Photo-a-day: Day 28 | Melbourne baby photographer

January 28, 2010 – 11:40 pm

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

Day 28: The Very Hungry Caterpillar was one of my favourite books growing up. In fact, this image above is actually my copy from when I was little. One of the things I loved most was books when I was younger, and being able to pass those favourites down to my kids is one of the most rewarding joys of being a parent. Mia just adores her them – she ‘reads’ along with us, page by page, and yet still has the same delight on her face as if she’s never heard the story before. It’s the beautiful thing about kids – they never tire of the same favourites. It could be the hundredth time you’ve read something like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and it will still be such a joy to them. She’s now taken to reading to Charlie boy as well (which I think he enjoys just as much as her sometimes) and it’s all kinds of cute listening to them giggling away at each other. Love those moments.

Photo-a-day: Day 5 | Melbourne children’s photography

Day 5: Spent a beautiful afternoon with Barb of JinkyArt yesterday, we all had a ball (well, apart from Charlie who decided yesterday would be the day he’d go without sleeping). Seriously, one of the most beautiful souls in this world - chilled, creative and special :) Miss Mia and I spent some time last week cutting out little paper hearts to play with, and today of course, she still wouldn’t put them down. So, we had a bit of cheeky love heart fun with them. We’re such goofballs when we play together.

Even though I keep my photo-a-day series to black and white landscape images, I tell you – this looks way cool in colour too!

Baby Johnathan| Baby Photographer, Melbourne

He smiled, he laughed, he cried, he giggled, he dreamed, he ate, he loved… and I loved him back!

Pure, sweet and gorgeous he was – can’t you just smell the babyness on him?!

Holly | Melbourne Baby Photographer

July 29, 2009 – 1:55 pm

When this little gem first arrived to her session, she was not a happy chappy. Her mum told me that she had been crying most of the way over instead of sleeping as she should have been (isn’t it always the way?). Her little cheeks were so red and her beautiful eyes all puffy – so the first thing I suggested was to let her have a nap!

She is the most feisty and headstrong little thing and watching her fight going to sleep was entertainment enough for me.  Of course, it also means gorgeous photo opportunities as well (it’s no secret I adore sleeping babies) and also meant that poor red face was gorgeously peachy again after she woke. We had so much fun playing with her – watching her obsession with paper too had me in stitches. Loved her.

Harry monster | Baby photography Melbourne

July 18, 2009 – 8:05 am

As you can see by the first image, it’s tiring work being a supermodel. Sometimes as much as they want to perform for me in front of the camera, those sandman eyes get the better of them. Lucky for me it was at the end of our session anyway, but this little Harry Monster was such a trooper.

The best part about Harry was the giant smile that came across his face every time he fell over after trying to sit up for a period of time. Most kids would panic as they toppled over but not Harry – it was like a great old game for him! The cheeky grin that he would give as you picked him up would seriously melt your heart. Such a treasure he is!

{So, so lovely to see you again Melinda – you should be so super proud of this little being you have brought into the world. It was such a great pleasure to spend the morning playing with you both – big hugs to Monty!}

Lovely Leah | Baby photography Melbourne

July 5, 2009 – 3:18 pm

Luscious lips?….. check
Giant squishable cheeks?….check
The most delicious eyelashes you have ever seen?….. check
Hair that people pay good money for?…. check
Cheek dimple when smiling?…. check

Ok, ok, ok…. so I KNOW each session I finish thinking I get to photograph the best looking kids on the planet… but COME ONE!!! Take one look at little Leah and tell me she isn’t just the icing on the cake? As a baby photographer, I may be biased as I think every kid I photograph is pretty darn cute but I did have to excuse myself in front of Leah’s parents for using the phrase “I want to eat you all up” too much in conjunction with a lot of blowing raspberries on her toes. How could you not though?

Urgh…. if you can buy one of these babies somewhere… give me an order for 10!

{Meaghan – one word…. DIVINE! So so happy after her session, and waiting for her to fall asleep (albeit only for 2 mins) was so worth it!}

Oliver the Babe | Baby photographer Melbourne

July 4, 2009 – 9:52 pm

I have had so many gorgeous babies in my studio of late… and this little man was no exception.

The first thing I wanted to do when I met him was ruffle that gorgeous mop of hair on his head. Don’t you just love it?! He had such a gorgeous little personality. He’s not on the move yet, but boy it won’t be long. Those legs were getting a major workout. Just love, love, love this age!

Little House | Commercial Photography, Melbourne

June 24, 2009 – 10:01 pm

I have been a fan of the beautiful products of Little House for such a long time now, so I was so happy to be asked to photograph some of the new range for them. Mia has a beautiful woollen blanket from Little House (Jack) that I just adore, and seeing all of the new exciting things that are on offer made me drool just a little bit more.

Baby Alannah | Baby photographer, Melbourne

June 17, 2009 – 9:05 am

Do they get any more precious than this?! At one of my absolute favourite ages, 8 month old Alannah was an absolute superstar and a half for me at her session. We had some good bonding time to warm up to begin with (aka lots of play and tickles) and as soon as we found her button to get her going, there was no stopping her!

I love it when clients allow me to take the lead with clothing choices and positioning – my motto is always, SIMPLE IS BEST! You can never go wrong with simple, and this gorgeous thing stole the show anyway so it wouldn’t have mattered in the slightest what we had her dressed in.

Adored every single connecting moment with her – her smile gives me warm hugs from the inside out!

Baby J | Melbourne baby photographer

June 15, 2009 – 8:59 am

Another dark, cold and dreary Melbourne day, but certainly not while this man was around.  He made my world fill with sunshine and rainbows.

His eyes were to-die-for gorgeous and when he stared at me with them, you could really feel his beautiful personality. And of couse, what better way to show off those baby blues than to pop some beanies on him – doesn’t he just melt your heart?!

Meet Caleb – green eyes, green shirt, green wall… does it get any better?!

Yep, that’s baby bro Noah… delish!! He had this adorable comfort habit of putting these two fingers into his mouth (rock on dude!!) and then gaze up at me with the most adorable baby blues complete with long black lashes (both of the boys had lashes most girls would kill for – seriously). Such a happy little thing he was too – such a joy connecting with these beautiful souls!

{What a beautiful morning with your gorgeous boys Paula. Such a treat for me – hugs for Noah and thank Caleb for being such a wonderful helper!}

Happy Birthday Princess Mia | Melbourne Child Photography

May 15, 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
xx

Three times lucky | Melbourne children’s photographer

May 13, 2009 – 9:36 pm

Yep, I’m lucky alright.

This was not the first, or second, but third time I got to see gorgeous Thomas in the space of a year. I was first contacted to capture his newborn photography, then again at around 6 months of age, and I was still even allowed back to photograph him at one year old!

Happy first birthday gorgeous little man!

{Naomi, he honestly keeps getting cuter each time I see him… you’ll be swatting those girls away from your door in no time. I love being able to watch him grow up – always a pleasure!}

Jet setting Ethan | Melbourne kids photographer

May 2, 2009 – 10:08 pm

I was so honoured to have Lisa contact me from Sydney saying that she wanted to book in for a session while they were in Melbourne this weekend. The weather was stunning today so it was great to take advantage and have their session outdoors.

Ethan had the most gorgeous captivating eyes (honestly… check out the last sneak peek photo of him below) and was a gorgeous little munchkin to hang out with!

{Lisa I hope you had a safe trip home to your ‘warmer’ Sydney weather!! Thanks for the fun afternoon}
