Everyday Beauties

I've always been a huge fan of the peach blossoms that seem to appear almost overnight as winter prepares to turn to spring. One day the trees are nothing but bare skeletons and then the next a few blossoms appear and within days the entire tree covered in pale pink blossoms with a dark pink centre that are impossibly beautiful to look at. I can't stop wandering over to the window to peer out at them. There is something entrancing about a tree with no leaves but covered in flowers. On the way to Kingaroy from Nanango the sides of the road are pitted with tons of these types of blossoms on leaf-bare trees - I'm not sure what type of tree they are or if they're actually a nuisance to the natural landscape but they're insanely beautiful to look at. It's times like that that I just love this part of the country and think there is no way I could ever return to suburbia.

We have a few stone fruit trees in our backyard that have been dreadfully neglected as while I was pregnant I couldn't bear the thought of yard work with my dodgy pelvis much less actually do it. So while I doubt I'll get as many beautiful blossoms as I usually do it was still a pleasure to see them start arriving. Before you know it it will be Jacaranda-Go-Purple day in September.

Little Miss M - { Nanango Newborn Photographer }

I know, I know. I'm the world's worst blogger and I'm terribly behind on sessions. This is little Miss M who's mummy I took photos of way back here. Miss M made the two hour trip out to Nanango from Brisbane when she wasn't even 2 weeks old. I'm assured she slept the whole way - even babies like outings to the country!

Mine - { Personal Post }

Well my littlest girl is 12 weeks old today. I can barely believe that much time has gone by since we welcomed her into our lives. Evie will be our last baby and I was anxious to capture every detail of her, to savour it and remember it. Barely a day has gone by where I haven't photographed her and she is a typical photographer's child - HATES the camera. If she's not avoiding it completely she instead becomes completely enthralled by the lens and stares totally deadpan into it even if she was smiling and chortling to me only seconds before. These are some of my favourite photos of my little bean.

Gorgeous Baby R and her lovely locks - Nanango Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing baby R's mumma when she was pregnant so I was quite excited to meet this little one. R and my baby Evie were only born a couple of weeks apart and May babies are super cute :-P. As you can see she has been blessed with AMAZING hair! It was so lovely, long and thick, she was totally adorable.

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. :)

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.

Quiet Afternoon - Priceless! { Nanango Child Photographer }

One $2 wooden whistle and my little 2 year old has been kept happy and amused all afternoon. Amazing!

Birthday Girl { Nanango Child Photographer }

Yesterday was my second daughters birthday and she turned 11. It's flown by really, it seems like only yesterday she was a tiny little thing with fuzzy blonde hair (and hardly any of it) who loved pink and dresses and cats. And now here she is still with blonde hair but wouldn't wear pink if it was the last thing in her wardrobe. She still loves cats though. :)

Here are some of my favourite shots of her from yesterday. Happy Birthday Bella.
