Adelaide Photographer specialising in maternity, newborn, babies and families
Today I had an opportunity to go with photographer friend, Natalie to go and photograph a set of gorgeous girl twins Bailee and Dakota! I certainly couldn’t pass up the experience for some more newborn goodness and what little treasures they were for us and allowed us to get plenty of shots inluding some with big sister!
Sisters three!
and one of big sister on her own
Today I picked up a “brand new” toy to play with! An awesome child sized rocking chair, I thought it would be perfect for photography sessions (for both studio and outdoor). At the moment it is a wood grain colour but am thinking it would look perfect in white and will be used for older babies and toddlers. So if you decide you would like a session with my brand new prop just let me know!
A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She’ll always find him there.
and just one of big brother
I just thought I would tell you the fabulous news that I have made it into the Centro Smile Photography competition as a finalist! Now it’s up to the peoples vote to become a local winner so if you are feeling kind enough you can vote online here: Centro voting form. The photo you need to vote for is at Centro Arndale in SA and it is number 16 (or number 1 in store) and the photo is called Flying high (which I thought would be the perfect title)
It’s actually one of my favourite family session photos too, just look at the joy in his face, certainly brings a smile to my face!
Thanks again for all your ongoing support and don’t forget when you vote online you also go into the draw to win a $5000 shopping spree! How awesome would that be!

Guess what! The weekend is almost here so that must mean that it’s Friday! So here is my favourite photo for you today. I did this session a few months ago for a gorgeous family and their eldest little girl was a bit shy when I first met her but I like a challenge and so managed to bring her out of her shell. Once that was done she was full of giggles and laughter and I enjoyed seeing her shine in the viewfinder . Another aspect of my job that I love is getting to know the families and it’s great to get down to the kids level and interact with them and see the world from their viewpoint. Gosh I love my job so much!

I have received some awesome entries so far but would love to see more!
I know I have said this a million times but I fall more in love with my kids every day! Yes they do have their moments when I want to pull my hair out but other times I just treasure the time we spend together. Their blue eyes mesmerise me and their laughter is heartwarming plus their eyelashes are to die for!
Todays photo was quite a challenge, this session is from back in January and because I had so many favourites from this session I found it really hard to choose just one favourite! Of course this one has been one of my main favourites for a long time. There is just something about a baby bump, carrying that little miracle inside called a human being…
Also don’t forget to keep an eye out for a compeition next week so have those favourite photos ready!
Yesterday morning when we were outside enjoying the last day outside before the rain was about to come back the boys came across a Caterpillar. The were fasinated by it and spent a good half an hour having turns with the Caterpillar lol It was great just to see their wonderment at such a small creature so of course I couldn’t resit taking photos of such a sweet thing as their wonderment at such a small slice of life.
Okay so I have decided that every Friday that I am going to go through all my past sessions and choose one favourite photo to show here. I thought it would keep regular posts ongoing on here and you get to see some more of my past work! So I hope you enjoy Favourite Photo Friday
So todays photo is from about 12 months ago, wow has it really been that long! This was a big fave of mine…I mean just look at those big deep blue eyes! Isn’t he gorgeous!
In about two weeks I will be holding a competition of what your personal favourite photo is and someone will be lucky enough to receive a complimentary photo session, so keep an eye out in the coming weeks!
