together some ways we try to manage our stress and anxiety daily during Covid-19. These are just some small things we can try help ourselves and our families as we navigate our way through this. Taking care of our mental health is something that I personally have been working on in the last few years and now seems needed more than ever. On an airplane, we’re instructed to put on our own oxygen masks first, before helping a child do the same.  If you think that’s a crazy idea, realize that you’re not much help to anyone if you’ve passed out due to lack of oxygen because you tried to help everyone else first.

Put your oxygen mask on first and please stay safe.

Mum's & Carers love knowing that they are cherished and appreciated. As we spend a different kind of Mothers Day at home this year it's nice to reflect a little bit and take a slow pace to life.

We're  all #stayinghome but that doesn't mean we can't try something new and get creative with our play. Re-imagine the things you have around you and set off on an adventure of the imagination... pretend road trips, outdoor picnics (or indoor ones if it's getting too chilly), cardboard cubby houses, garden treasure hunts, or simply setting up for play in a new spot.

We draw inspiration from the beloved quickness of our cities, and from the unsung icons of Aussie Life. One thing is for certain: at Make Me Iconic, we love this beautiful country that we get to call ‘home'. As time goes on, and as we face challenges together — such as the devastation of the current bushfire crisis  — we find ourselves appreciating our country’s natural beauty and rich cultural history even more.
