Miss Holly | Southern Highlands Child and Family Photographer

I met little Holly last year for her newborn shoot. How she has grown into a beautiful little girl. I had a wonderful time playing amongst flowers and also watching Mum and Dad sing and dance to get Miss Holly to smile and laugh. It is always wonderful having clients come back to you to catch up and see how much their children have grown. Enjoy.xx

Mark and Mary-Frances…. | Sydney Lifestyle Photographer

Skye Nestler — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 06:24:24 +0000

What a way to start blogging for 2011. This shoot was in December and it has fast become one of my favourite shoots ever, with so many amazing images. Mark and Mary-Frances met online. But not on a dating site. On a music forum which Mark was the administrator. They began chatting about music to begin with, then what followed was phone calls lasting for hours. Meeting up wasnt so easy, as Mary-Frances is from Mississippi. So what did he do…..he put her on a plane and flew her over here. They have been together now for 6 years, happily married and with a gorgeous little man Matty. We spent what was the windiest afternoon (it was the day we all had gale force winds) by the shore in Abbotsford. And what I was able to capture I love, and both Mary-Frances and Mark enjoying the time to be able to cuddle and enjoy each other in front of the camera. Here are some of my favourites (yes there are a lot) but to see all of the session CLICK HERE, and of course enjoy the music (its like this song was made for you guys). Comments are welcome below!

And Happy New Year to ALL!!!!!

Fun by the sea | Sydney Family Photographer

Skye Nestler — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 04:51:15 +0000

A few weeks ago we braved the trip down to Wollongong, even though the weather wasn’t looking the best. Once we arrived, it was raining. But as luck would have it, the rain past and we had a humid and rain free session (we did however work rather quickly just in case). Lots of giggles in the sand and walking on the rocks, a fun session had by all. (puppy included).

A Lot Happens In a Year | Sydney Child and Family Photographer

Skye Nestler — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:24:21 +0000

How quickly the year has gone. I cant believe that it has been an entire year since I last visited this family to take photographs of their baby Robert. A year later and he has certainly grown up, but still so super cute with super proud parents. He was for a short time fascinated with my camera and he looked straight down the lens at me with his beautiful big brown eyes!!!

Christmas Competition | Sydney and Southern Highlands Photographer

Skye Nestler — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 12:08:31 +0000

This years competition wont be drawn out of a hat, it will be based on YOUR creativity! For years I have taught Photography and taught what our great masters have said what Photography is. But what is it to you? To me, I think it is capturing the right moment at the right time in the right light. And when I say the right moment, I mean capturing what is an ordinary moment to some and making it into something extraordinary. That is what a photographers job is to me, to see the beauty in an object or the emotion in a person and be able to use what is given to us at that time to create a timeless photograph to be admired for years to come.

But thats what Photography is to ME. What is it to YOU?

Tell me what you believe photography is. What it stands for. Would our lives be different without it? What worth do we hold on precious memories taken with a camera?

Enter below by commenting on this post. Entries close on Christmas Eve, at 5pm.

WHAT IS THE PRIZE???????

The most powerful and creative response to the competition will receive a free shoot including a 8×12″ print.

Good Luck!!!!!!! And I look forward to hearing what you all have to say! And Merry Christmas! (can I say that already?)

Its Spring Time | Sydney Family Photographer

Skye Nestler — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 05:38:43 +0000

The sun was beaming early in the morning, and with it was a gorgeous warm day. Perfect light in the afternoon for photos, and warm enough for summer dresses! From the very start everyone was enjoying the shoot. Mimo and Virginia had a special few photos together without the kids, which I just love. The laughs, the connection and so relaxed. All of the kids having fun while having their photos on their own before showing me their climbing skills on the gate. Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peak and your slideshow!!

Claudia……before the boys wake up | Sydney Child And Family Photographer

Skye Nestler — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 10:02:15 +0000

Today’s shoot was of beautiful children, Claudia and her two brothers who are 1 year old twins. They were asleep when I arrived and Claudia’s Mum had bought her a pettiskirt!!! Yes i was most impressed, and loved the colours of the one she purchased. So some alone time for Claudia to do her thing. Apparently Claudia does not like to smile for the camera very often, however she LOVED my camera. I promised to try and get a few pics up for her tonight by her bed time which I think I have not made by about an hour, but they will be awaiting for when she wakes in the morning. What a wonderful big sister you are Claudia. Here are a few of your “pictures” that you so eagerly wanted to see!!!!

Just for the girls | Sydney Child and Family Photographer

Skye Nestler — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:54:19 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Marie and her beautiful two little girls. The weather was windy, but the rain cleared up and the sun was glowing. Down into the back paddocks we went where we were followed by horses and I got shocked by the electric fence! (it wasnt turned on last time!!) It took a little while for the smiles to start but once I threatened tickles, they eventually came out at the end. Some special photos of the bond between Marie and her two little girls. Hope you enjoy!

Gorgeous Winter Afternoon Light Part 2 | Sydney Child and Family Photographer

Skye Nestler — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:57:56 +0000

I have so many favourites from this session its hard to not load all of them! I love the family shots and how I have captured them interacting while I sat away, although little Miss A still curious as to where I was looking around for that lady that kept following her all afternoon. By the last few shots she was posing it up right in front of me, moving her head around like a professional! I hope you enjoy!
