So while we living it up in Auckland, My wonderful brother & his amazing awesome fiance had the boys for the weekend. As I had no mobile reception, they took these images for me for thePROJECT, and I have edited them. So yes, technically this is cheating, but I couldn’t receive them as email attachments to take a photo of the Ipad. So figured this was just fine
Here they are running around the carport having water-fights!

Day 2 saw us drive down the long way to Auckland, stopping off to look at some gorgeous scenery.
Because our trip was so short we could only spend limited time with friends, but couldn’t go to Auckland without stopping off to see these two gorgeous ladies! Ang, I cannot believe how much she has grown!! xx
Now when I spoke last time of volcanoes, I wasn’t joking. New Zealand is FULL of them. In fact the North Island is practically a volcano in itself. When I was in primary school we studied volcanoes, and I had this fantasy of HUGE mountains that explode and hot boiling lava comes out the top, and they were only in exotic places I’d never see. Well! Everything about them fascinates me. And I just don’t really understand how New Zealander’s don’t freak out about them. They have built cities around them, ON them. And no some of them are not extinct. Some of them are very much still erupting. This one I believe is extinct, One Tree Hill. When I first went to NZ we went to the summit and looked around. This time I only passed by the base. By the way, there was once a big tree, which got vandalised and had to be chopped down as it was dying. So now there is only the monument left.
Yes a brick wall. I think it’s pretty!! It looks very old
The next day was the reason we came to New Zealand. For Jaime & Katia’s wedding.
I was NOT the wedding photographer, I was a guest. It was one of the first weddings in a long time where I was a guest! But of course could not resist a few photographs!
I hung out on the day of the wedding with the boys getting ready. You know what that means, I got to iron shirts! But relaxing and resisting the urge to pick up a camera every five seconds was hard. It’s not easy being around something you do a lot, and not actually “working”. I tried very very very hard not to get in the way of the Photographers hired for the gig, Momentz Photography. Their work is amazing you have to visit their blog!
Cigars continued on the way to the church!
Yet another funny NZ sign…. at first I was a little taken back by it, but by the time I’d seen a few, they made me laugh…
Me & the gorgeous Sam xx
Part three coming soon! But now be sure to see Aaron & Sarah of Momentz photography’s blog for their amazing capture of Jamie & Kate’s wedding HERE
A fun day at the beach. Pity the weather wasn’t that keen (at the time) playing it’s role, but fun was had!

Still at ‘the farm’. One of my favourite places to be, and now one of the kids. They were not happy about leaving

This wee little man was actually 4 weeks early. He decided that Christmas 2010 was not to be missed! While the clouds changed from thin to heavy, this little guy slept on. He was so peaceful. Poor Mum & Dad have to actually wake him to feed.. I wish I knew what he was dreaming to be so sleepy, and when he gave a little smile, I know they must be amazing dreams!
Stay tuned for Part II!
What is the festive season without a few personal posts on the blog? Well watch out they are about to bombard the Iris Creations Photography blog!
About a week before Christmas, Eman & I made a large batch of “Reindeer food” to give to all his kinder class-mates as little presents, keeping a few for us to use as well. (Secret ingredient is glitter so the moon shines down to light the way for the Reindeer you see – must also add here that I borrowed this gorgeous idea from someone else!)
Christmas Eve we spend with our cool Uncle Richie, and awesome Aunty Megs & even cooler Grandma, and of course, since this year we were at their house, they just had to help us spread out the Reindeer Dust. (Excuse the baby child in just a nappy, it’s either that, or a spiderman suit at the moment…!)
After all the excitement of feeding the Reindeer, we had to make sure Santa was well catered for, and therefore left some gingerbread Christmas trees we had made for the special day!
(And a weak mug of bourbon and cola… in case he’s thirsty!) And now off to bed to sleep like good boys, as Santa knows when you’ve been sleeping… and he KNOWS when your awake giggling with your brother and having pillow & doona fights….
Finally, someone was still!
9 times out of 10, I get compliments on how gorgeous my “daughter” is. For some reason it’s really easy to look at his hair and assume that “he’s” a girl. The clothes and boyish shoes don’t give it away… So some people wonder why I don’t cut his hair so he’s more “boylike”. Well. Would you cut off these gorgeous curls!? Because I sure can’t!

This gorgeous little newborn had the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen. Below is just a small sample! She was very cheeky, every time I put the camera down, a smile would take her over whole face! They were honestly so divine, but are obviously all for Mum & Dad to see & cherish!
Was lovely to meet you, I hope you enjoy the preview, your gallery is not far away!
I first met this family when Mr Z came to the studio for his newborn photography, (his newborn photos are available here!) and now he’s a big brother! And a very proud one too!
Mr N is such a content baby, in fact it seems he likes it better with lots of noise around! Such gorgeous hair and how could resist those gorgeous lips?
It was wonderful to see you all again, I cannot believe how much Z has grown! I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad, your gallery is very very close!
This gorgeous little guy had the cutest yawn (captured below) but that’s not the biggest one. He yawned so much at one stage that honestly it took his whole little tiny body to get it out! I’ve never seen such a big yarn! Thankfully it wasn’t too contagious or I might have curled up on the floor and had a nap!
Lovely to meet you both Mum & Dad, I hope you love the preview, your gallery is not far away!
Ready for a large post!? I could have put every simple image of this session in a post, however I have to keep some secrets just for his parents! I met Mr. M for his Christening Photography, and here he is again, for a formal portrait session. We ventured out, firstly to an unlikely photography location, to the beloved canola field and then in the studio. This little guy is just adorable, cheeky one minute, soulful the next, then grinning from ear to ear. Little man, your mother is right, you are just “so damn cute!”
We are very excited to announce that we are holding studio mini-sessions on the weekend of the 16th & 17th of October, at our Point Cook Studio. These sessions ARE limited (only 12 available)
Perfect for updated images of your baby & children growing, or for family & friends to sample the custom art photography experience with Iris Creations Photography.
To celebrate, we have a competition running on our Facebook Page! By tagging yourself in the image (click HERE) you go into the running to receive $200 credit towards your mini-session!
To book simply email us on info@iriscreationsphotography.com or call 0423 323 185 for more information. These sessions will book quickly!
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.
*Please note: Regular and Additional Terms & Conditions do apply.
Mr. M’s Mum called me to hold a portrait session on the day of his Christening, to commemorate a special day in his life. I have to say, Mr M is one of the most calm, smiley and happy-go-lucky babies I’ve ever met. In all the time I was there I didn’t see him do anything but smile and never heard a peep of protest from him!
Poor little guy was getting a tad tired when we were at photo time, however even if he was very ready for a nap, he kept smiling and then finally drifted off to sleep in his pram!
Mum, he’s an Angel! I can’t wait to photograph him again! I hope you enjoy the preview!
(I have to interupt your image viewing here.. I think M’s eyelashes take the prize for longest and thickest eyelashes, I have ever seen… They are divine!)
