Love my beautiful girl.  <3

Jemma is sneaking ever so much closer to the big fat ONE.  I get nauseous just thinking about it.  No more baby!  : (  She turned 11 months old this week.

Is there such a thing?  Apparently my nephew can’t wait to be a “tween”.  He’s only 10, so he technically he has 2 years to go.  So, I guess he’s a “pretween” right now.  ; )  Anyway, I had an urban shoot with him whilst I was in Denver recently and I finally got around to editing them.  He is really into graffiti so we went scouting for locations for the photoshoot while we were there.  After searching for what seemed like forever, I finally found a few cool walls down in the Art District.  He was quite impressed with them.  I think they made for a cool backdrop, what do you think?

Hey Hunter!  I hope you like your pictures!  Miss you!

Love  ~Auntie Shanna  xoxo

You read that right…it says CANBERRA newborn photographer.  It was made official yesterday.  My husband got a promotion at work and we are being transferred to Canberra!  We are excited to begin our new adventure.  : )  We will be moving at the end of next month.  If you live in the Canberra area and would like to make a booking for next year, please shoot me an email to shanna@joliejones.com.au to save a spot.  I’m looking forward to meeting the Canberra babies and kids!

In the meantime I have several sessions to complete in Darwin before we pack up and leave.  Today I had one of my maternity clients back in the studio.  This time she brought her beautiful new baby girl with her.  She’s got the cutest little dimpled smile.  She’s absolutely babylicious!  Here’s a look back at one of my most popular maternity pictures of mum before bub came along…

And here’s bub now!

Thanks for coming by today Lucy and Matt.  It was good seeing you guys again.  Your little one is too sweet for words!

I had a previous client back in the studio again today.  Last time she was here with her kiddies she only had two.  Now she has three, including her beautiful new baby girl.  The oldest girl was born at the same time as Jolie.  We hung out at the hospital together.  It has been fun watching them grow up.  : )  Here’s a little peek at some of the pictures we got today.

Thanks for coming by today Stephanie!  It was good to see you and the kids.  We definitely need to meet up for coffee before you go back to work.  : )
