Beaten by a two year old! {Children's Photographer Melbourne}

2009-03-05T21:43:00.004+11:00

Not long ago a photographed the gorgeous little Zac and his two year old brother James. Poor James hated the sight of my camera so we didn't get too many smiles on the day nor did we get a family shot of the four of them (we had to settle on a family of three!) Amanda and Drew decided they would like me to try again for another session as we thought perhaps James might be used to me etc. Well - yep I admit it - I have been defeated in this case! Normally kids love me but in poor James case he really really hates cameras. I was glad to hear that it wasn't just me and my camera - it's actually any camera pointed in the direction of him!) At least we got a photo of the whole family this time and of course some more gorgeous shots of beautiful little Zac. {Amanda & Drew - thanks for having me over for another try - Please give me a call when James overcomes his camera phobia and I'II definitely give it another go - maybe third time lucky?}

Love Love this one - A gorgeous quiet moment!

A Birthday Surprise? (Family Photography Melbourne}

2009-02-24T14:27:00.007+11:00

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of photograhping brother and sisters Nicole, Melissa & Jamie. They decided to get some photos done as a suprise for their mum's 50th Birthday but due to a last minute cancellation a few weeks ago the secret was out! The location was at Hawkestowe Park in South Morang which is a fantastic spot with a lake, old homestead and heaps of rustic buildings and walls for backdrops (a photographers dream!) I must admit - taking photos of adults is SO much easier than running after a two year old - it was nice for a change!LOL
{Guys - hope the process wasn't too painful for you (I much prefer to be behind the camera myself!) I am sure your mum will love them! Will be in touch soon with your completed gallery.}

{My Cheeky Monkey} - Children's Photography Melbourne

2009-02-07T22:17:00.006+11:00

Obviously the heat in Melbourne had made my middle child Cooper crazy today - as soon as the cool change came he was outside naked running around with the hose (tank water of course!). Next minute - here he is making a mud puddle and lovin it! So hard to get angry with this one - he has such a cheeky but adorable personality!LOL

Also last week I took the boys to Hawkestowe Park as I am having a session there very soon. Took a few shots of my willing model - can't you just see in the photos his fake cheesy grin - look like he his saying to me take the photo mum - get it over with!lol

{Boys with Curls}

2009-02-04T22:11:00.008+11:00

Meet little James and his baby brother Zach. Zach had the most amazing mop of gorgeous curls I have ever seen - so gorgeous! Apparently his big brother had the same when he was a baby. He was full of smiles and so happy on the day. Little James - well he decided to be a typical two year old - don't think he liked me or my big camera very much but we did manage to ge a few smiles and beautiful stares out of him. (Amanda & Drew - so lovely to meet you last weekend - your boys are just devine - looks like you might just have to have a family photo of three - not looking too good at this stage!LOL Will be in touch shortly with your completed gallery}

{Shhh - Baby Finally Sleeping!}Newborn Photography Melbourne

2009-01-25T12:10:00.007+11:00

The result from my recent maternity session - meet the gorgeous Lachlan (love the name as it's the same as my big boy). Born about a week overdue and weighing at at 4.25kg!! When Luke emailed me letting me know that he had arrived I think I was in shock that he was so big! Little Lachlan decide to be a cat napper on the day of his session so I had to be quick in capturing him fast asleep. The results of him peacefully asleep were well worth the wait. {Vina and Luke thank -you for having me over to capture your beautiful boy and sorry it took so long - hope he slept for a you all night!LOL Will be in touch shortly with your completed gallery}

{Quiet Moments} Children's Photographer Melbourne

2009-01-14T22:53:00.003+11:00

I have been inspired by so many people to start taking photos of my children ' in the moment'. Poor Jack - I have been so slack with his baby album - it stops at five months - the time I got my camera. I forgot to take these kind of shots as I was so busy learning and trying to capture the perfect 'one'. Over time I realised that these ones - although beautiful - never really captured the 'real' them. My goal with my own children this year is to capture them as they are - learning to take photos with emotion so that they tell a story of who they truley are. So Jack baby - this is for you - the real you- on a normal day, dirty as ever, doing what you do x

I am supposed to be taking a photo a day of my kids for the Jan challenge. Not really succeeding every day so mine will just be every now and then.

I actually loved his crazy all over the place hair but my hubby hated it!( I think it was just me wanting to grow it a bit longer as I don't have any girls!!LOL) And also here is a pic below of my new baby ...! My beautiful new Jill e camera bag - it so gorgeous! Merry Christmas everyone - I hope you all have a wonderful break!

2008-11-05T20:27:00.004+11:00

It was great to spend some time with these two gorgeous boys last weekend for their photograhpy session. When I pointed the camera in little Zane's direction he would say in a very small voice 'smile' So cute! Sometimes I wish I had a video camera to capture those moments. His big brother Kai was definate model material and had no problem 'striking a pose' as you can see in his photo! {Thanks Anita & Brett - enjoy your sneak peak and will be in contact when your gallery is ready}

{Busy Busy Bee} Baby Photography Melbourne

2008-11-03T21:28:00.008+11:00

I have been quite busy in the last few weeks with lots of sessions. Part of the reason I love doing my job is that I get to spend some time with some gorgeous babies and kids and experience all the different stages they go through.
Last week I photographed brother and sister Darcy and Georgia and their cousin Ashley. I had previously taken photos for them for a large family photo but this time is was the kids turn. Ashley was around six months old so we had lots of smiles- I love this age as they are happy, have great eye contact but the best bit is they can't move! Pretty much a photographers dream! Little Georgia was 3 months and had just discovered her hands so she had them madly waving about or in her mouth - so cute!) Darcy being two - was you typical two year old. Didn't quite like me chasing him around with my camera but we got their in the end! (Stasia & Megan - thanks so much for having me over - enjoy your sneak peak and will be in touch once your gallery is completed)

{Happy Family} Children's Photographer Melbourne

2008-10-28T16:50:00.009+11:00

I had the pleasure of photographing my very first set of twins. Little Bobby & Edie were absolutely gorgeous and were so good for me. Bobby was so placid and allowed me to curl him up into lots of positions (we have great one for his 21st - far too rude to show on here!) while his little sister Edie was a 'typical girl'!!
