Hello readers new and not so new!
This week I am so thrilled to have my photography featured on decor8 and I’m guest posting over on sfgirlbybay! Thank you Holly and Victoria for having me on your beautiful blogs. I’d very much appreciate some love over on sfgirlbybay if you want to stop by and check out my post on village life that is up today.
I also wanted to say hello to any new readers who are stopping by via sfgirlbybay and decor8. It is so lovely to have you here. For the new readers and as a reminder to our lovely regulars, I’d like to point out a few features on the blog. You can find favourite posts over in the right sidebar, along with all the links on where to subscribe via RSS or email.
If you want to find out more about Mocking Bird and a little about me, check out the ‘about’ page.
I run 2 regular features called What’s In Your Kit? and Wandering Neighbourhoods. ‘What’s In Your Kit?’ is an interview series with some amazing photographers and I’ve got some great ones lined up in the next few weeks. Wandering Neighbourhoods is a photography feature where I take a little trip around neighbourhoods with my camera.
I’ve also recently announced that I will be running an online photography workshop called Shoot By Design: Refining Your Photography Style in the coming months. Check out the course page for more info.
It is so lovely to have you here. Please feel free to leave a comment and join in the conversation. Welcome to our little pocket of the universe!

Hi Amanda
I discovered your blog via Holly’s mention the other day…and I’m so looking forward to reading more of your blog posts and learning about photography.
I only got a digital SLR camera (Canon EOS 500D) at Christmas. Have taken a 3 day beginner’s photography course and am now doing an evening class which runs for 10 weeks…which I love!
Very best wishes
Rona
