Adelaide Photographer – Sweet Chilli Philly Photography

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 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.

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!

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!

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!
