My word, this little princess was *amazing* today. She came over, and only needed one nice, big feed to be totally milk drunk. From then on she was nothing short of a superstar! Her beautiful and so connected Mum and Dad were just as amazing. Calm, relaxed parents just make things so smooth and easy when it comes to tiny people. I loved hearing their excitement and their love as a new, extended family! Sweet!!
Little P is perfect, and just a miracle.

How adorable are these two? Each time I do a shoot I seriously get the cutest little people (and big people too now I think of it!). So many beautiful, sweet and loving young families around I am so happy and thankful that they trust me with their images.
I love this shoot. We started at my “farm” location, and then ran to the beach. Keeps the children excited and also gives A and L some different looks within one shoot. By the end of this shoot I was content, knowing I had some beautiful images to share. Here are a couple for now:

Today the rain stopped and the lovely fresh light came to greet us! The beach go-ers were all excited, and we joined them!

Children love going to the beach, the little boys run like crazy and jump through the sand (eating it along the way!) and little girls twirl and dream…..well this beautiful little doll had trouble just walking on the sand! Z turned 1 just yesterday – how special is that?

It was great to share the afternoon with this sweet little family.

Today I had the sweetest and warmest feelings. A new little man, born into a loving family and held by parents that adore him. To hear M talk about her little man and ooze love was just a stunning thing to see. Babies are miracles. Each and every one of them. You may remember M’s amazing bump here

He was so happy to be posed and didn’t seem to make too much fuss once he was comfortable again. It was wonderful! M and M, looking forward to seeing you soon!

That was what we had today. Three beautiful, lively and sweet little girls, who got 5 lollies each for being so great on their photo shoot. All taken at their property – a stunning location! And you know what I like best of all? When they put their prints on their walls it will be their house in the background, the river they swim in – right there on the wall. Can’t be much more personal then that!

The girls were so welcoming, and even showed me where the toilet was LOL I was even invited back tomorrow – isn’t that just SO adorable? And best of all little Y called me a “girl” and not a lady….she did forget my name, but I can handle that. Girl is good by me :)

Loved this shoot, was just awesome!

Saturday night was the break up dinner for the Bundaberg Photographic Group (BPG) Each year we get together and see what images are going to be the winners of the year. As I have been so very busy (said with a happy voice) I haven’t been for a while. Work had to come first. If you are in the local Bundaberg Region and like photography you really should try and come one Monday evening!

I made it to the dinner (Thai Tulips – a fave of mine!), and had a great time out. I also received first place for this image:

I have been getting some great news from clients who have been anxiously waiting the births of their babies. So be sure to check in for lots of precious, new little people!
And a final announcement: I am now fully booked until 2010. Please let me know if you are wanting a session before Feb 2010 as I only have limited spaces. Christmas and school holidays are just around the corner! Lots to do before then, but all wonderful things! Take care x

This afternoon at the beach was glorious. The sun was warm, the breeze was cooling everything down and the atmosphere was good old plain relaxing! We have so many, many beaches around here, I hadn’t really seen the beauty at this beach until today. This family are big rock climbers and rock pool explorers, so the rocks were a great place to start our session.
You know what I love about taking photographs? You really do share a moment with the subject. Each time I look at anyimage I have ever taken it is like I go back to that moment. That feeling, that moment and that experience. A client recently said to me that having a session was quite intimate and personal, and he was surprised. It is true, I get to follow your family, see how you interact and catch this all through my lens. Oh I love this job!
Watching this family today was really sweet. B is a really caring, fun and enthusiastic Mum, and the kids really were connected to her and they had fun together. How great!! Fun at the beach on a lazy Sunday afternoon – beautiful! Here are a few images to share with you all:

Ok, what is going on? There is a boom happening as I am photographing many beautiful bumps of late! And I am super excited as followed by the bumps is a more beautiful little person. Something to celebrate and rejoice in don’t you think?
To have a baby is something that is a miracle, and something that I love to be part of. Your little baby is only tiny, squashy and fluffy for a few very short weeks!! So getting beautiful images at this time is such an awesome idea.

Yesterday S had her formal/prom. And today we had the opportunity to get her dressed up once again to take some images. Why do I do it this way? For time and less stress reasons. I like being able to take photographs at the best time of day (last hour before sunset), and I also like to not have a young girl so anxious and emotional about her formal night that her images don’t look relaxed. T (aka Mum) thought this sounded like a great plan as we could go to the beach and also get grandparents involved in the shoot. It was a wonderful afternoon. S looked just like a princess in her amazing gown – it was such a pretty colour!

S is one loved and supported girl. She was cheered on by Mum, Dad, brother, boyfriend and 2 grandmothers. All very sweet!

This afternoon after a nice, warm day it was beautiful at the beach. The breeze was blowing and the water was so inviting to look at. I went to the beach to photograph J, J and their puppy J :) It was a great way to end the day, and a lot of fun. J (the puppy) has some very individual games that’s for sure! And goodness me that dog can jump small buildings I swear!
Here is a sneak peak, being a recent dog owner for the first time I understand how a puppy is part of the family and it is a great idea to include them in your shoot!
