Earth Mother { Brisbane Maternity Photographer }

This is another catch up blog post from my maternity leave and shows of the beautiful belly of a woman who I've had the pleasure of photographing on a few occasions now. I've known S for half my life so I consider her extended family and she is one of the sweetest people and natural mothers I've met. S was about 36 weeks pregnant with her second child - a little boy - here. We went with some very relaxed lifestyle type family images for the indoors shots and for outdoors we were trying to capture some images that really showed who S is as a person, some shots that were earthy and natural and maybe have a touch of something ethereal about them.

You would never know - { Brisbane Maternity Photographer }

You would never know from looking at these images that this mumma to be has been sick the whole way through the pregnancy. She looks so happy and glowing and is very much anticipating the arrival of a little girl this month. Thanks so much to K and C for letting me photograph you during this wait for your daughter - I can't wait to meet her, I'm sure she will be every bit as sunny as her mummy. :)

Not even rain could stop this couple! ~ Brisbane Wedding Photographer

This is a belated wedding post - from January in fact. B & T got married on a wet weekend just before the flooding occurred - lucky! We were even more fortunate in that the drizzle and showers that occurred the day prior and that morning stopped for just a little while. The ceremony still got moved inside but we managed some outdoors shots. How photogenic is this bride and groom?! They were stunning. Thanks for letting me capture your day - I hope you have a wonderful life together.

Shorncliffe Wedding - a Perfect day. { Brisbane Wedding Photographer }

About a week before the wedding I shot Jacinta off an email saying "Do you have a wet weather contingency plan?" because it had been WET in Brisbane. October was the month that saw bridges go under, road washed out and homes being flooded all over and looking at the forecasted weather (extended) it really looked like we were going to be rained out. But the weather turned out to be just perfect on Jacinta and Jeremy's wedding day with not a drop of rain in sight.

All brides are meant to be beautiful on their wedding day and Jacinta certainly fit that. She was absolutely stunning and Jeremy looked so happy throughout. Both Kelly (my second shooter) and I kept commenting on how Jeremy was just smiling away all the time making our job easier. Clearly we weren't the only ones to be a bit awed by our bride...standing on the jetty a little girl walked by with her Mum and Dad and said, "Mummy, when I get married can I have a veil on the beach?" Hehe, beautiful.

Jacinta and Jeremy enjoy this small sneak peek at your wedding day. Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph it for you. May you enjoy your lives together.

The Sweetest Thing { Brisbane Newborn Photographer }

Last weekend I drove down to Brisbane to have an early birthday lunch for my grandfather and to finally meet my cousin's brand new baby boy. My cousin S and I are 8 years apart and I can clearly remember her as a baby. I've always loved babies, I was one of those little girls who was still pushing a doll pram around at 10 and dressing my dolls and feeling guilty if I forgot to give one 'attention'. S and my brother L are born just over a month apart with S the older of the two and because our family is quite close knit I had the best of both worlds with a baby brother and a baby girl cousin who I loved like a sister. Anyway, seeing S's little baby C just felt like seeing a little S again. He is one of the cutest newborn's I've seen, with little tiny rolls of gorgeous chubbiness already and beautiful blue eyes. These were my two favourites from his newborn session. Welcome to the world, little one.

Sneak Peek - August Mini Sessions { Brisbane Family Photographer }

Another sneak peek from the August mini sessions!

August Mini - Sessions { Brisbane Family Photographer }

What a blast the mini sessions were last weekend! I had heaps of fun photographing everyone, even though the poor kids had a hard time containing themselves so close to the playground. Maybe the next mini shoots should be at the beach instead! ;-)

Here is a sneak peek for one of the families.

Expressive Little Bean { Brisbane Newborn Photographer }

On the weekend I had the pleasure of meeting little baby R at his home and taking his picture. His Mummy has been taking beautiful photos of him since he was born so I already had seen what a complete cutie he is. And so much hair! I was lucky enough to meet his Mummy, Daddy, both grandmas and his uncle and see how utterly adored he is. Just like all babies should be. :) Here is a sneak peek of some of the images from his session. We managed to catch him frowning and smiling. Enjoy.

Twins { Brisbane Newborn Photographer }

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph these two tiny little girls. They were both absolutely adorable and very good little models.
