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!
Today we had a glorious winters day. After a frosty start the sun was out and it was actually quite mild. In the afternoon I had a shoot with Jo, who was in my year at school and her hubby Glenn and daughter Amelie, who wasn’t really a huge fan of me or my camera. Her favourite word to me was “no” but after a few chats about Makka Pakka hiding in the garden and some excellent jumping by Glenn, there were a few smiles. Yes my shoots supply the fathers with a boot camp like quality of keeping the children entertained. What can I say about the light. It was amazing, perfect. Jo is pregnant and I couldnt resist in getting a couple “belly” shots. Enjoy your sneak peek of your shoot, there are some very special photos of your family. There will be more to come in the next few days but I was so keen to share!! xx
So many good photos to share from this session. Yesterday I was doing more research on photoshop styles and effects for school, and I fell upon this effect with the orange glow and adding grain. I simply love it and the aged kind of polaroid feel it gives to the photos. The sparkle in the water just shows what a beautiful day we had, no clouds and crystal clear water. I had been asking them to close their eyes from the glare and then open so they weren’t squinting, and saw how nice it actually looked standing there with their eyes shut! Hope you guys enjoy, such a lovely couple Pete and Ria, congratulations on your engagement, you are a gorgeous couple!!!!
Today I had so much fun photographing mainly Ria and Pete for an E-Shoot. Little Ria, the little sister of my great friend Bek, who I have known since she was a little girl. Well now grown up and totally breathtakingly gorgeous, Miss Ria is engaged to Pete. Both Pete and Ria were amazing for this shoot. Both casual and excellent infront of the camera. But that wasnt it. Step in Bek, for some very fun and serious posing and her Mum, for some family shots, a wonderful example of the bond between mother and daughters, the love and admiration between them was so evident.
The weather was perfect and we all had a ball together. Congratulations Pete and Ria on your engagement. Hope you enjoy the first lot of pics, I just couldnt wait to share, there will be more to come later!!!!
I first met Mel years ago working together at the Crown in Camden in the kitchen. Our children were in the same swimming class a few years back, but I hadn’t seen her for about 2 years. I received an email from Mel saying how much she loved my work, and how much she wanted to eventually get photo’s done of her family. So when the time came she requested that we take the photos at her home, “As home is where the heart is” she said.
What a beautiful home it is too! Furnished beautifully, stylish, just like Mel!! The back of the house leads to a wonderful outdoor area with a huge deck and a large backyard which was beautifully green after the downpour of rain we have had. After some fun out the back, Mel had a secret location in mind, which had us all laughing our heads off, but hey, she was right it made for wonderful photos and the laughter between all of them was great. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek guys, the rest will be finished soon!
The second part to the wonderful shoot I did a few weeks ago. An afternoon at Macarthur Park in Camden. It was a cloudy afternoon, and the rain held off, lucky it wasnt this weekend just gone! Hope you all enjoy your slideshow!
The last baby for this family made this shoot very special. I insisted that Kylie have these photos to remember her pregnancy…something I wish I had of done when I was pregnant. A day that was meant to rain, we had a sun filled morning which was perfect for going out the back into the paddocks. Then also some shots inside. So glad you had a good time Kylie!
Setting up a studio type space for a pregnancy shoot today, Lily knew exactly what I was doing. And straight in front of the backdrop she went! Giving me lots of poses, she really is learning how to work the camera. Too much cuteness!
This week the weather has been perfect for summer dresses, beach trips, and well ice cream! (not to mention the absolutely gorgeous cake I made and yes my waist line is feeling it) A wonderful day at the beach, a picnic by the lighthouse and a play in the park. Nothing tops a day out that I get the smiles like I did on this day from Lily. She loves the beach, she loves nature and picking up natural things at the beach with a wonder about the texture and “what’s that Mummy”. The beach on this day was probably our last trip for swimming, as after we get back from England it will surely be too cold to get in the water. So lots of splashing and swimming, laughing and giggling (especially when I stacked it in the water), and sleeping on the way home.
I have no idea what day I should be up to with the photo a day challenge, which I kind of stopped doing a few weeks ago. I really wanted to try and keep it going but life sometimes gets in the way and I didnt want to be adding and sharing photographs that were of household products!! So in trying to maintain it a little bit more I am AT LEAST going to do a photo of the week. A lot less pressure yet still having to keep me thinking of what to do. Today I downloaded the application Hipstomatic. And I am in love. Within 20 minutes I had 30 pictures. I love love love it. Below a collage of todays spoils. Kinda holgaish….very cool i think. If you have an iphone highly recommend!
