the project – day 14 | Melbourne Baby Photography

Usually it’s me that gets eaten alive by mosquitoes, and it doesn’t help that I’m allergic to one breed of them (yup, there’s a few, stay away from the stripy ones!) The kids, up until this week have escaped their blood sucking path. Eman scared me one evening at midnight, out of bed, with red dots all over him. “Mum I’m itchy”… well perhaps the 14 bites over your arms and face might be why..

The horrible little insect got him twice on his left eye. The next morning it was slightly less swollen, but made his already LONG eyelashes stick out straight even more. I couldn’t resist. They are lashes every girl dreams of..

Fun in the sunshine – Melbourne Family Photography

Gemma — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 04:27:54 +0000

Mr. W is nearly 3, and was in my little Ash’s Daycare class until last year… Mum asked me along to take some special portraits for their family as Grandma & Great-Grandma were coming for a visit from New Zealand! We had so much fun on the tractors, feeding the geese, turkey and chickens and just running around. Mr. W got stuck into some chocolate cake while we enjoyed a coffee and the sunshine. I have such a tough job

Hope you enjoy the preview everyone, the gallery will be ready very very soon! x

Mr L, 13 days new, Part I – Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Gemma — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 08:16:52 +0000

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!

Christmas Eve 2010 – Melbourne Child Photographer

Gemma — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 10:19:16 +0000

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….

thePROJECT – December 23

A few days before Christmas, we were busy with festive activities and so I decided to try a little Christmassy set-up with Emerson. We live in a country where it’s not cold for summer, it’s [usually] hot, although most of the imagery associated with Christmas involves snow. SO. I decided to create some. (Thanks to a can!!)

It was pretty amusing as my boys have never actually seen snow in ‘real life’, however something we hope to change next year.

So below is the official image in thePROJECT’s series, and a few ‘outtakes’ as they are just too cute!
