Oobi Baby&Kids Blog: Darcy Skirt Photos by Paula McManus

We were so blown away by Paula's gorgeous photos on our Facebook Page Facebook - Oobi Baby&Kids that we contacted her for some background info, here's what she had to say...

I went to the beach to photograph the sunset and, from the carpark, I saw this gorgeous girl running around in a beautiful pink skirt. I made a beeline towards her and was happy to stand and watch her, she was just delightful in her layered tulle skirt. I started a conversation with her parents and they were happy to let me take some photos of her.

The series of photos taken that night are now some of my personal favourites and I have entered a few of the photographs into a photographic competition, of which I am an Australian finalist (competition is currently in the voting stage, so please wish me luck!).

I'm not sure how much information you are requiring for your blog, but I have a small amount of information that I list on my website and my Redbubble page:

My name is Paula McManus and when I am not in the office doing my day job, I am an amateur photographer, based in Adelaide South Australia.

I have always had a love of and a fascination for photography but didn’t get serious about it until a year ago.

I love taking photos, especially of people and nature. I try to capture that ‘something’ that I see – the emotion, the personality, the colours – photography is an art all its own and with each shot there is the randomness, the wonderful surprise of capturing the moment.

Beaches, rural areas, close ups, jetties, pelicans, sunsets, flowers, people – these are all favourites. A favourite phrase of mine is “It’s not what you look at that matters…..... it’s what you see”

We thought these were just amazing! Thanks Paula for sharing your story, it's amazing (and how incredible that the little girl was wearing the Darcy Skirt on the beach!).

Love,

The Oobis xox
