Radiant, beautiful, blooming {pregnant}

I had the total pleasure of taking photos for Viv and her growing family the other day. As you can see Viv is just gorgeous, as were her children :) Thank you guys for such a lovely afternoon. Enjoy your maternity sneak peak, kid photos to follow. Viv, hope Scott gets the hint with the names ;)
Remember if you want some maternity photos check out my current special.



Lastly my fav...

I've been tagged!

I have been tagged by the very talented Suse

Here is what I have to do:

1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

1. I always drive with bare feet, this has got me in trouble when I arrive somewhere and realise that I don't have shoes in the car!

2. I have wanted to be a midwife since I was 18, I finally fulfilled my dream at the young age of 32 :P

3. I have just applied for an exciting new position - keep your fingers crossed for me!

4. There is only 16 more sleeps till my birthday

5. Yes I still get excited about my birthday like a little kid!

6. I met my husband during an overseas trip which was supposed to end in USA (with my boyfriend at the time), never made it past Australia lol.

7. I'm a kiwi but feel Australia is my home.

Now to tag some people who hopefully haven't already been tagged........

Inspiration

When putting the blog together I wanted to include a list of people who inspire me, I started the list and added it to the right of the menu bar, but as I was listing I thought I won't have room for all the people that inspire me, so I have kept it short for now, including just a sprinkling of my favs. I will however make it effort to do the odd post with links to people who have inspired me.
This weeks inspiration is the very talented Natalie Bice, I'm loving whats showing up on her blog at the moment, awesome images Nat, you truly inspire me xxxx
And because no post is complete without a photo...............

my 3 biggest sources of daily inspiration!

Something a little different

I normally do fairly simple/ natural processing on my photos, but sometimes a photo calls for something different so I have a bit of fun with it! I love how this turned out :)

WANTED........

Do you want a free photo shoot? I'm looking for beautiful, blooming, pregnant women who are interested in having some beautiful belly shots. Some nudity may be involved, so don't be shy. If you would like to be a model for me, all I ask is that you sign a model release so I may use your images in my blog, on my website and for any marketing purposes and preferably live in the Gold Coast area, in return you will get 5 free 5x7 prints plus 50% off any further prints you order.
