Meet beautiful baby Violet and her best buddy Chester. They say dogs and babies are the hardest to work with – well these two were an exception, perfectly posed in just minutes!

This gorgeous little guy ‘s blog post is long overdue, I apologise for my lack of blogging, Im well into the thick of wedding season, as well as lots of shoots for family photos before Chrismtas and so it is BUSY!!!

Little Sonny is the gorgeous baby boy welcomed by this beautiful couple Heather and Anthony.

He looked like a gorgeous old soul with his creased forehead and chilled alertness.

Heather and Anthony I have no doubt he will bring you such joy over the coming years:)

Amber, he is gorgeous and it is beautiful to see you so happy and in love with your new little guy, motherhood is wonderful isnt it?!!!.

I was prepared this time, the ideal time to photograph a newborn is between day 4 and up to day 14, as they are usually nice and sleepy in this time, and they change so much in those first few weeks.
On day 2 I got the beautiful photos in the post below of my husband Gareth and Indi. On day 4 I tried to do her photos on her own. I had the room prepared to a toasty temp of 35 and eased her into some poses.

No chance. The minute she was undressed she cried. The only time she ever cries is still when shes undressed. (Daddy’s rather pleased about this!)  I tried wrapping her, but to no avail. I did this every day for the following 9 days till I decided its just not going to happen. On day 7 I tried to take the perfect shot of my 3 gorgeous children. I have about 30 hilarious photos of many face pulls and outtakes. I managed to photo merge one to something I like and the rest I will forever laugh at, and remember that day – the pleading, distracting and bribery, none of which worked!

And a few of the fantastic outtakes!

It was a crisp morning but this beautiful family had such a wonderful backyard that I couldnt help but use it for her first photos. One of the many reasons I love being able to travel to you for your newborn sessions, its so personal incorporting your home surroundings.

Sam, Darcy, Jewel and Willow it was such a pleasure to meet you all and photograph your beautiful new addition.

These gorgeous belly castings are by artist Sally Newman from Estomac Art. It was the most beautiful belly casting I have ever seen, so much so that Sally is coming to do my belly on Monday! I cant wait to curl baby girl in it for some photos.

Her big brother was so cute with her and cuddled her so carefully. They were so sweet!!

Thankyou Miller family for having me, I have just put your gallery up online:)

Kerrie and Neil, your little girl is gorgeous,  she is going to be well looked after by her two big buddies!!!

I have known Sarah since we were 5, and have gone through our complete schooling together, so to see her bloom as a Mother and do it so gracefully and naturally has been beautiful.

Thank You Sarah and Jason for allowing me the pleasure to photograph your beautiful little boy. I look forward to being able to watch him grow over the coming years.

You can see his first photo shoot still inside his Mama here.

The newness that these little babies have when we do our session is so perfect, its not until you look back at these images weeks down the track, and are then able to remember just how little they were.

Lisa, Chris, Brooklyn and Lucas, thankyou for choosing me to capture this beautiful time in your lives.

She is a feisty little one, knowing exactly what she wants all the time!!  Her big sister doted on her so gently the whole time; these two are going to have such fun together growing up!!
