Baby Hayley

This is the very cute Hayley. She was about a week old when I took her photos.

I tell you what she made me work hard to get the photos of her but it was so worth it. The poor little thing just didn’t like me touching her, every  time I did anything to her she stirred and then cried. I like to think that I’m usually pretty darn good with babies, they fall asleep great for me, I absolutely adore shooting them, and I just love being around them, but this day she just didn’t want a bar of me. I felt like such a meanie. Anyway we ended up with some great photos so I am definately not complaining.

Thanks so much to her lovely Mum for being so patient. Hope you guys like the photo. What do you think the portrait or landscape photo?

Baby Kalani

Sorry to everyone who usually follows my blog on a regular basis, I had been unwell for a week and then my daughter was really crook so I have not had a chance to get onto the computer let alone post anything. Finally all is going great again and I have some new things to post on the blog, Yeah I’m starting to catch up again.

My cousin Tracey and her hubby Shane had the most gorgeous baby girl named Kalani and I am so lucky that I was able to do some newborn photos of her.

I haven’t seen Tracey in so long it’s ridiculous, you loose touch with family so easily as you get older and you all have your own family to take care of. We were talking and how bad is it that her hubby met all of us for the first time at a funeral. I decided that getting together for a new baby is way better and thought bugger this we’re having a cousins get together, why not? It’s a good way for all of us to keep in touch and get to know each other again.

Anyway here is one of the shots I got of the gorgeous Kalani, she was the best baby to shoot. She didn’t really stir at all and I was finally able to get a baby in this pose. I am so excited, this pose is quite difficult to get as babies don’t always want to be put into some poses and recently ever bub that I tried just didn’t want a bar of it so we did other things instead. You ALWAYS have to listen to what the baby does and doesn’t like, and I can tell you they will certainly let you know if they don’t like it.

Anyways what do you think? I think this shot looks great and Kalani is just adorable?

More Barbara

I was having a bit of a play with some of Barbara’s photos and came across this soft sepia look.

Different effects don’t always look good on everything but I felt that it looked really nice on these particular shots from the session. what do you guys think?

Barbara

This is another one of the shots I took of the lovely Barbara.

She had such a great time when we did her maternity session and it makes me feel so good that people feel that comfortable around me when I’m doing my job. I always hope that my clients have a good time and feel relaxed when they come and see me. Having your photo taken can be a really difficult thing for a lot of people so I think I’ve done my job well when they walk out feeling the way Barbara did. What more can you ask for?

What do you think Black & White or Colour?

Barbara 35 weeks

Here is one of the photos of the lovely Barbara and her husband Sief. Barbara was 35 weeks and so excited about the prospect of meeting her baby soon.

Having a baby is such an exciting time, your body is changing, you can feel all of these strange things happening inside of you, your trying to figure out what your baby is going to look like. It’s a pretty amazing time, I really don’t believe that anything beats it.

I can’t wait to see Barbara, Sief and their new baby in a little while, it’s so exciting.

Some more photos of Ruby

Here are a few more photos of Ruby. Just about all done, yeh. Can’t wait for Mum and Dad to see them.

 

More Photos of Taynia

Here are some more maternity photos of Taynia. Hope you like them.

 

Baby Storm

Here are a couple of photo’s of a baby session with a little bub called Storm. She is such a little cutie pie. Her poor mum was so worried that she was being terrible and I honestly didn’t think she was being bad at all, she was just a bit tired.

You know it’s funny, as a parent you don’t want other people to think ill of your child. We get so worried that our kids are misbehaving or being terrible and we think that everyone doesn’t like them or thinks they’re naughty when in fact they’re just being kids.

I think really it’s our own insecurities coming to the surface and maybe it’s a sign that we need to take a look at ourselves. Being a parent certainly teaches you a lot of things, especially about yourself.

Anyway let me know what you think about the very cute Storm.

Halls Head Drama

I took this shot while I was out with the fab Jamie Patterson. I had a great time out shooting with him. It was one of my first shoots with someone else and it was also my first bulb shot. I think it came up great and I know it’s pretty dark but I just like it.

What do you guys think?

 

Bunker Bay Silhouette

This is a shot that I have been sitting on for ages trying to decide if I liked it or not. I kept thinking “yeh it’s alright” and then “no it’s not good enough” and kept on going back and forth. My husband said that he really likes it so I have finally decided why not, so low and behold here it is.

Let me know what you think
