  • Welcome…

    Thanks for visiting! So a blog you ask? Yep. I'm a blogger from way back. I simply can't do without one so it goes without saying that I have to have one solely dedicated to my love of photography! Here's insight into the reason behind my love of photography in case you're wondering as people often do. Aside from an outlet for my creative juices I guess what I love most about photography is the moment it freezes in time. Literally, a moment captured that otherwise could never be relived. A moment in time...Forever frozen...

    A smirk. A smile. A frown. A tear. A kiss. A cuddle. Laughter. Life.

    Make sure you drop by from time to time. You'll see my latest news (including products and specials), some neat session previews, information about custom photography and it goes with out saying, you'll also see lots of photos of my children because, shucks, I just love them so much and can't help but snap them constantly!

    Before I go...always remember, don't-ever-forget the simple things and the memories they create.

    Enjoy...

Carter {Brisbane Newborn Photographer}

Sigh. I really could just keep repeating myself over and over again with all the lovely newborns I have the pleasure to encounter. They are so amazing and I often find myself just spending a few minutes here and there staring at them, stroking their little heads and smelling their wonderful newborn scent. Seriously, and it may sound cliche but there is no where else I’d rather be spending my time.

I had the absolute pleasure of gracing little Carter’s life recently. He was as cute as a button – those lips! – and one that is incredibly loved.

When My Children Sleep
(Jamie Lynette Edson)

One of my favorite things at night
is to watch my children when they’re sleeping.
As I watch them one by one,
I wonder what dreams they are keeping,
and hope their little minds embrace
the good ones,
and keep out the bad- that come creeping.
The moonlight plays shadow games
on their faces, as an occasional smile
teases upon their lips.
I listen to their breathing,
as it slows and becomes deep.
This is a time I’ll always treasure,
and a peacful moment I’ll forever keep…

Day 19 {Brisbane Children’s Photographer}

There is one thing I’ll never have to worry about with Byron and that’s whether he’ll be a good reader. See, he is a good reader already. No, he is actually a great reader; reading well beyond his age bracket. I’m not sure why; I mean we never pushed reading or anything. Sure he has a heap of books around him, and yes we read to him when he was little, but nothing out of the ordinary or spectacular. He just likes to read. I’m inclined to believe it must be a natural ability for him. He’s always been adept in the way he communicates, even as a 12 month old. He communicated with such ease, as though the English language was second nature to him.

At the insistence of his teacher, who indicated Byron would enjoy it, she suggested we purchase him a children’s dictionary. I searched around for the perfect one, and I found it. It had a good combination of words to pictures (not too many pictures but still enough remembering he’s 6). For the first few nights after we gave it to him, he slept with it (no doubt he’ll kill me for revealing that). He insisted we write out big lists of words so that he could go and find them.  So long as it was included within the dictionary he would be able to locate it. He is a sponge for knowledge…always searching for new and exciting facts.

Sometimes, it will be way past his bedtime of 7:00pm and he’ll still be reading by the light shining in from the laundry. There are always books in his bed. It’s his favourite time to read. During the day, he would much prefer to kick a ball than to read, but the moment he hops into his bed, there has to be a book at the ready. Tonight it was a documentary book on animals he picked out at SeaWorld. Of course he would be the child to pick out the book when given the option to pick anything he wanted (under $10 of course).

No doubt, I’ll be hearing all about crocodile facts tomorrow.

Day 18 {Brisbane Children’s Photographer}

Oh my goodness, Lily and Byron are seriously driving me nuts. If he’s not teasing her; calling her stupid; or taking something off her, that’s ok because she is either  screaming, crying, scratching or throwing something his way. I actually thought I would have more time before the dreaded sibling rivalry would kick in. Oh how I was wrong. Over the last six months or so, sibling rivalry  has landed on my door step, revealing itself in all it’s glory. I’m telling you now, it ain’t pleasant and I wish it would go back to where it came from. Gosh…what will I be in for when Willow is old enough to fight back!?  Save me now…please…

Archie {Brisbane Newborn Photographer}

Little Archie decided he didn’t want to come into the world on his due date. Oh no, he decided another two weeks would be best. So, he waited (which seems to be the opposite of most of the babies I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this past month).

Even though he was certainly well cooked, he was still teeny tiny. At 6 days of age, he was just over 7 pounds. He is a much loved little chap!!
