Adelaide Photographer – Sweet Chilli Philly Photography

The one thing that is good when bargaining with your three year old is when you know that they wont turn down the bargain of sharing your birthday malteasers (and yes there are some leftover as it was a huge box given by my inlaws – they know my love of chocolate!) so Ethan happily lent me himself  for a mini shoot and boy did I get some poses lol! Oh and he loved the malteasers…gobbling them up extra quick!

So do you think he’s had enough now?

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Amber, Daniel and their new baby girl Annabelle. You could just see how in love they were with their new addition to the family, they were such a gorgeous family to photograph. This is what I love about my job is capturing these very first moments of life…

Thanks so much Amber and Daniel for letting me to photograph your beautiful family!

So without further ado let me introduce you to miss Annabelle!

I would like to welcome you to the new look Sweet Chilli Philly Photography! This has been a long time coming and I really couldn’t have done it without the wonderful Netra who worked tirelessly on my logo and cute little animals that will now be apart of my branding and marketing material.

I hope you love the fresh new look as much as I do!

Feel free to leave a comment below with some feedback if you like, I would love to know what you think!

I am turning the big 30 on the 1st of March so to celebrate this milestone (since the turning 30 is meant to be the new 20’s) I  have decided for the whole of March to offer my $100 session fee at the smallest of price (and wont be repeated) of $30!!! So it’s a small $30 for me turning the big 30!

There is only 3 spots left for this special so make sure to get your bookings in now before I get fully booked out! Email me at ssmoke@adam.com.au for more information.

Yesterday evening I got to photograph the gorgeous little Blake and his mum Marije. It was his first time in the sand so I think he was more interested in the new textures he was feeling between his toes but in between the unsureness we got a few smiles too!

Thanks so much Marije for letting me photograph your little man and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, I’ll be in touch soon with the rest of your gallery.

Thanks to Disability SA we received some free tickets to go to the Adelaide Zoo and also to see the Panda’s and we decided to use it as a bit of a gift to Ethan for his birthday. The boys had loads of fun seeing all the different animals and I think that Ethan was that bit older now that he understood a bit more about the animals and took it in a bit more rather than last time where he fell asleep through most of it! So here is a few photos from oour day…and couldn’t forget the Panda’s either, they are so cute!

Sorry about the overload of photos but I do love photographing all the different animals!

Stopping for lunch, Ethan loved his sausage and onion!

And of course the famous Panda’s Wang Wang and Funi!

Sorry you’ll have to excuse the reflection on the glass of this one

And just one of the boys with the statue of Panda’s although Ethan kept hiding behind one of the ears, lol!

Just a bit of a personal post tonight from me, though I would show my two most recent images from my self portrait challenge and just a few recent images that I took over the last few days. Even my cat Jasper, who I’ve had since I was 18 (I’m 30 next month!) has snuck into a couple of shots.

I hope you enjoy them!

Self portrait – Week 7 – Couldn’t resist doing a shot with my gorgeous boys!

Self portrait – Week 8

And just a few other images.

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!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the gorgeous Tara, her beautiful baby bump and her husband Paul! With such stunning golden light and beautiful surrounds there wasn’t anything that could go wrong with this session. They were such a relaxed couple and wonderful to photograph.

Tara and Paul I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I wish you all the best for the next six weeks or so before baby arrives, can’t wait to hear the good news!

Today I had the adorable 6.5 month old Harper, it took awhile for her to warm up to me but with my special Mr Frog ( my newly brought puppet that makes a croaking sound) and with Mum and Dad’s help  we got some really gorgeous smiles out of her.

Thanks so much for today Stacey and Grant, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch with you both soon!
