Thanks for visiting! So a blog you ask? Yep. I'm a blogger from way back. I simply can't do without one so it goes without saying that I have to have one solely dedicated to my love of photography!
Here's some insight into the reason behind my love of photography in case you're wondering as people often do. Aside from an outlet for my creative juices I guess what I love most about photography is the moment it freezes in time. Literally, a moment captured that otherwise could never be relived. A moment in time. A smirk. A smile. A frown. A tear. A kiss or a cuddle. Laughter. Life. Forever frozen...
Make sure you drop by from time to time. You'll see my latest news (including products and specials), some neat sneak peaks from all my recent sessions, information about custom photography and it goes with out saying, you'll also see lots of photos of my children because, shucks, I just love them so much and can't help but snap them constantly!
Before I go...always remember, don't-ever-forget the simple things and the memories they create.
Enjoy...I know I say it everytime but geez I love newborns.
I mean seriously, what’s not to love about them. They’re so pure and they smell amazing - nothing like baby smell.
Little Miss Alivia was 2 weeks old at our little session. She was over 9lbs born and quite long so she was bursting out of the ‘newborn’ stakes. Still tiny though. A delightful little poppet and very well behaved!
I’m doing photographic sessions for everyone else these days that I never really get to do a ‘session’ with my kids. I mean I get lots of shots here and there but nothing more then a few.
I set out the other day with the view to getting some great shots of *my* kids. I wanted some great portraits for my big, blank, boring white wall.
In the end I was so pleased with how they turned out but at the time my Lily just didn’t want a bar of the camera and my little treats weren’t as successful as I would have hoped. It turns out the few shots I did get were pretty much what I was after so I was thankful.
I plan on getting three big canvases (two 20×30″ and one 20″x20″) – one of Lily, one of Byron and one of them together. I bet you can’t guess which ones - hint! hint! Help me out - especially with the pictures of Byron. I can’t decide between one and three. I am definitely getting number two of Lily and the laughing shot of my two cherubs. I can’t wait to order them.
There is nothing like a beautiful big canvas of your own little pumpkins…they really are stunning!
So, I’m excited…finally, I’ll have something less blank to stare at. How very exciting.
I’ll be sure to share when they’re hanging on my wall!
This was such a wonderful session. Wonderful little lad. Wonderful parents. Wonderful location and wonderful day. It was very enjoyable indeed. I wish I could have pulled out my towel and had myself a little sunbake the sun was so lovely - that would have made it perfect! Oh well…perhaps next time hey?!
This little guy has the most amazing blue eyes and they were so much fun to capture. Mum and dad were up for anything too which made things intereseting. Here is a sneak peak of the session. Probably my favourite shot of the day is mum, dad and little master in the middle having a good ol’ swing. Reminds me to just have fun!!!
You met the gorgeous miss Sunday the other day. Well, here are her just as cute siblings!
These kids were pretty much up for anything which always makes for a fun session. We got lots of variety. Here is a sneak peak of just a few (ok maybe not a *few* but how’s a girl supposed to pick when there were so many gorgeous shots!)?!.
Isn’t she the cutest little thing?! Her cheeks are so kissable it’s not funny! This little miss was 4 weeks old and oh so strong with her little neck muscles. I’ll never tire of newborns - they are surely the most sweetest things ever…and little Miss Sunday is right up there at the top of that list.
Sunday’s session (how ironic) was one of my busiest yet. Along with Sunday, there were 3 other siblings (I’ll post a sneak peak for them in the next few days) aged 7, 5 and 2. It was one of those sessions where there was so much to shoot and what felt like so little time. I had super fun though and I captured so many great shots that it was hard to figure out where to start - so Sunday it was.
I had the most amazing experience this past weekend. I got to photograph a gorgeous pregnant girl up on the sand dunes - wind blowing, sun setting. It was truly magical. I can’t wait to do it again!
I had the opportunity to photograph some adorable little sisters. Oh my they were beautiful and so, so easy to photograph. Older kids are such a breath of fresh air in so many ways. We were on location on a rural property which made for a lovely change too.
So fun.
A very special happy birthday to my darling Lily who turned 2 today. Sigh. She is growing up so very quickly.
Lily got her very first tea set, amongst other things, and so we all sat down on the family room floor (including daddy) for our very first tea party. She was delighted (and so was I!).
Oh my gosh, this little guy was such a scrumptious little sausage - I could have ate him all up! He was 4 weeks old - a little past the new newborn stage but oh so fun to shoot. I really had such a great time at this session and I have to admit that one of the shots that came out of this session would have to rank up there with my all time favourites. Mum was just beautiful and the shot of her with her darling son is, well, stunning if I do say so myself. Now…if I only I could get one of them for myself - I guess I need to have myself a newborn first huh?!
When I was in Adelaide just recently I had a session with Master H (and his teddy bear). There were so many beautiful locations everywhere you turned that it was hard to pick a spot. We settled for some cows and a dirt road. I thought a ‘country feel’ would suit this little guy.
It was a fun session especially with the cows mooing like crazy at Master H and him running as fast as he could up the road. It was hard to keep up and I’m glad he sat down for a rest!
