Nat – THE STAR!

We all have friends we are proud of, but I have a friend who I think tops it all off, Natalie. I’ve known Nat’s family all my life.
20100321NatM-420100321NatM-8
Nat is 21 and Nat participated in the World’s Greatest Shave. She didn’t just die her hair. She went for the big one. Oh yes, she did!
So, a little of the background – in Nat’s own words…
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY HERO:
It all started last May when Dad wanted to get back into running so he decided to go to the GP for a check-up as he had a few niggles. Apart from a sore foot, he wanted to check on his tiredness and shortness of breath. Routine blood tests were prescribed and the next thing we know he is referred to a haematologist. More blood tests, followed by a bone marrow biopsy, and he has gone from being anaemic to having AML.When he asked why(?)/how(?), he was told it was a “random accident”.

The only treatment available was aggressive Chemotherapy. He was told he would need 4-6 months of treatment – a month in hospital followed by a couple of weeks at home to recuperate, then this process is repeated a minimum of two more times. The month in hospital consists of a week of aggressive chemo which is designed to wipe out his good cells as well as the bad; two weeks of intense monitoring when his immune system reaches non-existent and therefore he is prone to infection, followed by a week waiting for his levels to rise to an acceptable stage so he is allowed to go home.

He was first admitted into Peter MacCallum on Thursday, November 12. He is currently on his third (and hopefully final) session in hospital. The great news is he has been told he is in remission and the current treatment is classified as “consolidation”.

Of course the main objective of the shave is to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation.

If you would like to show your support for both me and my amazing dad, donations will be gratefully accepted.

Nat’s event, was an emotionally filled event.  We stood around the pool..

…shared a drink, laugh and a “snag” from the BBQ… Then came the time. Firstly, a family friend (who is a hairdresser) set up to prep her hair, to be sold (to raise money as well) and then came the time. Russell, took up the electric razor. It was Nat’s mission for Russell to be the one to do it, and with tears and smiles (and a few beers!) Nat became a hero!

She has already raised an AMAZING amount, however with the event still collecting, I’d love give the opportunity to all my amazing blog readers to donate to this amazing cause as well. I have set up the following division of Paypal to accept donations on Nat’s behalf.  Any amount goes to an amazing cause!
And now, some gorgeous portraits of a stunning girl…

Mr. H, 9 days new – Melbourne Newborn Photography

I have been waiting very very very patiently for this little guy to be born..  Mum booked her session at the same time as this little guy’s cousin was born, and both boys were such a delight to photograph!

He didn’t stop smiling during our session (more often when we were pausing to admire how gorgeous he was!!) but did get quite a few HUGE smiles caught on camera!

I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad, I can’t wait to show you your gallery – it’s coming soon!

Mr. T – ACOCP Melbourne

Met this gorgeous family at the Royal Children’s Hospital today through the ACOCP.  Mr. T is 7 weeks old.  We were lucky enough to venture out of NICU and even out into the garden! Which I think was Mr. T’s second time outside!

It was a pleasure to spend the morning with you Mum & Dad, I hope you enjoy the images xx

Mr. J, 2 weeks – Newborn Photography Melbourne

This gorgeous boy was just 2 weeks old at his session.  Without a fuss he went off to sleep and pretty much stayed that way for the whole time!  The weather turned a little dark on us at one stage and could quite wet and windy outside!

Was lovely to meet you all, I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!

Baby in a box & basket – Melbourne Baby Photography

A good thing about being unwell, I’m at home more, and able to get some training in…. Must keep baby happy in front of camera…. Must not let him be like his old brother and run away from the camera screaming…

Even if I do ruin nice photos with forgetting to clean his running nose…. oops!

Miss B, 8 weeks – Melbourne Baby Photography

This little girl was such a doll!  I could have kept her!  We had to change our initial booking, but I think that may have been a good thing, because she performed for the camera beautifully!  Although she did like to poke her tongue out at me.. not sure if she was trying to tell me something, or was being cute.. hehe!  I was quite excited as I’d been unwell I’d entertained myself with some knitting, trying to modify patterns to suit slightly older babies than newborns, so Miss B was my little model.

The below hat is a slightly modified pattern (i.e I mis-calculated how much yarn I would need) from Amanda Keeys’ book available HERE

Miss R, 22 months – Melbourne Child Photography

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!!
