The girls...

I had a wonderful afternoon with Kim and her gorgeous daughter, Sarah, yesterday. We headed to the State Park behind my house for some lovely afternoon light. We were hoping for a bit of a sunset, but it wasn't to be... Just a whole bunch of gloomy clouds. But they were both such willing models, and even though Sarah was a bit weirded out I got some stunning shots of her.

I hope you both love these photos as much as I do. Thanks so much, I really did have an awesome time.

Enjoy xox

Another newbie! Aww...

Baby Kaydee and her folks (and Nanna) are down in Melbourne for a short visit so we scheduled in a shoot before they have to head home to Central Vic. Four weeks old, so tiny and adorable. So photogenic. Perfect skin. Uh oh, did someone say clucky??

The poor little darlin had a touch of wind though so was a bit upset throughout our shoot :-( BUT that's probably a good thing for me as it brought all those memories flooding back to me and put a stop to my cluckiness quick smart, heheh. Hopefully she'll start to feel better soon and everyone can get a good night sleep.

Katrina and Andrew, congratulations on your beautiful daughter. She is a total treasure. Enjoy your preview.

Anne-Marie, it was so lovely to see you again.

Twinnies...!

Yay! My first set of twins to photograph, the gorgeous 18-months-old Ella and Keira. Oh my, they were so awesome. I had a lot of fun chasing them around and trying to get their attention, dancing to the Wiggles, throwing balls. It was a total blast. But hard work. I take my hat off to any parent of multiples, you do a fabulouso job.

Enjoy your sneak peak Caren, and travel safely home. I'll be in touch soon.

And how cute is this? Both girls sitting in a toy box playing with their Night Garden toys. Precious. (My 15-month-old is particularly taken with this photo - I keep having to sing the Iggle Piggle song to her when she sees it, heh heh):

Some of my fam...

Last weekend my in-laws came over and I tried to get some nice family shots of them all, and also of the four cousins together. To say it was difficult to capture my niece and nephew is a total understatement!! Why would it be harder to take photos of the people that I love? Meh, I have no idea, it just it! But anyway, I got some goodies, and I hope to get some more great ones of the cousins while we're all away together on the weekend.

First up is Tommy, doing his Rockstar! pose.

Bebe Isaac...

Gorgeous baby Isaac was booked in for a session with me in his first week of life, but unfortunately his mum, Cedar, got quite ill and went back to hospital. But she's home now and feeling a bit better and I was so thrilled to be able to shoot some photos for her.

It took us a little while to get Isaac off to sleep, but eventually at the hands of two persistent women, he gave in! He was such an adorable little thing, hardly heard a peep out of him at all, and I had such a lovely time with him and Cedar.

Thanks so much for allowing me into your lives, and I hope you enjoy your preview. The rest of your gallery will be ready soon.

Alex & Gus in love...

On the weekend I was extremely privileged to photograph the wedding of Alex and Gus down at Point Lonsdale. Being a night wedding, there was always going to be light issues and whilst they were very difficult to overcome, we also struggled with lack of space and lack of time (sheesh!) but the B&G as well as the bridal party were so so patient with me while we figured out settings and really made my job a lot of fun.

Alex and Gus, thank you so much for including me in your special day. I wish you guys a lifetime of wonderful memories together and all the happiness in the world. You deserve it.

Enjoy your preview (and your honeymoon!) and I'll be in touch when the rest of your gallery is ready.
