STA Explorer Samantha has posted on Christmas in Melbourne and her own hectic start to the festive season in arguably the most hip city in Oz.

Samantha, or Fashionably Melbourne as we like to call her, has been making her way in the world of photography, and the arrival of Christmas has seen a few extra opportunities for our £10 Pom, notably more studio time,

“I’ve been doing more shifts in glow studios as Tess is quite busy with other photography work at the moment so I’m covering some of her days, sure the cash will come in handy sending all those presents home to England!”

I’m sure the recipients of the presents will be more than appreciative. Samantha has also been to couple of photography expo’s, one of which ended with ‘after party beers’, something that is rarely a bad thing.

There was also a house warming/birthday party at Samantha’s and what sounds like an excellent, and very glamorous, Christmas party. You can read all about it at Samantha Kate Jourdan – A Photographic Journal.
