next years waiting list

I am pretty close to booking you all in for next year! It looks like the shoot days will be mostly Mondays and Tuesdays in 2012. The emails should get sent out to you all the week starting the 19th of December. I just have to get all these Christmas orders done first then put the finishing touches on the price lists for next year.

 Speaking of which, the cut off for ordering is next Thursday the 8th. I will be away the Friday the 9th and the ordes will get processed first thing Monday morning. This will be the final order for this year and all orders placed next year will be on the new price list.

della { almost two years old }

 

Its funny how things work out sometimes. We were pretty much at the end of the shoot when Della spotted a basket of apples in the studio, leftover from another shoot. Have you tried to tell a two year old that they cant eat an apple because its a photo prop? So she ate an apple and I took photos, and we played apple bowling and I took more photos, and then there was some more apple tasting. And they ended up being some of my favourites from the session.

five gorgeous girls

I have photographed Milla & Asha a couple of times, and they just rock the camera, then Isla came along, a little peaches and cream baby girl, and then the twins, Eva and Jaya. Look at those little faces. There is an abundance of gorgeousness here.

ellie { sixteen months old }

 I nearly fell over when I saw Ellie, the last time i photographed her she was a tiny little newborn all wrapped up in mummys scarf.( See the pic below for a flash back! ) She was bery busy but they all are at that age, and she absolutely loved playing peek-a-boo behind the netting "cubby house".

cut off dates

Print orders must be received by Thursday the 8th of December to be back in time for Christmas.

Orders for blocks must be received by the first of December.

jasper { seven months old }

Jasper has this way of smiling, he fully commits to it. Its just so cute. Towards the end he got a bit tired and would just look up with his big sweet eyes.

Have you heard of Pinterest? Its a place where you pin things of interest, hence the name. Kind of like a virtual mood board. Each image pinned is tracked back to where it came from, so you always know the source of the images. So inspring ( and a great time waster! ). I have a board that i stick any ideas i can find for displaying photographs and art, and when I can i will randomly blog some here, but go and check out Pinterest if you need more inspiration.

lulu

Where does the time go? Feels like i only just did Lulu's newborn session in my vintage pram, and now she is sitting up all by herself. And big sister Indi is so grown up now!

kilarny { fourteen months old }

There is a park just around the block from the studio, I walk the dog there sometimes, so when Kilarny bought her old trike to the shoot, all decked out in red, I thought it might look good to do a few shots outside before we went to the studio. She was such a smiley girl and loved sitting up on the trike!

madeline { eight months old }

Doesnt she look sweet in her ruffle bloomers?

little sneak peak { apple juice! } a location shoot

I cant post the rest of this session yet, cause I havent edited it, and there are another dozen or so sessions in front of it. But I had to post a little sneak peek!

Sweetness!

jade { twenty five weeks old }

These apples were left over from a photo shoot I did ( wait till you see it, its lovely! ) so i grabbed jade and popped her on the floor of the studio for a quick session. I just happened to pick this cute little onesie up from Myer. I swear, it was a fluke it had apples on it! Ok, maybe it wasnt a total fluke. She was the happiest little thing in my office, then when we went into the studio I couldnt get a smile out of her. She's still cute though.

{ Hugs to the lovely Katie from 7 Lil Girlswho dropped some lovely headbands off for me to use, I am in love with them, and I added the green polka dot one Jade is wearing to my collection. )

molly & harry { at the old church }

I went for a drive to visit the family of Molly and Harry, and they have an old church in their backyard. ( I so want one of those! ) They were celebrating a birthday so we did a whole family session while the wind whispered through the trees, promising birthday cake to all those who were good.

cheyenne { sweet like orange juice }

Had so much fun styling this shoot, I even made the dress. Unfortunately about twenty minutes into the session i got a phone call from home, evidently my daughter was in hysterics and Daddy needed help, so I didnt quite get to finish the session off. Which means I get to do the rest later, but I might have to style a totally different one now, because I bought a red pettiskirt I want to use.
