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?

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.

It’s hard to imagine that just three years ago that I had only just given birth to my now 3 year old Ethan! In three years he has grown from just a tiny newborn in very busy on the go 3 year old!

I thought I would share some photos of him when he was little (and before I really knew about photography lol) and then some of him from today with some more of him with his new trainset, he has quite a collection to play with now!

This was taken while still in hospital, isn’t he tiny and check out all that hair!

Tristan and Ethan adore each other although they do have their moments sometimes!

And just some of  master Ethan from this morning

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!

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.

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the adorable Riley, talk about smiles, he was such a happy little guy with grins galore!

Tiffany I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch soon!

Today was a busy day for me as I had two sessions today with two gorgeous babies! This first session was on 9 month old Lucy. She has the bluest of eyes and such an adorable grin! Doesn’t she look so cute in my skirt from Princess Ratbag and the antique couch which I got from Wohlers.

Amanda I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch with you soon regarding your full gallery!

The one thing I love about my job is the photographing of those very first weeks when a baby is born. there is nothing more special them capturing those very first memories of a families love for each other. Today I got to photograph the gorgeous 7 week old Emily! Even though I find this age hard as they are in that between age of not being about to get those curly shots and not able to sit up as yet I was surprised at how strong she was so we got some nice on belly shots instead as well as some candid family images too.

Anyway enough of my rambling and will just introduce you to Miss Emily!
