thePROJECT – Melbourne Baby Photography

I KNOW!  I’m horribly, horribly behind.  January is always like that.  I have really, really good excuses!  I’ve been away (as mentioned in previous post) to Tasmania, then 36 hours later went on a little road trip with Janet (which confirmed that yes, Ash does get carsick) and then been playing catch-up around the house… Have I mentioned before that I’ve decided I’m domestically challenged?  Well I think I am.  Either that, or my family can mess up the house quicker than I can clean it.  Or a combination of both!

Ok so instead of writting rubbish, I’ll post some images.  Sorry everyone but there’s only two today, I have to finish off a few from when I was away so they upload as a set, and it’s 12:44am, and I’m really tired!  Not to mention that I have some gorgeous clients to blog!

First up, evidence that Ash might need formal guitar lessons sooner rather than later.  And may have some brilliant stage presence..

And Eman, playing with his friend Arch..  they were “working” as you can see!

JAN 13

Promise I’ll finish up the overdue editing of the rest of January ASAP…. and moreso so I can show off today’s image (31st Jan) because it will blow all these images out of the water!!! Yes, it is that good – if i may say so myself!!

P.s Is it just me or is everyone else scared that it’s already February!?

Miss L, 4 months – Melbourne Baby Photography

Yes.  I am behind.  Behind on client “previews” and also with my PROJECT.  Careful, I may post them all at once!

I am currently enjoying the sound of waves crashing on the sand.  40 metres away from where I’m sitting (inside, by a fire!)

My mother, aunt (from England) and I flew to Tasmania late last week for a few days of girly time.  And boy, has it been a full on few days.  Never fear, I will be posting A LOT of images!  I have been undertaking a different sort of photographic project while here, all done on the Iphone!  But I will get to all that soon…

So, to the point of this (overly colourful!) post, is to show off Miss L.  She is one of my favourite little clients.  Just soooooo gorgeous!  Very excited that I get to photograph her another two times before she’s 12 months old!  I hope you enjoy! x

thePROJECT – Jan 11th

Well as most of Australia knows, we’re having a heat wave in Melbourne/Adelaide/other places..  Well today it got to 44.7 where we live.  (for those reading from F, that’s over 111!)

We have some form of cooling but it the temperature gets over 33ish it’s USELESS.  We blacked out the curtains/doors, had the cooling on, fans and a portable heater.  Which worked until about 2pm.  Then it got HOT and STUFFY and YUK.  Around 4pm we escaped next door.  There they have shade (we do not) and a paddle pool.  The kids had a BALL.  The water was actually COLD but boy it helped cool us down.

And made for some GREAT photos!!

thePROJECT – Jan 9th

Yep, this is another PLAIN image.  But it’s a daily image, he gets very excited about this “bot-tol”.

thePROJECT – Jan 8th

Having not really “tried” with thePROJECT images in a few days, I decided to get out a prop.  And well, Ash loved it.  Made for comfy snack eating.  Again, couldn’t choose one, so posted two ;)  As you may be able to tell the children are not very keen on this project at the moment.  Hoping this week we can change the “attitude” so to speak.

thePROJECT – Jan 7th

Oh LOOK!! We have a nice garden!  Nope, kidding, it’s next door again.  Yes, Jan 7th was PJ’s day, this was taken at about 6pm.  He did get clean PJ’s on for that night.

thePROJECT – Jan 6th

A quiet day, followed by a quiet evening next door in “my patio”! Couldn’t choose one image today as I got some fairly plain images of both boys!  So here they both are!

thePROJECT – Jan 5th

This took a LONG time to get.  It took playing “BOO!” to get it.

Next door recently built me a patio in their yard (hehe) and had to use our backyard to get the equipment in.  This particular part of our jungle got a little driven in by the tractor, so the workmen put in sand to fill it up.  Which I thought was a bit of a quick fix, however the children (as you can see) do not mind… AT ALL!!  Therefore, I do not mind either.  You may be seeing more images from sand…
