Newborn Session | Ayden

Gorgeous little 13-day-old Ayden was a pretty light sleeper and didn't much like being posed and re-positioned so I took a slightly more natural approach to his session and am in love with the results!

He was happiest being wrapped up snuggly and was pretty happy in the nests - gotta love those newborn smiles that we were rewarded with.

Congratulations Brittany & Michael on your beautiful new addition and thank you for your patience and trust.

Family Session | Freshwater Beach

A session of two halves was what we served up for the Brown Family.  Not only did we shoot a sunset session but also a sunrise session the following morning (a serious advantage of having your clients as house guests)!

This series of family photographs is all the more meaningful as the family have recently moved to Singapore for the next few years.  As Freshwater locals, these will undoubtedly serve as a beautiful reminder of home during that period.

We miss you guys!

Baby Session | Isla

I first photographed Isla at just a few days old however after several hours of settling and comforting her we were forced to concede defeat and made the decision to bring her back for another session once the dreaded reflux was under control. Fortunately, our results from Isla's second modelling session were a lot better than her first. 

Whilst smiles were elusive, Isla was still content to get through a few set-ups before having a few cuddles with Mum. Pink is definitely her colour!

Cake Smash | Sophie (An Update)

True, I have already blogged this lovely session from April but I have been incentivised to post an update by the arrival of a couple of lovely behind-the-scenes videos of her session which were put together by Sophie's Dad, Michael.

Sophie was one of the most enthusiastic smashers that I have come across to date.  Listen out for her range of appreciative noises in the video!  Need I state the obvious...she absolutely loved the cake!

My thanks to Kate, Michael and Sophie for allowing me to share!

Newborn | Henry

Meet Henry Byron Jack Bradley.  I wonder how many friends and family thought that they were being pranked when little Henry chose to arrive on April Fool's Day? - at least there should be no problem with people remembering his birthday!

Henry is destined for great things.  Well, when you meet Kate & Wills at just two weeks of age, you're bound to be, right?!?

Chelsey and Adam, you are doing simply the most amazing job. I was awed by your absolute calmness and total devotion during our session.  Henry is one lucky boy indeed.

With love,

Cake Smash | Eliana

Gorgeous Eliana visited the studio with her Mum and two Grandmas and seemed to rather enjoy being the centre of everyone's attention and who can blame her!  She was quite the perfect little model as you can see and so incredibly photogenic.   Also, is it wrong that I got total outfit envy??  

Eliana, I hugely enjoyed your visit and hope to see you another time soon.

Family Session | Centennial Park

It was quite, quite impossible for me to narrow down the selection of what to show you from this beautiful family session in Centennial Park and so I have opted for an extended montage.  Such a fun, loving and committed family,  it was a pure pleasure to photograph them together before their number expands to six in November.  Suffice to say that the newest Dabin baby is certain to be just as gorgeous as his older siblings and will be smothered with affection.

Thank you Lindy, Ben, Faith, Tiffany and Benji for sharing your morning with me.  I can't wait to see what you girls decide to do with your hair for our next session ;-)

With love,
