I had a sweet little baby girl in the studio recently.  Loved photographing her and her family.  I met mum and dad for the first time at their mini maternity session and was looking forward to meeting bub.  She was too precious!   We got lots of photos whilst they were here.  Here’s a little(big) sneak peek:

Thanks so much for choosing me to take these special pictures Jacqui!  I had a wonderful time with you guys.  I hope you enjoy them for a long time to come.  : )

I took my girls out for a few snapshots in front of some beautiful blossom trees recently.  Love all of the colours outside right now.  Especially the green trees and grass.  It just makes me so happy for some reason.  Anyway, here are a few snapshots of my girls!  Enjoy!

If you would like to book a family session while everything is so green and beautiful outside, please give me a ring on 6294 7576 or email me at shanna@joliejones.com.au.  Now is the time for some gorgeous outdoor photos!  The perfect Christmas gift!

This is a bit of continuation from my previous post.  This sweet family tagged along during my Photog Family session on the weekend.  They are friends of the family and happen to live in Canberra.  Whilst they were there, I had a to take a few snaps of them too.  Gotta love it when kids pose for me.  : )  How cute are they?

You have a couple of cute kids Ally!  : )

I had the opportunity today to take some family snaps for a photog friend of mine.  She travelled with her family all the way from Wagga Wagga (2 1/2 hours away) for the event.  I felt privelged that she wanted me to take her family pictures.  It’s always such an honour when asked by another photog to photograph them.  We had a great time at the park today.  I almost got every shot I wanted to get except for a headshot of her oldest son.  He was not having it.  I guess that’s what happens when you’re a kid of a photog…you get sick of the camera being in your face all the time…LOL  Oh well, at least I caught him in the family snap!  Luckily her youngest smiled sweetly for me on his own.  What a cutie.  Here are a few from today.

Isn’t she gorgeous?

Thanks for today Jodie.  I hope you like them!  I’ll let you know about the rest soon.

We made it to Canberra!  We are officially moved into our new house.  No more boxes to unpack.  All I have left to do is organise the studio and then I’m all set!  Yippee!  I love Canberra so far.  The climate is perfect.  I can actually open the windows in my house to get some fresh air blowing through the place.  Love that! 

Christmas was great.  This was the first time we have spent Christmas alone as a family.  The kids had a great time and it was fun to see them opening presents and playing with their toys.  Christmas is way more fun with kids.  : )

I’m lucky to have been able to take the past month off.  I was a bit overworked before we left Darwin but I loved every minute of it.  I still have a few orders to wrap up and then I’m free to start shooting in Canberra.  I’m looking forward to meeting new people and I can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store for me!  Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I thought I would take a look back at 2009.  I worked my butt off this year!  So many wonderful clients and so many beautiful pictures to choose from.  I had a hard time deciding!  Anyway, without further adieu…here are my top ten fave pics from 2009…enjoy!
