Baby Amelia

Today I photographed little Amelia who is now one month old. I absolutely love her birthmark as it looks like a love heart which mirrors her adorable personality. She was such a pleasure to photograph and so patient with me while I dressed her up in cute little outfits from lovebycc.

 

 Although it looks like she is asleep, I was just lucky enough to catch her mid blink!

A Family Photoshoot

I like to try and think of new ways to try to keeps kids interested when on a shoot. I've found that kids have a definite time limit when it comes to things like having to sit in front of studio lighting and sit still and be good and don't make faces and....and and and. I can understand how boring kids might find the studio environment so it is best to keep the time in the studio short.
I had this wonderful family come over to the studio to update some family photos. We had lots of laughs but after about 20 minutes the kids were obviously getting bored. Anticipating this, I made them a present. A place to chill out and play whilst still allowing me to capture the moments the parents were after. I stumbled upon a little DIY tutorial to create a children's tent and decided I might have a go at putting one together. I stocked it with the kids favourite snack (apples) and some other things to get their attention and they just loved it. The parents loved it as well and even snuck in for a few photos inside.

Nathan & Inga

A big thank you to Nathan and his lovely wife Inga for the honor of photographing them during her pregnancy. We ended up spending a whole day at different locations to capture many different looks and had a lot of fun in the process.

Caboolture Markets

It is winter here at the moment, so the sun doesn't rise until after 6:30am. Last Sunday I decided that I would like to take a photo of our local market, the Caboolture country market. They sell all matter of things there but mostly fresh fruit / vegetables and second hand goods. The photo was taken while it was still dark at around 6:15am so I could take advantage of the lighting and capture the movements of the people going about their weekly shop.
