We had a second shoot with my sister while she was here, and this time Sandra decided to bare all. Well, why not? This is an amazing time of her life and might be her last pregnancy….so let’s celebrate!
Here she is, just so amazing….in so many ways!
It’s the same old question over and over when you are pregnant “do you know what you are having”…..followed by the parents thinking “a human you twit!”. Heidi and David don’t know the sex of their soon to arrive baby, but apparently David has a strong feeling. I can’t wait to see if he is on the money 
Personally I don’t try to guess as I always seem to be incorrect.
We met yesterday on a very showery sort of day at this farm/rustic location. I love doing outdoor maternity shoots, a lot of fun…even in the mud *yikes* Heidi was such a trooper and a wonderful pregnant model!
Looking forward to a great surprise soon guys x
What can be more exciting then awaiting the birth of your first baby? That feeling of not knowing what being a parent will feel like, the anticipation of seeing who your child looks like…*sigh* just such an awesome time all round. And I have to say for each and every baby too!
The stunning Ian and Leeanne have only a few weeks left to answer all the above, and I am so excited to see their baby soon too! Here are a few of their images from today, what a beautiful family to be!
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!
Wow! What a beautiful bump, what a beautiful bump and what a beautiful afternoon!
Today was N and C’s maternity session, the afternoon was glorious and the time at the beach was fantastic! I am sure you will see from these images that little baby R is bound to be a cutie who happily snuggles up to Mummy and Daddy!
I can’t wait to hear the arrival news from you guys soon! Enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy, and see the 3 of you again soon x
Today it was {finally} time to meet beautiful little C! She was a touch past her “due date” which had her Mummy playing the waiting game and myself bursting to meet and photograph her! C wasn’t wanting to play for the first part of her shoot, but then after some warm, perfect milk there was no turning back. She was an absolute pleasure to photograph today!
Although newborns can be unpredictable and take a while to settle and pose the outcome is absolutely worth it!! C was 8 days – which is in the “prime” time I love of 6-10 days!! N, thank you so very much for being totally open to the poses and for enjoying your morning tea while I “played” with C. Hoping you feel it was really worth it! Can’t wait to meet up again soon!
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:
Today is raining, overcast and a *perfect* day for a nice looong nap! I am so glad that baby A thought the same (though apparently I heard last night there wasn’t so much sleeping going on!). I love babies at this age 7-10 days is the prime time for these types of shoots.
And it seems I might have a tag line: “Susan Wall – Photographer of the most beautiful and soulful families in town!”. T and R watching you as a family was beautiful, your love for little A is a gift! I can’t wait to see you again soon!
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 
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
