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

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}

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! :)

Spring Special!! {Sydney Family Photographer}

Pinch & a punch – its the first day of Spring!! To celebrate we’re offering a September Special – have a look below for details.

We don’t have too many dates left in September, so if you ask really nicely, we may extend this into October for you :) Just a reminder too, that if you’re wanting photos to use for Christmas Cards or gifts, you should book in now – we’re stopping shooting on Sunday 21st November this year for Christmas, and that day, plus a handful of other dates in November, have already been booked!

Looking forward to shooting you & your family soon :) Oh, and don’t hesitate to forward this around to any friends or relatives who you think may be after some gorgeous professional photos of their family.

Happy Spring! (** Note, you’ll need to BYO Telfast or Claratyne to these sessions, he he)

The lovely Nicole!! {Sydney Photographer}

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}

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

Baby Isla Louise – just 11 days new {Sydney newborn photographer}

Remember this gorgeous belly:

Well, a few weeks after this shoot (and a week and a bit past her due date!), little Isla Louise came into the world, and her mummy & daddy fell inlove instantly! Last Thursday, when Isla was all of 11 days old, I went over to Megans house to capture ‘mummy & baby’, and this beautiful stage of their life. I was very, VERY surprised to find Megan & Isla home alone…. my gosh, if someone had left me alone that early into ‘being a new mum’ I would have freaked! Luckily, Megan was blessed with a little angel, who slept for the whole 2 hours I was there! Seriously! I don’t even know what colour her eyes are – she kept them shut the whole time. Megan actually apologised to me, and I was like ‘love, seriously, NEVER say sorry because your baby is asleep!’ :) Anyway, check out this gorgeous little cherub, Isla Louise:

Isla making a precious sound in her sleep – love the expression on Megans face!

It was so cold & windy last Thursday, that we kept Isla’s gorgeous outfit on the whole shoot – sorry, no nudie baby shots here! :)

Tiny fingers!

I put Isla on her belly – the first time she’d been on her tummy. She LOVED it – didn’t even stir!

Yummy Mummy.

Megan bought out a box full of headbands she bought (or was given) – we played!

It was freezing, but we decided to step outside for a few shots

Lucky we did – this one is my fav :)

Thank you, Megan, for picking me to photograph these precious moments in your life. Isla is just adorable, you’ve given birth to an angel. Looking forward to seeing you in about 4 months, for Isla’s next ‘A year in the Life’ shoot! L. xx
