Siri is another of my beautiful norwegian friends. Her and her family have been so amazing to us the last week, having us stay in their home, tasting all their home baked delights and taking us up to their cabin in the mountains. I love the grass roof, the blue and white porcelain and all the homely touchs. What a treat.

I loved the norwegian bands that played at the festival.
Really enjoyed these bands:
       Mhoo
       Thomas Dybdahl
       Ralph Myers & TJHB
       Howl
and The new wine

worth checking out.

Vinjerock is the coolest event I have been to. A small music and mountain sport festival held in the the mountains in Norway. I worked the weekend as a festival photographer. Everything about it was awesome, the scenery, people, music, food and events. Sensory overload. Words can't really describe the experience, hopefully the photos do a little better job.  :)

Even the postbox's are beautifl in this country.

Anna is my gorgeous norwegian friend. Being around Anna is like watching bubbles float in the air, moving and changing yet so beautiful which ever way you look at them.  I met Anna a year ago on one of my trips to Indo. She lives and studies in Fremantle, it has been so much fun sharing our culture and life. I am so blessed to be spending some time with her now in her home town in Kristiansand, exploring her childhood haunts, picking wild berries and walking down to the local lake for a swim.

Jessica + Stephan are the last gorgeous couple I had a chance of shooting before leaving Perth. Two stunning faces and beautiful personalities.

I wait at the Singapore airport for my transfer on to the big wild world, which really is not that big and probably not that wild.
Next stop London then onto Oslo to photograph the Vinjerock festival :)

I live a truly blessed life. I have been able to spend the last two weeks enjoying the beauty and warmth of the northern part of our state. I now have a week at home packaging albums before I head to Europe for 6-12 months to learn and grow more in my photography and meet all my family that I have only heard about for the last 27 years.

Anyone wishing to get in contact with me while I am away can do so via email, my website or skpe (arlenebax).

Can't wait to share my journey, work and experiences with you.

This is Jake. He can juggle coconuts. Thats pretty clever if you ask me.

These where taken over at Cape Kimberley in Queensland. I'm looking forward to spending much more time this year concentrating on my lifestyle and documentary work.

Jack is the beautiful new baby of one of my good friends Amy. I was privileged enough to make a trip over to Queensland last week to meet the little man and catch up on laughs and life with Amy. A few images of the cutie...



And one Amy took of us together... Yep he's not screaming, yep, he's sleeping. I think he likes me :)

A couple more from my sister Ruths family shoot :)

Choc milk and birds are both so exciting. Caleb is one of my sister Ruth's beautiful boys. I spent yesterday afternoon with her family in roleystone, having a picnic and taking photos.

Ava and Flynn were the super cute pageboy and flowergirl at Jodie + Gregs wedding this weekend. I thought it totally adorable how stoked Finn was running down the aisle.
