Little dudes

I had the pleasure of photographing these two gorgeous boys today. We started off inside, then for some crazy reason figured we’d try for some outside shots even though we knew it would probably rain. We were all in the mood for embracing the elements so out we went, and I’m glad we did. We got soaked, and got some great pictures. :)

Soft muted colours

Soft pastel tones are appealing to me in this cool wintry weather.

Abbotsford Convent

Spent a delightful few hours with some photographer friends at Abbotsford Convent and Collingwood Children’s Farm the other day. Freezing cold but bright and sunny! We all brought our kids and took photos of everyone else’s. :)

Firstly, to set the scene…check out how gorgeous it is! It’s a great location for photo shoots. Hard to believe it’s only 10 mins from the Melbourne CBD.

Chug chug chug. It wouldn’t be a farm without a tractor. :)

Here’s my Tim, so patiently posing on the wet grass for me (bad mummy)

But I’m all out of order. We started at the Convent, which is where I took most of my shots.

Double chub

This is truly such an adorable age with all the chubbiness and dribble and the fact that they can’t run away. :) Just look at these two little chubbikins, have you ever seen anything more adorable?? Simply beautiful babes, loved them both.

Winter is on the way

Wow, today’s family was just the best! Two gorgeous happy kids with beautiful natures, who were so easy to photograph. We had a blast! Enjoy the sneak peek guys, it was great to meet you all!

Today is the last day of Autumn *sigh*…but there’s still time to take advantage of the glorious colours and golden light of this time of year for your family photos. I’ve still got a handful of timeslots available over the next few weeks for families wanting an outdoor session (who are brave enough to face the definite chill in the air!)

Cousins

Just sharing some photographs I took of my brother-in-law and family who have just returned to Denmark after a month’s holiday here in Australia. My two boys were so happy to meet their Danish cousins AND their great-grandmother (age 91!) for the first time and get to know them. We had some wonderful outings and family get-togethers. Here they are at Southbank.

Mr Tough Guy

When my Timmy-boy smiles (which is pretty much all the time), he’s adorable and cheeky. But he can do mini-thug very well also. :)

Autumn

Loved this session so much. These two little boys had the most infectious smiles and delightful personalities. It was such a joy to photograph these gorgeous kids amongst the spectacular Autumn colour.

A boy and his new baby sister

…along with a gaggle of geese, some chooks, dogs and sheep, golden afternoon light and a delightful property in outer Melbourne…altogether made for a lovely, crazy afternoon yesterday. Thanks again for having me over Amanda and I’ll have the rest to you soon!

A pair of angels

Matching angels, that is. :)  These beautiful 8-week old identical twins were simply the sweetest, most contented little babes. It was such a pleasure to meet these precious girls, and I have to admit to feeling extremely clucky after spending time with them. :)
