Hello Baby!

This stunning little girl with her big beautiful pools for eyes was a recent visitor to my studio .. isn't she gorgeous ?

Know you what it is to be a child?

..It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness and nothing into everything..

( Francis Thompson )

Happy Upcoming Christening, Little Princess, I wish you the best of days!

Complete Wedding Melbourne :: Melbourne Commercial Photographer

Well, it's finally in store - the latest edition of Complete Wedding Melbourne!



I shot a feature back in August for the lovely Erin of Brides on Main in Mordialloc as part of a collaborative project with her lovely dressmaker, and her lovely model, herself a Wedding Co-Ordinator ( a breastfeeding mama of two .. and NOT, may I add, a professional model. Amazing ).






We had a lovely little afternoon shooting in and around the store.
We chatted while Erin transformed Sarah from suburban mum to Va-Va-Voom, Arlene did the dressing, and then it was my turn. I must say, it was lovely to work with a client I could direct and instruct and they knew what I wanted and didn't pout or run away ( or ignore me completely! - lol, the joys of photographing the kiddy set! :) There was also none of the stress or angst of a real wedding .. just some ladies all wanting to make some beautiful images together.




Great work girls .. a virtual hi-five to you all .. the mag looks fabulous - x.

And Baby Makes Five.. { Melbourne Family Photographer }

It wasn't that long ago I was invited to photograph baby #2 it seems, and it's always lovely to be invited back .. this time for some updated family pics to celebrate a new family member ..





I love the shot above where poor Dad is doing up shoelaces and the kids are using him as a track for their cars to drive on... so reminds me of my place .. just a vessel .. to be used at the will of children ... heh ...



They live in a fabulous part of town with the most awesome "boardwalk". Last time I visited we did indoor images, but this time I said "we just *have* to use your "front yard" .. isn't it fabulous? I could so live here..



Thanks for having me over again N family .. and your lovely lovely boys...
Ah, brothers, so sweet .. with two of my own, I do have a soft spot for all their funny grossness .. they make me laugh :)

The Very Cute & Funny B- Family | Melbourne Family Photographer

Recently, the B-family were referred to me to capture images of their 11-day-new baby addition to the family.

I think Mum will be surprised to see this first image. Miss G did close her eyes... maybe just once, but we got it!

Perhaps it had something to do with being a thirdborn .. I swear I think she relaxed once the siblings arrived, with all their love and mirth..

Funny little kids .. they had me in stitches with their modelling and posing and face-pulling .. way too many photos .. how cute are they?

I love the families I get to see. Maybe it's because families that love each other want to be photographed together?
I'm not sure, but gee I meet some lovely people.

Hope you enjoy this small sneak peek B's ... I am so glad you popped in to see me - your family is gorgeous, inside & out!

The H Family { Melbourne Family Photographer }

A little while ago now, I met up with the lovely H family in a park not far from their home. We had some fun in the red wagon and just running around, feeding ducks and playing What's the Time Mr Wolf?

I love meeting families in new places special to them - I love the variety and discovering new places. I capture families in their homes, in their backyards, at their local park. Alternatively, many people look to me to suggest locations, and that's fine too. If you're in Melbourne, whatever your personal taste and family style, we can do it! ;)

But back to this family - how gorgeous are they?

I just dropped off their prints today - hope you love them guys! x

Happiness { Melbourne Family Photographer }

That's the first thing I think of when I look at these images - what a cheeky family!









Spending time with families like this isn't that hard at all .. :)
