Welcome

Welcome to my blog for my website, Linda Kitson Photography. I am a portrait photographer, based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and specialise in maternity, newborn, baby, child and family photography.

Here you will find favourite images from my sessions, and other information that I want to share with everyone.

I would love to be able to capture your shots, for no matter what stage your family is at, whether it is maternity, newborn, baby, or family shots that you have in mind. Please check out my website, and then contact me to book your session.

11 days new – Miss E | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Last week I was lucky enough to meet Miss E and her parents – Miss E had been in no real hurry to arrive, but as all babies must, eventually she did.  Was wonderful to feel the love in the air, she certainly has everyone wrapped around her finger, including me I must add.  Whilst curiosity had her staying awake, eventually she went off to the land of nod, allowing us to capture some wonderful images of this very fleeting time in her life.  C & M, I enjoyed meeting you all, and hope you enjoy this little sneak of our session, will let you know once the gallery is ready.

And here she is, the apple of her daddy’s eye, looking so peaceful & gorgeous – unlike 10 minutes earlier!!!

3 weeks of sweetness – Miss M | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

I was lucky enough to meet Miss M this week, who certainly made us work for the shots and then some.  She was quite happy to be awake, but firmly resisted our efforts to get her off to sleep, however finally she did bomb out, just long enough for us to get some great shots of her.

Hope you enjoy the little sneak peek mum & dad, will let you know when the gallery is ready.

Mr L – look at that smile and those eyes | Melbourne child photographer

Meet Mr L, a beautiful little 2 month old boy, who had the most wonderful smile, and those eyes – wow will he be a lady killer in about 17 years time!!!!

He gave us some lovely little smiles, and really played up for the camera – he was a real little ham, and I loved it all.  It is moments like this that make me really love this job (oh and for the first time in ages, nothing to wash after the session, another bonus!!)

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek M & C, the galley will be ready soon

Mr J – a new year, a new life | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

What an incredible way to kick off 2010 sessions.  As an awesome start to the new year, I was lucky enough to share this special time with the proud parents of Mr J.   He was just so sweet, and even when he was awake, was more than happy to be photographed, but our persistence in trying to get him to sleep paid off and he finally decided watching what I was doing was less important than catching up on some much needed rest and he dropped off.  He had the most beautiful fleeting little smile too that played around his little face, and lit it all up.

Hope you enjoy this little sneak peak mum & dad, and the move went well, will have the rest of the gallery ready soon.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Well, so hard to believe that it is Christmas tomorrow, although my boys are both well and truly ready for it; in fact they have told me they will be in bed by 7.30 tonight, as that will make Santa come quicker they think.

I love this time of year, it is so magical, a time for reflection on what is truly important in life, and for new beginnings as well as endings.

Many thanks to all my wonderful clients this year, and I hope to see families back to update their shots, it will be so wonderful to continue seeing those little newborns blossom into the ones and twos.

My new years resolution – to keep on with the Flylady program (flylady.net), and have my home definitely out from under the clutter I have helped it accumulate – 2 rooms down so far, and amazed how much better it all is already.

Take care out there this holiday season – the best gift you can give your family is to still be there, so just slow down and  get there safely

And lastly, as I have to share a photo, here is my lovely present to the whole family, Leila, the Devon Rex, a cheeky minx if ever there is one, who has the whole family wrapped around her paw.

Miss B – a bub in a rush to meet the world | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Meet Miss B, who decided she did not really want to wait the whole time, and so came 6 weeks early, definitely an early Christmas present (and what better present could you ask for).

Initially she decided that seeing what was going on would be far more interesting than going to sleep, but eventually she lost the battle, and so we were able to capture some wonderful images. I love bubs at this beautiful stage, which is so very fleeting.

I know dad will particularly love the last 2 here, should have the gallery ready with the rest of them soon, hope you both enjoy these in the meantime.

Mr Z – 2 week old boy with a smile | Melbourne newborn photographer

Good to be back on the air again, computers urgh!!!! Anyway, after a change of ISP, I am back again.

Up into the ranges I met Mr Z and his parents, who were pleased to show off the latest addition to the family. At first Mr Z wasn’t sure he wanted to miss all the excitement of the photoshoot, but eventually he succumbed to the heat, and gave us plenty of time to get some beautiful sleeping shots. He even gave the most darling little smile that will warm his mums heart when she sees it, I am sure. So happy to meet you all, and the gallery will be up in a few days. Enjoy this sneak peek.

3 week old beauty | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Last week I met Miss A, who has her mum and dad totally captivated, and on meeting her, I can certainly see why. At first, she was not having any of our attempts to woo her back to sleep, but with a some persistance we were able to persuade her to ignore all the exciting goings on, and to go to sleep for us.
Enjoy the sneak peek B & J, I will let you know once the gallery is ready.
