Meet Cherrie
I love to travel and have been doing it since I was 17. I love polka dots. I love dresses. I love shoes. I love the colours purple and pink. I have been having a love affair with the American South for as long as I can remember and one of my favourite books is To Kill a Mockingbird. I looove coffee, but can’t really drink it because it presses my fast forward button. If you want to see me talk at warp speed, give me a white chocolate mocha. I’ll not only love you for it, I’ll love you for it in fast forward! I normally stick to tea, though.I love watching sci-fi shows. Nerd pride. I waited 28 years to find the love of my life and now that we’ve found each other I couldn’t imagine life without him and I can’t remember what it was like before him. I love hugs. I love to read. Photography, travel and history are my favourites, but I’m really not as boring as I sound. I read crime to be more exciting. I spell favourites with a ‘u’ because I am Australian even though it might look a little weird to people who use American English. I like to create new verbs out of existing words. Like right now, I am biographing myself. I also like mixing words, like Purplicious and Pinktacular! I like to name things. Like our car, it’s the ‘Enterprise’, or ‘Space Car’ because it’s so advanced everything is a button… just like I imagine things in the future would be. You want a white choc mocha? Easy, press a button! My camera is named ‘Henri’ after Cartier-Bresson, because I think it’s better than just plain old ‘Canon 5d’. I love animals, especially dogs and coo over them like most people do with babies. I also coo over babies. I love photography and I love weddings and I am blessed to be able to call my passion my profession.

The Golden Thread: Barking during a blizzard and a new logo

So, after getting into a punch up, yesterday with a dominant male in the park, I took B back to the park again, today. The snow outside wasn’t letting up so I decided to take the camera and have some fun, anyway. One of Bentley’s favourite things is to bark at sticks. Especially big ones before he chews them to pieces. I think he was working out a little extra frustration, this morning though, because he barked at… well… nothing. Just stood there with the stick at his feet, barking off into the snow. It sure made for some hilarious sequence shots.

Also, today I premiere a new part of Cherrie Coutts Photography. The Golden Thread. You all know The White Thread, which is the blog title I use for my weddings and portraits, but I felt that my animal photography needed its own logo. Thus, The Golden Thread was born. I didn’t want it to be too invasive, so it’s very meek, but it falls in line with my regular logo.
