My niece is visiting from Sydney this week.  We’ve had a great time showing her around Canberra and spending time with her.  She has been a lifesaver for me in the past week as I needed a babysitter at the last minute!  She did a great job.  She’s turning 15 soon and I thought I would do a little photoshoot for her while she was here.  We had plans to do them outside but the weather hasn’t been co-operating the past few days.  Raining like crazy!  We ended up in the studio in the end.  That’s okay though, I think they turned out great.  She looks so pretty against the blue backdrop.  LOVE those freckles!  Here are a couple of snaps from our session together yesterday:

I hope you like them Steph!

Wonderful web-site, where did you find that knowledge in this page? I am pleased I discovered it though, ill be checking back again soon to find out what other content you have.

I had the cutest little seven month old girl in the studio today for a mini session.  Just love that big gummy grin!  Here are a few photos from our session today:

Thanks for coming by today Jen!  I had a great time with your sweet little one.  I’ll be in touch!

These are beautiful! Thank you so much.

One of my maternity clients got to welcome home her newborn baby girl recently.  She is so cute.  I had the opportunity to photograph her on Thursday.  She was 12 days old and ready to face the world.  They were here for 3 1/2 hours and she only slept for about 5 minutes during that time.  I guess she didn’t want to miss out on the party?  he he  Anyway, we didn’t get a chance to get a bunch of different shots but be did get the ones that mum wanted and that’s all that matters, right? : )

Here’s a look back at mum’s bump before baby arrived on the scene.  I love this shot.  I got it printed on metallic paper and have it displayed in the studio.  It looks fantastic in print!:

Here she is! I decided to go all creative on this one again. Love how it matches the bump shot:

Here’s a closer look at the little cutie! Dressed in some booties to match her nursery. : )

This shot was one that mum wanted as well. This was taken in a bassinet that mum slept in when she was a baby too. How cool is that?

One last close up, just cuz. She looks so peaceful.

I hope you like them Meg! I’ll let you know when the rest are ready.

Time for another self-portrait update.  I got my hair cut, so thought I better update my picture on my website.  I don’t want to confuse people when they see me in person!  Just a quick one.  I got a LOT of hair cut off.  Here is the before and after:

Still not loving it.  She cut off more than I wanted.  Oh and yes, I wear glasses most of the time.  : )

P.S. - I’m feeling OLD!!

I’ve been waiting for this little guy to make his appearance.  We were suppose to do his session two weeks ago but he didn’t want to come out of mama’s belly!  He ended up being 10 days overdue.  What a cheeky little guy.  He is officially 9 days old today and as sweet as can be.  This little guy has been booked in for four more sessions in the next year so you’ll be seeing a lot of him.  I’m looking forward to watching him grow!  Here are a few shots of him from today:





I hope you like what you see so far Gwen!  Looking forward to our three month session already! : )
