Pink and new!

I have been posting here for over a year now...70 posts to be exact!

Well the time has come...and the drums are rolling...not only have I had a bit of a makeover (that's my business, not myself...although I probably need it more!) but I now have a bright, shiny and brand new blog.

I won't be posting here anymore...
I'm hoping to move all these posts over to the new blog..but it's already done my head in too many times. So for now I will keep this one open...and redirect you here.



So make sure you bookmark the new site...and come on over for a look.

I'm very proud of myself....it's been QUITE a steep learning curve!

See you there...

wild boys

When we planned and built our home 4 years ago...we knew it had to be 'boy friendly'. Encouraging our kids to be active and play outdoors has always been important to us.

So a part of the plan was always to have a big, bouncy, 'built into the ground'..trampoline.

...and they still use it, nearly every day!

I'm not sure I will ever get used to the amount of constant action and activity
...from morning until night these boys hardly stop.

Sometimes it's tiring just watching them!

Lucy | Melbourne child photography

My boys are always quite excited when little Lucy comes to visit.

...she is like the little sister that they (well, Charlie) would love to have.

At 18months Lucy is finally able to rough and tumble with the boys..

and had her first try on our trampoline.

Lucy got so excited about this big bouncy mesh...that she quite literally

went wild! Thrashing and throwing herself around..

Elissa and I were in hysterics...and she was having a ball!

I did have some grand plans for cute shots of Lucy peeking out

of the pirate tent, in her co-ordinating outfit

....but they were all having too much fun.

One last shot before she had a much needed nap..

My little boy growing up | Melbourne child portraiture

We had a day out at Montsalvat recently.

It's one of my favourite photographic locations, with so many beautiful buildings,

interesting walls, rooms and unusual spaces.

While my older boys ran around exploring (and their Dad napped on the lawn)

Charlie and I had a wander around together.

He is looking so much older lately, maybe school has done that to him...

or maybe he's just growing up a little faster than I would like?

If you are interested in a photographic session in Montsalvat (Eltham)

(perfect in autumn/winter) just send me an email or give me a call.

Some preview photos for you Bree and Travis:

(and doting Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents)

It was lovely to meet you all.

Gorgeous little man | melbourne baby photography

It is always lovely to meet another beautiful family.

I met gorgeous 7 month old baby Nathan, and his rather stunning Mum and Dad yesterday.

He wasn't too sure about me to begin with...

but by the time I left he was showing me all his tricks

...including his gorgeous smile!

Nathan has the most beautiful big, brown eyes...and the cutest smile.

Here is a preview for you Simone and Glenn:

I will be in touch with you soon.

Gorgeous boys | melbourne photography

Late last week I met Melissa, and her two beautiful boys.

2 year old Jackson was napping when I arrived which gave us the perfect opportunity for some special shots of 12 week old Ryan. He wasn't too happy when I arrived, but after a little nap he was full of smiles...such a cute little man.

Once his big brother awoke it was time to answer his many questions..and take some extra shots...with a few bribes thrown in of course!

Here are some preview photos for you Melissa and Jayson.

I will be in touch when your gallery is ready.

The little mermaid | Melbourne child photography

About a year ago I took this beautiful photograph of sweet baby Jaqueline.

Last year it won the Best Print (novice section) at the Whittlesea show:

I was thrilled on the weekend to be invited back to photograph Jaquelines 1st Birthday celebrations...

Here she is in her sandpit...the cutest little mermaid:

Thanks so much Jim and Enza. Such a beautiful family.

It was lovely to see how your precious daughter has grown!

I will have your gallery ready soon.

Divine baby boy | newborn photography

I often feel incredibly fortunate to do what I do...especially when I meet another tiny newborn baby...

Look at this gorgeous little man. He was so good today - sleeping and being super cute:

Thankyou so much Jo and Chris...it was lovely to meet you both and your beautiful baby.

I will be in touch soon.

Beside the sea-side | Melbourne family photography

After a week of grief and sadness in Victoria, it almost felt unfair to be enjoying a weekend away.

We camped at beautiful Sorrento, Victoria.

Flags at half mast in the main St:

A week after the horrific fires, and the sun still rises in a smoky haze:

We had wanted to enjoy some time together as a family...which we did.

The Sorrento back-beach was such a stunning location:

The boys had a really great day on the beach:

BUSHFIRE RELIEF FUND special offer

Our family, along with all Australians, has been devastated by the horrific events of February 7th 2009.

The bushfires (which continue to burn) have destroyed entire communities, homes and, most sadly, lives.

Australians are incredible people, especially in times of need.

The generosity and outpouring of grief has been quite humbling.

Inspired by a wonderful photographer in NSW KrisLeigh I have decided to donate all session fees until the end of March to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal.

To take advantage of this offer here's what you need to do:

Donate $100 via the Red Cross Website

Email me a copy of your electronic receipt, and arrange a session time.

Please contact me first to secure your session as only 5 sessions are available during this time.

As an added bonus there will be no min package spend for these sessions.

Our thoughts and love go out to everyone affected by the fires this week.

Gorgeous times three | melbourne family photographer

I finally met Effi, John and their three gorgeous children, on Sunday.
After cancelling Saturday because of extreme heat, then a last minute change of plans as it was raining when we arrived at the park...we finally managed to get together at Nonna's house!

Beautiful Miss M surprised me with her enthusiasm for the camera...and just look how sweet she is with those gorgeous curls..
Her 11 month old twin brothers weren't quite as happy in front of the camera...but they really behaved beautifully, and were quite exhausted by the time I had finished.

Here is a preview for you..

I will be in touch soon, when your gallery is ready..
