It is so easy to do your job when you walk into a room that is relaxed and well organised, Ashlee had every thing in hand so while Kristy-Lee (owner of Krisilize Hair ) was finishing the hair it gave me a chance to use the natural light to get some great detail shots.
Ashlee and David chose Cassegrains for the ceremony, which is another one of my favourites. The formal garden and the cellar are visually very dynamic places to shoot. It’s great to see how much the place changes. Every time I go there seem to be a new place to shoot.

The ceremony was lovely as they shared the start of their married life together with daughter Eady.
Due to some bad weather (which I love, make great photos, don’t be afraid of it) we sped up our plans, and did beach and town green photos quickly in very low light. Back to the roof top at the Mercure Centro and had fun with a great band “Mum says Rock” see you at the next wedding guys.
I hope I haven’t been too boring to read, I’m the technical guy, the one Nik turns to when she has an idea like “lets have a blog on our website…. make that happen.” yes dear. She is usually the blog writer, a great photographer and I love her heaps.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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 ….
