In other news…I received a copy of the National Playgroup Magazine, Totline, this week and was happy to see that some photos I took last year at an event were featured on three seperate pages.  Very exciting!  I also had a half page ad in the issue as well.  It looked fantastic if I do say so myself!  Flip through and check it out if you have a copy laying around. : )

I had the sweetest little baby girl in the studio last weekend.  She was all smiles the whole time!  Loved it.  Very happy baby indeed.  We even got to sneak outside for some photos as well.  Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the phones we got during the session.

Thanks so much for bringing your little cutie pie by the studio Kate!  She is adorable.  I’ll be in touch soon!

I had my second set of newborn twins within a month recently. There must be something in the water?! : ) I had lots of fun playing with these two precious little girls. One was born a whole kg less than the other! I couldn’t believe it. At our session they were 2kg and 3kg respectively. That’s a whole 1 1/2 times bigger than her sister! Wow. They are both doing really well though. I’m sure little sis will start catching up in no time. You’ll be seeing much more of these little twins over the next year. Mum signed them up for the baby bundle package. Can’t wait to see how big they will be come April! Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the photos we got whilst they were here.

Thank-you so much for sharing your little bundles with me Nicole!  I can’t wait to see what they look like in a couple of months!  Talk soon!

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:
