The sweetest little bump! {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Maternity Photographer}

Susan Wall — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:02:55 +0000

I have photographed quite a number of bumps, and what I love about each and every one of them is that they are all so different!

Today photographing M and M’s bump I realised how cute this little one was! I mean M is 36 weeks, and looks *amazing*!!! It was a great way to kick off the week, and I am really excited to meet their new bundle in a very few, short weeks! All the best guys, see you soon!

1 beautiful girl, 1 amazing (as in mind blowingly amazing) dress and one fashion shoot!! {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Fashion Photographer}

Susan Wall — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:17:10 +0000

Monday I received a call from Suri Creations asking if I could do a fashion shoot with a very short time frame. Luckily I was going to be going to a fun shoot (something I like to do from time to time for me!) and I had a model and another photographer who were ready to go anyways.

We went to a wonderful, rustic creation with our model (Ryley is also a great emerging photographer), an amazing gown and the designers. It was all systems are go. It was such a fun afternoon and something I would really adore to do again. So if you are a business out there wanting some fashion shots that stand out be sure to give me a call!

This gown was hand made, completely. Suri Creations spin the fleece and then hand crochet the gown together. These are one off gowns, and something that certainly will see a bride stand out from the crowd. From a photographer point of view, they are such a flattering, elegant and unique dress to photograph. Also very practical for some different sort of fashion like shots. Oh how I loved it!!

Anyway, thought I would share a few of the images (and will update you once I know what image makes the magazine):

Winter Offer 2009 {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Photographer}

Susan Wall — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 22:58:09 +0000

Winter Special 2009

Winter has definitely hit our region in the past few days, hasn’t it? The scarves and jackets are out and we are looking for warm spots in the sun with cups of tea (or is that just me?).

Sometimes winter can be overlooked as a time to get photographs taken. Winter is actually a great time of year as the light is so soft and warm in the late afternoon. It also means if you have little people that you don’t have to be home too late for dinner and a warm bath before bed. Most sessions in winter are from 4-5 or 5:30pm.

Locations? Think about an urban shot, the rustic setting of horse stables or a sheltered park with big trees.

Scarves, beanies and cute jackets are all the go for your winter session and really do photograph so well with some nice jeans!

Sound enticing? How about this offer? Limited sessions available. Please feel free to forward this to your friends who have been talking about a session for a while now!

1 hour session

1 – 16’x20’ mounted image

4 – 8 x 12 prints

All images professionally edited and printed

TOTAL OF ONLY $300

(valued at $440)

*session must be booked in before 1st August, with a $100 booking fee (taken from final package price).

Here is an example of an image I took this afternoon at a nearby paddock, perfect for a winter session!

Fairs and Glamour – sounds like hard work? {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Photographer}

Susan Wall — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:24:17 +0000

I wonder if any of you have seen me lately and not been up to say hello? The town of Bundaberg has been buzzing with a few things going on that I (and my family too!) have been part of. It started with our local show, this is something that we look forward to every year. A dagwood dog (to make you feel so sick!); show bags and fireworks. This year I entered the local photography section as I always do, and gained a 2nd in the “colour portrait” section. My girls also went ahead and entered the competition for the first time. They did very well with some highly commended and a 2nd for G. Here are a few shots:

I also had the opportunity to “woman” 2 stalls lately. The first being at our “Wedding and Formal Expo” in May, and the other at a wonderful evening held at the Bundaberg CitiCoast Church, it was called “Glamour” and was basically a night of fun, pamper and cake for women. It was so beautiful to see, and great to be part of! Be sure to try and go along next year ladies!! Here is my stall from the Expo:

Tenderness {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Wedding Photographer}

Susan Wall — Sun, 24 May 2009 10:36:58 +0000

Saturday was overloaded with tenderness. As looking at this lovely couple that was what I got to witness. The tenderness between two people, isn’t it amazing? Wedding days are so very exciting and such a marvellous event to witness. There were a lot of chuckles during the ceremony and lots of fun through out the day. H looked stunning in this gorgeous gown, and I had to stop myself from staring at the bridesmaids funky red shoes (I will get around to sharing them soon!).
M and H, thank you for the opportunity of sharing your day with you. And for being you!! I hope you have a wonderful time away, and chat upon your return.

The light was all but gone when we were blown away with this sunset! Such an awesome location!

