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.

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

August 17, 2010 – 2:39 pm

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

Megan is having a baby! {Sydney Maternity Photographer}

July 11, 2010 – 5:17 pm

I just love shooting pregnant bellies. I love meeting mummy’s-to-be and hearing all about their pregnancy stories. Im finding not too many of my clients book in a maternity shoot – either they contact me after the baby is born, or they’re just not too into it, which is shame, because I think its just beautiful to capture the miracle of a growing belly. Megan contacted me a few months back to book in her pregnancy and then newborn shoot. As I was driving to meet Megan on Friday afternoon, there were raindrops on my windscreen…. We had ‘rainchecked’ our shoot from the day before due to rain. But as Megan’s little girl is due in about 2 weeks – we decided to give it a go…. I came prepared with an umbrella just incase! BUT, we only got a few sprinkles while we were together, so I managed to capture this gorgeous belly!

Hello Megan! You’re going to be a yummy mummy!

Aimee bought me these gorgeous hot pink ‘Roses Only‘ roses for my birthday last week. I grabbed 6 of them before walking out the door to Megans shoot (and screamed ‘ouch’, as the thorns were MASSIVE) – they just made the day a little brighter, and seeing Megan is having a girl, I thought they were the prefect prop for her shoot.

Megan, it was really lovely to meet you, on that cold, windy & rainy day! Lets hope your heating is working when I come and photograph your little baby girl in a few weeks Enjoy your photos, and check your in-box for your slideshow! xx

Our Family Photos {Sydney Wedding & Portrait Photographer}

July 6, 2010 – 9:51 am

I love my job. Ive said it before, and i’ll say it again – I love my job. The absolute best thing in the world is being able to capture precious & beautiful moments for awesome people. Whether it be 2 people inlove – having fun at their engagement-shoot, or straight after the ceremony, where they’re so ecstatic and over the moon that they’ve finally said ‘I-do’, or parents-to-be – watching the miracle of a growing tummy, and then being able to capture the joy of ‘mummy & daddy’ experiencing parenthood together! Or just capturing every day families being ‘a family’ together – playing with the dog, throwing leaves at each other, reading a story…. just being able to capture the bond a family has, makes me smile.

But, to be honest, after a shoot, when Im downloading the memory cards onto the computer, my smile sometimes turns upside down, as I don’t have these photos of my family. Sure, we’ve got the wedding photos, the holiday snaps, the ‘special event photos’, and then when Tom came along there are a stack of him, but there aren’t too many of us, as a family, as we are right now.

So… when my good friend (& awesome photographer) Cathy phoned to say she was coming down from Port Stephens for the weekend, and suggested catching up for dinner, I had a better idea. Its actually my birthday TODAY, and I thought the perfect pressie from Stu to me would be some family photos. Luckily Cathy agreed – and last weekend we had an awesome photo shoot.

(Oh, and I had all the dramas that my past, and probably future clients have – does my bum look big in that, you’ve got toothpaste on your top, I don’t want to see Toms nappy, there is duck poo on the ground, what if the colours don’t look good in the photos, what if its raining, and can you photoshop out the blind pimple……. but hey, at the end of the day, Ive got photos of my family, and they’ll be cherished forever.)

Thank you Cathy from Catherine De La Hunty Photography for taking all of the below photos, looking forward to shooting with you again soon! Oh, and if you’re wanting a shoot in the Port Stephens / Nelson Park area – give Cath a buzz – tell her I sent you.

Without further adeu, here is my beautiful family, as it is right now:

This next one is getting printed out large for the grandparents, and great-grand mother!

This photo isn’t that Fab, but check out my hair!!! LOVE IT! Ive never had thick, long hair before – im loving it! It helped that it was trimmed & coloured the day before the shoot, thanks Louise!
