sophia's baptism

Sophia just gets cuter every time i see her. I had the honour of shooting her baptism and meeting all her family.

billy { six months old }

I first met Billy when he was just a little bump in his mummy's tummy. So i guess this was his third visit to the studio for some photo lovin'. And snuggles from me. He was so sweet and smiley. My heart was a big puddle of mush by the end of the shoot.

sadie + ava { two gorgeous girls }

I am completely and utterly in love with these images.
They make me happy. A happy photographer.

lucy { one year old }

I cant believe how quick they grow and change in the first year. It seems like just last month I was doing her baby shoot, and now she is walking around and eating cupcakes. One year old already. Sigh... another of my litte babies, growing up.

( And hugs to the fabulous Cindy for finding and delivering the suitcase in the above photos! She saw it and thought it would go great in my studio so grabbed it for me. She is a rock star! )

sylvia + chris { the country session }

This is the second installment in Sylvia and Chris's engagement shoot. We went for a drive out of town and had a stroll around to get some great shots. These two are so sweet with each other.

charlotte { ten months old }

Charlotte's family has moved a long ways away, but they had to travel back for a wedding. On the way they swung by the studio so i could get some shots of Charlotte, as her big brother did when he was the same age. She looked like a princess in a pettiskirt, and thoroughly enjoyed attacking a mud cake. Although her big brother did help her out with that. Just a little bit.

sylvia + chris { engagement shoot }

Mellow yellow?

I love shooting engagement sessions. They are like play time for me. No schedules, no shoot list, just a couple in love and a wide choice of locations. We started off with some urban backdrops, and then went out of town for come country style to finish off, but I am going to give those images their own blog post.

Sylvia and Chris are getting married in Albury in January, and I cant wait to shoot their wedding. They have already said they dont want to use the 'traditional' locations, so i jumping and up and down with excitement to see what they come up with.

“If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.”

marley { twelve weeks old }

Marley is just a cute little poppet and much loved by her mummy and daddy.

billy { four weeks old }

Little Billy even gave me some little smiles! Isnt he a sweetie?

rhylan { five months old }

Rhylan was just learning to sit up when he came to visit me. Love those little toes!

liz and ian

Liz and Ian decided to get some shots done for their Mum for Chrsitmas. Or rather Liz decided to get the shots done and bribed Ian with a packet of skittles to come along to the shoot and behave himself. We had all kinds of interesting things on our location shoot, from rabid dogs and crazy old men to punks on push bikes and all kind of gross substances that I wont go into. They still rocked the camera, although they are probably still wondering what they got themselves into!

the crazy season

Poor blog, i have neglected you of late. If it makes you feel better, you are not the only thing thats been neglected. Things like laundry and shaving my legs have also been put aside to deal with the crazy amount of work I have on at the moment. And excercise. And walking the poor dog.

Thanks to everyone for being soooo patient as i slog my way through the most shoots i have ever done in my life! I do have some great posts coming up, I have done some fantastic shoots lately, met some beautiful kids, snuggled adorable babies and laughed a lot.

the wedding of kandie and luke

Kandie and Luke celebrated their wedding with a ceremony at St. Michaels, followed by a reception at the Country Club.
