Beautiful Julia take 2 - Gold Coast Photographer

This weekend I met up with Helen. Andrew and the beautiful Miss Julia to take 2 on their newborn shoot. At 2 weeks Julia didn't want to sleep, at 4 weeks she was the same! However she was very happy to lie there and pose this time. And I must say I totally adore this session, I love the shots I got, and Helen, I hope you and Andrew love them as well.
Helen is a ladybug fan, something I did not know when she booked her session, yet coincidentally I made a "Do Not Open" sign out of ladybug paper for Helen's maternity session! So when I saw these ladybug wings, I had to get them for Miss Julia's newborn session. I am so glad I did!
Helen and Andrew, it was an absolute pleasure and I can't wait to capture Julia as she grows up - she is so beautiful, talk about making a girl clucky!

Thank you :) - {Gold Coast Photographer}

For Evelyn, who I know is waiting to see them :)
I love my jobs (both of them!), Evelyn thank you for letting me be a part of your life, you have a beautiful family xx

Beautiful Julia - Gold Coast Photographer

This week I had the delight of meeting the beautiful Miss Julia (pronounced more like French Julie). You may recognise her mum from this session. Beautiful Miss J was 8 days old when I met her and I envisioned lots of beautiful shots, but unfortunately Julia was not having a bar of it, so we didn't get any angelic sleeping shots (but will try again another day), don't let her fool you, she is not sleeping in any of these shots. Then the midwife arrived and she put on her most photogenic behaviour, so we got a few extra awake shots before I left.
Helen and Andrew, she is extremely beautiful (I had thoughts that she might be!!), hope these will do you untill we can make a time for another shoot, the rest of the gallery will be up soon.

Cradle Ceremony

This weekend, my family and I had the pleasure of being invited to an Indian "Cradle Ceremony", one of the Dr's at work is the very proud Grandmother of this baby boy, who unfortunately is not the star of my photos, despite the night being all about him, once the ceremony was over he was whisked away to sleep while the rest of us were treated to traditional dancing, singing and food. It was a fascinating night and I was in awe of all the culture, colour and joy. I didn't go with the intention of being a photographer, but I wanted to share some of my snapshots from the night :)

This week I got to photograph another lovely lady on her birthday! Hope your birthday was fabulous and that Andrew spoilt you rotten :)
Hope you love these, you look absolutely beautiful, can't wait to meet this little boy or girl!
Hope you have a fabulous Christmas and a nice easy, non-eventful birth :)

P.S saved my 2 favs till last :)

Two gorgeous boys :) - Gold Coast Photographer

Somedays as a photographer you need to be a little inventive, especially when you have a 2 yr old who would rather do anything than have his photo taken :) This week I had the pleasure of catching up with Ros and her gorgeous boys, very alike in looks but different in personalities (or at least they were on the day when the strange lady with the big black thing came!). Little Braithe was more than happy to be in front of the camera giving me lots of smiles :) But Ethan would rather just go and play! SO we just went with it and Ros & Justin I hope you love how I have captured your beautiful boys.
And Ros, I hope you had a relaxing birthday dinner xx
Will be in touch with your gallery soon.

Gorgeous chubba bubba - {Gold Coast Photographer}

I have known Robyn for a long time and I know how thrilled she is to be a Grandma :) I was excited to go and photograph her beautiful grandson today, I didn't realise how much cuteness there would be though! Mr Hugh weighed in at just under 10lb when he was born 3 weeks ago, he is just totally adorable, totally squeezable.
Roslyn, was lovely to meet you today, hope you love this sneak peak, will be in touch soon.
Robyn, your grandson is just beautiful, congratulations :)

Perfect Angel - {Gold Coast Photographer}

During the weekend I had the joy of meeting Miss Kiera, what a perfect angel she was as well. She gave me lots of smiles to start with and then perfectly dozed off for some lovely sleepy photos.
Robyn and David, hope you love the photos, your little Miss is adorable!
Talk to you soon.
