9 days new – Hills District newborn photographer

October 24, 2018

When sweet little Elyce came to see me at only 9 days old, she couldn’t have been more perfect. I feel so lucky to get to do this job and really do something that I love to create amazing memories for beautiful families like these guys. Elyce is one very loved little lady already, with two doting big brothers to look after her from now…. until she starts bossing them around!

My sessions are all about relaxed, simplistic baby led posing. This means that while I love to position babies in to the beautiful curly positions, often they will move, stretch and make themselves comfortable…and that’s absolutely fine, I work with them and adjust the session as we go. If baby moves from a position that either myself, or parents, really want to try and get then we will just back to it later once baby settles in to a deeper sleep.

I love this approach as It really does provide a calm and enjoyable experience for all involved, after all………we all know that babies like to work on their own time right?!

Family Fun | Hills District Family Photography

September 17, 2018

With such a modern style and colour palette, this house was the perfect backdrop for these family images. The texture and tones of the house exterior lent itself perfectly to some family shots while waiting for the sun to drop so we could shoot in the back garden which backed onto some beautiful bush.

This large family had such a great connection, it was lovely to watch the fun and laughter.

January photo a day project 2018 | Hills District Photographer

April 14, 2018

A little late but seeing as I always tell everyone else to take and print more of your own photos, I thought I should complete the process and do the same!

The everyday.

The connection.

The Playing.

The firsts.

The angles and light.

The time just spent being together.

Capture whatever it is that matters to you, whatever you see that makes you smile and will revoke memories when you look back.

Every year in January I undertake my Photo-a-day project. It’s a great way to see my kids as they are now, doing what they love and what they are in to at that moment, more importantly seeing the growth year by year and how they change. At the end of each years project I create an album and we love looking through them together, especially my eldest. Both my kids have a keepsake box that they will receive on their 16th birthdays and these albums will be included and I can’t wait to sit down and relive all the memories with them, and for them to keep and share with their own children.

This year I had a few technical issues with my computer and while trying to resolve it I ended up missing a few days in this years collection so you will see a few duplicated days. Which is your favourite, and if you do anything similar then please leave the link below as I’d love to have a look.

100 Day tradition | Hills District newborn photography

February 16, 2018

Not all of my sessions are newborns or families, I also really enjoy photographing older babies, AKA sitters! Unfortunately this little lady was unable to come and see me for a newborn session but I still got to meet and enjoy her company for a very special occasion, we got to mark her 100 days, which is a special tradition within her culture. We still wanted to stick with the natural and simplistic look that is my style so stuck with the light colours and textures to capture these beautiful images along with Mum, Dad and Grandma.

Traditions are such a great way to build memories, this doesn’t have to be cultural or religious but even creating simple traditions which are special and meaningful for your family

This little lady is definitely going to be showered with love as she grows up and I think these 3 will be the best of friends.

15 Days new | Hills District Newborn Photographer

March 13, 2017

Booking your newborn session early is always best, this helps ensure the availability for your date and allows us time for your pre session consult to discuss your session and any special requirements however, sometimes things to not go to plan and day to day life gets in the way. I will always do my best to accommodate a session with you whenever you call but with getting busier and busier this is becoming harder.

This little guy was 11 days old when his mum contacted me for his session and fortunately I had an opening to fit them in a few days later. I had the pleasure of meeting this family when bub was 15 days new. In terms of newborn photography this is often classed as an older newborn……I know right, 15 days and being classed as old already!! This is because up to 2 weeks of age babies tend to have the innate sense, and need, to sleep for longer periods as they slowly adapt to life, after this time the awake periods lengthen and gradually they become more alert therefore the first 2 weeks is seen as optimal for newborn sessions to aid with capturing the sleepy newborn positions however, as this little guy showed, all babies are different and grow and develop in their own time. He was a delight through his session and although took longer to settle initially, once he was asleep we got a lot done.

If you’re interested in a beautiful newborn session please contact me, I’d love to chat with you.

Celebrating the new year with this little beauty

January 5, 2017

{ HAPPY NEW YEAR }

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year with your loved ones. Ours was great, especially as I got time to completely switch off and have 100% of my time with my family. If you haven’t already seen, I have also started up my photo a day project for the month of January where I capture my kids in their everyday situations and the fun things we do through the school holidays, head over to Facebook to follow along.

Spending time with this little beauty was fantastic, she was a dream and slept throughout the entire session. Prior to her newborn session I had the pleasure of photographing her pregnant mum, who at 38 weeks looked ah-mazing…. although you will have to take my word for it as she is a little shy and does not want her images shared on social media.

Miss V loved to be curled up and kept nice and warm. She has such gorgeous skin that the natural whites complimented her so well.

Location Location

December 9, 2016

I’ve had a lot of people ask me recently where I shoot and if I travel….the simple answer is yes, but within limits! I love to travel around a little to get more variety into my sessions for both my sake and my clients. The Hills District is full of beautiful green parks such as Rouse Hill Regional Park, Fagan Park and local reserves but sometimes beautiful beaches and urban locations are too hard to resist. You can get some great textures and colours with urban sessions and often there are great ways of using the surrounding buildings, trees, laneways and sculptures to create frames around families and children.

Some of the locations I have had the pleasure of shooting at outside of the Hills include, Paddington Reservoir Gardens, Chinamans Beach, The Rocks, Jones Bay Wharf in Pyrmont and Chowder Bay.

This session was among one of the first family sessions I shot and is still one of my favourites. The love, the fun and the location are what made it. This family were so friendly and easy going and we had lots of fun exploring the laneways around The Rocks.

Full of LOVE

November 15, 2016

Not that I’m sitting here backing myself or anything……but look, as promised here is your next blog post full of images from Miss K’s newborn session.

This little lady is definitely going to be well looked after among her older brothers and sister and I’m sure they will have so much fun together growing up in a large family. I couldn’t help but take my hat off to this couple too, not only have they just welcomed this beautiful little girl but within a short time have also built a new house and got married…………only the 3 most stressful things in life! Congratulations guys, I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Join me in making history

November 4, 2016

Hi! Thanks for checking out what I am billing as ‘a history making moment’, at least for me anyway!! After putting this off for so long and with much um-ing and ah-ing I have finally decided to bite the bullet and start blogging my sessions. How long it will last and how good i’ll be at doing it is anyones guess but come and join me for the ride, you’ll see more from each session and get to know more about me along the way.

So I’ve decided to kick things off with this beautiful family that I had the pleasure of meeting a few months back. Harrison was 11 days old when he came in for his newborn session with his trendy little brother Thomas. These boys were gorgeous and I think they are going to be best of friends growing up. It is so nice to do what I love and meet great people along the way, it is so comfortable and easy to play games with kids and chat to the parents during sessions.
