SURPRISE - {Gold Coast Photographer}

Sue approached me about capturing her 50th birthday in photos (Yes I do parties too!), I excitedly said yes.... then she told me a big secret that I had to keep to myself. Yes Sue was planning a big shindig for her 50th, but her and her partner Peter were surprising everyone and getting married as well. I'm a sucker for love, so this made it even more exciting for me. Sue, Peter & I hid away and watched as the guests arrived, and then the MC announced Sue, then told everyone the big surprise :) The rest of the night was filled with lots of laughter, dancing and love. Oh and to top it off, it was a purple party!

Sue and Peter, it was wonderful to be part of your special night, thank you :)
Will let you know when the rest of the photos are ready.

Happy Hunter - {Gold Coast Photographer}

What a gorgeous happy boy this little man was. So many cute photos it was hard to choose which ones to put up for a sneak peak. While full of smiles alot of the time, Hunter also was very serious at times, made me wonder what he was thinking about.
He wasn't quite sure about the whole cake smash idea, he thought the candle was the best part of the hold thing - and thats all he wanted to eat!

Bernadette, it was wonderful to see how Hunter is growing into a sweet boy full of personality. Thank you for having me back again. Will be in contact soon.

Happy 1st Birthday! My 1st attempt at a cake smash :)

And lastly, I dare you not to smile when you look at these photos :)

Sweet Chilli! - {Gold Coast Photography}

I love it when I get to meet the babies from maternity sessions, Yesterday I got to meet the sweet Miss Chilli, the final result of this maternity session. While Miss Chilli fought sleep she gave me some beautiful smiles and loved to be with her mum.

Tiff, will let you know when the rest are ready and can't wait to come back and get some more of Miss C on her own.

Sweet little Pixie - {Gold Coast Photographer}

Yesterday I went and revisited Lisa and Glen who I did a previous maternity session with. They have welcomed into the world the most beautiful little pixie - Emily.
The hardest thing with baby photos is a baby's temperament is so easily changed. Mis E was the cutest little button, happy to give me some gorgeous smiles to start with, then she decided that was it, didn't want to smile, didn't want to sleep, wasn't happy to play the game. So we cut the session short but still got some beautiful photos. My fav is the last one in the sneak peak.

Lisa and Glen, hope you love these -how could you not!, will be in contact soon with the rest of your gallery.

Beach Fun - {Gold Coast Photographer}

This week I headed down to the beach with one of my best friends for a bit of sunset fun. Sheridan had seen the jumping photos I have on the wall of my kids and wanted something similar for her wall (the result is the last photo in this sneak peak! It was a lot of fun, I made them kiss lot (I have a habit of doing this!) and we got some great shots.
Love ya heaps Sheridan, hope these are good enough for your walls ;)
More coming your way soon.

Not 1, not 2 but 3! - {Gold Coast Photographer}

Yesterday I was once again reminded how amazing us women are!! As a midwife I am often amazed at how lucky we are and how strong we are when it comes to childbirth. Yesterday's reminder came in the form of Kristie and her belly full of babies! How amazing is this beautiful belly - 33 weeks pregnant with triplets (and not a stretchmark in sight!), 2 boys and 1 girl, awww so exciting.
Kristie it was wonderful to photograph you, you are amazing and I love how you are so calm about this pregnancy. Can't wait to hear about the arrival of these 3 in the next couple of weeks.
Talk to you soon
:) Rana.
