My poppet

7 October, 2008 – 7:40 pm

I just realised it’s been so long since I posted some photos of my little Miss Mia (FAR too long) so I thought I would update the blog today with some photographs from the weekend. We had a gorgeous family day on Sunday and spent the afternoon in the sun at Werribee Park – one of my all-time favourite locations in Melbourne (and not just because I was married there!)

Sooooo here are some from Sunday of my precious poppet!

I spent about 5 minutes trying to get this photo out of her and eventually gave up – she was far more interested in the bird walking along beside her than looking up at me… go figure…the true definition of ‘watch the birdie’!

And yes… on of those rare moments where I caught her SMILING on camera!! Wonders never cease!

And finally a couple just to show you what a ham she can be…!!

So a big fishy face shout out to everyone on this Tuesday – have a good one!! xx

Another weekend over

6 October, 2008 – 8:04 pm

Saturday I must admit was the exact reverse of Friday – weather was a bit off in the morning, but by the afternoon…. WONDERFUL! I love days like that! Sunday was also fanastic – the weather was so kind to Melburnians this weekend!

Had a glorious session this weekend with this lovely family – they were all adorable, and we spent a lovely afternoon in the Botanical Gardens. In fact, it’s where these lovely parents were married so it made it all the more special to return to the gardens for some family portraits as well!! I love it when locations like this hold a special place in my client’s hearts!!!!

It was so obvious that these two girls were daddy’s girls… anywhere daddy went, they would follow.

Aren’t they all so CUUUTE??

{Those kids of yours are a riot Peggy, I adore them. What a fun afternoon – I think we were right to finish when we did; the kids are the ones in control!! hahaha!!}

Talk about lucky

3 October, 2008 – 11:26 pm

We were definitely testing our luck with the weather today. Forecast was for a fine morning, with showers and cloud in the afternoon. They weren’t wrong. Just after midday, around 12:20 in fact, the clouds rolled in and the rain began to fall. Lucky for me, my kids at today’s session had just about enough of having a camera in their face and were completely over the session, so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect!

Darling little Jonah has the most wonderful soulful eyes. Poor little cherub was so tired though – these were just about the only smiles we got from him today! Still, he was wide awake whenever there were birds around – he was so fascinated by them!! Cuuuuute!

Big sister Isabel was darling. Typical 2.5 year old in that reverse psychology was the only trick that worked with her. This is her “not” smiling for the camera… go on, tell me you don’t want to smile looking at her?? Go on!!!!

These two photos show what happens when children are so close they could jump inside the camera… haha!!!!

And check out those lips on her in the photo below… she’s gone to give Angelina Jolie a run for her money one day!! Ahhh this photo of her makes my heart sing – I just want to cuddle her all over again!

{They were champions today Shelley, I adored them. Any time you want to go fairy hunting, bird watching or bubble blowing again, give me a call… :) }

Meet Baby M!

2 October, 2008 – 5:36 pm

I always love sessions where I have had the pleasure of doing some pregnancy photography for mum, and also being asked to come back for some newborn photos as well.

Here she was then (nice and cosy in mum’s tummy!!)

… and here she is now!

How lucky was I to get this eye contact at only one week old?! This never happens!! I must have been super quick that day…!

{Welcome to the world baby Mikayla! It is a pleasure to finally meet you! Nic, congratulations on your princess!}

Busy little bee

2 October, 2008 – 1:42 pm

It’s been a busy week, and my head is a bit all over the place – I’ve been very slack with blogging but hope to rectify that very shortly as I have a newborn photography session from a few days ago that I want to share with you very soon.

It’s been a funny week, but there are some facts that I have come to learn:

  1. Some people, no matter how old they are, continue to act like children (and I, safe to say, am one of them!!)
  2. Toast will always fall butter side down when thrown from a highchair
  3. When you’re a photographer, your own child will eventually learn to refuse to look at you whenever there is a camera nearby
  4. There are some people who are just plain mean for the fun of it, and I don’t know why
  5. Houses do not clean themselves no matter how hard I sing “A spoonful of sugar” like Mary Poppins
