Just letting everybody know that I will be on annual leave until the 24th January 2011. All emails and phone calls will be returned after this date.

Things have been a bit quiet on my blog as I have taken a much needed break to spend some quality time with my family. My baby girl starts school this year and I wanted to cherish these last few weeks before Kindergarten starts. I can’t believe how quickly my girls are growing up! One of my New Year’s resolutions is to take more photographs of them, capturing some of the everyday moments as well as the special milestones.

I am looking forward to photographing many more families in 2011. I have some exciting changes planned for my business that I will reveal over the coming months.

As no post is complete without a photo, here is one of my favourites from a recent newborn session…

Another beautiful newborn with a beautiful name. At only 6 days old and just over 6 pounds, little Holly was surprisingly very keen on staying awake but she was no match for my patience….

And a shot of gorgeous big sister Ava….

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.

Here is a sneak peek of some commercial photography I am working on for Princess Ratbag. I love using my girls as models for commercial photography assignments as it is a good excuse to take some more shots of my two favourite subjects! It is also nice to open up a glossy mag and see a beautiful photograph of one of my girls in there, something to keep for them when they are older. Princess Ratbag make the most gorgeous pettiskirts made with layers of luxurious fabric and ribbon. I have a collection of these pettiskirts available for client sessions. More images to follow later in the week…

I found a willing little model today, eager to have her new sparkly red shoes photographed (for all of five minutes). I cannot tell you how much joy these shoes have given Amelie. They have barely left her feet since we bought them last weekend!

And of course I couldn’t forget my ever willing model (within reason) who is growing up so very fast….

My girls are the reason why I developed my hobby of photography into a business. They help me find the inspiration and passion I have for my work everyday.

I am now back into the swing of things after an enjoyable Xmas break! I had my first session a few days ago with this lovely family in a beautiful Aussie bush location. I have met this family through Amelie’s preschool so it was great to start off the session on some familiar ground. Now, I often get asked by my clients, what should we wear? Well I have an example for you as this Mum did a great job choosing outfits. Coordinated but not “matching” with no bold clashing patterns is the key……and don’t they make such a beautiful family?

This last image is one of my favourites from the session…..

I spent a lovely afternoon in the company of this beautiful family on the weekend. Alannah is a very sweet little girl and I loved getting to know her. After spending time with her parents, I can tell where she gets her personality from as they are two of the warmest, friendliest and most relaxed clients I have ever had!

Alannah kept herself very busy, blowing kisses, playing with rose petals & hanging out with Mum & Dad.

And I just had to get some shots of this beautiful couple….

Leonie & Simon, thank you for choosing me to capture these memories for you. Looking at your images puts a big smile on my face Enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch shortly when your full gallery is ready.
