Happy Birthday Princess Mia | Melbourne Child Photography

15 May, 2009 – 9:01 pm

Today was my gorgeous, beautiful, darling Mia’s second birthday.

She is my joy, my sunshine, my life. She is my reason for living and the reason I do what I do.

She makes me smile every day and she knows how to push my buttons, as well as laugh like there is no tomorrow. She knows me better than I ever thought a 2 year old could, and every day surprises me with her beautiful, soft and gentle nature that is a trademark of hers. She absolutely hates it when I sing to her (pity, since anyone that knows me knows I love to sing), loves reading books, cherishes 3:30pm when Hi-5 comes on for the afternoon, loves cuddling by tucking her arms and legs underneath her like a little ball, loves it when I take photos of her just so that she can come and sit with me to have a look at the LCD on the back of the camera, has taken an immense liking to blowing out candles on her birthday cake, hates it when we ask her to close the fridge when she hasn’t finished inspecting everything in there for the 50th time that day, loves jumping into bed to wake up daddy, is obsessed with her stacking cups from Ikea, changes her mind daily on what food she loves or loathes, loves wearing dresses and hates when I don’t let her play/eat the glue sticks that sit in the top drawer of my office.

My princess is obsessed with slides at the moment. Our daily trip to the park turns into a nightmare when trying to get her home as she refuses to leave without a tantrum. We made the quick decision therefore to get a mini playset complete with a slide (or “siiiiiiiide”, as Mia calls it) for her birthday for home. Of course, now that she knows that the slide can flip over to form stairs on the other side, every time she goes up or down she demands that we change it over from one to the other so she can have the best of both worlds at the same time. I am hoping this is only a passing fad for her and she will forget about it by tomorrow…I know, wishful thinking!

Happy 2nd birthday princess

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

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!}

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?!

A girly afternoon | Child photographer, Melbourne

4 April, 2009 – 2:04 pm

When our session ended, two year old Nicola wouldn’t leave my side. I’m sure she would have jumped in my car and driven home with me if we hadn’t persuaded her to go back home with her family! I was having such fun with these girls.

Baby Sophie had just learned to toddle around, and that grin of hers…check out that second last image – it’s her all over! Cheeky as they come and totally and utterly adorable. The outfits these girls had picked out for them too were also totally divine – so, so gorgeous they were!!

{Your girls are divine Karen, I could have cuddled with them all day long and still not have had enough!! Seriously, adored their session, adored them and hope to do it again with you all sometime soon!}

Baby Hailey | Melbourne Child Photography

This girl was such a cutie. Gorgeously cheeky and loved the camera (literally… we would pop her down and within a second she’d be coming towards me at full speed just so that she could touch it!). Her session was a lot of fun!

Hailey also has this gorgeous vintage highchair which I fell in love with the instant I saw it -but the best bit about her? Those two gorgeous teeth down the bottom that seem to show up every time she smiles!!

{Dean & Monique – loved her cheeky side. She was a gorgeous angel to photograph and made me smile all afternoon. What fun!!}

I’m baaaaack | Melbourne Baby Photographer

28 March, 2009 – 9:46 pm

Phew… it’s been a while. I am so sorry for not updating the blog a little sooner after I was due back from holidays – there are lots of reasons that I won’t go into why I wasn’t able to sooner, but I am happy to say that things are now back on track (even though I am still slowly trying to get through all of the emails I accumulated while on my break!)

For those that were asking, yes thank you – we had a wonderful time away and it was lovely to have a short break. We ended up holidaying for a week on the Sunshine Coast (I will post separately about it with some images). The sad part is, like any holiday, once it’s over and you’re back into the swing of things, it hardly feels like you went away!

First though, I do want to share these gorgeous images from little Olivia’s session a little while ago. Check out those massive baby blues and milky white skin! I think this girl had me beat on fair skin – it was divine! The weather on the day we had scheduled for her photo session was absolutely awful in terms of shooting conditions, but beautiful for the garden! It absolutely poured down for most of the time I was there, save for maybe 10 mins were we ran outside, took a couple of photos and then ran back inside to avoid the downpour!

{Lisa, her eyes still get me every time…! I still can’t get over the weather we had that day (very un-Melbourne like!) – we’re so lucky we were able to use the gorgeous light in your home!}
