A day in the Garden – Melbourne Family Photography

Today I was preparing an Album for a client, and realised that in the craziness that was the end of last year, this session never graced the blog!  Well I’m fixing that situation right now!

This GORGEOUS family’s session was postponed a few times, due to little ones being unwell, then Mother Nature deciding it wasn’t the right time, but I think the wait was worth it as the weather on the day was just amazing!

Enjoy!

Miss F – 19 months – Melbourne Child Photography

This gorgeous girl certainly kept us on our toes!  This is the second time I’ve photographed Miss F, firstly when she was just 3 months old.  Not much of a preview as Mum has seen the whole gallery!  Sorry for the delay, but I hope you enjoy anyway!

MIA, website/Email drama & my boys

People always insist I must have the most beautiful images of my boys.  Well yes, when they let me actually take their photos!!  I have to admit, my youngest has been a brilliant model.  But now we are on the move, we generally have to rely on a basket of some description to keep him in the one spot!  Me eldest on the other hand has ALWAYS hated the camera.  ALWAYS.

So of course, when they actually let me take their photo, TOGETHER it’s always a quick dash for the best light, the camera (always with a dying battery) and before the “mood” changes.

And of course, they are always in their worst possible outfits, with lunch or a snack all over their faces, and at 5pm in winter, when there is NO LIGHT.

But who’s complaining when you get these:

On a different note, I have been what may seem a little missing in action lately.  I have been unwell for what seems like a month, with what was originally diagnosed as the flu, but has turned out to be a lymph node infection.  All is well and I’m on the mend, and not contagious!  Been difficult with two unwell boys with a cold each (which has also seemed to take weeks to finally disappear!)

One another fun note, it seems there has been some issues with my website/blog and email.  Seems the site is working at the moment, however at the moment, I am unable to receive my emails.  They will be downloaded once the issue with the server is fixed, however there may be a slight delay with my replies.  Apologies in advance!

Miss R, 22 months – Melbourne Child Photography

Boy Miss R was fun to photography!  She definitely kept me on my toes and was a ball of cheeky energy!

I first photographed her big sister at this age, and then Miss R at 12 days old, well she had certainly grown in between visits!  I struggled to put this preview together as I loved so many images!

Thanks for your patience Mum & Dad, I hope you enjoy your preview!!

K Family – Melbourne Family Photography

This is the 5th time I have photographed this gorgeous family!  On a not so pleasant day (weather wise) we had to quickly book in this session as Mr L already has some of his teeth at 5 months!

I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!

Mr. F – 9 months old

I first met this family when big sister was 9 months old, more than two years ago!  May sound strange, but I always find myself expecting the same baby there, even two years later.  But no, she’s a gorgeous little girl with a baby brother!  The smoke was still thick in the air from the bushfires which was creating some interesting lighting effects!

Mr F is such a cutey, and I’m sure everyone will agree!

Hope you enjoy the preview mum & dad, and enjoy your time away!

Last sessions from 2008

Here are featured the last two sessions from 2008!

Firstly, this beautiful lady is expecting here baby soon – and I have to say, I wish I looked half this good when I was pregnant!

And lastly, but certainly not least, here is a gorgeous family whom I photographed about two years ago, when big brother was little brothers age!

I hope you enjoy your previews and look forward to some new and exciting things to come for 2009!

Stepping outside

… is not something I get to do much!  With the Melbourne weather so unpredictable, I spend most of my sessions with young babies indoors.  But with the weather warmer (well sometimes) stepping outside can be just so beautiful.

I ventured out to this gorgeous spot with fellow photographers Amanda, Janet & Bec in December (last year – now that feels weird to say) and in between being spoilt with some gorgeous portraits with my boys from Amanda (for example, the bio picture above) I managed to get some photographs of my eldest son, who is not a fan of his mothers camera.

So here is a rare treat – My 2 1/2 year old.  Oh, and he choose his outfit himself.

I am still enjoying some down time – however phone calls and emails will be returned on a weekly basis.  If your baby has been born and is under two weeks, please call ASAP to scedule your session.  Bookings are also being taken for Feburary & March, and are filling quickly!

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my clients, their families and my dedicated blog readers all the very best for Christmas and the New Year!

Have a wonderful and safe holiday season.

{I have to say, getting these images of my two “angels” was not an easy task.  Both have colds, the eldest who decides his name is Denise the Menace whenever he’s unwell, and Ashton, well lets just say I’m glad I have skills in Photoshop, his face was just disgusting.  But oh how it’s worth it!  Aren’t they just beautiful?  (Oh did I mention they are BOTH sleeping at the moment? a rare treat for mummy – Haha)}

And also, welcome to the new look blog.  Iris Creations is currently undergoing a makeover.  (Wonder if that means I’ll get one?)  Cannot wait to unveil the new look, however the blog here is a sneak preview of some changes to come!

Happy Holidays!

M Family

I met this lovely family on a day when unfortunately Melbourne was living up to it’s name and the wind was HOWLING.  So no planned outdoor adventures… BUT I think we did super well in the studio ;) I hope you enjoy the preview mum & dad!  Gallery is not too far away!
