Cuddles Series

The next portrait in the Cuddles series is of Chris and his beautiful wooden box. His story is below (:

My Mum gave it to me when I was a little kid. Apparently someone else gave it to her when she was little but I can’t remember who that was. Mum had used it to keep a little collection of odd and semi-precious stones and some old coins. I kept this collection, and added a few to it, before I grew out of that kind of stuff (just got too cool for it you know! Haha). It stayed in my cupboard for a very long time, but when the time came for me to move out of home it was one of the few things that I really wanted to bring with me (not really sure why, I guess it felt really special to me because I knew my Mum had cherished it too). At that time the varnish was starting to flake off it, so I gently sanded it back and applied some fresh coats to bring it back to life. Now I use it to store random little things like spare keys, watch links, membership cards and sometimes spare cash (not as much now that Maree knows where I hide it!).

 

Cuddles is a series of portraits capturing you and your favourite childhood toy or, like Chris, a special object.
Sam & Doggy
Isadora & Taj

Cuddles Part 2:

The second portrait in this series is my youngest cousin Sam and Doggie. Doggie is a true childhood soft toy. Doggie was originally Sam’s older brother Peter’s, who is now almost 20, but Doggie has found a new loyal owner. Sam adores Doggie and had a lot of fun with us setting up portrait shots for Doggie. Among the other shots are Doggie wearing shoes, eating ANZAC biscuits, drinking soft drink, reading a book and playing with Lego. Doggie even got a wash and blow dry when he accidentally fell in a puddle! These portraits were taken on our family holiday to Norfolk Island, which is a little slice of paradise. Sam loved hanging out with his older girl cousins and we loved spending more time with him, whether it was racing to find Easter eggs or taking photos in a church.

Thanks Sam!

Amanda Summons CUddles 2

Cuddles Part 1:
I’ve just started a series of portraits called Cuddles, depicting people with their favourite stuffed toy. Stuffed toys are a symbol of childhood and love. I still have my two favourites and they still sit on my bed, so to me, a cuddle from one of them can solve any problem. This first one is my American kinda cousin, Isadora, and the gorgeous Taj. While Taj isn’t a childhood treasure, he is a new found friend that Isadora bought when she went to Sydney for the first time. This was shot in my backyard in the golden hour after spending a day and night on Phillip Island together along with Emma, Mum, and Kai, Isadora’s brother.

Thank you Issie!
