I was very excited to hear that Hayley and Gary, who would have to be one of the sweetest couples I’ve met and who are regular clients of mine, had become engaged.

To mark the occasion, Hayley called me up to book an engagement session, which she wanted to have in their lovely new home with their fur baby Bronte.

Although it was about the lovely couple, Bronte certainly stole the show!

I met the Cameron family in the studio a few weeks ago. Talk about photogenic, gorgeous girls!

Thought I’d show a few of my favourites from their session….

I met baby Skyla just after Christmas. She was due on Christmas Day, but thankfully for her Mum and Dad, she came a few days early. She was such a good little bub, which meant I managed to capture images of her whilst she was awake and asleep!

Here are a few images from Skyla’s session.

Had a great family portrait session in the studio with the Kelly family last week.

The boys were such great little models for me, with both of them showing so much patience at being in front of the camera.

Here are a few shots from their session…

I caught up with Hayley and Gary and the family at the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.

I met Hayley and Gary last year with Hayley’s family when it was a warm Summer day, it couldn’t really have been much more different to the day we had this year! It was cold and raining, so out came the brollies!

Here are a few sneak peeks from their session…

I had a great portrait session with the May family recently, the same family that I photographed when Talleah was only 5 weeks old. It was lovely to see how much Allira and Talleah had grown, since it’s been about 18 months since our first session.

The girl’s mum Kylie, had a great idea to bring along some helium balloons and bubbles, which certainly made for some fun – the girls loved them!

Check out the red throughout the collection….(for those who know me, you know how much I LOVE the colour red!)

Here are a few of my favourites from the session……

I photographed two beautiful sisters (and one boyfriend!) in the studio as a gift for their father’s birthday. The camera loved both of these girls, which you can see from these few shots from their session…

Catching up on some much needed blogging! I met Mia and Andy at Edge in Geelong for a quiet indoor photo session, which ended up along the waterfront. I love the effect of the studded wall, it’s a favourite spot of mine to use as a backdrop.

Here are a few shots from their session.

A rare opportunity to photograph Wil and Scarlett today so I thought I’d show them off!

Normally these two little ones are the ones that run from the camera and refuse to have their photo taken. Must have been the novelty of a new location for them that allowed me to take a few shots before they decided they’d had enough!

I met 3 week old Jacob and his family last week.  He was a great little model for me, although he stayed awake for most of the session!  All of the babies I’ve been photographing lately don’t want to sleep and have been such alert little things!

Here’s a sneak peek for Susie and Ben…

Thought I’d better catch up on some blogging of recent sessions – I have so many just sitting there, so I will try to get them up soon!

Here are some shots from the session I did with five month old Oscar and his parents – Sarah and Gerry. Check out his blue eyes!

I met baby Ezekia this week – such a gorgeous little boy!  He was such an alert little thing and was always looking at the camera.  I photographed him in a Kava Bowl from Fiji, which is where Ezekia’s father is from. Here are just a few sneek peaks for his mum and dad….

Thought I’d post a few sneak peeks from the session I had on the weekend with Amy and Adam at the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne.  They spent quite a bit of time up in the trees, until Amy realised she had to get down!

I had a fun session with Hayley and Gary on the weekend in Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens. It was a lovely sunny morning, especially with the cool air before the day heated up too much.

Here are a few sneak peeks from their session….

Michelle and Colin came to see me this week with their beautiful little daughter Madeline.  She is just 12 days old and such an alert little thing!  I can’t get over how much hair she has for such a newborn bub!

Here are a few of my favourites…. especially this first one of Maddie and Colin, and then the next that shows the eye contact between Maddie and Michelle!

I met gorgeous little Grace this week, she is 10 months old and one of the happiest little girls I have ever met!  She was so happy and excited, which made her the perfect model.  Check out her eyes!!!

Here are some of my favourite shots from the session I had with Grace and her mum and dad.

I met little Ethan today, who is just 15 days old.  He is the first baby for his mum and dad, Kerrie and Dean.  I have to say, it’s been a while since I felt clucky, but this gorgeous little man did something to me!

Here’s a sneak peek from his session…

Just wanted to post an image of Nicholas and Harrison with their baby sister Alex.  The boys are so proud to be big brothers to little Alex!

I finally met baby Alexandra last week.  We were supposed to capture her as a seven day old newborn, but time didn’t allow us, so here she is at four weeks of age.  Still a tiny thing and happy to be moved around while she slept.

I’ve been promising her mum Nicole (here’s a link to her maternity session) a sneak peek from her session, so here are just a few teasers for you!

Did you know, it’s only 12 weeks until Christmas!?!   Scary I know, but it will be upon in a flash.

That means that it’s a great time to get all those “must have” family portraits done in time to give as lovely Christmas gifts to the grandparents!  I know it’s something that we often don’t think about until the last minute, so what a perfect time to get some presents out of the way…
