Santa's Little Helper!

Imagine if all Santa's little helpers were this cute!! Little Ethan, a new addition to Santa's team (not that we support child labour!) is all dressed up and ready for the festive season!
I can't believe that Ethan is 1 already - it does not seem all that long ago that I was doing bump photos for his parents. It has been a great year and I am so glad to have been able to photograph many stages of it! Thank you Brent and Abigail for your support and for having such a cute little boy!

Expecting Baby F!

I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely Momma-to-be. The shoot was a Birthday present for Dad and what a great shoot it was! Adam and Juliet had such wonderful energy (not to mention a wicked sense of humour!) so we spent much of our time smiling and laughing (oh, and there were a few emotional tears too!). It is times like this that reinforce the love I have for my job!
Here are some photos from their shoot, creating some lovely memories for Mom & Dad-to-be at an exciting time in their lives.

Oscar & Amelie

Well, I have enjoyed a week or so off and was very keen to get my hands back on my camera and get back in the studio. I was very fortunate to photograph two gorgeous little children yesterday, Oscar (2) and his little sister Amelie (8 months). Their shoot is a surprise Christmas gift for their Dad - not to mention some wall art too!! So if anyone knows Oscar and Amelie's Dad, please don't let the cat out of the bag and spoil the surprise! Here are 3 of their pics from their session.

Mirror Image Sisters

Can you spot the difference?
There is a 2 year age gap between Maia and Chloe but they look almost identical in these photos which have been taken at roughly the same age!
We have a happy Momma & Dad who are going to have some stunning matching canvases on their wall soon!

Autumn Leaves and Family Fun!

Wow! Another fantastic Autumn day and location shoot in an area very special to these families - I feel very lucky indeed! This time I had fun with an extended family in the park! The colour of the leaves was breathtaking and little Ethan and Joseph seemed to love it! It did not take much to encourage both sets of parents and Nan to get amongst the leaves!

Autumn is such a beautiful season and one that does not take kindly to black and white photos! Enjoy this colour blast!

And then there were four...!

A warm welcome to the 4th edition of the Beck family! Little Chloe, 13 days old, was a dream newborn as she patiently posed for the camera and enjoyed her "big" sisters hugs and kisses!
This was a particularly special shoot for me as I have know this family for many years. I have enjoyed photographing each pregnancy and now their second gorgeous daughter. What was most enjoyable, was watching little Maia hug and kiss her little sister - too cute!

Congratulations to you all and well done Chloe for "choosing" such a special family!
