It only took me three years to get around to having my professional photos done. I have an enormous aversion to cameras, regardless of which side I’m standing on.
But here’s the result, a photo that doesn’t make me cringe. In fact, I’m really happy with it. Isn’t the light wonderful?
The photos were shot by the wonderful Cassie Eggert of Ivy &Pine Photography in her family’s fabulous, hand-built, recycled timber shed. Talk about a dream writing studio! Oh, Lordy. Surrounded by greenery, filled with natural light–don’t get me started on the loft (swoon!) that’s fully equipped with a Juliet balcony.
I set the scene with my vintage typewriter (a gift from my lovely editor friend Liz), a beautiful teacup, and a stack of gorgeous books.
So, that’s one task I can scratch off the rambling to-do list. Funnily enough, I found out this morning that I totally missed the Google Authorship boat. At least my blogs, Twitter, and FaceBook pages will benefit.
I love this photo of you, Alison. You look absolutely gorgeous! I love the typewriter and tea cup, too – how appropriate. Love Tiana x

A complete success. Maybe you could hideaway in that loft on a rainy day and live your dream?

Thanks, Charmaine. I’ve given serious consideration to asking if I could use/rent the space. It’s gorgeous and so quiet. Probably hot in summer though. No AC.
