Today as promised I have a few photos to share. Yesterday I met little Master R, today I got to meet his big brothers! We had a lovely afternoon playing and doing the things 8 Year old boys like to do! They took it in turns showing me how well they could ride their scooters and ribstick, then we moved on to ball skills! They like to play football and soccer so we did both! Then we went inside to get a few of Baby R in his nursery! before we updated the family portrait, we ended with a funny shot that we knew the boys would be keen to be in!
I love Lifestyle shoots where I get to hang out with the family capturing their everyday life. Life in that relaxed mode that you can only capture at home! Here are a few of my favourite shots! I look forward to meeting with Angela on Friday when she is going to pick out an image to use as Baby R’s announcement! And I can’t wait to start designing their coffee table book!

And lastly the completed family having some fun!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! And making the most of the glorious weather we are having! I will be back next weekend with some Wedding photos!

Thanks for stopping by!

I have been stuck in the house since Tuesday with a sick little boy so I actually enjoyed going shopping today, which is something I normally HATE! Then this afternoon my older two allowed me to photograph them…. oh the privilege. I got some lovely shots and can finally start putting their birthday albums together. I make an album each year for their birthdays as a keep sake. This year we have been really busy and had lots of illness so it has been a month since my daughters birthday, better late than never though. And taking a look at the photos I can say that the wait was worth it!!!

Here are a few of my favourites! I have even been promised that we can get some more shots tomorrow…. I’d like to say my children love doing things that make their Mum happy but truth is…. while shopping today I might have got some info on updating our game console after a miserable night on our very old play station! and ummm well unless I get the birthday albums well all you parents out there know the rest of the story…hehehheheheh!!!! Some mums would want breakfast in bed… I want subjects to photograph!

I have my wine poured and feel great that I got to get out today and even better my camera came out of it’s bag!!! 4 days in a bag is a long time for this photo crazy lady…..

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!!

I had a call yesterday from a lady who wanted to give the gift of custom Photography to one of her best friends, so this morning I have put on my design hat and come up with a Gift Certificate. This is what I came up with! Very simple yet hopefully elegant. I will get some designed by a graphic designer I think but for now I have them available so if you would like to purchase one let me know!

I can make them out to any amount you choose, so if you think this will make the perfect gift for someone you love let me know!

Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful winter sun! I am about to get my hammock out and have a sleep in the sun I think. I have a cold I really want to shake! especially as I have a newborn session coming up!

THanks for stopping by

I can’t believe my eldest is 13! I am the mum of a teenager…. sure we all sit back and say how did that happen? We only brought him home from hospital a few months back??? how did 13 years fly so fast?

Well it has and he is 13! and I am the mother of a 13 year old, which of course means I am getting old too…..

Cam big love and hugs to you from all of us! Hope you had a great day ( and that you prove to be a good teenager – no need to turn into a moody monster now that we don’t recognise….) stay just as you are.

Here he is my beautiful boy!

Can’t image how quickly that milkshake will turn to a beer at the pub…. hoping time slows down a little and gives me the chance to get used to the idea of you being a man…..

Love you Always
Mum

It has been so wet lately that it is near impossible to sit and concentrate at the computer without going outside. So I took my camera out and my little ones favourite Bubbles! and I managed to grab a few images of each of my three. Always exciting when I get time to photograph my own babies! Although it is getting harder each day to capture Mr 13 as you can tell by his photo! lol! oh well I still got one and it is him as he is now…..

Hope everyone else is having a relaxing weekend and making the most of the wonderful winter sunshine!

Don’t forget all the special offers I have at the moment! Look forward to hearing from you soon!

So its time to book your Christmas session! Can you believe Christmas has come so quickly? Well technically we still have plenty of time if we plan well. See having the session means I have the files but you can’t very well give them as a gift. So we need to have all sessions finished by the 23rd of October so that we have plenty of time to get prints ordered and albums designed, as well as giving the framer time to frame the beautiful prints you give to your loved ones as Christmas Gifts! So heres how Christmas sessions will work this year!

Sessions will be held in October you have a choice of 4 dates – 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd. Orders will have to be placed and paid for by the 6th of November 2010 so that I can promise Christmas delivery.

Each session comes with 10 5×7 prints and 2 8×10 prints. These sessions are valued at $695 but as a Christmas special they will cost you only $275, that is a savings of $420!!!! There is also the chance to grab some fantastic bonuses. See the image below for details.

There is no limit on how many families you can have at your session, as each family pays $275 and each family gets there own set of prints. So a great time to get the extended family together and get some great Christmas Gifts for the grandparents. There is even the chance to get the Grandparents an Album as a bonus gift!!!!

The Booking fee of $275 per family is payable within 7 days of booking, and due to the time of year and the discounts being offered I can not hold session times if the booking fee is not paid. You can hold your session within a 1/2 an hour drive of The Lower Blue Mountains, if you have a group of 3 or more families then you can choose your location up to 2 hours drive of The Lower Blue Mountains.

