Baby Jordan | Melbourne newborn photographer

22 January, 2010 – 8:39 pm

It is always such a pleasure to have clients return to me for sessions. Even better when it’s because a new little soul has entered the world. I photographed this little baby girl’s big brother as a newborn two years ago, and having her visit my studio brought back so many lovely memories of this beautiful family. I feel so thankful when I see my clients again as its always such an immense privilege for me.

It was also this beautiful session that I was joined by the lovely Shana, who contacted me as part of my Dis the Biz with Kris blog call out a little while back. We had such a fabulous morning playing together – Shana is a wonderful person and I am so happy that I got a chance to meet and spend the day with her.

Wonder | Melbourne newborn photography

17 January, 2010 – 3:43 pm

She is why I ache right down to my bones with love for what I do…why I go to bed thankful each and every night after meeting these new little souls for being fortunate enough not only to meet them, but to photograph them.

I feel like my words sometimes do not even begin to do my heart justice. I want so much for the beautiful and amazing parents that I meet to feel the way that I do when they see their images, to see what I see through my lens, and to be so joyful and amazed by their beautiful wonder. Every.single.inch of them is special. They created these people – I am merely here to capture their beauty.

This, my friends, is why I do what I do. This inspiring high that lifts my heart – it is a gift to me, these babies are a gift to me. I am so thankful for them.

Dainty and Divine | Melbourne newborn photography

16 January, 2010 – 11:17 pm

I just have to say thank you so much to my amazing clients during this crazy busy month for me. I haven’t had nearly as much time to be able to keep the blog updated as much as I would like, and so I apologise if things like sneak peeks are (very) tardy, or non-existent for the moment. My priority is to make sure things still run as smoothly as possible for my gorgeous clients behind the scenes, so you’ll all have to forgive me for a little bit while I attend to my beautiful clients’ needs!

As such, this sneak peek is from a little while ago, but couldn’t help but share some images of this gorgeous sweet thing. Oh, how I loved her! Made her mumma wait for a little while to make her grand entrance, but I’m sure you’ll agree in that she was absolutely worth the wait. So dainty and divine. I could have sat there and breathed her in all day.

Baby Sibella| Newborn photography, Melbourne

10 January, 2010 – 9:17 pm

Sweet Sibella. Loved every single inch of her newborn goodness.

Her mumma even brought in this amazingly beautiful heirloom quilt for her to be photographed with. I just love being able to incorporate gorgeous things like this into portraits for families – so, so special. This sneak peek also sends a huge shout out to all of Sibella’s extended family in Canada too so far, far away from her right now.

My Joy | Melbourne newborn photography

29 December, 2009 – 10:26 am

We’re having such a baby boom at the moment in Melbourne, and I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling it at the moment! The second half of December through to the end of January is crazy busy and I have never had so many newborn photography requests for the same period of time – makes me wonder what was in the water nine months ago to be welcoming all of these babies into the world at once ;)

One of these precious little souls is the new baby girl of one of my closest friends. Both of our two children are now only months apart (her big brother has featured before on the blog) which is such a special thing knowing that they can grow up together. When April was born, Mia was so excited to go and see her in the hospital (“see baby April mummy”) and of course, was just as excited to see her again when she came in to have her newborn photos taken.

I love her so dearly – everything about her makes my heart smile. The beautiful feathery eyelashes, the peach fuzz on her cheeks, the lovely dark hair on her head, the dainty little fingers – she’s a special little one. My Charlie will have to watch out as he will be fighting for her attention against all of the other boys, no doubt. In some ways she has very similar features to her big brother, but she’s definitely an individual and such a little girl at that.

Meet “baby April”…

Merry everything! | Melbourne newborn photography

26 December, 2009 – 11:08 pm

Phew… it’s been so, so busy so you will have to excuse my obvious neglect of the blog of late. Between clients, Christmas orders, end of year wrap up, and of course, preparing for Christmas ourselves, this whole month has been a bit of a whirlwind.

