Gorgeous Georgia!

Had a beautiful morning in the weekend taking photos of this lovely family. It took a while but once Georgia warmed up she was the smiliest thing, how gorgeous is she!!
Paul and Helen, thank you for a great morning and for letting us keep trying to get those smiles, it was so worth it I think.
Have a great Christmas and I'll talk to you soon with the rest of your gallery.

A little Christmas sweetness {Gold Coast Photographer}

Had the total pleasure of doing some Christmas shots of the adorable Sophie this week. This is the 3rd shoot I have done with her and I must say, she never fails to charm me. Such a happy wee thing. Enjoy your sneak peak Krystal, talk to you soon :)




I've left my fav for last, how adorable is that little tongue!!

We spent a lovely afternoon at the beach in the weekend, it was nice take some photos of my family for a change. Its something I must remember to do more often.

A VERY proud mum!!

We have just done a whirlwind trip to Canberra (photos to follow!) to cheer on my eldest son and his team mates. They competed in Gymnastics Australia National Team titles at the AIS. It was a team event but they also gave medals to the top 6 overall individual competitors.
The boys did absolutely awesome!! In team events they took out 1st place for overall, then on individual apparatuses they took 5 1sts and 1 3rd (out of 6 apparatus'). So some very happy boys and some very proud parents. To top it off my son placed 3rd out of the individual competitors. Wow I can't believe he came 3rd in a national competition!!

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!)
