BEACH BABES

Here are some shots from various shoots that I've done @

Merewether Beach.

The beach is a perfect backdrop for wonderful and timeless photos.

Jada aged 10 months

Mia and her Mummy on a pregnancy shoot

and

Mia with my umbrella that she took a great liking to!

Some beautful sibling shots of Jade and Joshua.

Heidi aged 19 months.

Only one of these photos, of Mia with the umbrella, was 'posed'.

I love to capture natural shots when they don't know I'm watching!

ORSON

Orson is a beautiful Valentine baby!!

He came to my studio at the precious age of 6 weeks,

where I captured some gorgeous shots of his delicious little cloth nappies!!

I love to capture the details...newborn feet are delightful.

Orson with his Mummy in his gorgeous rainbow nappy.

Snug as a bug wrapped up with his dummy.

This little cloth nappy has Orson's name on it!!! Too cute!

This is my favouite shot of the day.

After a couple of goes at raising him above Mum's head, he kindly tucked up his legs, as I hoped he would, for a perfect shot.

BELLIES

I just LOVE pregnant bellies!

There is something almost magical about a woman

walking around carrying a brand new life inside her!

That perfect little bump is a glimpse of the

miracle that will shortly grace our world...

The three shots above are slef-portraits of my own belly, taken a few weeks before my gorgeous baby girl was born.

In the middle shot, you can see a tiny lady beetle on my tummy... This came with a bunch of flowers I had received as a Baby Shower gift, and I thought it was
perfect representation of new life, to go with the new life I had inside of me!

These last three shots are of my beautiful friend, Kylie, at 37 weeks.

She had a perfect round bump out the front of her little frame,

and was lucky enough to wear her belly ring all the way through her pregnancy!

LILLI & ETHAN

There is always one shoot that holds a special place in your heart. And for me, this shoot of Lilli and Ethan will always be the one...

Ethan was a little reluctant to pose with his little sister at first, but after some gentle coaxing (and bribery with cake!), he came around, and we captured some beautiful brother/sister moments!

Lily was the perfect little model, who was very happy for us to do what we wished with her...as long as we kept the milk coming!!

This is my favourite shot of Lily and Ethan together. Ethan is such a gentle and caring big brother.

Sadly, Lilli passed away at 5 months of age due to SIDS.

This was, and always will be, a heartbreaking tradgedy for her beautiful parents and big brother.

Lilli's passing made me realise why I am so passionate about Baby Photography.

Time is far too precious, and the future far too uncertain not to have these beautiful memories of your family.

I feel so very blessed that I was given the opportunity to capture these timeless shots of Miss Lilli and her big brother before she left this world.

ABBIE

Abbie was 3 months old at the time of this shoot.

The Austins

The two boys in this shoot are 5 months and nearly 2!!

This first photo is the only one we managed to get of the two of them together...and smiling!

We sat Joel in his 'bumbo' seat to take these shots.

Mummy and I made the compulsory silly noises and funny faces to get some smiles....

not that Joel took much encouraging. He's a happy boy!

This is my absolute favourite shot of the day!
