Cherie and Darren Wedding

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple on their special day a couple of weekends ago. Congratulations Cherie and Darren. I've given a sneak peak of a couple of my favourite images from our day, there were just too many to choose from!
Nils and I teamed up again to capture this wonderful day, you can see her favourites at www.figtreephotography.com.au. Congratulations again and have a great honeymoon.

Sugar and spice and all things nice!

That's what little girls are made of!! It's times like these ones where I wish that I had a little girl to dress up in pretty pettiskirts instead of boys in Spiderman and Ben10!
Little Miss A is growing at a rate of knots, crawling everywhere. I know I've said it time and again, but I really love seeing these little angels growing and developing over the year.

Forget Me Not.

I recently came in contact with an amazing woman who has set up a company that addresses that sometimes awkward and difficult time of what to give or say to someone that has lost a loved one, when flowers just don't seem to capture all that you want to say.
Her name is Karen Brown and her company name is Forget Me Not Sympathy Gifts. I've added her lovely web site to my list of favourite sites. All her products are locally sourced and are obviously put together with a lot of care and thought.
Well done Karen.

Go the Hawks!!

This poor little chap has been totally brain washed from such a young age!! His grandparents have given Mstr W a life time supply of Hawthorn jumpers, one in every size! Go the Dockers I say!!
Little Mstr W is 9 months old and I really love this age, they interact so much and don't keep looking for Mum, with that expression that just screams "who is this really weird lady and what is she doing?!", they actually laugh at you!
All these little babies that I have followed for the past year are now turning one. It's been such a privilage to watch these kids grow and learn new things over the year.



I really love this one, you can almost hear him laugh!

Little Miss M turns 1!

I can't believe it's been a year since I first met this gorgeous little girl and her family. It has been so awesome watching her grow and change over the year. Little Miss M's very clever Mum made her gorgeous birthday dress that perfectly matched her birthday cake especially for her little birthday party!
As this little cherub is now one, you know what this means..........album time! This is going to be an interesting task of choosing images from the last year. This will be my first one that I have put together from this package that I have.
Happy First Birthday Miss M.

Babies, babies, babies!!

Here's another little one that I had the privilage of meeting in April. Little Miss A was ready with the smiles, so cute when they are at the age when they respond to Mum and Dad, it makes my job so much easier! Here's a little sneak peak for Mum and Dad, not too long now to wait!

Beautiful Autumn at Hyde Park

I love Hyde Park at this time of the year. The colours are just amazing. The weather is the only problem, dodging showers and the odd torrential downpour!

But that wasn't the case last weekend, such a beautiful day and a gorgeous family to work with. Mstr L is almost 2 and I was prepared for a child that I would have to chase, but he was an angel. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak Kenis and Dale of a few of my favourites from our session.

More babies!

One of the best parts of this job of mine is meeting time and again such wonderful families who welcome me into their homes to capture their new little bundle of joy.

My latest one is no exception, little Mstr Z who is 5 weeks old and of course was having his worst day since he had been born, which you can pretty much guarantee when you book a session with a photographer that that will happen!! Not that you could tell from our gorgeous pics of him.

His big sister Little Miss A gracefully stepped in while Mstr Z had a well earned rest. She is so cute and I couldn't stop photographing her!

I've also included at the end one of my new storyboard layouts that I think are pretty cool.

Cute as a button.

I love this paid hobby of mine! I get to play with babies and kids while they are happy and then when they start to get grumpy that is usually my cue to leave!

These little cherubs are no exception. Little Mstr I is now 4 months old. It was quite funny to see his big brother and sister trying to steal his little moment, which he wasn't fased at all about, just drove Mum nuts!

Mum also has an awesome company called Party Wishes. It's a kids party hire company where
you hire costumes and table settings and even blow up animals to suit your party theme. Check them out at http://partywishes.com.au/

They grow up soooooo fast!

Little Master W has grown so much. Check out my post in September last year where he was a tiny tiny newborn.
He is such a happy little man, always ready with a smile. Big sister Miss B is always ready to lend a hand in making him smile and of course to throw a few poses in for good measure.

Baby M is 9 months!

I can't believe that Little Miss M is 9 months old. She has grown so much and it really doesn't seem that long since I photographed her as a newborn baby (see my post from August last year). She is such a beautiful little girl and she does love being infront of the camera! Makes my job too easy.

They say never work with animals or children!

Who am I to listen to what I should do!! They are a bit challenging but worth the result in the end when you capture moments like these.
I had the pleasure of photographing one of my friend's little girls last month. Their grandparents' dog decided to check out what all the fuss was about and of course when the camera is handy, what is one to do!

Brad & Cherie's Wedding

Well it's been along time coming, but here are some of the moments that were captured at Brad and Cherie's beautiful wedding on November 22nd. I had my great friend Nils as second shooter (you can see her pictures at http://figtreephotography.blogspot.com/).

After bit of a rainy start it ended up being an absolutely beautiful day for a wonderful couple. Congratulations Brad and Cherie.
