Koda's Sitter Session

EEP! I could hardly believe it that it was time for Koda to come in for his sitter session, it literally felt like last month I was capturing him and his brothers for his newborn shoot. Not only has Koda grown but so has Laikin and Pheonix, it was beautiful watching these boys playing together, I bet Koda can hardly wait until he is running and chasing them!

Outfits can have the ability to make or break your photos, a crazy logo or fluro colours can really be a stand out for all the wrong reasons! So after chatting with Alana, we came up with a few outfit ideas that would suit the backdrops we have in mind as well as being true to Koda and his big brothers own style. I think Alana nailed the outfits for the boys!

Playing In Puddles Family Mini Session

Camilla and I met through a community bootcamp sponsored by Medibank called Live Life Get Active, when she saw my offer of Family Mini session photoshoot she got contact to book her session asap. You can find the info on the offer here. I only have 5 of these left! Eep!

I have a few locations that I like to take different clients too depending on their own taste or requests and when discussing a location for this shoot we spoke about how Camilla + Dave like to go for bushwalks with their kiddos and I immediately knew which spot I would take them to.

One of the things I get asked a lot before a session is ‘what do I wear?! what do my kids wear?!’. Believe me, I totally get how stressful this part can be because what you wear can make a huge impact on how your photos turn out. As a result I have started to send out colour chart and ask you to pick which colour pallete you like best and choose your clothes around those colours. A lot of the time clients send me a quick picture of their outfits all laid out on the bed to double check that they will be ok. I LOVE when clients do this, it not only helps me prepare for you session but it also helps you to get excited about your shoot because the hardest part is over, now all you need to do is turn up and have fun!

Images from the session are below, the image at the end is my all time fav, all 5 pairs of eyes look at me smiling and NO headships! Dream come true! Let me know which image at the end you prefer: colour or B + W.

“So happy with the photos Ginny took of our family 😀 Her choice of location was perfect for us and she was fantastic at keeping the kids (ages 1,4,6yold) happy and interested in the shoot. She had captured our family beautifully and I love the natural feel with trees and bush surrounds.”

Baby Announcement / Glitter session

Booking this session in went a little something like this:

Me: ‘Michelle! We need to do these sibling photos, and I have some new backdrops that I think would perfectly with your style’ *sends picture of new backdrops’

Michelle: ‘ That looks great, like a Hao Long Bay sunset! Also, we might have another reason for this shoot…I have some news’

Me: ‘omg, omg, omg…are you saying what I think you’re saying?!’

A few weeks ago Michelle and her girls Mia and Lily came into the studio to celebrate the announcement a new sibling on the way! This was such a fun and special session for me, to be a small part of documenting the big moments in family life are what make my ‘job’ so great.

Michelle and I met at mother’s group when our firstborn babies were just 6 weeks old, they turn 5 this November. Throughout our friendship I have photographed Mia’s cake smash, Michelle’s second pregnancy as well as Lily for her newborn photos. The photos from that session are proudly displayed on my studio walls and Michelle + Dans lounge room and now I can’t wait for this little bubs newborn session in my studio in Umina.

Custom Onsie is from TinyLabel, another business a mum from our mother’s group owns and operates.

Enjoy these images and the story they tell 💕

It needs to be said that these girls are so gorgeous inside and out just like their parents.

FYI, I’m still finding glitter in my studio 😂

Special thanks to TinyLabel for this custom onsie!

In Michelle’s words ‘ Excitement, shock, overwhelmed... All the feelings when you find out there's another baby on the way!!!’.

Special thanks to TinyLabel for getting this custom design turned around so quickly! Announce your little one is on its way with your very own customised onesie. Work with the girls from TinyLabel to create your own special something.

CODY IS ONE

Cody turned ONE in the blink of an eye! Cody’s mum was loving the idea of something gold to match his hat (see below) and his dad wanted something blue - enter me! Carly left the rest up to me and I created a happy medium between gold and blue whilst remaining true to Cody’s own individual style (let’s face it, this kid has flare). He might’ve made us work a little bit harder for those smiles, but it was worth it! It’s a good thing I’m quick with my camera 😉

How cute is his hat?!

Cody loved his bath 💕

This one is my fav, but I can’t decide which is better: colour or black + white? Leave a comment below 👇🏼

RYDER IS ONE

Ryder and his parents came into the studio for his cake smash. When we were talking about colours, themes etc for Ryders Cake Smash, Christina told me she had the cutest baby shark outfit. I was so excited because it gave me a chance to use my ‘under the sea’ backdrop as well as another one that looked like ‘sand’, match made in heaven! I’ll share the images below as well as his milestone portraits.

omg, he LOVED the bath so much, all the bubbles went everywhere on the floor and ended up looking like sea foam 😂
