It’s time to say goodbye | Melbourne photographer

27 April, 2009 – 1:16 pm

UPDATED: SOLD, thanks everyone!!

To my original babies… all of my original camera gear is up for grabs (sniff sniff!!!). I’ve upgraded to newer gear over the past year and as such, it makes no sense for me to hang on to the babies that started me off in this business (as much sentimental value that they have!)

Up for sale I have a Canon 350D, Canon 50 1.8 (with filter), Canon EFS 18-55 (with filter) and a Canon 55-200. I’m hoping to sell this has a kit altogether (because I’m lazy and that’s just easier for me), but if there is enough separate interest for individual items, then I will consider splitting them.

It really is a wonderful starter kit and has produced some amazing images for me, so if you’re interested, please drop me an email via the website.

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Two little boys | Melbourne Child Photographer

25 April, 2009 – 4:07 pm

I swear that if I have a boy with this pregnancy, I want him to be just like these two. Urgh… SO adorable and so much fun.

Big brother Harry was divine – he made my memory work overtime when we had an in-depth conversation about TMNT (that’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for all of you not in the ‘know’…) and their new nicknames, adventures and who had the coolest gear.

Lil’ bro Archie was one of the cutest little munchkins, with a massive mop of curly hair for me to play with. I swear this kid’s cricket skills are beyond normal – he has more coordination at two than I have at 29… seriously. It was embarrassing really – ah well, I will get over it eventually!

{Maree, thanks for choosing me to spend a wonderful morning with your family! Cricket, TMNT speak, coffee breaks and all…!}

Workshop week | Melbourne photographer

20 April, 2009 – 11:06 pm

A quick PSA to let you all know that I will be unable to answer the phone this week as I will be participating in a workshop.

I should be able to check messages during breaks and make phone calls then, so you’re still welcome to leave messages and send emails, it just may take me a little bit longer to reply.

There once was a girl who had a little curl | Baby photographer, Melbourne

19 April, 2009 – 9:34 am

Please excuse the state of Mia’s room – like all toddlers, she loves to pull things out, drop them as they fall and then move on to the next ‘task’…

{and when she was good she was very very good, and when she was bad she was horrrrrrrid!}

Mr Heartbreaker | Melbourne Children’s Photographer

18 April, 2009 – 1:02 pm

Ok, ok… so you know I have a ‘thing’ for dark eyes. But combine that with blonde hair and….. wooooooah! This is what you get – the gorgeous Oskar!

This boy was such a deep soul – he loved his cars (and we probably spent most if not all of the session running around trying to find some, which is hard when you’re in the garden) and loved his bubbles. Adored his mummy, and was very shy and reserved (until we saw a car!). Connecting with him was a joy – the moments of those beautiful and genuine smiles from him were such a treat. I always get so excited to connect with kids on that level (which is why you will never, ever….EVER hear the words ‘smile’ or ‘cheese’ out of my mouth!!) and he was no exception.

Some sneaky peeks:

{Ingrid, what a gorgeous soul you have there. Cuddle him lots for me}

One cheeky monkey | Children’s photographer in Melbourne

15 April, 2009 – 10:07 pm

They say toddlers are inquisitive, cheeky and full of beans – ‘they’ aren’t wrong. This is the definition of Alexander, and kept me on my toes all morning! Finding out what made him tick was great fun – and tell me that gorgeous mop of hair on his head doesn’t make you want to reach out and ruffle it (I know I did a few times… can’t help it, it’s too adorable!)

And the best part about him? He loves dancing to Jack Johnson – what a champion!

{Mac, it was a pleasure for me to spend the morning in your gorgeous abode photographing your little man! I will be in touch as soon as your proofs are ready}

Our little holiday | Childrens photographer, Melbourne

11 April, 2009 – 2:19 pm

You may recall that we took a short family holiday to the Sunshine Coast. It was so lovely to get away and take a break, and it’s hard to believe that we’ve been back now for almost three weeks.

While we were up there, I also had a chance to meet up with my gorgeous friend Lana (one of Brisbane’s best baby photographers!) who managed to capture some gorgeous shots of my little Miss Mia and I. Being the one always behind the camera, these are very precious to me!!

Some other happy snaps from our trip:

Unfortunately, my little Miss Mia is not a water baby. In fact, put her near sand or water and she will throw a major tantrum.

Ah well, we tried….! Thankfully there was lots to do also away from the water, so we did manage to keep her (and us!) entertained.

Now, when’s my next holiday?!

Brighton megafest weekend | Melbourne child photography

7 April, 2009 – 11:45 am

Trying to dodge the bad weather this weekend felt so much like typical ‘Melbourne’ – wait 5 minutes and the weather will change. We had sun, blue skies, rain, wind, clouds – all over a span of an hour both on Saturday and Sunday. The great thing about kids though is that they just don’t care – they don’t care if it’s raining, or cloudy or cold. They’re just happy to be having fun!!

I got to play with the beautiful Miss Hayden on Saturday who adored being a daddy’s girl, with a bit of rough and tumble thrown in for good measure. And if you don’t believe me about Melbourne’s weather, 5 minutes before that second blue sky shot was taken it was raining… go figure! Loved her cheeky grin (and how she smiles with her eyes).

{She was a doll Andree – such a little infectious personality and clearly loves the attention of her parents. What a treat!!}

Sunday I got to see my most favourite twins that I have now photographed three times (as newborns, at 7 months and now at just over a year old). I adore this entire family – they have me laughing non-stop the whole time I am with them and I always have so much fun. The great thing for me was to see how much the twins had changed since I saw them last. Now they were on the move – and quickly! Their little personalities had blossomed and it was like spending time with friends that morning.

ADORE these two!!!

{How lucky am I Michelle to have seen you all again!!! I am always on a high after your sessions and this was no exception! Hope you all had a ball and the kids enjoyed themselves!}
