Winter at the beach | Canberra baby photographer

July 24, 2009

This gorgeous little girl will probably be photographed regularly by me for a good part of her life, and I have to say, I love it! She’s a total darling, and I love watching her grow up.

Her parents recently moved back to the coast from Sydney, so I thought it would be very fitting to do our 13 month mini session right by the sea, since she has it in her veins. There’s no way this little one isn’t going to grow up loving water.

It was a stunning winter’s day and Little Miss S had a wonderful time playing with rocks and sand. Don’t you just love her cheeks? She’s looks so chubby and roley poley, but she’s actually very petite for her age. I’m looking forward to seeing these guys again in a few months for a maternity shoot. Little Miss S will be a big sister in November!

6 weeks old | Canberra newborn photographer

July 21, 2009

I have just returned from a ten day jaunt to Sydney and Wollongong to spend time with family and friends, so I am a little bit behind!  We had a lovely time, and I was reminded once again how seriously crappy Canberra winters are, compared to Sydney and the coast. The weather was gorgeous!

So here is the first of my two sessions, which took place in inner city Sydney. Young Master O is the third cousin and the first boy born into one side of his beautiful family since January 2008!  Very exciting!  At 6 weeks old, I couldn’t believe what a well behaved little thing he was, smiling for the camera, drifting off into a deep sleep, and then waking up in a fantastic mood for some lovely photos outside. I can think of a few 1 week old babies he could teach a few things to!  And what wonderful hair!  Like he’d just had a quick trip to the salon in time for his photo session!

Smiles all round!

Love

If you look very closely at the last one, you can see another member of their family trying to join in on the action. :)

Thanks for a fun session guys: your little boy is very handsome and cuddly and I’m so looking forward to seeing him grow up. I’ll be in touch with the rest of your gallery soon.

Two years old

July 8, 2009

My baby turned two last week. Two! I still can’t believe it!

I’ve been very slack with my blog lately, so I thought it was a good opportunity to share some recent photos of Toby being the expressive, charming, fun-loving little dude that he is.

Actually, two years old is a really great time for a photo session. I would love to chase your toddler around the house and backyard (or a park) capturing all those wonderful little moments of joy and discovery. Life through a toddler’s eyes is so much fun! One of my my favourite things is watching Toby explore and play with his toys: the intense looks of concentration, the moments of unbridled joy and delight, and the hilarious bursts of manic energy.  It’s a beautiful age, and I wish it could last forever.
