Product Shoot | Rosa

Oh lovely Rosa!  Rosa was my second model in my product shoots for the Studio Styling range. (http://studiostyling.bigcartel.com) 

Whilst we only got a few set-ups out of her before she demanded Mummy back, she totally aced the ones that we did (she completely loved being in the basket even if her legs were dangling over the edge!).  

I love all these creamy, natural tones for little girls - they are completely timeless and will look wonderful with any frame or home decor.  If these images don't sell a few throws and baskets, then I don't know what will!  

Thanks to Rosa for being so darn gorgeous and of course to Lynne & Steven for allowing me to use their lovely little girl as my model.

Product Shoot | Hugh

Meet seven-week-old Hugh who did a truly wonderful job of modelling some of my Studio Styling textiles.   Studio Styling, for those who don't know, is my online retail business that stocks, amongst other things,  a wide range of beautiful furs, throws and wraps for newborn and portrait photographers.

Not sure I could have been happier with how Hugh performed - he was a total champion and could not have chosen a better time to show off those new smiles!  I just love photographing this age, still so little but amazing eye contact and beautiful soft skin *swoon*.  Hugh, you are going to be a total heartbreaker!

Thanks to Suzie and big-brother Jack for visiting with Hugh.

Cake Smash | Ruby

I was visited last week by lovely little Ruby who took to her cake smash like a duck to water.    It's always hard to know whether the little ones will love it or hate it.  Ruby sits firmly in the "love it" camp.  I had so many wonderful images from this session that it made it very hard for me to choose the gallery.  What a little cutie!

Ruby tasted, prodded and finally smashed the cake to smithereens before chucking her beautiful hat in for good measure.  All followed up by a good clean-up in the tub with the rubber ducks.

Thank you, Sarah, for allowing me to share.

Family Session | La Perouse

Back in May, I featured in the Melting Moments blog prize giveaway - "How to Choose a Quality Photographer".  Fellow photographer Aly, from Kuya Bunso Photography in Qld, wrote a fabulous article on the critical factors to consider when selecting a photographer to ensure that you get the best person for the job.  The full article can be read here:

The winner of my portrait session was Alicia and her lovely family, 2-year-old Grace and husband Mark.  In a move away from my familiar stomping ground of the Eastern Suburbs, we headed down to La Perouse which provided a beautiful sunset backdrop for our session.  I love this area which boasts a rocky outcrop, wooden bridge, beach and even a stone tower where we went looking for "mairies" (fairies)...

Time together is precious for this family who spend half of the time apart due to Mark's job.  I hope that these photos will be treasured during the months of working away.  Thanks for being such wonderful subjects and for allowing me to share some of your images.

Cake Smash (sort of!) | Toby

Cake smashes are quickly becoming one of my favourite sessions - they are quite frankly just plain silly.  Which is precisely what Toby thought of the whole affair too.  He was not a fan of the cake in the least but fortunately loved the first part of our session which included some time on a rocking horse and playing with some lovely wooden trains and cars.

We still managed to get some cracking images of Toby's delicate approach to his birthday cake but he's a child after my own heart who just prefers to keep his hands clean!  Tim & Emmi, count yourselves lucky!  In the end it was just more fun to drive the fire truck through the cake rather than smash it.

Happy First Birthday, Toby, you beautiful boy.  I very much enjoyed our morning together.
