Merry Christmas!

December 24, 2009 – 1:53 pm

Hi everyone!

Just a quick admin note to say that the office of Iris Creations Photography is officially closed for the holidays!

I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL Christmas & a Very Happy (and SAFE) New Year.

We will be taking “emergency” calls and emails during this time, and by emergency, we refer to newborn sessions, Babies UNDER two weeks.  If your baby is born, please call ASAP to schedule your session.  We will be only offering STUDIO session (in Point Cook) during this time.

I’d also like to thank all my clients for their patience and understanding during the last two months, and especially with the latest dramas caused by the postal strike.  I hope that the working conditions and discussions go well for all involved, and that all mail and parcels are delivered ASAP!

The office will be closed for most of January, however calls and emails will be returned as soon as possible.  Voice mails and emails will not be checked on a daily basis.

2009 has been an amazing year, and 2010 will be just as exciting.  We have photographed many families, bellies and especially all our beautiful precious newborns!  If you are considering holding a session soon, please contact us to arrange as many dates in 2010 are already booking.

In the new year I will be showcasing a highlight package of 2009, and more exciting things are coming!  Of course thePROJECT is still going, and will be for the rest of summer, and I have lots of sessions still to showcase on the blog from the last (busy) two months!

And now, I’d like to showcase a modified version of our family Christmas Card (and especially for those family and friends who haven’t received theirs yet – SORRY!)  As many of my readers know my children are not fans of the camera, however I think we did fairly well to put the card together!

Once again, Merry Christmas!

Another instalment!

Slowly I’m getting Eman used to the idea of the camera.  Sometimes it takes a lot, but when you get images like this first one, it makes it all worth it!

Then it’s a cutee sleeping..

Ashton “rockin it out” in guitar hero

Eman with his new Wall-e computer toy.  It’s a laptop, and therefore he tells me that he has to do “work, just like you mummy”

And Ash relaxing on his new couch.  I had a great image which I would love to use, however for Ash’s privacy I wont publically, but, it’s a gorgeous image of him after his bath on his vintage toy car.  I might try to replicate the image only less, stark!

So, until the next addition, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas, and all the shopping is getting done!

thePROJECT – Melbourne Baby Photography

December 17, 2009 – 5:23 pm

Another installment.. Been an interesting few days weather wise!  From 39.2 degrees, to COLD and RAIN.

FUN!

Having already said goodnight… someone was still playing.. I believe the bed was being used as a trampoline!

Dec15

Yesterday with the help of Bec, the boys sorted out the playroom/office into just a playroom.  (Or should I say Bec did and the boys got in the way??!)  I totally LOVE the brightness of this image.  Shows how bright this room can be when I take the curtains down that prevented me from being able to work in that room during the day!

And finally, TV coma… and what matchbox toys are really for (when no one is “looking”)

Miss A, 6 weeks – Melbourne Baby Photography

December 17, 2009 – 1:46 pm

Little Miss A was a little gorgeous thing.  At 6 weeks we could be a little creative and have a cross between newborn style posing and the “older” baby session.  She was a good girl, and I have been informed slept beautifully all the way home!

Newborn Twins – Melbourne Newborn Photography

December 16, 2009 – 12:14 pm

These two are just gorgeous, and Mum is totally my new hero.  Both babies weighed over 7 pounds, and were born at 36 weeks!  They were individually bigger than my second born, and I struggled with him!

These gorgeous babies were co-photographed with dear friend Janet from Hyggelig Photography. And yes, it’s a bit overdue that I blog this session, I think I did promise to do so a WHILE ago.. but that’s what happens at this time of year!!!

Dec 14th – Uncle Richie came for a visit today.  If my kids are this good all the time, I might keep him around a lot more!  Lots of laughter!  Off frame, Eman is pulling faces at Uncle Richie…

Miss A, 4 weeks – Melbourne Newborn Photography

December 14, 2009 – 9:30 pm

This little girl was just adorable!  And to make the day even better, it was nice enough to head outdoors, something I LOVE to do during the warmer months!

Was nice to have fellow photographer Ev along for the session (ok he knew Mum…) Always amusing when a photographer of a different genre gets a taste at something different.  Although I think Ev will be sticking to land/seascapes rather than newborn babies!  Was nice to sort of blend the two of our specialities for this session.

Lovely to meet you Mum, I hope you enjoy the preview!

the PROJECT (cont) – Melbourne Baby Photography

December 13, 2009 – 10:17 pm

I’m really enjoying this project!  (Although I’m not sure the children are.  Poor Eman is getting a bit tired of seeing my camera in his face all the time,  I’ve spoken to Santa about perhaps one for Christmas.. a child’s camera of course)

I wanted to keep this project very real.  So first up we have Ash, not impressed about being told to sit down in the bath.  (Cause that is worth a tantrum don’t you think?!)

Eman, having fun at the park

Then proving how much he loves the camera.  Lying down on the Guitar Hero guitar with the comments of “I’m too tired for photos” (in a VERY dramatic voice)

Ash in total posing mode,

and lastly, playing with a jack-in-the-box in his cot.

So that was this week, stay tuned for a few more catch up blog “previews” and another installment of the PROJECT.

Miss P – 7 Months – Melbourne Baby Photography

December 8, 2009 – 3:48 pm

I’m GETTING there with blog previews.  Playing MAJOR catch up!  Most of my clients have seen their galleries already, so it’s more a case of sharing them here, because let me tell you, I have photographed some SERIOUSLY gorgeous babies over the last few weeks!

Here is gorgeous Miss P, who was also photographed at 10days & 5months.  Sure Mum & Dad will agree that she is growing up too fast!
