Sometimes when arriving at someone’s house for a shoot I find myself drawn to a particular piece of furniture…yes I know it sounds weird but when you spot something like this antique Chinese cabinet, one simply has to use it in the photos. Plus, I had a gorgeous little model who totally suited the backdrop - I was in heaven!
After we’d had enough of posing in front of the cabinet (such a good girl!), we wandered down the street for some outdoor shots.
Just look at this little face! Have you ever seen anything cuter?? This first picture is just a small taste of the adorable expressions this 3 week old baby boy gave me. Not only is he cute, but he was so good sleeping on cue for his photos and being generally agreeable and lovely…the perfect baby!
Like so many others, I have spent the last few days in tears and shock at the horrendous bushfires which claimed so many lives and destroyed so much. Like others, I feel compelled to contribute something to try and help these communities rebuild.
Inspired by Kris Leigh Photography in Newcastle and many other photographers around Australia who are donating their session fees to the Bushfire Appeal, I wish to do the same. For those interested in booking a session with Pebbles Photography in February or March, visit the Australian Red Cross website, donate your $150 session fee via the secure online donations form, email me an electronic copy of your receipt and we will organise a time and date for your session. Alternatively, visit the wonderful RSPCA, on the front line of emergency care of animal victims, and contribute your session fee via their donation form. I have a bunch of weekday sessions available and a handful of weekend sessions available. Be sure to email me first to book your date and so I know to expect your receipt.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy…
The setting sun was the strangest colour for days afterwards. It was pink. [View from Doncaster taken by my husband Lars].
Yesterday I had the honour of photographing the new little baby girl of good friends of ours, at three days old. She’s beautiful and perfect and of course totally adored. The photos were taken in a gorgeous room at the Park Hyatt, where baby Vivian gets to spend the first few days of her life (courtesy of an arrangement with the hospital where she was born). It’s only sensible that she gets used to such an opulent lifestyle from the very beginning, because I’m quite sure she will be a Princess…at least in her Daddy’s eyes :).
Here are some sneak peeks from a session I had on the weekend with the most lovely family. There were three little ones - a dear little baby - 6 months, a spirited 16 month old girl, and an extremely sweet and good almost-7 year old. This family were so loving and close, and such genuinely warm people, we all had a ball. Mind you, check out the look I got initially from Miss Curly-tops…she wasn’t entirely sure what to make of me and my camera! 
Isn’t she beautiful….
This darling soul is adorable, sweet and cheeky all rolled into one little package and all I could think was ‘munchkin’. Too cute for words. Along with his lovely parents, simply a joy to photograph! Thanks guys for the opportunity and I’ll be in touch very soon.
