Cheeky chops!

Don't be deceived by the gorgeousness of these guys... They're very cheeky underneath those innocent grins!!! I've known their Dad for a long long time, and even though I don't get to see them all that often, I've known these kids since they were born... Imagine how flabbergasted I was when I realised the twins were almost 7!!!!! *gasp*

Here are two little tidbits you may be interested in...

1) A sure-fire way to get a young man of 7 or 9 to giggle is to ask about his girlfriend. Or girlfriends.

2) A sure-fire way to get ME to giggle is to start your email with "Kick it white girl". BWAHAHA!! Many (many) moons ago I was a little bit into (read: obsessed) with Vanilla Ice (anyone who laughs is dead meat) and it was a bit of a running joke between Don and I that was long forgotten.

Enjoy your preview guys. I'll be in touch again soon.

New blankies...

... to use with gorgeous newborns! I was very exciting to try out a couple of new blankets as props, and I was so lucky to have this stunning little guy as my model. Baby Coen was a couple of weeks old and a bit of a catnapper (I have 2 of those myself so know how tough it can be) so we really had to work for our shots. But we did get some lovely sleeping poses, and I'm thrilled with the result.

Thanks Ash and Mark for allowing me into your home and lives for our session. I hope you enjoy your preview. I'll be in touch soon with the rest of your gallery.

Bad blogger...

I'm trying desperately to catch up with all my work. I'm sooo behind... (SORRY)

Last weekend (yes the freezing cold revolting weekend from hell - except that the Cats won the grand final *YIPPEE*) I headed out to get some family shots of a long time friend and her family. Her Nan recently celebrated her 80th birthday, so we had all the fam there, including FOUR GENERATIONS of girls - how awesome is that?!?

I had a great time with them, even though we were all frozen solid.

Thanks heaps Janelle for asking me to capture these shots for your Nan... I hope you like your preview!

Those little newborns get me every time...

... 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!!!

This little cherub last week was oh so adorable. I've known his parents for a very long time, but we haven't seen each other since school so it was ace to be able to catch up, chat about old days, and compare notes on our kids. Fun fun. And teeny little Jayden was such a good sport, even though he was exhausted, he still gave us some lovely smiles and eye contact and I think he enjoyed kicking back in the beanbag.

Maria and Lee, thanks SO much for allowing me to capture some shots of your family. It really was so nice to see you both again. Enjoy your preview :-D

We had a bit of trouble pinning big brother Anthony down, but we got there eventually! Have a look at those eyes... wowsers!

Baby Jayden:

And I love how this shot shows a little snippet of family life - the bubba cries and all eyes just naturally go there and try to help, it's adorable:
