Baby Conner

It was only last January that I photographed the lovely couple, Megan and Gary at their wedding on Balmoral beach, so I was excited and honored that they asked me to photograph their beautiful new baby boy, Conner.

I love newborn babies. The way they look and their vulnerability just melts me.  Conner is even more special, as he was nearly 2 months premature and just couldn’t wait any longer to be in this world with his Mummy and Daddy. His features were so much more delicate and smaller than most newborns. 

When I first met Conner (he was already 5 weeks) I thought to myself, wow, what a tiny little bub, I hope I don’t break him!! You can’t help feeling this at first. I soon got used to his delicate size quickly once we started photographing him. He was actually a lot stronger than he looked! I suggested to Gary to lift Conner above his head for one of the shots. My husband had to walk away, as he couldn’t bear to watch and made a comment “The Lion King” somewhere in his sentence!! I had to laugh, but I was confident in Gary and they were confident in me to get the shot I was after and the photo turned out beautifully.

Thanks again Megan and Gary, it was an absolute pleasure to meet your little boy and to see you both looking so well and happy.

Happy New Year and welcome back!

Hi Everyone! 

Happy 2010!

I hope you had some well deserved time off. I'm finally back in business after a nice break with Matt and Alexis. Thought I'd start the new year off with some photos of Alexis from when we were on holidays. I didn't dare take her outside in the hot sun, so we stayed nice and cool indoors. In the second picture she is demonstrating how adorable one of the many baby props Santa gave to us over Christmas. There's many more adorable props I'm keen to try out as well. As Matt loves his music, I thought his headphones would make timeless photographs. She's certainly Daddy's girl! 

Time has just flown by since Alexis was born nearly 4 months ago and it's all been so amazing and worth every moment, yes, even through those sleepless nights! It seems like only yesterday when she absolutely hated tummy time and didn't want to do it at all. She would be face down, crying her little head off! But look at her now! 

So, especially to all of you who have little babies and you've been thinking of getting photographs done... stop thinking! Feel free to call or email me through the website. I still have a few spaces left for January and February, including some during the week.You know better than anyone, just how fast they change and grow, so don't miss the opportunity of them looking so precious and wonderful.

Speak to you soon
