Adelaide Photographer – Sweet Chilli Philly Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi, my name is Phillippa (Philly) and welcome to my photography blog! My style is fresh, fun and natural and I specialise in baby and family portraiture, I offer both studio and on location photography and service the Ingle Farm, Adelaide CBD and surrounding suburbs of Adelaide.

During your session I ask that you be prepared to let go and have fun, I like to keep my sessions nice and relaxed with no pressure to slot you into a set time frame. I am not a person that likes to rush.

You will see me getting down to your children's level while getting to know both you and your family. My aim is to provide you with images that capture the essence of you and result in portraits that make you smile each time you look at them.

On this blog you can keep up to date with my most recent client sneak peeks as well as my other personal photographic work and all the latest news and updates that I will be bringing to SCPP.

I hope you enjoy your stop here at Sweet Chilli Philly Photography and I want to thank you for all the ongoing comments! I love reading them all!

Baylee – 5 days {Adelaide newborn photographer}

Sunday, February 7, 2010

Today I had the sweetest little five day old, Baylee. He is the youngest that I have ever had in the studio but he definitely kept me on my toes. With only the shortest sleeping time where I snapped a quick few, he decided to stay awake or fought just on the edge of sleep but honestly he had the most gorgeous eyes so much so that it didn’t matter that we didn’t get a heap of curly sleepy shots, we got some beautiful shots of him awake instead! Isn’t he gorgeous!

Alan and Jess, congratulations on the birth of your little boy, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch soon!

Self portrait catch up {Adelaide photographer}

Monday, February 1, 2010

Sorry I’ve been so busy with sessions I haven’t had a chance to update my blof with my self portraits so thought now would be a good time. So here you go:

Week 4


No really story to this one, I thought I would go for a moody shot, it’s great fun now that I have a wireless remote!

Week 5

Ethan was determined to be in this weeks photo and to be honest I love this shot of us togther!

Week 6

Okay this one is probably a little depressing lol as it’s how I’m feeling at the moment and I’m trying to be as honest with these SP as I can.

Sometimes things get the best of me and all I want to do is curl up into a little ball and close my eyes. Sometimes I wish the world would rewind time and I can start things over, sadly this cannot be done and I cannot change how things are.

There is light at the end of the tunnel it’s just a matter of how long it takes to get there…I will get there but at the moment I just wish things had happened a little different.

A beautiful wedding {Adelaide wedding photographer}

Thursday, January 28, 2010

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the most gorgeous couple M & J. It was a beautiful touching ceremony with the beach only just metres away which is perfect from a photographers opinion. Although it started out quite windy it did manage to calm down and we got that beautiful sunset come through, it was just stunning! You could just see their love shining through for each other which makes a wedding so heartwarming…

Here is just a few shots from their special day…

Lincoln – 11 months {Adelaide baby photographer}

Monday, January 25, 2010

Today was a session the cutest little mite, 11 month old Lincoln. Although also very much on the move and as challenging as this session was Lincoln put on his little charm and played it up for the camera. He also had this funny tongue sticking out thing happening which just had me in giggles.

Anyway Tess I hope you enjoy your sneak peek of your little man and I will be in touch soon with your gallery.

Connor -13 months {Adelaide baby photographer}

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Connor who is 13 months old, with such dark brown eyes and an adorable little grin it was a delight to take his photographs although he was very quick for such a little guy and I’m sure his mum was pretty exhausted having to chase him the entire session! Well it was certainly worth it and we got some beautiful shots of this little chap.

Kahlene, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek of your adorable little guy and I will be in touch with you soon!
