Wow what a wonderful session today was with a gorgeous chubby little baby....I love everything about chubby babies, their rolls, their double chins, in fact its pretty much the only time in life that your not looked down on for being chubby!!!!!

Its not the only thing I loved about this little sweetheart....her eyes were amazing. I don't think I have ever seen such powerful eyes and the reflection from them were out of this world...if you look at her eyes not only can you see me but also her mummy....

She was happiest on her belly which was not a problem because pretty much every shot she had a different expression.....she is one animated and gorgeous little bub who had lot's of smiles to share..I hope you enjoy your sneak peak and there are plenty more photos to come...

Glowing Mummy to be...

Today I was thrilled to be photographing one of my closest friends sister who is expecting twins in August, she is gorgeous and has that beautiful pregnancy glow about her and you couldn't wipe the smile from her face. We went to a gorgeous location to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air and I had such a blast capturing these special moments in Sara's life....

I think its important to remember that being pregnant is such a roller coaster of a ride and that sometimes you just don't feel gorgeous but I think when you see these shots that you will see the beauty radiating from this very excited mummy to be.I hope you enjoy this sneak peak and there are plenty more to come...

Sara I hope you enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and I can't wait to meet and photograph your babies when they come, until then take care!!!

Sids for Kids....

So I had a little impromptu photo shoot this morning with my family.... lets just say I'm so glad I had my coffee before hand....this was  to show support of a wonderful fundraiser, SIDS...if you don't know much about this day I have put some information here on my blog post about it...have a read and then enjoy the photos..they will make you smile ....

SIDS and Kids NSW provides bereavement support for individuals and families who experience the death of their baby during pregnancy, birth and infancy. This includes miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, sudden infant death (SIDS) and the death of a child up to 6 years of age.
Through our key services of education, awareness, training, bereavement support and advocacy, we help support many individuals and families in their time of need. SIDS and Kids NSW focus is on awareness and education through programs such as our Safe Sleeping Campaign which has significantly reduced the risk of SIDS over the last ten years.History
SIDS and Kids NSW was established in 1977 by a small group of SIDS parents who were concerned with the lack of information and support available to individuals and families who had experienced the death of their baby. “Cot Death” was originally defined in 1969 as sudden, unexpected and unexplained deaths in babies and young children. Services have expanded to include support, for all who experience the sudden and unexpected death of a young child, as well as community education and fundraising for research, support and community education in the Safe Sleeping area. In May 2001 SANDS (NSW) (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Support) merged with SIDSnsw

Red Nose Day is SIDS and Kids biggest fundraising event of the year. It helps to raise vital funds needed to continue to support bereaved families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I might add this will be one of the few times you will see me on my blog....Remember Red Nose Day is on Friday 24th June, so what are you waiting for go and purchase one of their merchandising  products.. I dare you!!!!

My family supports this worthy cause does yours??????

Today I needed some me time so I took myself off to the beach for some landscape photos. My kids were in school so I didn't have anyone complaining to me about anything!!!! The sun was shining although a little windy but a great day to be out none the less....

After weeks of rain it was great to wander along the beach looking at shells and capturing some peaceful images.....there were a lot of shells on the sand after the wild weather we have had lately. I didn't see any whales today but they were out and about earlier, oh well  there is always next time though to spot a few off the coast.

I hope you enjoy the images captured from today's R & R session, which was just for me!!!!

I met a wonderful family yesterday and their two handsome kids. They reminded me of my own children, full of beans, happy and loving and willing to please.

I captured some fantastic images for you all and  enjoyed meeting and spending time with you. I am slowly working through all the photos taken and once again I am finding it hard to choose your sneak peak images.
I hope you enjoy what you see so far as there are plenty more to come..

I met a lovely family yesterday, they had the cutest kids! 18 month old Master Austin and 15 week old baby Ivy were adorable and my camera loved them. I had such a great time photographing them at play and Austin was so gentle with his baby sister he really is going to be an awesome big brother in years to come.

They both had the longest eye lashes and when they looked at the camera it made my heart melt! I am so honoured to be invited into families homes to capture their special moments that will be treasured forever and I can't express how much joy I get from not only capturing but witnessing the way they bond as a family.

I hope you enjoy your sneak peak and there are plenty more to come...
