    Those Feet | Newborn Photographer Melbourne

    They curl
    Those feet
    In the most perfect but haphazard of ways
    Every crease
    Every line
    Exactly where it should be

    Bec + Rich | Stones of the Yarra Valley

    Stones of the Yarra Valley is always such a favourite location of mine.
    Every time I photograph a wedding there it feels like coming home.
    This day, even more so, if that was even possible.
    There was so much beauty in the calm.
    So many celebrations to be had.
    So many memories to be made.

    Born with Greatness | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

    You were born with potential.
    You were born with goodness and trust.
    You were born with ideals and dreams.
    You were born with greatness.
    You were born with wings.
    You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
    You have wings.
    Learn to use them and fly.

    – Rumi

    Kate + John | Two Ton Max

    The day started like any other.
    The sun rose.
    The clocks ticked.
    The breeze was gentle.
    But on this day, Kate married John.
    They said I do at Newman College Chapel.
    They partied at Two Ton Max.
    And then the sun set.

    This is You | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

    This is you.
    The way you lay your arms across your body
    And kiss into the crease.
    The way you tuck your legs at the ankles.
    You stretch purposefully, for just a moment,
    (For you do love to stretch)
    And then you lay quietly.
    Just like this.
    For nothing I could do, would be more beautiful
    Than this perfection.
    This reality.
    Of you.

    Newborn Photographer in Melbourne - Kristen Cook

    A Breath | Melbourne newborn photography

    A breath.
    A stretch.
    As simple and magnificent as that.

    Newborn Photography in Melbourne by Kristen Cook

    Tho + David | Stones of the Yarra Valley

    I love to document love.
    The quiet, delicate and delicious nature of love.
    The soulful, deep and affirming presence of love.
    The boisterous, playful and fiery elements of love.
    All of the subtle and affirming nuances I witness pay tribute to that journey.
    From the first tear upon reading the gentle words written to you by your future husband.
    The hair as it is brushed tenderly from your face in the breeze.
    The tinkling of laughter on the dance floor as the party plays on.
    That story is told.

    Monique + Brendan | Sault, Daylesford Wedding

    Beauty comes in many forms.
    In smiles.
    In quiet moments.
    In overcoming obstacles.
    In the purest of love.
    In unquestionable support.
    In uncontrollable fits of laughter.
    In patience.
    And, this wedding, proved it all.

    Photo-a-day 2013 :: Day 31

    {Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I undertake every January for an entire month taking one photo a day of my children.}

    January 2013 Photo a Day by Kristen Cook // Day 31

    The first.
    The first ever photo taken of you.
    The first moment I knew my world would never be the same.
    The first time I felt completely in love with you and terrified by you, all at the same time.
    The first breath.
    I didn’t know if this photo would ever come into existence.
    If I would ever feel that warmth of your breath on my skin as you cried.
    I wished.
    I hoped.
    And I fought.
    I fought damn hard for you.
    I was an encyclopaedia on assisted conception.
    I became a human pin cushion.
    Even my hormones were not my own.
    And I cried.
    So many tears.
    I often questioned if you wanted me.
    If I was ever going to be good enough for you.
    However, if I was certain of only one thing in my life, it’s that I was going to be a mama.
    Somehow.
    I knew we would meet, one day.
    When you were ready to do so.
    And so, this photo, this first
    Means so much more than you will ever know.
    Today.
    This is your first.
    Your first day of school.
    The first day of chapter that will lead you to adulthood.
    And so, on this day, this day of firsts, I thank you.
    Thank you for choosing me.
    For the first time.
