Pretty Fairies in Tamworth

Back to our trip to Tamworth for a moment

One of the best things about friends being photographers, (and having the most gorgeous children) is an outing to somewhere pretty and having fun with the cameras. With the youngest two in fairy-dresses, it was a photographers delight – with gorgeous light to boot. Amanda’s four girls are all just magic in front of the camera. Each so different in personality. Honestly I could photography them all day every-day. And it’s no wonder Amanda does! (You must check out her beautiful blog HERE!)

Something for photographers: If you didn’t already know, Amanda also produces a variety of Actions for Photoshop and Presets for Lightroom. Whilst I generally use my own creations, I adore Amanda’s Actions and have used such in this blog post

Not an easy start to the morning. Someone went to hide after I offered to brush his hair. Not overly surprising after falling and cutting his head open a week ago which required glue stitches. So someone has scruffy hair. And might for a while…

thePROJECT 2013 | Day One

I’ve had many comments the last month, “Where is thePROJECT!?”

It hasn’t stopped, but as life changes, so much personal projects! This year, I have changed thePROJECT to be “30 days of Summer” and it begins today! A day which usually concluded thePROJECT – the first back at school!

This year we are in Grade 2. GRADE 2! How did this happen? Do I have to start looking at high schools yet!? Yesterday we had the ‘start of the school year haircut’ and got smart new shoes. Ones with laces instead of valcro, because, we can now do up our laces! It’s always the little things that fascinate me about my boys growing up.

So here start’s 2013′s thePROJECT, I hope you’ll be back to visit regularly to join the fun!

Welcome – to the NEW Iris Creations Photography!

The name Iris Creations was born when I was about 15 years old when my best friend nick-named me Iris (but I’m not going into that story!) Since Iris Creations Photography was launched over six years ago I had a vision in my head for the “look”. It’s taken a few variations and a few changes to finally become the business that it is today.

Within the portrait world, I specialise in Newborn Photography & Maternity Photography. But my other love is photo-documenting Weddings. Those moments in life where the LOVE is so intoxicating it makes everyone smile, no matter what. But blending these different elements didn’t appear to be easy.

Enter stage right, the amazing team at Netra Chetty, who designed the new logo & flower element. I like to be a little different, and whilst I wanted the soft delicate element of a flower didn’t want it to be a obvious “iris”. Thankyou girls, I adore the new logo!

Enter stage left, the AMAZING Kristy Winter, who has put it all together to create the website and Facebook page… LOOK! Isn’t it GORGEOUS!?? Honestly, if you could see into my office and studio you would see me jumping up and down like a child on Christmas morning!

This is the new Iris Creations and I’m SO SO SO happy!

And now, to celebrate, meet the beautiful Kristy and her youngest gorgeous daughter Shae, who was the model for one of my Silver Awards at this years Australian Professional Photography Awards. (For more information about the awards, please visit HERE) It’s always a little nerve-wracking to photograph another photographer, however the beauty of my friendship with Kristy is we always seem to have similar ideas and visions, and I HOPE this one has turned out just the way she visualised!

Enjoy xx
