Adelaide Photographer – Sweet Chilli Philly Photography

The other day I photographed the most adorable baby girl Emma, she had the most beautiful eyes and gave me such a serious face although we did get some smiles in the end.

Karen and Stephen, thanks so much for letting me capture your family!

Last week I had a gorgeous little girl called Jessica! As we know 2.5 year old’s can be quite a challenge when it comes to wanting to sit still to get their photographs taken. Luckily I’m pretty relaxed with my sessions and prefer to wait in between to get those casual shots …even if they aren’t looking straight at the camera. She also had quite a liking for my little couch too and loved to play games with Mum and Dad while I snapped away.

Michele and Dave, thankyou for letting me photograph your little princess, she is just divine!

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 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.

The Australian Community of Child Photographers ACOCP Announces the 2010 Heartfelt Exhibition – Melbourne June 1-14 2010.

Please support this wonderful cause by sharing this image and spreading the word.

Unfortunately due to family circumstances I can’t make it this year although I went to the opening in Sydney last year but I hope there are those that are able to go, honestly it’s such a worthwhile cause to be able to offer these families a gift during such a difficult time.

Today I got to photograph the 5 day old miss Mackenzie and she was pretty much out like a light for the whole entire session, she was a dream to photograph and even gave me some gorgeous wind smiles too!

Lee-Anne I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch soon!

For those that don’t know the Australian Community of Child Photographers  has recently been formed and I am very happy to volunteer my time and energy to this valuable cause.

The ACOCP is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses.

In difficult times parents do not always consider the importance of documenting their little moments and closeness of family until those moments have passed. The ACOCP is dedicated to providing this gift to your families in a caring, compassionate and heartfelt manner.

Today’s session was with dear little Cooper who is about to make a big trip to Melbourne to have heart surgery. He has such spirit and a gorgeou grin and just look at those big blue eyes of his!

Bronny and Stephen I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I wish Cooper all the best for his operation!

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!
