Rory's Cake Smash

Lucky Rory had his mum make his very own cake for this session because he DEVOURED it in the beginning. I must say I love the navy and gold balloons with his blue eyes, he’s such a gorgeous boy!

First up are images for his ‘One Year Portrait’ featured the dark wood backgrounds I have - a personal favourite of mine.

Rainbow baby

EEP! I’m so behind on my blogging!

I loved doing this session for this very special rainbow baby. Mackensie had a very doting big brother and a pair of incredibly loving parents, it was important to all of us that we capture them as a family together, some of just her and, of course, the all important sibling shots.

Welcome to the world baby girl!

Ivianna's Cake Smash

Ivianna’s mum had organised a ‘tea party’ theme for her first birthday , so we knew we just had to get a shot of her in the tea cup for her one year portrait!

Ivianna LOVED her cake and totally smashed into it, stopping only briefly for a cheeky smile for mum and dad. When bath time came she was still trying to tuck into the cake, something that happens almost every cake smash 😂 mmm bath water and cake, my favourite 😑

I still have bookings available for Christmas Minis on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th October, you can find all the info here and book here

Central Coast Christmas Mini Session

I honestly cannot believe I’m typing this. On one hand I’m like ‘where has the year gone?’ and on the other hand i’m thinking ‘WHERE HAS THE LAST 4 YEARS GONE?!’. When I started my Christmas Minis four years ago I used the front of the bar we have on our deck, it was totally rustic, had great natural light and a whole heap of space! I was so grateful to clients coming to my home for the first time and trusting me to capture their child/s Christmas photos. Every year it’s a joy for me to watch your kids grow as they transition from being babies, to becoming siblings and even to starting school 😱

Things are a little different this year, previously I would have an event on Facebook where everyone could book in their session and this year you’re now able to book your own session via my website, it’s MUCH more streamlined and takes out a lot of the guess work! I’ve put in all the info you need for your mini session in this blog post, if you still have questions feel free to email me :)

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR MINI SESSION

Due to the size of the set up this session is strictly for siblings only, if you wish to get some extra photos with cousins please book back to back sessions have to be booked with a maximum of 4 children.

When you book via the website I get you to fill out a few details, you’re given info to pay the deposit as well as terms and conditions of the shoot. I usually confirm your session 24-48 hours prior to your session starting. A $50 deposit is required at the time of booking with remaining amount due on the day which can be paid via cash, bank transfer or eftpos.

My studio is also my lounge room, it means it’s a nice safe and most of all relaxed space. I have an assistant and dear friend working with me on the day. Amy walks you through, takes payment, makes all sorts of noises to grab the attention of little kiddies and let me tell you the kids LOVE her, as a mum of two she is a total pro and has seen it all!

TIPS FOR A SMOOTH SESSION

I find it always helps to talk about the session when you book and even leading up to the shoot.

Please arrive on time, due to the nature of these session we run to a tight schedule and if you are late that runs into your session time.
Talk about the session before hand (eg.we’re going to see Ginny today to take some photos and have some fun!) let them know that Santa is watching and that I am the boss ;)
Talk about why we take these photos, ask them if they want a printed photo in their room when you get your photos back. Seeing themselves in print gives them so much confidence as well as a sense of belonging and importance in the family unit.
Be relaxed the morning of! I can’t stress this enough, children really feed off our stress and anxiety so it’s important to be chilled and look forward to the session. Trust me, we always get the shot ;)
You’re always welcome to bring a favourite teddy or Christmas book to add a personal touch to your photos

WHAT TO WEAR

In the hopes of taking some of the guess work out of what colours to dress your little ones in, I have provided some colour pallets that will go well with our set up.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY PHOTOS

Arlo's newborn shoot

Arlo arrived into the world at a comfortable 4.3 kgs (9 pounds 8 ounces). I don’t know what is in the water but lately all the babies who have been coming into my studio have been a mini mum 4kg or at least 55cm long - I take my hat of to the mothers who birth these babies!.

Coming into the studio were his parents Sarah and Tim and one super proud big brother Landyn - who reminded me very much of my own JJ. Mum had requested some posed photos of baby Arlo but also natural family and sibling images, I feel like the simple colours and set ups from this session really complimented this gorgeous family and we certainly had a really nice time talking about everything from work to our babies starting school next year 😭

One of the family images from this shoot also earned a bronze award in in the International Rise Photographer Awards which is an outstanding achievement!
