It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. I’ve photographed a few awesome things and booked in lots of weddings for wonderful people! I’ve been seriously sick with the flu but am slowly recovering.

Also, I’ve been nominated to be in the running for the Australia’s Top Photographers 2011 in the wedding category. That’s cool, but most importantly… my mum thinks i’m awesome!

A few days ago I photographed an event for Rachael Finch. Rachael has been international model since the age of 17 and in 2009 won the Miss Universe Australia title. Since then she has been a consistent face on tv! She made it to the grand final of MasterChef & was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars!

Recently Rachael (and her partner Michael Miziner) opened a dance studio named Dance Planet in the centre of Sydney.

Rachael and Michael are currently holding a fundraiser for the Queensland Flood Victims where you can dance with the celebrities from Dancing with the Stars for just $25 per lesson. Their goal is to raise $25000 for this event. On monday night I had the pleasure of photographing the first night of this fundraiser for Rachael. As you’ll see in the photos, everyone was having such a great time. It was awesome to see Rob Palmer, George Havardous and James Tobin at the event dancing away too!

You can see all the pictures here: DANCE FOR CHARITY – WITH THE STARS – PHOTOS.

I can’t recommend this enough! Do yourself a favour and get along!
