A day at the beach {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 02:19:51 +0000

I try very hard to never plan any sessions I go to, whether that be a newborn or family shoot. If you plan a session too much, you’re only ever going to be disappointed with the outcome because you’ll feel like you never achieved what you set out to. So, if you have limited preconceived notions of what you want to achieve, you can’t ever be disappointed. It’s ok to plan elements of the shoot as in what you wear and where your shoot, but as for the subject matter, I try never to plan anything. Children and newborns are unpredictable – they don’t follow rules and guidelines too well. Often making them do what you want them to do creates stress for everyone involved and doesn’t make for the loveliest of pictures. They want to do their own thing, when they want to do it. And you know what..? That’s fine with me. This is what I absolutely love about photographing children in particular, they create their own story. A story unique to them and their family.

Little Jacob, created his on story the day we went along to the beach. You see, he had never been to the beach before. He loved the sand, but when he spotted the water he was off and no matter how many times we turned him away from the water, he walked right back. According to him, that’s where he wanted to spend the afternoon. And that’s where we spent a good portion of it. I feel so privileged to have been along for the ride, capturing his first real experience at the beach, in the waves. How cool to have that documented for prosperity.

I don’t believe I’ve shared any pictures of my Byron as a toddler, but picture little Harry below and you will get a fair idea. He had the whitest hair and the bluest eyes, just like Harry. It therefore comes as no surprise that I think little Harry is adorable! And equally adorable are the portraits of him with his mummy. There is nothing like a mum and baby son portrait – I only wish I had some like this of my boy and I when he was 13 months…

Sunshine and Happiness {Brisbane Family Photographer}

The last time I photographed this family was way back when Madi was around 6 months old. Now, 2 years on, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the latest little addition to this beautiful family – little Miss Sophie, 7 months.

It was very exciting to spend an afternoon with them once again. See, it’s exciting because they live all the way in London…you couldn’t really get further away from little ol’ me if you tried. So, I’m rather fortunate to have had the opportunity to capture them not once, but twice.

Now they’re back in old London town, and I bet they’re missing our beautiful sunny Queensland weather already…how could you not?!

Rejoice in Family {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Albert Einstein once said “rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!“. I thought it so fitting for this beautiful family I met a few weeks back. They rejoiced in little Tommi. It was obvious for all to see. No doubt there will be some more rejoicing in a few months time when they welcome the newest little addition to their family. I certainly had the loveliest of afternoons, spending it with them.

In a blink of an eye they grow up. From a little newborn to a big little person.

Her 12 months have been full of delight, happiness and love – I saw it and I felt it. I so enjoy being reunited with the little ones I’ve met before.

Happy birthday sweet Maya. x

And some fun with a very special cake…I can attest it was delightful!

It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon; spending it with little miss Sophie – all 18 months of wisdom and cuteness.

She…

Smiled.
Laughed.
Talked, and she talked well for her age.
Showed me her ‘pink’ bear.
Ate pancakes.
Loved cuddles with her mum and dad.
And was as pretty as a picture.

Double Delight {Brisbane Baby Photographer}

Double delight…imagine it for a moment. One little boy and one little girl…it can’t get much better then that. Watching them grow, laugh and learn at the same time. Totally amazing and too delightful for words.

Little Zali and Archie are going to have some fun growing up together, I have no doubt about that. They were just the most gorgeous little people…!

I can hardly believe it’s been six months since Miss Scarlett last resided in my beautiful pram. Actually what makes it beautiful is her in it. I may be biased, but I highly doubt there would be any ongoing dispute, that sweet Scarlett is anything but extraordinary. From her amazing eyelashes to her cherub lips. She is simply divine.

Much love my sweet niece. xx

Family {Brisbane Photographer}

Photographing extended families is not the easiest thing in the world to do! When you get lots of faces it becomes quite difficult to co-ordinate everything so when Natalie asked me to photograph her beautiful family I was a tad nervous. Of course, in hindsight I need not have worried as they were the most perfect of families to photograph, making everything so much easier then I expected. Little Ivy and Hartley were of course my favourites of the day (no offence to the big people!!). They were delightfully cute and I LOVE cute little people. Ivy, soon to be big sister, and whom you might remember as a newborn, has grown so big and is still too adorable for words. It must run in the family because Hartley is going to make a few eyelashes shutter when he’s older! No doubt about it…

Gorgeousness {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Such a beautiful, happy Sunday.
The sun shone bright.
The air was warm.
An absolutely perfect family joined me that afternoon.
We laughed.
And laughed some more.
The sand was warm between our toes.
And the water just as nice.
Before to long, the sun was saying goodbye.
And I was saying goodbye too.
Until next time…
