You may remember Allegra from her recent “Day in the Life” session. Well her Mum, Kate, was thrilled with the results of the session and wanted to get even more shots for this secret project she is working on as a surprise for her husband. So I happily agreed to spend another afternoon with Allegra having fun at her local park and enjoying a tea party.
I think I was destined to meet Kate as we seem to be on the same wavelength with all things photography. Also, I didn’t mention this before but when I arrived at Kate’s house for the first time I had this feeling of deja vu rush over me. Ten years ago my husband and I had some ballroom dance lessons in preparation for our wedding. Well the lessons were held in a studio in Kate’s house where the previous owners held dance lessons. Kate and her husband purchased the house soon after. What a coincidence is that?
Lets just say that Allegra LOVES cupcakes, I lost count of how many times she said “Cake!” during the session
Although, she did not appreciate the big lollipop her Mum had for her, that got tossed in the dirt! Allegra has such a big personality and a great sense of humour. She is pure sunshine…

I now have a great natural light studio space that is perfect for photographing one of my favourite subjects – newborns. I have many creative ideas I would like to try and am looking for newborn models due to arrive from late July to September. Models must be between 3 and 10 days of age when photographed so you will need to contact me while you are still pregnant so I can pencil you into my schedule. Sessions would be complimentary and each model will also receive two beautifully matted 8×10″ prints. Sessions would be held in my studio located in the Hills District of Sydney. If you are interested in more details, please email me at info@amandaayling.com.au.

I am editing Madison’s portraits and thought I would post a couple more shots of her in this gorgeous Tea Princess dress…..


Here is a sneak peek from my session with Madison and her parents. You may have seen Madison on my blog before when she modelled for a commercial shoot here. Her Mum, Sarah, is the very talented & creative owner of children’s clothing label Madi & Me. After doing a commercial shoot for her last year, it was time for some family portraits. For such a petite little girl, Madison has a big personality and she certainly has Mum & Dad wrapped around her little finger
But who could resist this beautiful face? She has the most mesmerising eyes and perfect lips….

You would never know from these images that Madison was a bit tired & cranky on the day of her session…..



Sarah & Luke, thank you for asking me to capture these portraits for you. It really was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you.
