My niece is visiting from Sydney this week.  We’ve had a great time showing her around Canberra and spending time with her.  She has been a lifesaver for me in the past week as I needed a babysitter at the last minute!  She did a great job.  She’s turning 15 soon and I thought I would do a little photoshoot for her while she was here.  We had plans to do them outside but the weather hasn’t been co-operating the past few days.  Raining like crazy!  We ended up in the studio in the end.  That’s okay though, I think they turned out great.  She looks so pretty against the blue backdrop.  LOVE those freckles!  Here are a couple of snaps from our session together yesterday:

I hope you like them Steph!

I had the cutest little seven month old girl in the studio today for a mini session.  Just love that big gummy grin!  Here are a few photos from our session today:

Thanks for coming by today Jen!  I had a great time with your sweet little one.  I’ll be in touch!

One of my maternity clients got to welcome home her newborn baby girl recently.  She is so cute.  I had the opportunity to photograph her on Thursday.  She was 12 days old and ready to face the world.  They were here for 3 1/2 hours and she only slept for about 5 minutes during that time.  I guess she didn’t want to miss out on the party?  he he  Anyway, we didn’t get a chance to get a bunch of different shots but be did get the ones that mum wanted and that’s all that matters, right? : )

Here’s a look back at mum’s bump before baby arrived on the scene.  I love this shot.  I got it printed on metallic paper and have it displayed in the studio.  It looks fantastic in print!:

Here she is! I decided to go all creative on this one again. Love how it matches the bump shot:

Here’s a closer look at the little cutie! Dressed in some booties to match her nursery. : )

This shot was one that mum wanted as well. This was taken in a bassinet that mum slept in when she was a baby too. How cool is that?

One last close up, just cuz. She looks so peaceful.

I hope you like them Meg! I’ll let you know when the rest are ready.

Time for another self-portrait update.  I got my hair cut, so thought I better update my picture on my website.  I don’t want to confuse people when they see me in person!  Just a quick one.  I got a LOT of hair cut off.  Here is the before and after:

Still not loving it.  She cut off more than I wanted.  Oh and yes, I wear glasses most of the time.  : )
