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

August 17, 2010 – 2:39 pm

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

Balloons, Lollipops & cute kids, in the gorgeous winter sunshine {Sydney Family Portrait Photographer}

August 11, 2010 – 1:49 pm

Another one of my rain-checked shoots finally got ‘shot’ last Saturday afternoon…… Belinda & I have been planning this shoot for a while now. Ive shot her and her family a few times in the past – portraits when Christian was about 2 (3 years ago), then newborn photos of Ellie almost 2 years ago, and a really fun shoot when Ellie was about 6 months old, where we put a park bench in the middle of the bush in Summer (not to mention Ellie’s Christening & a few of Christians birthday parties!). Time for some updated portraits, but this time Belinda wanted to do something a little different. A princess skirt and balloons for Ellie and lollipops for both the kids. This was the result………

She LOVED the balloons! And what (almost) 2 year old girl doesn’t like getting dressed up in a pretty skirt and knock-out boots!

Sibling love….

The whole family…. I love these next 3 photos:

Time for the lollipops (which probably wasn’t the best idea in the world – sure, they look darn cute, but do you know how sticky these things are…..

And how the blue food colouring just kind hangs around….. (note about this next photo….. at the end of a family portrait shoot, I ask the parents how much editing they’d like me to do of their photos. I always pump the colour a bit, make the eyes sparkle, etc, but I always ask if they want blemishes removed first. In this case Belinda said no – she wanted to remember (almost 5 year old) Christian just the way he is now – scar over the eye & all!

How cute are these kids (and how much do they love their lollipops!)

The gorgeous family of 4.

Time to go for a walk in the late afternoon sun.

LOVE this next photo:

Balloon time again!

The last photo of the day

Thanks, Belinda & John, for asking me to photograph your gorgeous family again – Looking forward to the next time!! xx

Love the addition of balloons to the photos, it really captures their youth and joy. Great colors in a relaxed setting.

2010 Christmas Photo Sessions {Sydney Family Photographer}

August 4, 2010 – 7:27 am

Last December, during the first week to be exact, we were inundated with enquiries for Christmas Photo Sessions. It was a real rush, and we had to turn a few people away as we were fully booked. So this year we’re getting in early to remind you to ‘BOOK IN NOW’ if you’re wanting to have some professional photos taken for Christmas Cards or Gifts. Details below:

Christmas 2010 Photo Sessions

$150 for weekend session / $120 for weekday session

(Best time is late afternoon, for an hour or 2. Immediate Family only – which always includes the dog!)

You’ll get 1×8″x12″ or 8″x10″ enlargement of your choice (with the option to purchase more prints / photos on disc / canvas’s / coffee-table books, etc)

You’ll also get a 6″x4″ Christmas Card jpeg – your choice of photo, and a choice of 30 designs (example below)

The last day of shooting will be Sunday 21st November, with orders in by Monday 29th November.

All prints / discs will be delivered to you by Tuesday 14th December (it takes a little longer for coffee table books, albums & canvas’s – so if you think you’ll be wanting these, make sure your session isn’t booked in for too late, so we have time to order)

We’re currently booked out for weekend sessions until mid-September, and have a few other commitments later in the year, which means there are only about 15 weekend days available.

Scary, huh.

Book now to secure your spot – e-mail: lauren@tigerlilyphotography.com.au or phone 0416 006 779 / 8824 7895

Sydney Metro, but we’re happy to travel a little further, if you’re happy to pay

Please note, we also had a lot of enquiry for extended family shoots last year, for those families that are home for the holidays. We’ll still be shooting in December & January, however the above dates are the cut-off dates for prints & photos to be delivered before Christmas.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to ’shooting’ some of our gorgeous existing clients, and meeting & shooting some new ones! Lauren.

Kaylene, Daniel & the girls…. {Family Portraits Sydney}

July 19, 2010 – 1:55 pm

On one of the windy, WINDY days we had last week, I met Kaylene & Daniel and their family: Simone who is 15, 3 year old Alyssa, and baby Olivia. Kaylene works with LeeAnn, and had seen her photos on Facebook – thanks for the referral, LeeAnn Even tho it was in the late afternoon, and it was pretty chilly out, these guys were awesome (I always know a shoot is going to be a good one, when the baby turns up in a Parramatta Eels bib – much to Kaylenes disgust!) I was warned not to use the word ‘smile’, but to use ‘giggle’ instead to get little Alyssa’s attention….. well, it worked! She would have to be one of the happiest 3 year olds ive met! Check out this cutie:

And this is little Olivia (not so little, actually – she is a gorgeous chubba bubba!). This poor little thing was struck down with whooping cough, and spent about a month in hospital, when she was around 4 months old. My heart was breaking as Kaylene & Daniel were telling me about it, so many yucky things has happened to this little princess in her short, short life, but she’s on the mend now, thank goodness. A note to everyone – she contracted whooping cough AFTER having her shots – apparently the shots don’t stop you getting it, it just means the illness doesn’t come on as strong as it would without having the injections. I would hate to think what would have happened to Olivia if she hadn’t had her injections – so please, PLEASE, immunise your kids.

Hello Simone! Simone bought a friend to the shoot (I think it was Kaylenes suggestion – to make Simone smile) – well, it worked! And thanks to Kaitlyn for your awesome Rick Astley dancing.

Back to the family stuff….

Super Olivia!

The gorgeous family of 5.

Kaylene bought out a ‘family heirloom’ dress that she’s got photos of the other 2 girls wearing. Olivia wasnt to impressed…..

The Neilson family…..

Thanks Kaylene, it was great to meet you and your family last week, I hope none of you (especially Olivia!) caught a cold. I hope you enjoy your photos – check your inbox for your slideshow L. xx

Lisa, Micko & the girls {Sydney Family Portrait Photographer}

July 14, 2010 – 1:25 pm

Im not sure what to write here that I havent already written about these guys…… Ive known Lisa & Mick for years and years and years. I met them both back in 1997 when we all worked at the same real estate agency. All of my family, and many of my friends know them, and I know all of their families, and most of their friends…. they’re the kind of friends that have blended into family, rather than friends (yup, I think they’re the only ones that have been at my ‘family’ birthday dinner the last, what, probably 10 or so years – before Stu even, ha!). Anyway, I guess if they’re family, their 2 little girls are like the niece’s that I don’t have. 2 and a half year old Sophie, and little Caitlin, who was born last November. Just adorable. Soph generally needs a little warming up for the camera, but not on this day, she’s was loving her ‘super model’ poses – check her out, with her mummy, daddy & baby sister!

Sophie was sticking her belly out like daddy does, here.

The 2 girls.

‘KK’

For some reason, Mick thought it would be AWESOME to teach Sophie how to do ‘thumbs up’ just days before their photo-shoot…. good one Micko!

Thanks Lisa & Mick, for letting me take some updated family photos. Next time we’ll do it on a warmer day… xx
