(Bev) Exec Support/Administration, Author, Editor and Publisher – I grew up in a suburban country-style area and my parents divorced when I was young so I was in an all female home. We moved to Adelaide city in my early teens and I attended Business College prior to working in the corporate arena. I met my life partner, Graham, who is from a business farming background and there were a lot of challenges in learning to communicate in a male personal relationship. The path to co-authoring our website and eBooks with Graham has (to my surprise) been all my life but focused with our website to share stories with humour to encourage and inspire people. My motivation is an image of a person on a train or bus travelling home after a busy day or quietly sitting reading our book, a smile lights their face and Graham’s wonderful photos of the beauty of nature offer peace and hope for their dreams and their future.
(Graham) Businessman, Photographer, Author and Co-Publisher – I grew up in a country area with a business farming background in vineyards, cattle and earthmoving. I’ve worked outdoors around nature and wildlife on a daily basis all my life and, together with a love of the ocean from spearfishing and snorkeling in my teens and after moving to the Gold Coast with their world class local beaches, this was all of an advantage when I picked up a camera to capture ‘moments’ I saw in the early morning sunrises and evening sunsets. Birds seem to ‘fly’ in front of my camera to have their photo taken – some knocking off my cap! There is a peace often found only in the beauty in trees and flowers and the interaction of wildlife with birds living their daily lives which has inspired me to offer these one of a kind ‘a moment in time’ opportunities only there for a few seconds before the moment is gone forever.
In August 2019 we returned to our hometown of Blewitt Springs on the Fleurieu Peninsula and are excited to be part of our local community and embracing our unique South Australian farm and vineyard heritage.
Leave your Mark … our enduring worth
The only thing of enduring worth we leave behind when we pass out of this life is the mark of value we deposit in the hearts and minds of people –
the watching children;
our colleagues and partners – both men and women;
and the sons and daughters who are so courageous in their fight to assume the mantle of who they wish to become and in the struggle to be heard.
For every little heart that is healed, it is a gift to God.
