Baby Steps Antenatal Classes - {Gold Coast Photographer}

This year I am excited tobe part of a new venture :) Baby Steps Antenatal Education is offering private antenatal classes in the Brisbane region. I was asked if I would like to come to one of the 4 weekly sessions and offer mini maternity shoots to the couples attending the classes.
This week I had my 1st session and Sam has given me permission to show a couple of her photos.
Good luck with the upcoming birth Sam, I hope you will post about it on the Baby steps facebook page.

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 :)

True Beauty comes from within! - {Gold Coast Photographer}

I loved this session so much, I knew I would though!
I have known Tamsyn for a while and she looked stunning when she was pregnant with her 1st baby, so I was very keen to capture her with number 2. We finally got around to it, due any day now and looking absolutely amazing!
I have so many favorites from this session, here are a few of them, I think I might have to do another post with some more later in the week, with some of the more creatively processed ones.
Tamsyn, Sasha & River, was an absolute pleasure to catch up with you guys today. Can't wait to hear about the impending arrival of your little miss or little mr, all the best for a beautiful birth xxx Rana :)



And this last one would have to be one of my favs I think :)

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

A Beautiful Belly! - {Gold Coast Photographer}

Today I met up with Lisa and Glen to do some maternity photos, Lisa has the perfect belly :) (Which by the way Lisa I think is sitting very low!) Their 2 gorgeous dogs of course had to get into the act! Glen thanks for being such a good sport.
Can't wait to come back and meet this little boy or girl!!





And of course, my fav for the last one.

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.
