Little Miss L - 14 months

This little lady was a bundle of fun from the word go. I think she really liked having her living room turned into a studio and was posing for me effortlessly. She was also quite interested in coming to have a look at the pictures too and at points through our session was busy investigation different pieces of equipment.

A budding engineer perhaps? Or supermodel? Or both? Why not? :)

Maternity Shoot 3 days before birth!

So, I need to add some more maternity images to my portfolio and a loyal client is having her third boy and has also booked me in for a third shoot with her and her family, this time a Newborn Package (thank you lovely client!) So, the very least I can do is offer her a free maternity session to help me bump up my maternity images. She said yes! :)

These were taken 3 days before her lovely little boy was born. As you can see Maia joined in too and was trying to tickle the baby :) Keep your eyes peeled for more images of this little cutie after our follow up session in a couple of weeks. This time with the whole family, including Grandma!

I am opening this offer up to anyone else too until the end of April 2009. If you book a Newborn Session, you can get a FREE maternity shoot including 5 prints.

Happy New Year

Welcome 2009! 2008 was a fabulous time for me and my business, I must say I've enjoyed the journey greatly. Here's to an even more exciting 2009! I have lots of plans and ideas and creative energy to share. I wish all of you and your families lots of smiles and happy moments. Perhaps some of them will be captures on camera forever. :)

We went to the mountains with friends for our first day of 2009. It was beautiful.

Meet the Grandparents

When I arrived the final Grandparent was on her way in with Aunty, making it a full house and a full group picture! As the troops made their first greetings with their new family member and settled in I took the opportunity to take few piccies of their cat, Simon. He had the most beautiful eyes. :)

Little baby L, I hope you enjoy having so many people around you for your first New Year Celebrations.

Busy Times

It's been a tough last month or so. All three of us have taken a turn at being ill and my little girl was afflicted to the point where she was being sent home from day care. Sadly this meant that with the extra work I'd taken on, I had less time to do it. As a result, the last few shoots that I have done have taken a little longer to get back to them than I would have liked. I'd just like to say a big thank you to all the families that have been patient with me.

My organised head had planned a couple of weekend trips that were intended as a small congratulations gift to myself after the busy months I've just had. This was with the assumption that I would have completed most of the work I needed to do. The break was needed though as whilst I was off my wrist was hurting me lots and working at a computer was not what the doctor ordered, so it all worked out in the end. Here are a few piccies from my travels.

I hope you are all ready for Christmas now and are looking forward to some quality family time. Enjoy x

Little Miss L - 9 months

This little girl was ready and waiting for me with lots of happy smiles. It was my third shoot that weekend and fortunately there was lots of space for my studio gear. We had lots of fun playing with all my christmas props - especially the beads! I even stayed a little bit longer when our model got a little worn out to give a little bit of advice about DSLR's.

Little miss H - 4 months

After getting myself and all my equipment up the 4 flights of stairs, I was a little out of breath. It was all worth it though, there was even time for this little supermodel to take a nap in between shooting. It's a tough life :)
