…and yet more boys! Lots of boys in this family. Five in fact, aged between 9 months and 6 years. No twins. Just a steady stream of little boys to keep their wonderful parents busy non-stop. It was so lovely to meet you all today, thank you so much for your lovely drawings and my ‘welcome letter’, written so beautifully by the big boy of the family.
Absolute champions. 
These kids were soooo cute and good-natured. Having two energetic little boys myself, I was fully prepared to chase these little chaps up trees and around and around in order to capture some cute expressions. Sure enough that’s exactly what happened.
I had the pleasure today of photographing this dear, sweet almost-one year old. Such a delightful way to spend a sunshiny afternoon. Happy, happy birthday for Thursday, little one!
It’s been a crazy couple of months in my photography world, with lots of weddings and portraits in the last several weeks, and I have missed being able to shoot just for me. So this evening I took my little one out to pose next to an amazing bougainvillea in full, riotous bloom. He really is so wonderfully obliging and totally cute.
The moment this little fellow fixed those enormous brown eyes of his on me I was captivated. The sweetest little personality and simply wonderful parents made this session an absolute delight, not to mention fabulous sunny weather! I’m sure these photos will bring much joy to this little guy’s family and I am so very glad to have captured his cuteness and the love his parents have for him.
He loved bubbles (who doesn’t?!)
Off to the park for a swing and lots of cuddles with his Mama.
Space Baby!!!
A friend’s beautiful daughter. I love photographing teens and tweens, it’s quite relaxing compared to chasing toddlers around!
I’ve got some gorgeous Christmas card designs this year, here are just a few. All cards are customisable with a personal message inside and of course your family photo on the front (well, unless you want to use some other family’s photo, but that would just be weird :). Don’t forget to order your cards when placing your print orders! $75 per pack of 25 cards with envelopes.
Well…not quite! Once again I visited this lovely family with the newborn twin girls to try for some shots with BOTH asleep or at least settled at the same time. Our plan had been to have them soundly asleep covered with a blanket when I arrived, then we would simply whisk away the blanket and voila! we’d have some sleepy shots. Haha! It didn’t quite work that way…I only got one together..but I did get loads of lovely individual ones.
This is the only one together, asleep! This lasted only a few seconds before one twin woke up, and elbowed her sister awake too. :) Ah well, I hope to have the honour of returning in a few months to take some chubby, smiley, sitting up shots.
I have a new passion, and it’s all Ruby’s fault - pets!! I discovered today what fun it can be to incorporate four-legged family members into the photo shoot. Ruby sure is one lucky dog to have this absolutely delightful family as her owners. Thank you so much guys, you were all just fabulous and I can’t wait to show you the rest in a week or two.
Such a handsome little fella

All righty, he says, that’s enough! go home lady - it’s time for my nap.
This super cute and chubby 8 month old boy was a star at his photo shoot yesterday. Even though he was teething he was such a trooper! I loved every minute of my session with this delightful little man. Enjoy your sneak preview, lovely family!
Ah…kicking back in the tub after a hard day’s shooting.
