Merry Christmas!
December 24, 2009 – 1:53 pm
Hi everyone!
Just a quick admin note to say that the office of Iris Creations Photography is officially closed for the holidays!
I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL Christmas & a Very Happy (and SAFE) New Year.
We will be taking “emergency” calls and emails during this time, and by emergency, we refer to newborn sessions, Babies UNDER two weeks. If your baby is born, please call ASAP to schedule your session. We will be only offering STUDIO session (in Point Cook) during this time.
I’d also like to thank all my clients for their patience and understanding during the last two months, and especially with the latest dramas caused by the postal strike. I hope that the working conditions and discussions go well for all involved, and that all mail and parcels are delivered ASAP!
The office will be closed for most of January, however calls and emails will be returned as soon as possible. Voice mails and emails will not be checked on a daily basis.
2009 has been an amazing year, and 2010 will be just as exciting. We have photographed many families, bellies and especially all our beautiful precious newborns! If you are considering holding a session soon, please contact us to arrange as many dates in 2010 are already booking.
In the new year I will be showcasing a highlight package of 2009, and more exciting things are coming! Of course thePROJECT is still going, and will be for the rest of summer, and I have lots of sessions still to showcase on the blog from the last (busy) two months!
And now, I’d like to showcase a modified version of our family Christmas Card (and especially for those family and friends who haven’t received theirs yet – SORRY!) As many of my readers know my children are not fans of the camera, however I think we did fairly well to put the card together!
Once again, Merry Christmas!
Love Gemma & the team at Iris Creations Photography! xx

Paint the town RED!
October 1, 2009 – 3:26 pm
The time has [FINALLY] come! Welcome to the NEW Iris Creations Photography. We have had a long and tiring facelift!! Lots of things are changing, lots more new and exciting things to come! As you may notice, we are now “red”!!
Well, our awesomely fantastic new logo. When I say new, it’s new to lots of people, however was actually designed last year. Yes it’s taken that long to re-do everything! The logo & flourish concept was created by the wonderful Amy Lewis.
The overall design & branding concept was put together by the oh-so-awesome-at-everything-she-does Netra Chetty. Honestly if it wasn’t for this women, my logo would have sat there being ignored for a LONG time (longer than it already has!) And a massive thankyou to Ryan at 16ninjas for the overhaul on the blog!
So to celebrate the new-ness of the blog, there is a little competition. Please sign up to the mailing list (in the above menu) by the 12th October, and 1 person will win a $200 voucher towards prints & products for your next Photographic Session with Iris Creations Photography! Nice and easy!* Be sure to pass onto family and friends and let them know of super simple competition!
As mentioned in the previous post, book & pay for a session by the 12th October to receive the 2009 rates. 2010 Pricing and Product range will be starting as of the 13th. Sessions do not need to be held by that date, just booked.
There will be more news to come, many new products to show off, and lots of sessions to present, but for now, some images, taken over the last few months, in preparation for today, where we PAINT THE TOWN RED!
* SOME past clients may have already been added to the mailing via optioning in on the information form at the time of your previous session. You are automatically entered into this draw. Please sign up above, just to make sure!

SPECIAL! Mother’s Day Mini-Sessions (ACOCP Fundraiser)
April 26, 2009 – 10:38 pm
As many of my clients & blog readers know I’m a proud member of the ACOCP. We are currently holding a fundraiser to raise much needed funds to keep the organization providing this wonderful service to families around Australia.
For those who are not familiar with the ACOCP:
(from website) “The Australian Community Of Child Photographers (formerly The Australian Charity of Child Photographers) is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses.”
What’s involved:
The sessions are available as gift vouchers to celebrate Mothers Day. Vouchers may be purchased as gifts or for your own family.
Mini Sessions will last 15-20 minutes, and include approx 10-20 images in an online gallery. Your sessions also includes a Free 6×8” print, chosen by photographer, and 5% off standard pricelist.
There are two types of sessions available:
- Studio session & on-location at a park in Carlton. All sessions will be held on the 16th May, 2009, with a waiting list for the next available day (likely to be late May, early June)
- There are approx 10-15 gift vouchers available, and these will be booked quickly so please secure your booking asap!
- Vouchers are not available for newborn or maternity sessions, due to the nature of the time allocated for sessions.
- Sessions are a fantastic way to have family photographs, or individual photographs of the children. No more than 4 people can be included in the session, however if you have a larger family you may purchase two timeslots, and have more images presented in your gallery.
- Mini sessions are fantastic as an addition to a standard session. For example – for family photographs, to photograph an older sibling after a newborn session, or for children who are not lovers of the camera! (For example my eldest son!) 15 minutes isn’t a long time to grab their attention, and have beautiful professional photographs of them as they grow!
- Mini-sessions are great fun and quick!
How it works:
- Pay $50 directly to the ACOCP via paypal (credit card) and book in your time & preference for Point Cook Studio or outdoor location. You will receive a FREE 6×8” print. A 5% discount applies to the standard pricelist for orders from these sessions. You MAY purchase two timeslots if you wish.
- Gift Vouchers for the mother’s day special will be emailed to you to use or give out for mother’s day. Sessions are non-refundable. If weather is against us for the outdoor location, an alternative time will be made available.
- Your images will be presented in an online gallery 1-2 weeks after your session. Orders may be placed during a 1 week ordering period.
To book:
- Please email Gemma via the “contact us” button on the blog, website, email directly, or phone 0423 323 185
Please contact us ASAP to book your session!
Happy Mother’s Day!
