So Stunning… | Sneak Peek

August 30, 2009

This week I had the absolute pleasure of photographing one of *the* most stunning pregnant women I’ve ever seen. We headed down to the Gold Coast to do a maternity session and I even got to see Shehanas cousin and her adorable little baby Mya who I photographed as a newborn in April. Beautiful genes must run in the family! The extremely gorgeous (inside and out!) Shehana was such a natural model,  I hardly had to do any work! Unfortunately her husband couldn’t make it down for the session, but Shehana was such a trooper anyway! The location was a fairly rough walk from the road (I was puffed and I’m not event pregnant!), the water was icy cold and she even climbed to the top of a sandbank for me.  I’m still in awe at how perfect her little bump was!

Best of luck to you for the up and coming birth Shehana, I hope the little one holds off until your husband can join you!

Newborn Twins – Slater & Ash | Sneak Peek

August 21, 2009

This week I had the pleasure of traveling up the coast to meet Melanie and her two (identical!) gorgeous boys. These two little peanuts were nearly 5 weeks old and we weren’t too sure how they’d handle a newborn session.. They were so uncurly (for lack of a better word *grins*) and alert. The two of them certainly made us work hard during the session but once we finally got the little guys to sleep, they were great! I adore photographing newborns and twins certainly don’t roll around every day so thank you Melanie for inviting me into your home. I know you were stressed about time, but I’m glad you hung in there. I hope I captured some you love!

I just love these two photos next to each other. I want to hang these huge side by side on the wall, I wish they were mine!

Alter Ego.

August 2, 2009

Ah, one of my favorite subjects.. When shes co-operating of course! Gwen never ceases to amaze me when I photograph her..It can be such a painful experience at times *lol* but in the end I manage to end up with a gem like this serious shot of her. It intrigues me how a subtle change in facial expression can completely change the way I feel about a photo. The first photo of her is so much “darker” then my normal style and I didn’t like it at first, but I must say it’s grown on my so quickly and I love it. These portray her completely. One moment she can be so serious, angry or cranky, and in a split second shes a completely different kid!  I thought “Alter Ego” was quite fitting for these.. And I guess it’ll have to do, I can’t think of anything else that fits them!

It’s funny the way something can turn out completely different to what was in my head, and then turn out to be some of my favorite photos!

In all her glory..