Mothers' Day Pamper session announcement {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Photographer}

Susan Wall — Fri, 01 May 2009 06:55:22 +0000

Sorry for the delay – I had a lovely morning giggling my way through a viewing with a beautiful client and before we knew it, lunch time was upon us! What a great way to spend a Friday morning though! Thanks for the lovely time L!! Like I said yesterday the entries I got were so touching, and very beautiful. I wanted to share a few bits and pieces from the emails:

“I think its about time she got something for herself”

“my kids and my husband are my everything but I have to admit that for just an hour or so it would be nice if I was my everything”

“She brings love and joy to all around her and is constantly giving of herself to anyone in need”

“She is very loved especially by me!!!”

” I thought I would nominate her for this competition so that she knows I love her, I think she’s amazing and I think of her often even though we don’t catch up as much anymore”

“a beautiful, nuturing, gentle friend of mine.”

“for the wonderful way she supports us”

The winner is going to be one special Mum who actually received 2 entries. One from a friend, and one from her husband! He let me know that his wife is pregnant with their 3rd child and really does all that she can no matter what to look after her friends and family, above herself. So to “N” please look in your inbox for an email about your special photo shoot, and I look forward to seeing you in the near future!

I am very sad that the other amazing woman didn’t get a chance for a photo shoot, but I am sure once they hear how much those around them love and care for them they will feel loved! Thanks again for the entries and your on-going support!

All in!! {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Family Photographer}

Susan Wall — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:14:19 +0000

This was a shoot that I had been hanging out to do since I met Mum L. She was so fun, vibrant and lively – I knew it was going to be a fun session! And correct!!! It sure was, I had such a wonderful time with this family. I love it when my clients just get into it and enjoy themselves (even if they are feeling a bit shy). These guys were all so photogenic too – unbelievable…and I had a few fantastic assistants too by the way (all willing to help me out). I hope you guys enjoyed your dinner out, and all get home safely when the time comes (to those not living locally). Today was nothing short of a total pleasure!

A little reminder about the Mothers’ Day competition – still open until the 1st May, I have had some wonderful and beautiful entries to far!

Because all Mums need to feel appreciated {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Photographer}

Susan Wall — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:43:59 +0000

From my last post you may all understand why I have decided to give a gift to a very deserving Mum out there. Do you know a Mum that is a beautiful soul, and would love the chance to have a photo shoot? Do you know a Mum that works hard all the time (don’t we all!!) and deserves something fun and exciting to do?

This shoot could be one that you get to give to another woman out there that you admire, respect and love!

I am offering the following to one Mum/family:

1 complimentary photo session (1 hour)

1 complimentary 16×20 mounted image

TOTAL VALUE = $260

So, there are conditions right?

Yes there are, there always is. The photo shoot must be done during the month of June, 2009. The Mum must be nominated by someone – either a family member, friend or herself! The image for the mount is to be chosen by the Mum, with other prints available for purchase if she so wishes. The recipient is at the judges (Susan Wall’s) discretion, and her word is final. The photo shoot can be one for Mum only or one that she gets her family to be part of also.

How to nominate the amazing woman that you know?

Please leave a comment here, on the blog – letting me know you have visited. Then send an email in 100 words or less telling me about this special woman. Email to susan@susanwall.com.au

A Mothers’ Day surprise will be announced via email and on the blog to one lovely lady!! Entries close 1 May 2009

To finish off here are some beautiful Mums I have photographed over the past year or so (and one of my lovely girls and I too!):

Education Week {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Photographer}

Susan Wall — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:09:47 +0000

I have declared this to be “education week” my friends. Through out this coming week I would like to share some of the reasons why I do what I do. I will cover the following and more:

“But a 5×7 only cost $1 why do you charge $xx?”
“If I had a good camera I could take those photographs too”
“Why wall art, what is it?”
“Why should I pay more for a photographer, I can get it much cheaper down the road”
“You only have to own a camera and you are a successful photographer”

Why am I doing this I hear you all ask? I am doing this as I come across these questions from time to time and I have been wanting to educate you and potential clients about what is involved. Almost like an insight into the business of being a photographer. I don’t want to say *ever* that I have all the answers, I definitely have had to learn through some bad decisions!

I will kick this off tomorrow for you all, and hope that you come in daily to give me your feedback and opinions (and yep, each day I’ll share a new image!).
Happy weekend

Keeping an "I" on the new world {Susan Wall – Bundaberg Newborn Photographer}

Susan Wall — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:39:12 +0000

Today saw the arrival of my other “birth shoot” couples baby boy! Mr I was delivered by cesarean just before noon today! I was still able to get to meet I when he was only 1 hour old and enjoying his first tastes of milk. So very sweet and little. L and J, you are the most beautiful and sweet family, and I is one fortunate little guy to have such a loving family around him. I throughly enjoyed the time with you all today. See you next week
