MADDIE & IMOGEN

Maddie and Imogen are two gorgeous sisters whom I had the pleasure of photographing at the Foreshore Park
Imogen is absolutely adorable!
She was very keen on exploring (and taste testing!!) her surroundings!


Maddie was completely at ease with the camera!
And was more than happy to sit an pose for me!


Often the best photos come when neither subject is paying attention to the camera.
I love this photo because it is NOT a pose - just two sisters playing.


Pretty girl with a pretty flower in her hair!



Imogen showing a great deal of interest in my camera.



My favourite shot of the day!!

NIKKI'S BELLY

Nikki and Matt were perfect models for their Pregnancy shoot!
Nikki, at 37 weeks, was looking absolutely radiant,
with a perfectly round bump out the front of her little frame!
This beautfiul blue sarong showed off Nikki's belly nicely - and was a fitting colour for the baby boy on the inside!
I love the contrast of Matt's arm across Nikki's breast in this shot.


This shot beautifully showcases Nikki's perfect pregnant form.
I love it!


The parents-to-be adoring that gorgeous belly.



Perfect





This shot is simple. And that's why I like it.
All focus is on that belly (and Nikki's little tattoo!)



Nikki was my guinea pig for a 'belly tube' I sewed.
I made it out of stretchy material, so Mums-to-be can slip it over their head, and it will contour to the shape of their belly and show it off.



Such a round and beautiful bump!



I love this shot of Matt listening to Nikki's belly.
Nikki and Matt were so laid back and relaxed during their shoot, which made for lots of fun and some wonderful photos to cherish.
Looking forward to the newborn shoot!!

RHYS

Rhys is a very cheerful 8 month old, with big eyes and a huge smile to match!
While there's no big smile on his face in this shot, his eyes say it all.

Rhys was quite happy to sit in the vase and play with the balls!

I absolutely LOVE this shot of Rhys very intently studying the ball.


A beautiful shot of Rhys and his Mummy.
...You can never have enough of these...


Who?...ME?...
Rhys was very happy to taste test the ball!

MATILDA

Matilda, at 8 months old, is certainly not camera shy!
My biggest problem on this shoot was stopping her from crawling over and grabbing my camera strap! This is one of the shots I managed to get in while my little stalker came closer....
I love that this shot shows off her beautiful blue eyes.

Matilda was more than happy to sit in the bucket!
She started 'dancing' in there, and was rocking it from side to side!


I love this shot of her looking over and having a chat to Mum.



Another gorgeous and natural shot of Matilda happily playing and being herself.



The lovely lady across the back lane has a beautiful tree that is losing it's leaves.
While it's a big nuisance for her to rake up all the leaves, we saw a wonderful opportunity for some great photos!
Once again, Matilda was more than happy to co-operate, and didn't mind one bit when we buried her in the leaves for this shot!






CORRIGAN

Corrigan, at seven months old, was a very happy and obliging subject.
He was not phased by anything we asked of him.


Here he is posing with Mum to warm up at the beginning of the shoot.


Corrigan was very relaxed on the BIG chair, and would have been happy sit sit there and play all afternoon



He made for a gorgeous cowboy...a shy cowboy in this shot.

The gorgeous autumn leaves from the previous day were utilised in this shot.
Corrigan was actually in a basket full of leaves, but I love this shot of him giving one a taste test.




...Baby's got blue eyes...






AIDEN

Aiden was nine weeks old at the time of his shoot,
but the poor little man wasn't in the mood for photos that day!


Depsite this, we managed to capture some lovely shots of Aiden, in between (and during) naps and cuddles...


This shot was captured while Aiden was in his carseat. He seemed very happy with the idea of going home!



I ADORE new born features...hands...feet...So this shot was a given!



Aiden was quite happy up over Mum's shoulder.

Already playing peek-a-boo!



A beautfiul shot of Mum and Bub.

SIENNA

Sienna was 6 weeks old at the time of this shoot, and more than happy to be the subject of my attention!
I don't think she made a single sound throughout the whole shoot.



She absolutely loved kicking back in this basket,
which is actually the basket we use to put our fire wood in...



She looks so adorable in her fluffy little hooded jacket.



We got a couple of shot of Sienna being suspended in this lacey material before she drew the line and let us know that our time was up!




A beautiful shot of Mother and daughter to treasure forever.



I adore this shot of Mum playing with Sienna's perfect baby cheeks!!!
