April ~ June

AND that's half the year GONE!!!!!
Seriously, where does the time go?
This was during my newborn boy streak.. I got to 11 boys in a row!
Luca - Xander - Asaiah - Dawson - Rory - Oliver - Cohen - Harry - Leo - Jack - Henry
So make sure you scroll all the way down to see little Penelope & Everly who were very welcome after so many boys!
 

September ~ October 2017

I have become so behind in posting in here, but as I generally only share 1 photo from every session on my facebook page I like to put a larger selection (still not whole galleries) of photos on this little blog section so you get a bit more of an idea of the variety of images that result from my full photography sessions. There is not a huge amount to share from last Sept - Oct as I was also unwell for quite a bit of that time. 
Enjoy xxx
 

July & August

Running behind again with posting what I've been photographing lately so I'm running 2 months into one!

June was all newborn boys and July/August was all newborn girls :) And what precious little cherubs Addison & Amelia are!
I also met a beautiful family who were leaving town and wanting some photos to mark their time living in our beautiful Silver City. 
Also photographed in July was the most adorable little baby girl with some pretty amazing doting big brothers who were more than happy to cuddle and kiss their little sister for photos for Mum. 
I met up with some crazy fun kids to create some photos for them to give their Nan for her birthday. They had me in absolute stitches and we all had a great time. Photos really are the perfect gift and I love when people organise secret sessions for a loved ones birthday :)
Little Ebony who I photographed as a newborn also paid me a visit for some portraits to mark her 1st birthday. I seriously could not believe that she is 1 already. Time really does fly. She has grown into such a little character, such a bright little soul with the most beautiful brown eyes. I think the world will have big things in store for this little one!
Another little 1 year old who I photographed as a teeny tiny 4 day old baby (my youngest newborn I have photographed) was little Levi. He visited me for his cake smash session. Levi's family seriously has such a huge part of my heart. Levi's older sister Ruby was also my very first newborn session. I have come such a long was with my photography and this family has stuck with me from the start. I am so grateful for them walking through my front door and handing their brand new baby to me. I am honoured to every parent that trusts me to photograph their child but seeing as I had practically no experience I am forever grateful to them.
Bittersweet was my experience photographing the wonderful team of Broken Hill First National. Some of you may know that I worked for BHFN 10 years ago. I am so thankful for the friendships that came from my time working for BHFN. Seeing the comradery between the staff made me miss being a part of great team. I wouldn't trade my job for the world but being a 1 woman team has its moments. This was my second time photographing the team at BHFN and I thoroughly enjoy the change of pace from chasing small kids around :) These guys seriously know their business so if your buying, selling or renting I suggest you give them a call. (08) 8088 4488 (still know this off by heart)!
Also pictured below is my dear long time friends Lisa & Rhett, expecting twins! I don't think there is a woman on earth who has looked this good at 32 weeks pregnant let alone with twins. Rhett you really are 1 very lucky man. I cannot wait to meet your new babies and I am positive Esta is going to make the most amazing big sister xxx

My magnificent month of May making MEMORIES.

May has been madness. If you haven't guessed it before, I'm a sucker for alliteration :) haha

I have been really enjoying using my new studio space and have found it makes such a difference to my sessions being able to move from 1 set-up to another seamlessly. It means less disruption to the baby, greater variety of photos for Mum & Dad and faster session times for me. Check out some of these little ones who have visited me this month.
I also had the honour of photographing a Debutante session for the lovely Kate. I photographed Kate's sister's Deb 2 years ago and was so pleased her Mother asked me back to capture Kate's day. I had told myself I wasn't going to do Deb sessions anymore and to just focus of my baby and family niche, but I enjoyed it so much I don't think I can help myself. Deb sessions will remain available :)
May also marked the final month of pregnancy for one of my lovely clients. Jess & I have been meeting up once a month since the beginning of her pregnancy to create a beautiful timeline of her baby's growth from month to month. As I am writing this post a month later, I have already met and photographed her little man who will be in next months June post.
May also marked the official opening of my new studio, which I'll post about separately. And I also found time amongst all these sessions to take a weekend trip to Mildura and while we were there we had some family photos taken. It's very strange for me to be on the other side of the camera, but I enjoyed the whole experience and love every single photo. It's so nice to feel what my client's feel when I give them their photos. 
So without further ado, here are my March photos.

Maternity Session - Phobe & Trevor

How lucky am I to get to photograph these beautiful beings as they await the arrival of their precious bundle.

Phobe had the vision for this shoot and I love how we made it come to life. Stunningly beautiful and sophisticated in a fine art photography style. 

Looking forward to meeting your newborn bundle soon and capturing yet another very special once in a life time memory together.
