... Baby Lily, almost 7 months old, and pretty as a picture. Check out her big blue eyes and adorable rosy cheeks! I had so much fun photographing her - she was a total dream. Happy, smiley, oh so cute... Sheesh... can you tell I loved her!?!? Heheh.

You may remember the totally gorgeous Rachelle who had a maternity session with me some time ago? A little reminder is here: Rachelle

... of course it helps when you have such a stunning (and willing model)! Gorgeous Toni is due with her second baby in 2 weeks time, so I headed out to visit her yesterday for a little maternity shoot. When I noticed that the weather was going to be nice I suggested we head down to Williamstown beach and this is the spectacular result!

... CLUCK CLUCK!! I swoon and cluck over them, admire their little chubby (or not so chubby) legs, the sounds they make when they're feeding, the amazing eye contact, the way they'll hold your finger, their little startle reflex (oh man, that's cute)... And then they cry. And I thank the Universe that I can hand them back, lol!!!

... can be so unpredictable! Especially with Melbourne's weather... Don't get me wrong, I love our fair city, and wouldn't live anywhere else, but yes, our weather is very temperamental.

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of second shooting for Jessie at j [studios] and her new assistant Bree, and can I just say - I had a BALL! There was a lot of driving on the agenda, which would have been fine if we didn't get out to the beach for our shoot only to have to turn around and come back again because the heavens opened and we got absolutely drenched.

But nevertheless we got some awesome shots, had a ton of fun, and went home completely exhausted after a long day.

So here are some of the shots I got of the day of Chris and Kat's wedding. Jessie's photos can be found here: Jessie's blog

First up is the boss lady herself (just because she did it to me first :-p )

The bride and her girls:




The boys:


Some details:






Entering as a single woman, coming out as a wife (from the best seat in the house):




And the first dance:

So on the weekend I ventured just beyond my back gate to grab some shots of this awesome family as a surprise for their Mum/Nanny for her upcoming birthday. The weatherman promised me sunshine and wind... neither of which showed up until the shoot was finished (pity about the sun - VERY lucky about the wind - it was blowing a gale shortly after we finished)...

The last preview from my weekend shoots! (Told ya I was busy!) I had a heap of fun chasing 4yo Cooper and his (almost) 1yo sister Ellie around. Cooper was the master of the cheesey grin, but we did manage to get a few natural shots of him, and I think you'll agree that he's a big spunk! And well, what can I say about Miss Ellie - what a little doll! She was such a trooper. I had a lot of fun with both kids.
