Studio Session | Isabel & Sophia

This week my middle and youngest children very kindly assisted me with photographing some of the new Studio Styling range of props.  Oh so camera shy these two!

Cake Smash | Lauren

First birthdays mark a huge milestone, not only for the child, but also for the parents who have survived one of the most enjoyable but also challenging periods of their lives to date.

A first birthday shoot/cake smash combination is a really lovely way of celebrating and recording this gorgeous age.

Lauren was the perfect model but the only child to date who has preferred eating a mandarin in the bath at the end to eating the cake during the smash!  These images have a special place at the end of Lauren's first year photo book that has been put together for her by Mum, Sarah.

Family Session | Nielsen Park & Watson's Bay

It was way back in July that we held not one but two family sessions at the beautiful harbourside locations of Neilsen Park and Watson's Bay, specifically chosen for Dan's love of the water and sailing.  

Ten-month old twins, Grace & Thomas, were absolute troopers and bravely battled the icy-cold weather before making it pretty clear that the shoot was over!  This was my first time photographing twins and hats off to all you parents of multiples...that is hard work, but oh so rewarding.  Their relationship with each other and with their parents is just beautiful.  

My thanks to Elissa, Dan, Grace & Thomas for the opportunity to photograph your lovely family.
