There’s a baby in our house…

And no, not the “real” variety (as my youngest would say, ‘Mummy I want a REAL baby, a PERSON baby.’)

Introducing “Baby Doctor”. My son’s 5th birthday present. (He lost on the REAL baby, and happy with second best, a baby RABBIT) Yes he loves Doctor Who. And you can just guess what the hutch is called – (if your a doctor who fan anyway!!) Yes, your right. The TARDIS.

Baby Doctor is just gorgeous. Loves to be held, and when I open his hutch jumps up for a cuddle. So far the cats aren’t TOO fazed by the newcomer. In fact I’m not sure if Sebbie (13 years old) is scared, babysitting or looking at Baby Doctor like an old man… “oh you are a stupid kitten… look at you”..

Pretty Fairies in Tamworth

Gemma — Thu, 02 May 2013 06:22:56 +0000

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

Tamworth – part II

More from our whirlwind trip to Tamworth to visit Amanda and her family. I’ll be honest, most of these (actually all baring one or two!) were taken on the iPhone, yep I’m a sucker for the iphone, and a lover of Instagram. I love how moments from everyday life can be captured so easily. And lets face it, what’s a holiday without a few iPhone “selfies” enjoy! x

The Road to Tamworth – part I

Gemma — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 01:37:28 +0000

Term 1 of school went super quickly! Feels like only yesterday we were putting names on pens and pencils and buying a new lunchbox! All of a sudden it’s Easter holidays! We decided to take a BIG road-trip. One of my bestest photography friends Amanda moved to Tamworth from Sydney just over two years ago, and I haven’t been able to “catch up” with her since we photographed a wedding together in Wollongong. So off we went.

On Easter Sunday we left home around 1pm and got into West Wyalong for the night just after 9pm. For Easter I made the boys each a Brair Bunny, (although finishing them in the car I put the heads on incorrectly, but shhhh! don’t tell the boys!) and they were a hit. E named his Lucus Parker and Ash named his Jackson. We found some great parks along the way for the boys to play and stretch our legs, and all in all, for 9 hours of adventure, we had a pretty different and nice Easter!

Some scenes from day one!

Congratulations P & B, she is just divine xxx

Lynette & Paul | Country Wedding Photography

Gemma — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 05:52:11 +0000

Lynette & Paul met at a local nightclub, and later Paul surprised Lynette with a gondola ride along the Yarra River where he proposed with a custom made ring! (How romantic is that!!!)

Every aspect of their wedding had personal touches. Lynette wore a beautiful, elegant gown made of sequins, with a long train veil borrowed from her best friend. The venue is owned by Lynette, and her wedding was the first (hopefully of many!) held in her gorgeous venue Lady Lavender’s Tea Rooms in Bunyip.

With a sister for a florist, the wedding was a something out of a flower show, absolutely amazing (I could have spent all day photographing all the floral details! The reception was a fun, relaxed – party atmosphere. We didn’t spent very long with the formal portraits so the bridal party could enjoy celebrating with their guests – but as you can see walking only steps from the church, was just the most beautiful and romantic places for us to photograph.

And I have to mention that the Bride & Groom had a pretty interesting argument leading up to the day. Being their own DJ’s for the reception, they had a difference of opinion on what should be played. For a die-hard Elvis fan, having his wife-to-be putting her foot down and refusing Elvis to be played, well…. (wait til you see…. that’s all I’m saying!)

I hope you enjoy the showcase! Congratulations once again Lynette & Paul, we enjoyed every second of the wedding!

Melbourne Baby Photography | Sweet baby boy

Gemma — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:06:17 +0000

I think most living in Melbourne will agree that this Summer has been a warm one! On the day I photographed this gorgeous baby, it was just that. WARM. It’s quite a treat photographing on-location, especially when I know that the family’s home has a beautiful green garden. Before the temperature hit the predicted high, we ventured outdoors to capture some images of little Mr in his garden. I hope you enjoy x
