I couldn’t help myself!

We had some good friends over this morning. Mum was one of my bridesmaids (many moons ago…) and we’ve both since added 2 kids each to the mixture. Apart from my own children, of course, they would have to be the most gorgeous children ever. The daughter actually features on my website:

We’ve been trying to arrange a session with her son since he was born (he’s now 4 months old) and hadn’t quite managed, so I whipped the camera out while they were here and got some shots for her. Seriously - it would have to be the quickest, easiest session ever!  :)  He was such a darling.  And I’m adoring the photos so much I had to process a few and blog them so mum can see, even though I should be working on the pile I have waiting for me already…. (such is life)….
I hope you love them J, as much as I do.  Oh, gosh, he’s just so gorgeous - you lucky mama, you.  :)

366 pieces of life | Day 343

Today’s photo of Jaedon was taken while we were having a chat - he was telling me some marvelous story about goodness knows what (he still has his own ‘language’ with recognisable words like ‘green one’, ‘train’, ‘Thomas’, and ‘milk’ thrown in for good measure).  I’m sure it was a good one.  :)
But I like this shot simply because of his lips. He has great lips. Meant for kissing. Just like his daddy.  :)

And these shots of Alicia-Rae were taken for some good friends of ours back in England. When Alicia-Rae was born they sent over package apon package of beautiful clothes for her.  We’ve hardly had to buy anything for her up until now.
Being in all different sizings we put bits and pieces away until she grew into them. This is the last of the lot - it’s so gorgeous and girly, I just love it!!

The Sweetest Thing

I’m not technically talking about Alicia-Rae here, though she could easily qualify.  But I just had to share this recent photo of our girl because, to me, the sweetest thing is watching Alicia-Rae with her daddy, and seeing the love between them.  She just adores him. Like mad. And you can bet the feeling’s mutual.

Almost Newborn Photography

I had a session yesterday with an ‘almost newborn’ baby boy.  At 7 weeks he falls just outside of what us photographers would normally classify as a newbie.  But he was as well behaved, perhaps more so, than most newborns I’ve photographed.  He slept almost the whole time I was there, patiently putting up with the prodding and moving we subjected him to, and settling like a dream.  The only time he wasn’t feeling so patient was when he was due from cuddles and feeding from mummy.

After a quick feed we got some wide awake shots of the little guy.  It always maks me wonder what babies have to frown about so often - if only then knew how easy their life is at this point.  :)

And while he was feeding I snuck outside with his 6 year old sister, and had a bit of a play in her gorgeous cubby house.  Taking photographs of her at the same time was a good excuse to relive my childhood, even if only for a few minutes.  :)

Thank you for the lovely afternoon, Tony and Snez. You have a beautiful family, and a gorgeous house (when you’re ready to move on can you let us know :) ).  I’ll be in touch soon when your gallery is ready. I hope you enjoy these in the meantime.

Forgive my tardiness.

I know it’s only been 5 days since I’ve posted, but it feels like forever.
I’ve been battling a chest infection, as has Jaedon.
And Sunday afternoon Alicia-Rae came down with conjunctivitis and has had a fever (40/104) the last two days.  :(
This is her curled up on Nanna’s lap this morning, fast asleep. Both Matt and I are jealous in that she’s never fallen asleep on either of our laps - she’s one of those children that will only ever fall asleep in bed. I guess that’s an indication of how poor she is feeling.

I don’t like it when my babies are sick.  :(
And it’s even tougher to deal with when I’m not 100% myself.
So forgive me if you’re waiting on an email, or a phone call, or just a fresh post.  At least I’ve got one down now.  :)

Friday’s Child

I didn’t actually find out what day she was born on (so she could be a Wednesday’s child, or a Monday’s child…you get the gist), but this is how I spent Friday morning - photographing beautiful Miss N. So, to me, she’s Friday’s child.  :)
Thanks for being patient with me mum and dad. Newborn sessions can be over in an hour, or can last just over three (like this one). But it was definately time well spent.
Your daughter is such a sweet, precious little girl. And so beautiful (but you already know these things).  I hope you feel my work does her justice.
Here are just a few from the session to tide you over.

More to come soon.

I’m christening the new blog with a preview.

Yep, I’m very excited to have my new blog up.  And what better way to kick it off than with a sneak peak from my most recent session.
What a lovely family they are. I spent a bit longer there than I usually do - time just got away.  It was so nice to feel as relaxed as I was while ‘on the job’. Thank you guys.  And thanks Nanny for the biscuit.  I have a feeling I’ll be trying my own hand at them soon enough.

Hope you enjoy your little preview H & D. There’s many more to come. I can’t wait to share them all with you.  :)