First off, Merry Christmas to all of my beautiful clients and faithful blog readers for 2009. For those that celebrate, I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday spending time with loved ones, enjoying good food with much joy and laughter. I hope there was lots of Santa spotting, tickles, Christmas cracker crown-wearing, pudding eating and early bed times, and from my heart I send you all of the very lovliest of holiday wishes to your family.

To the non-Christmas celebraters during this holiday season, have a Merry Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Tet, Ramadan, Winter Solstice and Festivus!

But today I can’t go without posting some precious shots of the gorgeous Noah who arrived a few weeks early much to the surprise of his family in time to surprise them for Christmas (and could you ask for a more perfect Christmas gift for them?) Such a gorgeous thing he was for me – oh how I loved playing with him so much!

A year of newborns – 2009 | Melbourne newborn photography

12 December, 2009 – 3:12 pm

I feel so incredibly fortunate and blessed to be doing what I do. I know I have said this… a lot… and I mean it. I am so fortunate to have the most amazing clients that put their faith and trust in me to capture beautiful moments in their lives. I am so lucky to spend time getting to know such special people and providing them with memories and art to cherish for years to come.

With every flake of skin, fuzzy ear, wrinkly foot, pouty lip, wispy hair or curled slumber, I am reminded of the beauty of each and every newborn baby. The tiny, the precious, the new – this newness that seems to whisper a tale of what infinite possibilities this little person can achieve in their lifetime. I meet these babes when they are only a few days young and still so fresh and innocent, and it humbles me every single time. It humbles me because days ago, weeks ago, months ago – this little person wasn’t even here yet, and here I am being asked to freeze this perfect moment in time for them to remember and cherish. Their parents loved them but didn’t know how much they would love that flakey skin, fuzzy ear, wrinkly foot…

And so here is just a sprinkling of the clients I’ve had over the course of 2009 – my beautiful newborn babies, with many more exciting miracles to meet in 2010.

Baby Isla | Melbourne newborn photography

2 December, 2009 – 8:50 pm

Last week I blogged that lovely baby Isla had arrived the day before my birthday. I was so excited to meet her – I was so very lucky to photograph her big brother as a newborn almost 20 months ago (oh my gosh, how time flies) and I couldn’t wait to see how she compared to him. She is delicious – in some ways very different to her big brother but she still has some of his characteristics as well. 

I adore her! We had a little play when she came over for a visit and she was so good to us. Sometimes I have to just stop and sit for a while during beautiful sessions like these and take in everything around me. This tiny, new, beautiful soul has just entered this world and here I am, capturing those seconds, those moments, those feelings for her parents.

Baby girls | Melbourne newborn photography

28 November, 2009 – 9:50 pm

Baby girls are dainty, delicate and delightful. From the tips of their fingers and down to their toes, they make me happy. Baby girls are beautiful in every single detail they possess, and the divine Miss Charlotte was no exception.

With all of my beautiful babies in such a rush to enter this wonderful world, Charlotte instead decided to take things at her own pace arriving slightly fashionably late to make her grand entrance.

She is worth the wait…

Mini Cooper | Melbourne newborn photographer

27 November, 2009 – 9:35 pm

I adore my clients. They put so much trust in me at such a momentous stage in their lives. Every time I press the shutter I am preserving a piece of time for them – something they can cherish now, but also years from now when those tiny little fingers have grown big and strong, the peach fuzz hair has long since gone and their precious tiny babies are tiny no more.

Darling Cooper was yet another bebe that decided to surprise his family with an early entrance – SO many early arrivals in the last month, more than I have ever had in the past. Like Cooper, they all seem to be in such a hurry to meet their wonderful families.

His gorgeous mum also came prepared with a few personal touches to add to his images such as this beautiful LOVE sign that they also incorporated into their wedding images previously.
