Sunday Night Fish n Pics - #16

Turtles are irresistible!

This guy was peeking around a corner as I swam along the reef and though he looks a little grumpy with me, he really wasn't. Once I got closer, he just shut his eyes and went back to sleep :)

NEWS: I'm back in Exmouth & everything's working again!

Hello, My Lovelies! I am back in Exmouth after the most fantastic trip.

I spent excellent time with my family back in the USA for the first time in a year (too long!) and I spent three mind-blowing weeks in Africa.

Me with a lion cub at Lion Park in Johannesburg, South Africa

I didn't have enough time or access to the net while traveling to keep up with posting here, as was my intention. Now that I'm back, I've started looking through my many images and I'll be sharing some of them here over the next few weeks, so be sure to keep an eye on this space!

I hit the ground running once I landed in Exmouth with Mel & Dean's wedding the day after I arrived, lots of orders to process, new client enquiries and fixing the unexpected domain problems that cropped up while I was away. Those problems caused multiple emails from you to bounce back, undelivered.

That has been fixed as of this morning and emails to kristin@kjaphotos.com are working again. If you have sent something to me in the past couple of weeks and have not yet heard from me, please resend your original email and I'll answer within 48 hours.

Let's get Africa started with a little family I had the pleasure of spending time with one day

Exmouth wedding photography - sneak peek!

High school sweethearts Melanie & Dean tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Novotel Ningaloo on Friday afternoon. Afterward, we headed to the Lighthouse (windy!) and Bundegi for some photos.

I think this happy jump sums up this couple - enormously happy, exuberantly fun and exquisitely in love!

Mis & Dean it was a such a pleasure meeting you and being a part of your lovely day!

Stay tuned for more...

Sunday Night Fish n Pics - #15

Anglerfish (called frogfish in the US) have to rank in my top three underwater creatures. You can bet if I find one on a dive that I'll be a) using a ton of air giggling & yelling squeeee! through my regulator and b) spending most of my remaining bottom time watching it move its cutie feet & waggling its lure around!

We don't see these nearly often enough here on the Ningaloo Reef and I can remember each and every one I've ever seen over the past 15 years. No, I'm not crazy or (too) obsessive - they're just such special surprises every time!

Sunday Night Fish n Pics - #14

I feel kinda bad for the squirrelfish. They are a nice red colour and there are usually quasi-cooperative groups hanging out along the reef, but somehow I seem to overlook them when it comes to taking photos. They just aren't as fancy or wow-factor as some of the other fishies & critters I come across.

I shouldn't take them for granted because they do take a pretty picture.
