It’s that time of year.  Time for updated portraits of my girls.  I try to take a professional photo of each of my girls at least once a year.  They grow up soooooo fast and I don’t want to miss it!  Their legs are getting longer by the minute and sometimes I tell them to stop growing.  *sigh*  Time flies.  When is the last time you had a professional portrait done of your children?  Don’t wait too long.  They change so quickly.  Here are my gorgeous girls:

Love you my beautiful girls!  Thank-you for a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

I have had a my biggest year ever this year with the business. So many wonderful clients. I have been very blessed. Thank-you to everyone that has believed in me enough to hire me to take your special photos this year. I feel very honoured everytime I gain a new client and all of my old ones come back for more. I look forward to sharing my favourite moments over the past year next month when we return from holidays. Stay tuned for that! It will be a mamoth post! LOL

See you all next year! : D

Well, it’s that time of year again.  Time for some updated family photos.  This time I talked my friend Leanne from Little Sunshine Photography into taking our pictures for us.  It’s a bit hard to do your own family photos when you’re meant to be IN them!  LOL  Leanne did a fabulous job with my girls.  We actually got them looking at the camera smiling which is a bit of a miracle if you know my girls at all… ha ha  I highly recommend Leanne if you’re looking for a fabulous natural light family photographer(especially if you have four year olds…he he)!  Anyway, here are the ones I chose to edit and share.  Enjoy!

Thank-you Leanne!  I love them!

The 2011 Australian Professional Photography Awards were held over the weekend in Sydney. I had the priviledge to be able to attend this year.  This is the first year that I have entered the awards.  I was lucky enough to walk away with two awards. I won a silver and a silver distinction for two of the four prints that I entered. Here’s a peek at the photos that I entered this year:

Here is a closer look at the images that I entered this year:

Notice the pin-ups?!  They are something totally new for me.  I am having fun doing my own personal project this year and they are it!  I am working on a vintage pin-up calendar for next year and these are two of the images that are going into the calendar.  So fun!  If you are interested in booking a pin-up or boudoir session with me, please give me a ring on 6294 7576 to discuss details!  I LOVE doing these pin-ups!

It’s been awhile since I shared a picture of my girls.  I snapped this one today while they were agreeable to co-operate for lollies.  LOL  I hardly ever get a good picture of them together, so this is a precious photo for me!  Kids never seem to co-operate with their parents when it comes to taking pictures.  ha!  Anyway, here is my sweet little Jemma(two and a half) and beautiful Jolie(nearly four and a half)!

~Love you my beautiful girls! <3 Mommy
