Newborns, Newborns Everywhere! – Melbourne Baby Photographer

admin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 04:19:58 +0000

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

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!

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

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!

A day in the park – Melbourne Child Photographer

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:13:06 +0000

I’m slowly catching up!! I have heaps and heaps and heaps of gorgeous images of gorgeous babies to post, however I’m being a bit “control freakish” at the moment, so everything is happening in order. (even the house is getting an overhaul… by the end of September, if it doesn’t have a “home” it GOES!)

I’m always getting in trouble that I’m not posting enough of my gorgeous boys, so here we go. Firstly, is Eman, who many will know, isn’t the biggest fan of the camera. If he’s in the mood, he’s covered in food, the day before the hairdresser appointment. And in the most unflattering-for-camera outfit… have I mentioned this is called “photographer’s child syndrome”?

Anyway before I carry on too much more, some from Eman in the studio…

My boys in the park. Seems strange posting this today, when the sun is shining and it’s slowly becoming more and more like warmer weather is on the way. Well this day it was techincally the first day of Spring, only it was more like the middle of winter! Also felt like playing around with some different processing for a real “wintery feel”!

This little girl was beyond cute! Loved to play “peek a boo” and with some teething action going on my baskets were a treat!

She wore herself out rather quickly with all the posing and modeling action, and before we knew it we’d captured some gorgeous images!

I hope you enjoy the preview Mum!

Mr J turns 2! – Child Photography Melbourne

admin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 01:34:53 +0000

I photographed Mr. J’s first birthday party, and here he is turning 2! Not sure where the year went, but he is as cute as ever, and the birthday boy and party guests had a ball running, jumping and going down the many slides at this indoor playcentre! I have to say I’m sure everyone slept well afterwards, I can safely say it was a good thing I wasn’t driving as I had a nap on the way home too! Capturing two year olds at play is exhausting business!

Here’s a little collage of some of the moments of the day!

Yes, little itty bitty baby Ruby This time, at 15 days old. She is just such a doll I can’t help but share more of her!

It’s been a lot of fun taking photos of her every two weeks, and yes there are more to come

Had a wonderful, inspiring weekend attending a workshop with US photographer Kelley Ryden this weekend. Talk about cuteness overload, we photographed the most adorable newborns, and even a challenge with 3 weeks older! There will be lots of images coming soon from the weekend. My dear friend Amanda Keeys (who took the beautiful image of me with my son Ashton above) came to stay for the weekend with her 10 week old daughter Zoe and husband Matt. My regular blog readers may remember miss Zoe from my post here. I tell you it’s hard to not want another baby after a weekend like that (no that does not mean any new additions coming soon!!)

Well, onto some images of Miss Ruby

A “birthday” party – Melbourne Child Photography

admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:20:21 +0000

Eman (my adorable – camera – hating 3 year old) had a play date with the adorable Ashley. (Miss Ruby’s big sister) They were so quiet at one stage we popped outside to see their “cake”. Apparently it’s my birthday! It was a layered chocolate cake, complete with candles! Since it was a birthday party, I mentioned how we’d need the camera. Emerson actually agreed! I pushed it by asking for kisses and a “formal” pose!!

And asked if Ashley & Emerson could please help me by blowing out the candles (they were very diplomatic and only put two candles on my cake!) xx
