Mr. B, 7 days – Newborn Baby Photography

September 28, 2009 – 11:58 am

Mr B was VERY alert for 7 days!!  Adorable, but ALERT.  Took a while for him to nod off, and when he did he was still letting me know what kind of photographs he wanted.. Simple, not too over the top.  No props!

Have to say it was nice to go back to basics and photograph a baby  - simply.  All about THEM.  Although the weather wanted to make it all about IT.  We had overcast, blaring sun, rain and darkness all in 2 1/2 hours!

Hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!

Miss M, 4 Months – Baby Photography Melbourne

September 27, 2009 – 3:44 pm

This gorgeous girl was such a total cutee!  And as I discovered at the end of our session, LOVES bubbles!  (But then who doesn’t!?)  With a wee bit of teething going on, we were pulling all tricks out of the hat to keep her hand out of her mouth for just a couple of shots!  And.. it worked!!  

Hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!

Miss S, 15 days – Newborn Baby Photography Melbourne

September 21, 2009 – 10:12 am

This little girl was such a fighter!!  Sleep, no thanks, I want to party the afternoon away!!  But, even two week olds give in eventually.  Well almost.  This little girl certainly made me work hard, but oh she was just way too cute, and when you see Mum & Dad, you’ll see why ;)

And her name is just fantastic, and very fitting, it means “beautiful” in Arabic? (correct me if I’m wrong Mum!)

You guys are a beautiful family!  I can’t wait to show you the rest of the gallery!  Thanks for your patience with the preview!

Technical Issues & furry friends

September 21, 2009 – 9:38 am

Just a quick post, to say we were experiencing some technical issues with the computer system.

THANKFULLY, we have a very reliable back up system, so there is not stress of loss of images!  So no-one panic!!

However some emails from Thursday – Saturday are missing in the void, so if you have emailed me via the website, or directly on those days, PLEASE email me again, or call on 0423 323 185.

We are working on digging those emails out, however not sure how that will go!

Obviously there are some delays in production as we come back online!!

And because I cannot end a post without some images…

I’m going to show off my new baby!  As many of my blog readers will know last month we lost our youngest kitty.  We were hoping to get a friend for our eldest cat Sebbie, but also wanted to adopt a kitten so the boys could grow up with it, and it wouldn’t get too skittish with their likely roughness!  My youngest is just so in love with her, spends hours chasing her around!

So meet little Ophelia!  I have an absolute love for Shakespeare and also John William Waterhouse paintings, of which Ophelia appears a lot!  My cats have always been named after Shakespearean characters, or myths and being that she is soooooooo pretty, Ophelia just fitted beautifully!

There will be more images coming ;)

Newborns, Newborns Everywhere! – Melbourne Baby Photographer

September 20, 2009 – 2:19 pm

Ready for a big post!?

A few weeks ago (yes yes yes I’m behind on blogging… but I am catching up!) I had the pleasure of attending a seminar by Kelley Ryden, a US based photographer who is a fantastic baby photographer.  It was an amazing workshop to be a part of and attended by photographers around the country!  Two of whom have recently had babies themselves and willingly let us photograph their babies as well!

Thanks Kelley for a wonderful weekend!  And now onto the images that I took (well some of the THOUSANDS!!)

Miss P, 5 months – Melbourne Baby Photography

September 17, 2009 – 11:52 am

You may remember Miss P’s newborn session HERE.  Here she is again at 5 months!  I think we may have been a wee bit tired when I arrived, because after a while she made sure the camera went away and went off to sleep with no fuss!

I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!

Couldn’t help myself! – Melbourne Baby Photography

September 16, 2009 – 10:10 am

I simply had to post a few more from Miss J’s session.  I have totally fallen in love with these two for a few reasons.  A, She sat (kind of) happily in my pram (which I’ve had for a number of years, however it hasn’t had MUCH use in photography until lately!) and also because of the expression on her face.  Now 99.5% of the time we try to get our children to “SMILE!” for the camera.  Saying this to them, is not going to make them smile, normally it just makes them more nervous!  As I say to all my clients, I’m not here to take a gallery full of images where the baby is “smiling” for the camera.  Sure, smiles are REALLY important and who doesn’t love a baby with their mouth smiling gummy goodness, but it’s images like these below that really make me tick :)

Showing a baby’s true personality, expressions they use day to day whilst discovering the world and in the process making artworks for your wall.

Mr J, 10 weeks (days!) – Newborn Baby Photography

September 15, 2009 – 3:29 pm

This gorgeous little boy was just a DREAM to photograph!  TECHNICALLY he was 10 1/2 weeks old, however I photographed him 10 days after his due date.. little man was in a hurry to enter the world, being born at 29 weeks gestation..

He was amazing, would occasionally open his eyes before heading back off to sleep!

I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!
