Little friend | Baby photography, Melbourne

Beautiful child,
I have seen your family grow.
Oh, the sweet joy in watching your beauty unfold over time.
Your sister was only days old when she first came to visit me.
She was your age when I saw her again.
The third time I saw her, she had you, only days old, to show me.
And now I see you again, like your sister, as you grow.
We played, we danced, we chatted, we laughed.
Your sister played ‘mummy’, and made up beds on the floor for her toys to nap.
She made sure that you and your mummy had one too.
Thank you for sharing such a special day with me, again.
There is so much beauty in your existence, little friend.
And so much love to be shared.

It matters not how old they are,
You never stop wanting to embrace them close like this.
Never.

Sometimes
Not even all of the kisses in the world
Could ever express
How excited she is to meet him

A Dream | Newborn photographer Melbourne

“Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem  to whisper, I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me”

Dream A Little Dream

A year of newborns – 2011 | Newborn photography

Whatever new years resolutions follow in the time coming -
Make just one that will last.
Be still.
Beauty is everywhere.
It comes in the purest of forms – I promise; one need not look far.
I am so very lucky that I get to see and document love in so many forms.
Relationships of love, people in love, new love born, baby love.
And this, right here, is where it starts for all of us.
As seeds.
As people.
As friends.
This slideshow is dedicated to those newborn friends I welcomed this year.
2011 has been magnificent.
2012, I know even more so.
Happy New Year, friends.

 2011 Newborn Slideshow

You smile | Maternity Photography, Melbourne

Tiny.
She delicately tickles from the inside.
You smile.
Your hands glide over, back and forth.
Inches from each other, yet still not close enough.
Your yearn to know her face, her heart.
What miraculous circumstances brought her here.
The wonderful anticipation beckons.
She gently rolls, guiding your sweet thoughts with her.
You smile.

Peace.Joy.Love. | Baby photography, Melbourne

Wishing you much joy, beauty, peace and love in 2012.
