My mounts on display!!!

I was asked by one of my bosses, if I'd be interested in organising some art for the wall of our antenatal clinic. Of course I would!! So here is the final product (taken by phone camera)! I got 3 12x24inch mounts done, the mother and the baby are images of mine but as I had no father shots I put the call out to some friends and we ended up chosing an image by Fiona. They look fabulous!
I've also posted a card that I have put together ready for next year when I will be offering a bump to baby double session special. So stay tuned early next year for more on that.
Hope everyone is having a lovely week.

The Lovely Miss Sharli - {Gold Coast Photographer}

I last shot Miss Sharli when she was 7 weeks old, she did not want to sleep for me and it wasn't the most successful session ever. Today we planned to do some Christmas shots for mum and dad to put in the Chrissy cards, that's good, no sleeping needed! Miss S is now 6months old, she greeted me at the door with huge smiles and I thought WOOOHOOO, however once I pulled out the camera, Sharli saw it as a big horrible nasty thing, she cried everytime she looked at it. We still managed to get some lovely shots, and I finally got some sleeping ones!
Jacinda, hope you like this sneak peak, will be in touch in the next couple of days xxx
P.S - Thank you for being so calm and patient :)


You can see the bottom lip starting to go in these two!

Inspiration time!

I have a passion for pregnancy, birth and babies, that is why I became a midwife I guess. Lately I have seen some absolutely beautiful maternity and newborn pics which I thought I just had to mention. Naomi's images are totally breathtaking, I Love her black and whites, the clarity and detail she gets in her images is devine.
Naomi is definitely an inspiration to me this week :)
And because I have to have a photo, a baby shot which I have just had mounted for work (more details once they are hung!)

Three times the fun part 2 - {Gold Coast Photographer}

A few of the group shots :) Aren't they gorgeous!!

Three times the fun part 1 - {Gold Coast Photographer}

I finally got to photograph a good friends 3 beautiful daughters, I've been wanting to whisk these 3 away for awhile now. All 3 are stunning, curls and eyes to die for. One day I will stop calling the twins the wrong names!!
Going to split this into 2 posts as I can't chose only a few pics!

Products

I've had a few inquiries about the products available from me. Now please take note that product photography is not my forte!! Below are some of the products I offer.

MINI ACCORDIONS


These are the most adorable mini albums, they come with your selection of 15 different photos. They are very popular. Making lovely keepsakes for proud parents, grandparents, bridesmaids etc, the possibilities are endless. Keep them in your pocket to show anyone and everyone or display them on your desk.
You can see the size in the photo next to the CD.

PRINTS

I offer prints of different sizes, regular sizes are 5x7, 8x10, 8x12 & 16x24, I can however pretty much do any print the size you want it.

MOUNTS

I highly recommend mounted prints especially for anything over 8x12. Prints are mounted on a 20mm foamcore (kind of like polystyrene), they come with a black or white edging and I think they look absolutely fabulous. I have just had 3 12x24 mounts done for work and they look awesome (photos to follow) Mounts are very lightweight, so great for posting and great for hanging, mine are just hung with 3M no mark hooks - too easy. These make a nice change from canvases. I do offer canvases as well but have no photos at the moment.

PHOTO TILES

These photo tile are something different, they come in various sizes and are mounted on board, you can choose how many photos you want and the colour of the back board. The ones above are 3 10x10cm and 1 single 20x20cm. They are really glossy and look good anywhere.

ALBUMS
I can make up albums to suit your needs, these make a lovely keepsake.

If there is anything else you would like, I will try my hardest to help. If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to contact me.

Family Fun - Roma St Parklands {Gold Coast Photographer}

This weekend I discovered the beauty of Roma St Parkland, thanks so much to Col, who arranged for me to photograph his lovely family there. Definitely a fantastic spot. I had a great time trying to capture this family who kept smiling the whole time.

-sigh- After 21 years you can still feel the love :)

Thanks guys, it really was fun. And Toni, thank you SO much for your efforts to get everyone laughing, I think I need to hire you to come to shoots with me!
I'll be in touch soon with the rest of your photos. Have a great week.
