Nellyane | 9 day old newborn photo session


Welcome precious Nellyane.


What a beautiful family and not just on the outside. They are kind and loving and just altogether nice people. It was a pleasure and an honour to photograph their little 9 day old baby girl with the rest of the family. Here are some of my favourite photographs.

My absolute favourite!
This little poppet was so flexible that her little toes were up on her chin at one point. I made sure she still had blood flow to her feet and she happily slept all curled up for ages.
A cuddle with big brother.
Such a beautiful mom with an amazing heart.
Now this is an outstanding young man; so polite, well behaved and good fun!

Thank you for the honour and I'm definitely looking forward to little Nellyane's first birthday!

Have a great week!

Newborn | Bea at just 14 days old


Precious little Bea had a bit of a rough start to life. You know it actually is quite an adjustment from being in the womb to being in the world. I've just seen her again today for her wonderful parents' Viewing Session and she has finally settled in. She was dreaming away in her car seat. And my goodness she has grown since this photo session.
I had such a tough time choosing my favourite photos of the day.
She's a real Daddy's girl. She had quite a few niggly moments but settled within moments of being in Daddy's arms. He's got the magic Daddy Rock down to a fine art.
I really love giving my clients just want they want. Bianca mentioned that she loves Black and White as well as Antique tones. I really enjoyed coming up a lovely antique colour wash look which I think turned out so nicely. I'm definitely going to use this look again.
Here is the same photo in my version of black and white.
 This is Daddy's favourite photo. Look at that little face!
Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of photographing your little one in the first few weeks of her life. It really is an honour.

Wien Turns 1!! Smash that Cake!!



Wien, who I photographed a few months ago, has turned ONE! He came in for his fist birthday photographs and a Cake Smash session and we had some good laughs... 


I must say this is one of my favourite little boys to photograph. He often looks straight into the camera and smiles or laughs. He interacts with me, climbs all over me and is just fun to be around!
 
This little man fixes his attention one thing and try as hard as you might there is just no getting him to focus on anything else. Last time I photographed him he was so attached to his little blue stuffed toy. This time.... he found my lens cap to be immensely fascinating. Not a single tactic we tried could pry it out of his hands and it became the central theme for most of his session. 
Oh, I could just eat him up!!


Time for the cake. He was just so excited...
until he touched the cake and then he was thoroughly disgusted with this stuff on his hands! It took some very serious persuasion to get him to consider trying some and playing with it so we could get some fun photos.

This is a busy month so sign up below to get all the latest cutie pie photos as I publish them.

Handmade Beanies Galore!


I love handmade things. Of course being a baby and family photographer I get to really enjoy handmade beanies and props. Every time I see something that grabs my interest all I can think about is how I can use it as a prop in a photo session.
As there are no local suppliers of handmade beanies I learnt to crochet them for myself. Now I am a crochet junkie. I just love it. I spend ages browsing through patterns to find ones I just have to make. I have gathered so much yarn that I'm not buying anymore until it is all finished!

So many of my clients have asked where I get my beanies and tell me that they cannot find anywhere local to buy them. So... I have partnered with a good friend of mine, Kay-leigh, and we have started a little business making and selling handmade crocheted items.
Introducing...
We have literally dozens of designs between the two of us and are furiously crocheting beanies, character beanies, head bands, ear warmers, flowers, jewellery and even giant doily rugs. Some of the patterns are designs by Alli Hyer, some are our own and some are patterns we have stumbled across.
This rug is 145cm in diametre and is made from 100% cotton. It is available for order! Custom sizes are also available and are made to order.
Here is our catalogue so far. Unfortunately we don't have photos of all the designs available as they were sold before we could photograph them! We'll post photos as soon as we can.
Not all beanies come standard with flowers. The flowers are on buttons and can be removed or changed if you like. You can purchase several flowers for one beanie. Please note the comments under each beanie as to whether the flower is included or not.
