Little Ray of Sun Shine

A true little ray of sunshine came into this world this time last year, and on Saturday she celebrated her First birthday along with a added extra celebration: her Naming Day.

This little girl just captivates me, I could sit, watch and learn from her all day. She is what I have dreamed a little girl to be, pure.

I love the little chubby cheeks and glisten a beautiful shade of red, and those delish thighs that you could sit and squeeze all day just to listen to the joy-us laughter that it causes. She has taken my heart from the beginning, and it has been a total honour to have the family ask me to come back and be apart of her next chapter.

Clearly besides myself being smitten, I think it’s fair to say that she is definitely dad’s apple in his eye. It rare to find a father that is so in love with his daughter publicly. I love the way they, speak without speaking, and it was so easy to capture the love and ‘father-daughter’ bond between them.
You can also see just how much this little Girl means to the whole family, there was not one person present that wasn't besotted by her presents.

Happy 1st Birthday and Naming Day little Princess, I hope to share in many more to come.

Mum, Dad and Bray, thank you so much for having me there, look forward to seeing you again soon xx

I LOVE........

Fresh home from today's Naming Day and i need to share with you the 'I LOVE' for this week:

I really do love what i do, stepping inside this family home today, i saw these on the wall and smiled, i smiled inside and out knowing i had helped these people capture those special moments. Honestly what an honour.

K Family - Melbourne Session

Firstly i was blessed with photographing the most wonderful family,

Secondly, i was graced with a AWSOME sunrise.

Location: Royal Botanical Gardens, St. Kilda Road, Melbourne

L and her 3 divine children, meet me on a VERY cold Saturday morning in Melbourne for their session, after a few snaps at the Shrine we headed off into the Botanical Gardens to finish off the session. I have have known L and her 3 babies for a number of years. I used to babysit A & E when they where little and it was such an honour that i was able to photograph them 5+ years on.

There where so many I could have posted but I didn’t want to bog people’s internet.

S Family Session - Melbourne

What an awesome way to start my Melbourne Sessions. Crisp air with that bursting warm sun shine making it’s way into what turned out to be another stunning Melbourne day.

Our Location: Queen’s Park, Moonee Ponds, Melbourne

The session started really well, but despite all his cuteness and cheeky grins poor C was suffering a cold and an ear infection which just got the better of him. So who where we to argue, we decided to play it his way and take his lead for the rest of the session. B you little rock star, may all your dreams come true, hope mum got you to school on time.

E & J thank you so so so much for the complete privilege to photograph you and you’r two amazing boys, you both should be so proud of all the hard work you'r putting into them, as it honestly shows.

I LOVE........

AIRPORTS!

Don’t worry if you think I’m crazy, my family know it already!

To be honest I could quite happily sit, watch, wonder, make up amazing stories and watch family drama’s unfold all day long in a airport terminal.

People when it’s my time, forget the park bench by the sea I want a chair in the Airport!

MIA

Hello blog readers,

Why you may ask?

The crisp foggy mornings followed by beautiful sunny afternoons lazying away under a blanket with a little warm body snuggled up againts you, there really is nothing better.

Oh yeah, and yummy corn on the cob lathered with butter
