couldn’t you just eat him!! it’s so nice doing baby photography for a family so in love with their bub. you couldn’t miss how in love with baxter they are. a really gorgeous family and a beautiful baby boy. thanks for inviting me to photograph your family. it really is a special job i have and i feel very privileged every time! x
i had to include a pic of baxter checking the wheels of the wagon! let’s say he has a little wheel fetish….. x
this children’s and family photography shoot had a visit from batman, spiderman and a fairy… there was even a pirate ship! a lovely family, two beautiful children and a lot of fun in their magical melbourne home. thanks for the great play! x
just love a boy and his dad! x
what a lovely children’s and family photography shoot this was and what a gorgeous family. full of cuddles and smiles all round. they made me feel all warm and fuzzy! it rained on and off but we didn’t let that spoil our fun… thanks for a lovely morning. x
well i can’t believe the day has been and gone. harry started school today. day 1 of 13 years!!! (and the rest!) GULP! he walked right in without a care in the world. he was just so excited to be there. he blew me a kiss, flashed me a few smiles and waved at me a wave that said ‘i’m totally fine mum… it’s ok for you to go!’…. ok for him maybe but i wasn’t quite ready… and i guess a few of us parents felt the same. we lingered outside, spying through windows, maybe secretly hoping at least one of these babies would run out for one last kiss and cuddle, maybe needing us to wipe a tear away and tell them that everything was going to be fine and wonderful… NUP!!! NONE OF THE LITTLE DEVILS EVEN LOOKED BACK! …
enjoy this time, make life long friends, absorb it all… and spread your wings…. x
after school harry said he had had a great day. he was however a little hot (it was 36 degrees today), a little tired, and a little ‘unimpressed’ that i wanted to take MORE photos (but with his friends this time!!)…. typical ‘chldren’s photographer’s son’ images follow:
ahh, yep, that’s him resting in the back ground!
and yep… he’s not actually in this one!!
poppy and julian you are superstars! i’m glad harry has such great friends to share this wonderful adventure with… x
yes, today my little baby went off to 3 year old kinder. i may have taken a few too many pics, but hey, i’m a children’s photographer AND.. HE’S MY BABY!!! i just can’t believe how grown up he has suddenly become. he really is sunshine! x
tom’s first day at kinder… from our place, the walk there, kinder play, snack afterward, walk home. he loved it. his only disappointment was that i had to stay!!!! (next week tiger!)
i can’t believe it’s already a month into 2010!! i had literally fallen off the ‘blogging’ planet but i am back! tom starts kinder tomorrow and harry starts school (i know!!!!) on tuesday. with rob home and the boys about to begin such amazing stages of their lives we decided to make the most of the summer together… and we did. it really has been such a special time for our family… time i will cherish.
i hope you all had a wonder filled christmas and i wish you a new year full of dreams coming true.
so to kick off the new ‘blogging’ year for little bird children’s and family photography…. MY ADORABLE BOYS:
some stuff:
i now wear glasses!! i had no idea how bad my vision was!! it really is amazing the clarity of things… a bit of a worry for a photographer me thinks… x
i have decided to get fit so have booked into boot camp (2 sessions for 5 weeks AT 6AM!!!!!!!!)… and tennis (i cannot play AT ALL.. but i figured it would be a nice sport i could share with my boys).. let’s see how it goes.
our au pair jenny has already hit her half way mark! it’s gone so quickly and she is such a great help to us. and tom is a little bit in love! if you’re considering it, i say do it! it gives the au pair the chance to come to a new country and travel and the extra hands are a great help!
it was very flattering to have an article about my career change on the front page of The Professional section of The Weekend Australian last weekend. it was titled ’switch in time for success’ it was about my career change from a senior project manager to becoming a photographer and running my own photography business.
my boys have grown so much. their pretend play just fills my heart with joy. i can’t believe my first baby is starting school on tuesday. i am so excited for harry but it does help that he is bursting with excitement at the thought of school. tom will miss him terribly. as will i. (sigh)… but i really look forward to watching him learn and grow and become more of the person he is going to be. he is a first born. very responsible. obeys the rules (and ensures tom does too).. he’s my sweet, serious, adorable little bird. spread those wings bub. x
these three little birds were just SO MUCH FUN!!! and the best of mates! we had such a fun time playing in the gardens together… we ran, we jumped, we danced and we played!!! and check out the huge muscles on these 2!!! such an ADORABLE FAMILY! and such a delightful children’s and family photography shoot! x
this was the last magnolia square event for 2009 and the last at brighton town hall. we’re very excited to have a new venue for next year at the beautiful st kilda town hall in addition to malvern. it is going to be so wonderful!! can’t wait!
everyone knows i LOVE magnolia square and all the goodies it has on offer but what i love even more than that are all the wonderful designers and creators we get to meet and share with. it’s a wonderful event on so many levels… so here are a few of the friendly faces you may see when you visit us next year….
oh and of course there is always a little something for the kids! x
