2011 Review…What an amazing year

Skye Nestler — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 01:20:28 +0000

What a year it has been for me and my business. I moved house at the beginning of the year, which I was nervous about, however Lily and I have found our niche back in civilisation and completely loving being close to almost everything. We had a visit from my sister from England and she brought with her her boyfriend who was able to experience a wonderfully warm August, infact it was warmer weather I think than what we are having now! I donned the front cover of a magazine!! This was a huge moment for me! And Jaimee and Ryan with their gorgeous wedding became the signature image of Skye Photography. Photographically, I have found myself. I have had some amazing brides and grooms, fun engagement shoots and my fair share of newborns wee and spew on me. All of which I have loved every second. I am continuing my journey with photography learning from anything and anyone who is willing to share. What is it I love about this job? ( and I use the word job ever so loosely as it doesnt feel like a “job”). I love the energy of weddings, the happiness, the love, the gorgeous little details. Newborn and family shoots are a different kind of love, the connection between families is always something special to be able to capture and make into everlasting images. But it is the words and happiness that comes when people first view their images. I have enjoyed every second, thankyou to all my wonderful clients for allowing me to be part of your special days and special moments that you will now cherish forever. A special thankyou to my Mum and Dad and my wonderful friends Bek and Sara, for continually encouraging and believing in me and making me strive for excellence in this field which I love. To all my Facebook followers and friends your kind words on all my posts really mean the world to me, and thankyou.

So here is my Body Of Work for 2011. I hope you enjoy, its always nice to go back and look at how much I have grown and remember all of the fun times I have had on location with awesome people. Thankyou again for being part of Skye Photography.

Welcome to the world little Nate. Every newborn session is special, however this would have to be the first one that I have achieved a little smile. It totally melted my heart. SO cute. Congratulations to the Allens on the arrival of their new bubba.

This family is a special family for me, as these new parents are the ones whose faces I proudly had on the cover of Highlife Bride. Congratulations on the arrival of your little man. After a bit of an unsettled start, Taavi finally relaxed ( and yes we know how ) and some special family shots were able to happen. Hope you enjoy.xx

I cherish the moments that I am able to achieve for my clients. After this session it really hit me how much I love what I do. I spent the morning with a lovely family, we talked the entire time as if we already knew each other, as we waited for Jacob to fall asleep. Of course it is never easy….but he eventually got there allowing me to get the cute skin sleepy pics that we all love so much. It really is an honour to be invited into peoples home to capture such intimate feelings within the family.

What a delight it was to spend time with this little girl. She didn’t winge at all the entire time I was in front of her with my big black camera, no smiles, but continual glances straight into my lens. After the shoot was over we had a special little chat, where she did what babies do best, drooled all over my arm and then kept brilliant eye contact while she gooed and gaaaad to me. I was delighted at how she took to me. She made me seriously clucky…..I mean come on look at those eyes and that stunning hair. (I love red hair)

I haven’t been able to stop working on these images since the shoot on Thursday. This little man has had my undivided attention. There is something about Newborns in their bare skin, shot in black and white that makes my heart skip a beat. This special newbie stage lasts for all of 3-4 weeks. It was one of my favourite times so far as a Mother. The cuddles, the bonding and just staring as the hours pass at how wonderfully cute these little cherubs are. Hope you enjoy the upload overload, but I just have to share the cuteness. xx

Last weekend I met two little twin boys, whose sister Claudia was featured earlier on my blog. Julian and Nathan usually only sleep for about an hour, but on this day, they wanted to continue sleeping. I did a shoot for their big sister, and then finally they awoke. Trying to get these two boys to sit together was hard, they are on the move and go go go!!!! A few quick shots with Mum and Dad jumping around and singing ( I need to take a video camera for parents to look back and laugh I think) Lucky we all knew the words to Iggle Piggle’s song. Hope you guys like your sneak peek, your slideshow will be ready in the next few days.xx

Welcome To The World | Sydney Newborn Photographer

Skye Nestler — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 11:35:49 +0000

Today I had a wonderful time with this family. A & M have just welcomed Mr Charlie into the world. He was a delight. At 3 weeks he is certainly fitting into the busy household with his adoring brother and sister, not to mention Mum and Dad!!!! He wasn’t really into the photos being taken out in the lounge room with the family, so off to the bedroom for some settling and off he drifted. I had planned in my head and worked out how to get that shot I have wanted for so long of the baby with his chin in his hands, but this little man is so strong!!!! I tried moving those hands up under his face and the resistance was amazing. But you know what with how cute some of the shots are, Im not worried. He is just divine. Looking through todays shoot the words “So Cute” have been in full force!!! Its moments that I am able to get like this that make this job so rewarding. More of this little guy and his family to come…..

What a pleasure it was to meet this family, and especially little R, who has the most perfect baby skin you have ever seen! This shoot seemed to fly by as R played up to the camera quite a bit, looking straight at me at times. Such a happy baby and very delighted parents who are just in awe of him. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, your slide show will be ready soon.
