Pure Sunshine {Sydney Children’s Photographer}

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 02:36:04 +0000

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…

Model Call for Newborns {Baby Photography, Sydney}

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:29:00 +0000

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.

Madison {Family Photographer, Sydney}

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.

A day with Allegra {Sydney Children’s Photographer}

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:26:50 +0000

When Kate first contacted me to ask me to do a “Day in the Life” session with her little girl, Allegra, I was excited. This is something I had been wanting to try for a while but had never had a client request it before. Not only that, Kate spoke such beautiful words about how much she values photography and wants to capture every moment as Allegra is growing up so quickly. Here was a woman after my own heart! Kate wanted to capture all of Allegra’s daily activities and favourites things to do including dancing, talking on the phone, trying on shoes, taking a bubble bath, eating and playing outside. So with the help of Kate’s magnificent supply of gorgeous outfits for Allegra and her fabulous attention to detail, we did just that. These images are going to be used by Kate to create a special surprise for her husband’s upcoming birthday. She assures me he doesn’t spend his time looking at photography blogs so it was ok to post some of the images here!

Allegra has such a sweet personality, she was so much fun and full of energy. This is a big sneak peek as I spent most of the day with her…..

Kate, thank you so much for asking me to do document this stage in Allegra’s life!

Alex & Jessica {Sydney Family Photography}

Here is a sneak peek from my session with a lovely family I met on the weekend. Little Alex was so adorable and at my favourite age for photographing babies (in the 6 to 12 month age range). And he was just so easy going throughout the whole session! Big sister Jessica wasn’t too thrilled about having her photos taken at first but as you can see from the images below, she soon got over that and started to enjoy herself. I think she liked that lollipop I gave her a bit too much, it didn’t leave her hand for the rest of the session

Louise & Darren, it was great to meet you. Don’t worry, we got some great shots…. there are a lot more to show you in your gallery!
