I know I shouldn’t have favourites but it is not every day I get to photograph twins. I love twins !! It is so special watching them grow.

I know you shouldn’t compare them and you should treat them as individuals but you can’t help it. You compare which one rolls, which one sits longer, which one talks more, which one is more social, which one is more of a Mum’s girl. It is just natural and we all do it I think. I find all these things interesting as it really shows their personalities and the differences between them. I like to work out their little personalities.

These twins are so so gorgeous that I can’t help but cluck over both of them. I love getting cuddles while Mum changes outfits. I always make sure I split my time evenly as I am obsessed about ensuring they both get my attention. I just love these two girls and after every shoot I have with them, I am always smiling from ear to ear.

A quick shot with the very proud big brother:

This is one of our “once in a blue moon” shoots. We ran these for the last two weeks in August and our spots went like hotcakes. We randomly run specials on the blog and facebook so keep your eyes open to snap up one of our spots.

I first photographed Sam when he was a tiny newborn. This big one year old is still as gorgeous as his first shoot. He is such a cruisy child. He smiles at everything, he loves the camera and he made our shoot one of the easiest ever.

I simply love the emotion in these photos. You can see how much Sam adores his Mum and Dad and it is without a doubt that they have the same love in return. This set of photos sums up the love of a child perfectly.

A heap of my babies are turning one and I struggle to cope with that. I hate them turning one, there I said it. Why? Because that means they are growing up. That means that time is going way to fast. It means that my year of documenting them comes to an end.

I love watching them grow. I love every session we do together. I love seeing their behaviour change and their personalities grow. I love watching them turn from a needy little bubby who depends on their mother for everything, to a little grown up who at the age of one, thinks they can do anything in their little world. I love the attitudes and I love the cheekiness.

This is Ella. I documented Ella’s arrival into the world and now she is big. In her eyes she is very big and the world is not going to stop her. She loves to run and run and run. There is no slowing this little Miss down, but why would you want to. She has the world at her feet and she should go for it. Big hugs and kisses Ella, you are gorgeous.

Pure perfection. I could talk forever about how perfect he is. He was the dream baby for me. He came in with a full belly and never woke up. Mum and Dad undressed him and he stayed asleep. I moved and poked and moulded him into shape and he still stayed asleep. He allowed me to get everything I had planned for and even some moves from the more advanced poses.

The biggest reason why he allowed me to do what we did is because he was just 6 days old. I can’t stress enough that the younger the baby is, the more perfect the shoot. They stay asleep, they loved to be curled and they are pure putty in your hands. I always ask my clients to let me know when they are due so I can pencil them in and save room. Like today, I have a newborn shoot at lunchtime. Mum rang the other day telling me she had a bub who was a week old and I rescheduled some other clients to get bubby in. I always will make room for my newborns because it is essential to get them as young as possible.

Enjoy these photos. I Adore them with a captial A. They make me smile, they warm the heart and they make you appreciate how perfect a newborn is and how that stage doesn’t last long enough.

Busy just doesn’t describe my workload at the moment. Chaotic, hectic, insane sound much closer to the mark.

Today I have photographed the Koolest Kid in the Manning, a 3 year old and 3 week old, a 4mth old, spoke to a future bride and edited 2 photo shoots. Now as I sit here to blog, I am pigging out on the mega block of chocolate my darling husband bought for me last night (sucking up for potentially more chocolate) and having my caffeine hit of the day. I do have training tonight with my personal trainer but thank god I think he is to busy to read my blog so I should be safe !!

3 things on my mind:

1. Wedding season officially starts in a week and a bit. That excites me more than scares me. I am so totally into my style with weddings at the moment and I am loving it. We often have a reflection over winter and find direction. What do I want my photos to look like? What is my style? Does it say enough about me? Does it capture the things I want to say? Do they have that wow factor I am looking for? I have just finished Kylie & Matthew’s wedding from a couple of weekends ago and I LOVE them. I am loving my wedding photography mojo at the moment and am excited for all the weddings that lie ahead.

2. Christmas. Yes it does seem a bit early to start talking the C word but I am planning my Christmas specials for this year.

3. Diet Coke and chocolate. Ok, this is only here as that is what is in my hand at the moment. So totally satisfying. I have to add my cravings drive Jase insane. Yes I am eating chocolate and drinking Diet Coke. To me that is totally normal. I am the type to go to maccas and order a meal with a diet coke. I just like it, it is one thing he has to live with despite how much it irritates him.

So maybe I shouldn’t write blog posts of an afternoon when my caffeine levels are low. But hey, I was going to write this blog post all day.

So this afternoon, I decided I need to get more pics on this blog. I have carried these images to work and back with me and never had a chance to blog until now.

This is Scarlett. Scarlett is 12 months old !! She has turned the big milestone into toddlerhood. She is super cute, super adorable, super photogenic and loved very very much. Just check out how adorable she is. All things sugar and spice ….

It is the last month of winter which means the last month of year that we have our “down time”.

Before the wedding season hits, (and it is going to be with a full forced punch this year), we are running a major, massive, superĀ ginormous (like my word of the day?) special.

We have never run a special like this and it won’t happen again for a loooong time.

Have your family or baby photos taken between the 16th - 31st August and you can receive our high res disk only special with your files for only $200.

All photo shoots taken with this special will have the disk included and there is no obligation to buy anything else. Our files are full high res files that we send for printing and you have the rights to print them at home or a local processing centre.

A perfect time to have your photos done now so you have gifts for Fathers Day, be super organised with Christmas presents or just to update the album and walls.

This is strictly for the month of August and will not be extended. So call the studio on 65515080 or email info@imprintimaging.com.au to make your booking.