So get the family together and book your session,

Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi everyone,

What a wet miserable day we are having here today! I did have plans for a picnic and bike ride but had to cancel! SO I have spent the afternoon coming up with a great promotion for the month of August!
I make no secret of the fact that I love WINTER!!! but it seems not everyone agrees! Why do I love winter? Well the light is amazing…. I can take photos all day without worrying about the harsh summer sun giving deep shadows and glare, as well as the dreaded sun flare that are all issues I work around in summer! In winter you can take images in the full sun and the light is so soft and flattering. Then there are the snuggly clothes, the hats and beanies, as well as the scarfs and big thick winter coats!

So I have put together a special for the month of August to see if I can get a few of you to see the advantage of the Winter session!  All sessions will come with a bonus 8×10 inch print, so if you also sign a model release you will in fact get two bonus 8×10 inch prints. You can then choose to order more prints or products from my A La Carte price list or if you choose to purchase a package you will have the choice of even more bonuses. Don’t forget you can also add Digital files to your order too now!

Here is a beautiful image I took of my Daughter at the beach this winter! with all the details!

This image is definitely going to be in her 11th Birthday album! I love that my children were all born during great light months!! lol!!

Keep dry everyone! and seriously give some thought to a WINTER SESSION!!!! contact me here if you are tempted!

I finally took my little one out today to play with bubbles. We bought them ages ago and after putting them up out of the way forgot about them, until today when I was clearing out my space and I came across them. Bubbles are so much fun I don’t thing there is anyone that does not crack a smile when a child chases bubbles!
I went overboard on images to blog as I can’t choose which ones not to share…. So much fun! even seeing these he was in hysterics!

How cute is he? even after he was attacked by a thorn bush! I could have Photoshopped that out but I think it is all part of childhood! So I want to remember that!

Ok off to cook a few meals to get us through the week! School is back!!!! One day left of holidays and then its back to lunches and homework!, early rises and uniforms!!! Blah countdown til the October Holidays I think!!!!

thanks for stopping by!

I have another announcement – I am now offering Digital files.. I was getting asked quite often for Digital negatives and was quite hesitant in offering them as I did not want to compromise the quality of prints that My wonderful clients received. At the same time I realise that people want to share their images online and up load them to their mobiles and Ipod/Pads and of course use them as screen savers and in their Digital frames. So I have come up with a compromise that I think will be perfect. Once you have ordered a certain level of Pro quality images you can either purchase or receive the Digital files as a bonus. I think this is a great idea, as I said I do understand why people want the files, But I don’t want clients to miss out on the high quality product that I offer. The digital files will be converted to a colour space that is compatible with your local mini lab, as this colour space is much smaller than the colour space my Pro lab uses you will notice a difference in the vibrancy and depth of the colours but as you will have a range of images/Albums/canvas mounts etc… I am sure you will be OK with this and of course I will still hold the larger file so you can also order further prints later if you choose. If you are interested head into the tab at the top that says prices… all the details are there….

As promised I will release the details of the Christmas Packages in the next few weeks….. If you are interested you can drop me an email to reserve a spot! the dates again for the Christmas special are 2nd,9th,16th and 23rd of October….. And extended families are more than welcome!

Now for a few images! I love winter!!! I only like going to the beach in winter…. Weird I know. but the sky is always so Blue! and you can sit on the beach and feel good about sitting in the sun. No chance of sun burn! So we usually go to the beach during winter for a holiday! Which is what we did this winter break. I think maybe by the time we move to the UK I might like the beach in summer? but for now I will continue to enjoy my winter beach trips!

Here are a few reasons I love the beach in Winter!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

I like to put an album together each year of my children. It’s a lovely idea that I do each year around their birthday. This way I remember when it’s time to do their album and it is my little extra gift to them, where they get to spend a day being pampered by Mum. This year I attempted to do this while on our little Down South break. It was not so successful so we have some time put aside next week just Lou and I. All she wanted was for me to hurry so she did not miss out on what Mark was doing with the boys ( he was just playing with them to keep them out of our way? ) Anyway I managed a few so thought I’d share a couple here!

I can not believe how fast time flies!

I have also updated my prices tab and the special offers to include a special package I have put together for Newborn sessions. If you are pregnant at the moment or know someone that is please take a look! It is such a gorgeous time to capture your baby and those first moments of babies life. I have a studio set up in my home especially for newborns, which together with a few props we can create a custom set of images for you to cherish forever! It is best to book in your session as soon as you can as we need the session to be as flexible as possible. The way I take bookings for newborns is just around the time of expected birth? that way if they arrive early or a little late, as you are pencilled in I can be flexible with the time slots knowing I am expecting you! The package has been put together to include 20 copies of your favourite image so you can hand them out to everyone without leaving yourself without a copy! Perfect for popping in with your thank you card, to all those that spoil your little one when he arrives! There are a few examples of my Newborn work here! Go and check it out… no one can resist a newborn!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
