Rockstar Brody and his fab family! {Sydney Family Photographer}

September 2, 2010 – 3:12 pm

A month or so ago now it was Red Nose Day Australia.  Like so many of these ‘days’, I never seam to find out about them until they’re well and truly over, which drives me NUTS! Anyway, I did find out about Red Nose Day the morning of, and put a shout-out on our Facebook Page for anyone wanting to book a shoot, that we’d donate 50% of the session cost to Red Nose Day. Anyway, within about 5 minutes, Annali had booked in her shoot! So warm & fuzzy’s all around :) Facebook is a funny thing – Annali had seen Louises photos from April (as they’re Facebook Friends, thru Louises sister-in-law), and since booking in her shoot, ive gotten to know her a little, so I was really looking forward to meeting her and her family.  This shoot was supposed to be earlier in August, but then she found out her folks were coming down from the sunny Gold Coast last weekend AND it was also her mums birthday on the Sunday, so she pushed the shoot back a few weeks, to include her parents.

So finally, last Saturday, I got to meet Annali, her husband Derek and the cutest little 3 and a half year old – Brody. Check him out:

I really love this shot of Brody looking at the camera, while the rest of the family are looking at him!

Brody with Gran (Margaret) and Papa (Barrie) – a big happy birthday to Gran for last Sunday too!

I could tell you what Brody is doing here, but that would give away my ‘photographing children’ secret ;)

Believe it or not, but Gran & Papa are on Facebook! So this blog post has a few extra family photos , so they can see the photos from the Gold Coast.

What little boy doesn’t like doing ‘noses’ with their dad – and Happy Fathers Day for Sunday, Derek!

Not too sure if Brody gets his gorgeous eyes from mum or dad…..

A kiss for mum!

Doh! Lipstick!

We got out the bubble machine for a few photos, but unfortunately it was a little bit broken, the bubbles decided to come out in massive clumps. Its currently sitting in my laundry tub waiting for a bath :)

So then Brody got out some of his musical instruments (and yes, that is liquid from the bubble machine on his arm)

Check out the whole family grooving away!

Love this one of Brody and his Papa.

And 2 more quick photos of Brody, you’re a gorgeous kid!

Annali, your family is just lovely, I had a ball spending Saturday afternoon with you all. I hope your mum had a lovely birthday on Sunday, and im glad Brody slept well Saturday night :)

Check your inbox for your slideshow, and Im looking forward to shooting Dereks side of the family for you soon too.

Bon Voyage Vikram! {Sydney Family Portrait Photographer}

September 2, 2010 – 3:06 pm

Last Sunday, at 7:15am my phone rang. I was still waking up, so I let it go to to message bank (hey – it was Sunday!). At 8am (& after a coffee) I listened to the message – a frantic ‘we need family portraits taken today’ message from a man called Arun. I phoned him back around 8:15 to get the full story, and then met him and his family at 9:15 for family portraits! Arun’s eldest son, Vikram, was leaving the following day to go to Paris for a year (and then onto New York – lucky bugger!), so they wanted to capture the family as they are right now. So here they are – Vijay, Arun, Lata & Vikram:

As Vikram was leaving the following day, he was the star of the shoot.

But I always *try* to get a nice one of mum & dad too!

It was great to meet you all, and I hope there weren’t too many tears at the airport on Monday! Vikram, you’ll have a ball overseas, and you’ll love it even more when your mum & dad come to visit….  :)

Check your inbox for your slideshow, Arun – enjoy your photos! :)

Amanda & Jase are married!! {Sydney Wedding Photographer}

August 26, 2010 – 11:42 am

Ive gotten to know Amanda & Jase a little over the last few months (since their pre-wedding photos back on what was possibly the hottest day in December).  I was really, really looking forward to their wedding day – I knew it would be stress-free, and just beautiful. Amanda & Jason are just so down to earth…. quick story, I ran into Amanda at a Zumba class back in May, and introduced my friend to her by saying ‘This is Amanda, im shooting her wedding next year’ and Amanda’s like ‘um, its actually this year, in 3 months!’ – in my defence, I was sick, and it was during a coughing attack – but even with her photographer forgetting which year it was, she was still so cool, calm & collected :)

Anyway, back to Amanda & Jase.  Im not sure how many of you know this, but their wedding was actually all planned BEFORE Jason popped the question.  It was the big joke at the Engagement Shoot – they weren’t actually ‘engaged’. So they’d booked the reception, the ceremony venue, the photographer, and a bunch of other things, without actually having the shiny ring on her finger! But the circles all joined up on Jasons birthday this year, which happened to be on their 5th anniversary! Amandas e-mail to me after the proposal: ‘We went out to lunch yesterday for Jase’s Bday and our 5 year anniversary. Berowra Waters Inn. It was lovely food. Expensive, but we usually try and treat ourselves for our anniversary. Anyway, after lunch we went for a walk out on the balcony and jase got down on one knee and said “Well Amanda, you’ve been waiting long enough…..Will you marry me?” I said I’d think about it. Just kidding lol. I said yes! It was a lovely day!’

