A Milestone & A New Venture

Hello Again My Wonderful Followers,

And my apologies for another extended absence. Over the past few months I've been a nanny, worked on a poultry farm and in a warehouse, and shot a friend's wedding, among other things. It's been pretty busy and I've had to let a few things slide, but I've missed my little blog. Things are still busy enough with another wedding this weekend, but I'd like to be around here a bit more often.

Last night as I was reviewing my stats, I clocked over 40,000 views! THANK YOU to everyone who has been a part of this journey; irregular and rambling though it may be, it has been fun. 

In other news, my latest venture is launching Bianca Ruby Photography as a separate entity and beginning to build its brand. It's exciting to see this dream of several years become a reality. I'd love if you'd follow along on Facebook and Instagram @biancarubyphotog!

Thanks again guys,

Bianca

: : We all need a little push sometimes : :

Kiddos asked for an explanation and these options were supplied, take your pick Alex said :P

1) "Alex carefully balancing on a tightrope while cameraman points finger"

2) "Cameraman pretends to gently encourage tiny Alex"

3) "Model maker manipulates miniature figurines in lifelike display"

4) "Alex desperately escaping a giant Isaac"

5) "Cameraman with obviously too much time on his hands has a laugh between photo shoots"

6) "What is Alex doing"

"Running for his life by the looks"

Jarrod's 18th Birthday

The little bro turned 18 this year, and several of us decided that was a milestone worth celebrating, so organised a little surprise for him :) 

Alex & Isaac {secretly ;P } came up from Wellington for the event, turning up at our place to surprise him a little before we said we had to leave (destination unknown ;) haha) 

We met a couple of others at Escapade for our first experience with escape rooms. Initially we were at a bit of a loss what to do, and I would by no means call myself an expert now but we did better as we went along, and I think we all had fun in the end. 

Afterwards a couple more friends joined us for dinner and I think a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all :) 

Themed Shoot || Country/Western {Installment 1}

I typically don't get photos of myself very often these days, so when I wanted a themed shot for my 21st, I asked some friends to help out :P This will have to be the first installment, since I haven't made time to edit the rest yet lol. Thanks again Alex (ARROWHEAD) and Isaac (SkyzoneNZ) :)
