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.

Miss S – who was very comfy where she was, and in no hurry at all | Melbourne newborn photographer

Welcome to the world Miss S – she was reluctant to arrive, but I am sure mum and dad are so pleased that she finally did make her appearance.  At first Miss S was very keen to check out what was going on, and showed no sign of any sleepiness, but eventually sleep got the better of her, and we were able to get some beautiful shots.  Will have the rest ready soon S, in the meantime enjoy!!

Miss C – Oh I do so love a sleeping newborn | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Last week I was lucky enough to meet Miss C, who was sweet enough to give her mum a very quick labour, even if it was Easter Sunday.  Forewarned that she should sleep well, she did indeed live up to this, and with only a murmur or two, she let us capture some great shots, before she decided enough was enough.

Amongst the many things I had brought to the session, she was only too happy to model a new cocoon I had made, and from her expression, she definitely seemed to like it.

I also got to try out an awesome new wrap I had bought from one of my favourite sellers on Etsy.com, madaboutcolour (for anyone who has not yet found it, Etsy is a very dangerous site to your wallet, as it has all sorts of great newborn hats, wraps etc, and as such is very addictive),  and was able to try this shot, inspired by a shot from one of my favourite American newborn photographers, Blair Blanks (her website is blairblanks.com – check her out).  Hope you enjoy these T, I will have the gallery ready soon.

3 1/2 week old beauty | Melbourne baby photographer

This week I met Miss G and her family, who were referred to me by another client (thanks B), and had the opportunity to capture some beautiful memories of her and her mum.  She made us work for the shots, and I think we definitely wore her out. I am sure she slept for hours afterwards, but she was so very interested in what we were doing, I don’t think she wanted to miss a minute.  But we did still manage to get some great shots of her sleeping, hope you enjoy these S, will let you know once the gallery is ready.

Miss S – so sweet and sleepy | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Meet Miss S, another sleeping beauty.  What a life, being able to go around and take picture of babies, I do love my job!!!  She slept through nearly the whole session, almost without incident, and allowed us to capture some beautiful shots.  Hope you enjoy the sneak peak E, should have the rest ready soon.

Mr E – couldn’t wait to get here, a bub in a rush…| Melbourne Newborn Photographer

Last week, I met Mr E & his mum – I had been meant to do a maternity shoot with his mum, but we had to postpone it, and unfortunately Mr E decided he did not want to wait to come into this world, so bang went the plans for our maternity shoot.  But when you have a newborn like this one, it makes up for it – he slept nicely through the whole thing, and let us do pose him with barely a murmur, I could happily have stayed there all day shooting.  Hope you enjoy these C, your gallery will be ready shortly.

Mr N – he will be a heartbreaker some day!!! | Melbourne Children Photographer

Last week I was lucky enough to meet Mr N and his family, finally (after I got lost getting there, but that is another story….), anyway Mr N has such a killer combination – blonde hair, beautiful dimples, and a little smile that just lit his whole face up everytime.  He will certainly be a heartbreaker when he is older, I am sure.  We had great fun, with him showing me all his little favourite spots both inside and outside his home, and I had such a great time – I just love this job.  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek S, the gallery will be ready shortly.

Sleeping beauty – 7 days of sweetness | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

When I walked into Miss L’s home, I was instantly drawn to the beautiful natural light flooding through the windows,  just perfect for our shoot.  Miss L slept very soundly, only stirring a couple of times, allowing us to capture some beautiful shots.  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek H & J, will have the gallery ready very soon for you.

2 busy boys – so full of energy I was tired just watching them | Melbourne child photographer

Last weekend I met Mr H & Mr D, 2 little boys just bounding with energy, if only we could bottle the energy of children, we would not need power stations!!!  They found many new things to check out at the playground, pausing now and then in their quest to check it all out before zooming off again.  I am sure they slept very soundly after the shoot, I certainly enjoyed meeting them, and capturing a little of this energy for their mum.  Hope you enjoy this sneak peek R, will have the gallery ready soon for you.

Waiting for bub – 6 weeks now and counting..|Melbourne Maternity Photographer

I was lucky enough to meet T & M, as well as their cats, and capture this time for them, whilst they await the arrival of their new little one.  I really enjoy capturing this time as sometimes it is hard to realise just how much love you radiate, until you see it afterwards, and I am glad that T decided that she wanted this time captured, so she can see this for herself.  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek, and can’t wait to meet your new little arrival.


A beautiful mum-to-be | Melbourne maternity photographer

I was lucky enough this week to meet Mrs V and Mr C, and capture this special time in their life.  They were both just so sweet and funny and in love and excited about their baby, you could just feel this radiating through the lens.  And dad-to-be was not only the one who surprised Mrs V with the shoot, he was also the creative genius behind many of the poses during the shoot.  Their willingness to try anything made for a wonderful session full of amazing images.  Hope you enjoy your sneak look, your gallery should be ready soon
