Yes, it’s another wedding related post! But it is the season for it! Recently we met up with Linda & Chris for their engagement session, which made for a beautiful family session!

I first met this gorgeous family for Mr. L’s newborn photography (HERE). Last week we met again, for a mini session to get some updated photos of the whole family and big brothers!!
I hope you enjoy everyone!
Last weekend, my beloved Mother Nature didn’t really care that I had plans. I had some of my favourite clients, and some lovely new clients visiting for our first ever mini-session event. Our Spring edition. She though it would be funny to be COLD, and WET. And when the sun did shine it was WINDY!
“Mini-Sessions” is an event we are hoping to run every year, each season. Perfect for children who are growing so fast, and with the blink of an eye they will celebrating their 18th birthdays! (Getting ahead of myself there)
Never-the-less, as soon as the rain eased, we would dash outside for a little while (what was more confusing was it raining while the sun was out!)
Part II coming soon!
(To all families, thank-you for coming & having fun! It was wonderful to meet you / see you all again, I cannot believe how much the children have grown!)
I did both of Mr. T’s sister’s baby photography at the same age as he is now, 4 months. (And boy haven’t they grown!!) Miss I (eldest big sister) is quite the little lady already, and Miss A is just adorable! A little shy, but can’t resist smiling when I would start acting like a goose! Mr T, takes everything in around him, his adoring sisters, and this fascinating world around him which he gazes at in wonder. Mum & I have worked on a theme with our sessions with the girls, and now now with Mr T – each time we’ve changed it up slightly to suit each child. Makes things so special!
I couldn’t resist this second photograph, I want to put a silly caption like “wow, photographer – lady- what – are – you – doing?” The expression is just priceless!
I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad, your full gallery isn’t too far away!
I think one of the most amazing things about photographing a family with young children, is watching how different their personalities are. These three lil guys were so much fun. So different. I think you can see even in this preview, just how different they are! While we were “concentrating” on Mr S, we also got some fantastic family images (and wow, no blinking eyes!!! all smiles!!!) and had fun playing outdoors, making sure there were no crocodiles!
I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad, and the boys enjoyed their lolly-pops!

FAQ:
So what are mini-sessions?
Mini-sessions are a shorter photography sitting, of which 15-20 images will be availble in your private gallery to choose from. These sessions are designed for new clients, wishing to try out custom art photography, or previous clients, who would love updated photos of their baby, children & family.
How much are the sessions?
$75, which is half our normal studio sitting/creation fee. Payment is required to secure your booking. Bookings are non-refunable, however may be transferred*
What’s included?
Approx 45 minute sitting (depending on weather, we may even venture outdoors for some images!), from this 15-20 images will be available in your private online gallery. A matted 5×7″ print is also included.
Why can’t Newborn or Maternity sessions be included?
Due to the dedication we place on the process of newborn & maternity sessions, they cannot be performed in the allocated time. However, if you have a newborn baby, or are pregnant and would like a fun family session with siblings etc, then the mini-session would be a great add-on to a tradition maternity/newborn booking.
How many people can be included into the session?
Traditionally, a family of 4 or 5. If you have a larger family or would like to include Grandparents, we suggest you book a double session on the day, due to the time allocated for the sessions.
If I win the Facebook competition, what do I get?
If you have booked one of the mini-sessions, you will receive $200 towards your order. This prize cannot be carried to other sessions at another time. The prize is only available for booked sessions on the weekend of our mini-studio sessions.

Believe it or not, I’m not brilliant at taking photos of my children. Simply, they don’t like my camera. Also has a lot to do with the age old excuse, a ‘builder’s house is never finished’ or a ‘plumbers tap will always drip’, and ‘a mechanics car always breaks down’. Sure I’ve taken heaps of images of the kids, however where they are? I have no idea. My own images never go into the same process as my client’s work. they are scattered amungst endless external hard-drives and DVD back-up for “when I have time”.
I have two images up on the walls. One wasn’t taken by me, but my friend & assistant Bec. And she had it printed and also hung it up. The other is a canvas of Ash, when he was 5 days old. Which many of my clients have seen on the wall. But it’s part of the studio, not our “home”.
This is something that will be changed shortly, as I’m currently preparing albums, and finally, a canvas wall gallery. And yes I’ll be posting images once it’s done.
Last week a fellow child photographer, Chrissy Torney, and I did a last minute dash to take some photos to test out a temporary location. I decided to try and get photos of the boys to give to Daddy for his birthday. While the photos of Daddy with the boys didn’t QUITE go to plan, it shows them, their personality, and is very them!
Happy Birthday G!
I’ll be posting some more images very soon of this awesome location!
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!
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!
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!
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!!
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!
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!