And so was their wedding – here are a few of my favourites from their day, starting with Amandas gorgeous flowers, from Nati Bros Roses at Middle Dural:

Amandas ‘step-mum’ Sandy helping her into the dress THAT SANDY MADE. Seriously. Way Cool.

Amanda was SO nervous – you cant tell tho.

The gals – friend Jackie & sister Anna.

Amanda & Bryan, her dad.

My awesome friend Cathy was my 2nd shooter on the day – she took this shot, just gorgeous.

The ceremony was at Fagan Park, Galston.

The boys – Chris, Darren & Jason

Huummmmmmmm – Sydney Hummer Limousines

Ready to walk down the isle, and Bryans on Facebook!  (Joke, im sure he’s just putting it on silent)

For anyone following us on the Tiger Lily Photography Facebook Page, you’ll remember my post from earlier in the week regarding the ‘random’ in the tracksuit with the dog. Well, this is him.  Anyone else laughing?

Father & daughter (without the ‘random’)

The gorgeous location – thanks to Cathy, my 2nd shooter for grabbing this shot!

Married!

After the family photos, we got some gorgeous portraits in the late afternoon sun.

Hubba Hubba!

The whole party – Jackie, Darren, Bride & Groom, Anna & Chris.

And an impromptu kiss!

As we were chasing the last of the sun, Amanda has picked the gardens she wanted to go to – the blossoms being the first! A gust of wind took off with Amandas veil, and we got some gorgeous sunflare in these next photos….

Amandas platinum gold ring was made using her grandmothers diamond.

Hello pretty lady….

There’s Jasons laugh from the pre-wedding shoot!

And theres the wind again!

Gorgeous late winters afternoon light, for a gorgeous bride.

By this time its almost 5pm, and the girls are freezing, and the boys hadn’t offered their jackets yet. Sometimes the photographer just has to step in and rectify things…. :)

Did I say how gorgeous her flowers were?

Married! Yee-Haa!

Amanda & Jasons reception was held at the Mandalay at Lane Cove – a gorgeous old manor home.

And their wedding cake was made by their family friend Beverly.

First dance – ah, theres nothing sweeter.

Amanda & Jase – thank you, for allowing me to photograph your gorgeous wedding last weekend. Cathy & I had a ball meeting your friends & family, and witnessing the love they have for you both. Im very VERY jealous that you’re both drinking Pina Coladas at the Maldives as we speak, but I cant wait to hear all about it! Lots of love xxxx

Oh, and check your in-box for a link to your slideshow, and if you were a guest at the wedding, shoot me thru an e-mail (lauren@tigerlilyphotography.com.au) with Jasons surname, and I’ll send the slideshow your way too!

The lovely Nicole!! {Sydney Photographer}

August 25, 2010 – 3:07 pm

Do you remember last Thursday? It was that gorgeous winters day, that was more like mid-spring, so warm with a beautiful blue sky. I think it hit about 25 degrees in Sydney (I remember my Facebook status was ‘Its 8am and im wearing a T-shirt & Jeans – go Sydney!). And there was wind, oh my lord, there was wind! Anyway, Nicoles shoot was booked in for that Thursday afternoon, and I enjoyed cruising to Bicentennial Park at Homebush with the sunroof open :)

Nicole was after some headshots for herself, her family, and her future employers – so headshots she got:

And then Nicole started laughing…..

And laughing….. And the wind was going crazy…..

And when the wind died down, we got some more shots of Nicole & her beautiful smile.

There’s that smile again (& the wind!)

I spied a tattoo on Nicoles arm (it means Courage, and she’s got a few more – thats courageous!!). We got talking, and it seams Nicole & I both have a similar tattoo on the same part of our body! And no, those photos didnt make the blog :)

Yup, thats Nicole. And yup, she’s in a wheelchair. And yup, she’s pretty awesome.

Thank you Nicole, for allowing me to take these headshots for you. I hope they were just want you were after! It was awesome to meet you last Thursday, and I hope Sarah didn’t catch a cold after her dip in the water! L. xx

Little Lila Rose – just on 5 months old {Sydney Childrens Photographer}

August 18, 2010 – 6:17 am

So, after Belindas Family Portrait shoot in the late afternoon winter sun a few weeks back, Belinda sister Krissy contacted me to take a few photos of her adorable 5 month old little girl – Lila Rose (or Liro for short).  So after Islas newborn shoot (above), I drove back home, downloaded the photos, made my 2nd cheese toastie for the day, backed up the photos, grabbed the camera, and was then on my way to meet Krissy & Lila. The weather had turned pretty horrible by this stage in the afternoon (freezing cold, and a few rain drops), I knew we wouldnt have long to shoot, but I did manage to get a few gorgeous photos of Krissy & her little girl (5 months is such an adorable age to photograph…. love it!)

How adorable is her outfit! LOVE IT!

Love this first photo – drool & all!

Krissy, little Liro is just adorable, and you’re a gorgeous mother to her! Thank you for entrusting me to take these beautiful memories for you. L. xx
