It’s a common questions from me:  ”Can I take a photo of you”, today’s response however, was uncommon: “In the studio?” …

Swimming in the pool is very exhausting.  So is playing with friends.  Ash asked for a ‘nap’ and the ipad.  10 minutes later, even that was too exhausting..

Today when you woke up, it seemed you had grown a foot overnight.  The pants you wore last week (your favourites) are suddenly 4 inches too short.  Last year you were one of the shortest at school, I’m wondering if this year you’ll be one of the tallest in your class…

That scrunchy nose smile is gorgeous!

Sharon MallinJanuary 27, 2012 - 10:21 am

We have days like that here too. That first shot is divine – his smile is just gorgeous!

Definitely a rock star in the making!

the project – day 17 | Baby Photography Melbourne

No matter the temperature, my kids want in the pool.  Wrinkly feet, water logged.  Eman’s confidence in the water is already improving, day 1 he put his face in holding his nose, now he can swim underwater the length of the pool (it’s a few metres)  He’s so happy with himself, all I hear is “MUM!  look at this, MUM!  look at me!!”

Jennifer StocksJanuary 11, 2012 - 7:49 pm

Oh those divine wrinkly little toes are just so cute!!!

Chrissy TorneyJanuary 11, 2012 - 7:59 am

Love it!!!

Kristen CookJanuary 10, 2012 - 9:28 pm

Love wrinkly water toes!

Sharon MallinJanuary 10, 2012 - 9:07 pm

Look at those wrinkly toes :)

JosetteJanuary 10, 2012 - 8:45 pm

THIS is what school holidays are all about.

the project – day 16 | Baby Photography Melbourne

Every now and again (and during school holidays there are a few of these moments) the boys get on each others nerves.  Ok I’m lying, they are 3 and 5, it’s rather regularly.  Sometimes it will smooth over in a few seconds, some times it’s an all day thing.  And other times all they both want is time by themselves, but they just don’t say that to each other.  I could see one of these moments coming on, and decided to suggest to Ash to relax in Mummy’s bed with the iPad.  He didn’t need to be asked twice.

JosetteJanuary 10, 2012 - 12:42 am

your very wise to seperate them before they reach boiling point. cute bed too.

Kristen CookJanuary 9, 2012 - 10:55 pm

Some me time was obviously warranted (and I adore your netting on your bed BTW!)

Danielle StahlJanuary 9, 2012 - 10:44 pm

I completely understand! Gorgeous bed btw ;)

Sharon MallinJanuary 9, 2012 - 7:56 pm

We all need some alone time at times … he looks very chilled out and relaxed there :)

the project – day 15 | Baby Photography Melbourne

I was struggling a little with inspiration today.  But as Eman jumped on the trampoline, it hit me.   Next year we’ll be flying in the sky!

{Every Summer, I photograph my two boys, a photo every day}

the project – day 14 | Melbourne Baby Photography

Usually it’s me that gets eaten alive by mosquitoes, and it doesn’t help that I’m allergic to one breed of them (yup, there’s a few, stay away from the stripy ones!)  The kids, up until this week have escaped their blood sucking path.  Eman scared me one evening at midnight, out of bed, with red dots all over him.  “Mum I’m itchy”… well perhaps the 14 bites over your arms and face might be why..

The horrible little insect got him twice on his left eye.  The next morning it was slightly less swollen, but made his already LONG eyelashes stick out straight even more.  I couldn’t resist.  They are lashes every girl dreams of..

{Every Summer, I photograph my two boys, a photo every day}

Danielle StahlJanuary 9, 2012 - 12:30 pm

Why do the boys get all the luscious lashes?? Not fair!! haha x

Nicole RamsayJanuary 8, 2012 - 9:39 pm

Oh this is divine! Gorgeous!

Jennifer StocksJanuary 8, 2012 - 8:51 pm

Oh my good gosh. You’ve captured them perfectly!

Sharon MallinJanuary 8, 2012 - 8:49 pm

Poor little guy – not fun. Hope he feels better soon and isnt too itchy. His lashes are just divine!

Kristen CookJanuary 8, 2012 - 4:52 pm

Oh my… lashes INDEED! I hope he feels better soon x

Kristen CookJanuary 8, 2012 - 4:51 pm

Oh my….. lashes INDEED!!

the project – day 13 | Melbourne Baby Photography

I’m being naughty again and uploading two images!  For two years I’ve had the mini-pool in the garage waiting for the kids to be a bit older.  I’m a little paranoid around water with children, but after talking to my friend Chrissy, I could not resist.  We came home, and two hours later, the kids jumped in.  The girls raced over as well and we soon had 5 water-logged children splashing about having a ball.  Ash has always been a water-child, and hasn’t had a lot to do with water other than swimming in the bathtub or wading at the beach.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen this child smile and laugh as much as he did today.  He’s so used to be in the nude for bath time that he was NOT interested in a bathing suit!  This first one was the expression on his face 99.95% of the time.  The second, the only time he wasn’t smiling, well because, there was a plane.  And the world stops for planes..

{Every Summer, I photograph my two boys, a photo every day}

Chrissy TorneyJanuary 9, 2012 - 8:58 pm

These are completely and utterly ad.or.able.

Whack a shade cloth over it and let him be free!! LOL

Sharon MallinJanuary 7, 2012 - 10:26 pm

That is adorable, totally adorable! That smile make me smile :)

JosetteJanuary 7, 2012 - 9:57 pm

Oh I love these two shots together. Very nicely captured

KylieJanuary 7, 2012 - 9:28 pm

Oh yes – the world DOES stop for planes. And helicopters. LOVE his little face – so excited!

Danielle StahlJanuary 7, 2012 - 9:04 pm

Love that cute bum!! Beautiful Gem!

Jennifer StocksJanuary 7, 2012 - 8:38 pm

Absolutely gorgeous! The freedom of being nude is something I totally get ! Great images, and so happy to see water makes him smile so much!

ElJanuary 7, 2012 - 12:20 pm

Beautiful Gemma. Love his little hand pointing to the sky!

the project – day 12 | Melbourne Baby Photographer

Today we surprised the boys with a visit from our friend Bec, who lived with us for over a year when the boys were smaller.  Every time they see a plane, Ash will ask if Bec is on that plane.  On Friday driving down to Geelong, we passed the freeway exit to Avalon airport and they asked if we were picking up Bec.  Well weren’t they surprised this morning when in walked that very person!

I had worked hard all morning to darken the house, so the harsh sun today wouldn’t heat up the house too much, had the cooling and 3 fans pumping the cooler air around, as the temperature soared to 42 degrees (107.6 for those in the states!)  Of course Bec loves the heat and somehow convinced us to leave the comfort of the cool house to go for coffee, which is after all something we did a lot!

I have cheated today, and will be posting two images on the page on FACEBOOK, however for here, here’s my favorite of Eman and his iced chocolate.

{Every Summer, I photograph my two boys, a photo every day}

Sharon MallinJanuary 6, 2012 - 1:00 pm

He is so very handsome Gemma!

Jennifer StocksJanuary 5, 2012 - 10:26 pm

He is just the cutest little thing ever! hope you had a fab time with Bec!

KylieJanuary 5, 2012 - 10:03 pm

Oh gosh – isn’t he just a spunk! Yummo to the iced chocolate on a hot day!

Kristen CookJanuary 5, 2012 - 7:12 pm

He is such a gorgeous little man!

JosetteJanuary 5, 2012 - 11:23 am

I’m so glad you said iced chocolate…I can’t imagine drinking a hot beverage in heat like that. You have a super photogenic boy.
