There is no doubt about it. Here’s the proof. I asked my husband to buy this mug for me for Christmas. It’s not just any ordinary mug. It’s a mug in the shape of a lens. Yes, that’s right…I am a photo nerd. I guess the first step to recovery is admitting it, huh? ha ha OHHHH…and not only do I have a mug in the shape of a camera lens…but I also took pictures of myself with it. ha ha! Enjoy…

What can I say.  I love photography.  : )

I am stunned as I watch the news about the floods in Queensland.  I feel like I need to do something to help but I have no idea what.  The only thing I can think of is to donate any sessions fees that I would have collected over the next two months to the flood relief appeal.

If you have been thinking about booking a session with me, now is the time to do it.  All I need from you is an email to shanna@joliejones.com.au so we can work out a date for your session and then once we have confirmed that, just send me a receipt of your donation and I will book you in.  Please follow the below link on how to donate:

http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html

If you are reading this and not in my area, please try to find some loose change to donate if you can spare it anyway.  Every little bit helps!

Here are just a few images of what has happened that I wanted to share:

I had the most beautiful little newborn girl in the studio recently.  She had a full head of gorgeous hair and a pretty little face.  I had so much fun playing with her.  Here is a sneak peek from that session:

Thank-you for allowing me to photograph your beautiful baby Sarah!  She is way too gorgeous.  Look out dad!  You’re going to have to fend of the boys!

I had the happiest baby I have ever met in the studio recently.  He had a HUGE smile in all of his photos.  Made my life soooo easy!  The only hard part I had was trying to decide which proofs to show the parents.  Unfortunately there were way too many cute ones and so I had to show them all!  Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the photos from that session:

Thank-you for sharing your little cutie with me Lisa!  He is so adorable.  Lucky you!

So I had several newborn sessions last month and I’m finally starting to get caught up on some stuff and able to post some blog entries.  This was another recent newborn session I had.  Finally a girl!  I have had a ton of boys this year but not many girls.  It was nice to be able to play with some girly stuff again.  Here’s a peek at some of the photos from that session:

Thanks for choosing me to take these precious photos Kirsty.  I enjoyed meeting your sweet little girls.  I’ll let you know when your order is ready!
