When Graeme and his boys welcomed Georgie, the golden retriever to their family, they contacted me to have some updated photos taken. I have been photographing the boys for most of their lives now so meeting this new, foofy family member was pretty exciting. :)

A family celebration can be so much fun to capture. When I was asked to attend a wedding anniversary for an extended family and some of their closest friends I was thrilled to say yes.
How precious to have the afternoon captured so you can enjoy the time and not worry about who is taking the photos! The family were able to casually hang out with each other as I went about snapping and we managed to take some relaxed family photos too for each group there. Here is just a small snippet of what was taken on the day. (Note: consent has been given for these photos to be shared). Wendy Neilson is a Melbourne based artist who reached out to me to have some photos taken in her new studio space. There's something full of life and energy watching an artist at work, as they mix and drag the paint around a canvas and create a new work before your eyes. Just quietly, I'm a little in love with her space... so many old and interesting things mixed with the newness of art and the fresh growth of plants!
Is there anything as precious as a new baby? I don't think so. 😊
This little bubba was welcomed into his family by his mum and dad and very eager big sister and brothers! Meeting them in their home when Michel was only days old and still super fresh and squishy meant lots of gorgeous snugly shots and watching his siblings fall in love with him. Sally was the winner of my 2 year celebration giveaway and back in October we shot her session. Sally, along with Chloe and Jack, sporting their holiday glow, were totally comfortable in front of the camera being themselves. There was lots of talking about their recent time away and snuggles abounded! I was really delighted when Sally's number came up as the winner of this session- a most deserving winner!
I'm so fortunate in this job that I get to watch many families grow over time. This has been the case with this gorgeous family. I first photographed little Alex when he was brand new, then again when he was a cute toddler and once more now that he has welcomed his little sister Eve.
Taking photos in their home meant that everyone was comfortable, including Cassie the dog! There were toys that I had to be shown and I know that these guys will love looking back on this stage of life as they have since moved house! Thank you for trusting me once more with your gorgeous tribe! If you are hoping to have photos taken in time for Christmas, get in quick! I have limited weekend spaces available.
Message me if you want to book yourselves in! Sunday 5th November- Mornington Peninsula area Monday 6th November- Mornington Peninsula area Saturday 11th November am Sunday 12th November pm Saturday 18th November Sunday 26th November pm Sunday 16th December pm Lucky me won tickets to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival through Maroondah Yarra Ranges Kids and yesterday was the perfect day for our visit. My two smalls and I invited a friend to join us and we had the most amazing day in the hills. My kids asked if we could go again today! If you get the chance to visit, do! It is beautiful up there and the festival runs until October 15th. And it's the perfect backdrop for photos.
When a husband or wife contacts me to arrange a surprise gift for the other, I get extra excited! This time, the family and I met in a beautiful park in Surrey Hills. The light was golden and the leaves gloriously crunchy. They were just right for throwing and rolling in! With grandparents, parents and a very special auntie, we made sure that every relationship was captured.
I love this feedback from the session- "I think in the years to come as we look at the photos, we'll remember the fun we had as a family as well as having the amazing photos as a tangible reminder." THIS is what I aim for. All the time. Yesterday the sun was shining and I decided to get my little guy and I out of the house for a walk and a play in the leaves. He brought along his bubbles that we bought the day before. I ran back to grab my camera and I'm so glad that I did. It's so precious to me to have photos of my family as they are right now. This is my Sam.
Messy haired. Truck loving. Happy in his own activity. Content having time with mum. I love him... and I know that I will look back at this photo in even a years time and be so grateful that I stopped to record this season of bubbles and leaves. |
