Newborn, Baby and Children's Photography in Melbourne :: Kristen Cook {The Blog}

Does anyone else ever feel like they need a holiday from a holiday? Not that you can really count my weekend in Sydney as a holiday, but surely getting on a plane counts for something.

Even though I moaned and groaned through my back and pelvic pain (yep, pelvic instability in pregnancy, hooray!!) I actually had one of the best weekends I have had since… well, as long as I can remember that’s for sure. I spent the entire weekend in meet-n-greets, dinners, networking, general insane girly chatter, APPA and PMA ogling style – and loved every moment of it. My head is still a bit sore after this whirlwind weekend but it was so lovely to be able to spend time with some gorgeous photographers from all over Australia. Doing what I do can feel rather isolating at times (as many would agree!), so I’m so happy to get out there and have the chance to rub shoulders with other pros in the industry at events like this. The wonderful crew over at the AIPP (and all of the faceless behind the scenes helpers) do such a great job with things like the APPAs so it was great to just sit there and watch all of the beautiful work on display and the judges in action. And to those five craaaaaaaazy chicks who spent the weekend with me in our penthouse… LOVE YOU!!!!

I am a bit behind with sneak peeks etc as a result, but also because I’m currently in the process of an upgrade to my PC so much of it is out of action for the next couple of days so hopefully I will have the chance to catch up soon (always say that… never do….!!)

I’m now just over 32 weeks pregnant, so things are definitely slowing down now and so if I haven’t spoken to you already, I am only taking newborn and non-moving baby sessions at the moment. As much as I would love to say yes to everyone wanting to book, my body just won’t let me run after toddlers or cart around the usual gear I have, which is probably a good thing! I only have a few dates left in fact before I’m fully booked until having the baby anyway so if you are wanting newborn or baby sessions (anything before they’re on the move) then feel free to give me a buzz!
