Something a little different tonight. I just came home from a jewellery party. It was such a lovely evening with good company, good food and great cake !

It was an Envy Jewellery party. Katrina Green is the local Envy consultant and she is the most down to earth, lovely person you will ever meet. I really enjoyed the way she made it a fun night and her knowledge of the products is amazing.

I took my camera and grabbed a few shots of some of my favourite pieces.

There were lots of gorgeous pieces to admire and I struggled with my order. I did order some extra special things for my little girl. I am sure that it is never to young to introduce girls to jewellery.

If you are interested in having an Envy party then give Katrina a call on 65500281 or 0432226321. If you would like to look through a catalogue or place an order then give the studio a call and I can arrange a time that is best for you to pop in and have a look at the new catalogue.

This is one special little arrival. This little princess has been born into a family of all boys. All the cousins are boys and there has been a lot of waiting and guessing as to who would have the first girl.

I was supposd to photograph Scarlett’s arrival. This little one had a very different agenda and decided to make an extremely quick entrance to the world that there wasn’t even time for a phone call ! These babies are all doing their own things lately.

She was a perfect angel for me when we did her newborn shoot. She slept brilliantly, let me put her into any position I wanted and posed brilliantly. The making of a model. I hope her Year in the Life Collection is as easy as this shoot.

It is so true that babies have their own time schedule and nothing is more true of this little man. I took belly shots of Mum only a couple of weeks ago and lucky we did as he decided to make a very grand arrival 4 weeks early!

We had arranged that I was going to photograph his arrival and when I got the phone call on Tuesday morning to say Krystles waters had broken, I was first shocked that he was coming so early, and then hoping he would take a little while to arrive so I could get better to get to the hospital in time as that was the day I was unable to move in bed. (What great timing !!!)

Well he did take his time to arrive. A whole 44 hours to arrive. Nothing like a quick arrival! I was in contact with regular updates of how Kryslte was labouring and we were guessing roughly when the action would really kick in. Unfortunately this little man had a different agenda and was very ontent of staying inside.

After a long labour, it was decided the best thing was a c-section as things weren’t going to plan. So we didn’t get to have our planned birth photos, but I did go up within the first 48 hours to take some adorable photos of this little guy. He is such a cutie !! He has gorgepus skin and eyes to die for. He is so alert and for a premmie bub is doing perfectly. He is in with his Mum feeding perfectly and being a perfect little boy.

A massive congrats Krystle and Josh. Welcome to the world little Liev. A gorgeous  2770 grams and 46cm long. We will be doing his newborn shoot as soon as Mum and bub are ready and I can’t wait !

The big One !  What an exciting time.

You never quite know what is going to happen when you have a one year old coming into the studio. You never know whether they are walking, how inquistive they are, whether they are clingy to Mum and Dad. One year olds are full of personality and tend to rule their own world. Good luck to anyone that tries to change what they have planned!

I was so lucky with this little man. He wasn’t walking and therefore was quite intent to sit and study what was going on. Such a easy shoot! When he got outside, the environment was much more exciing than the camera but that’s what I love. I love to see the kids interact with whatever takes their interest and then they give me all those super cute expressive faces.

Just a really quick post tonight as I know I missed last night. I have a really good excuse as we were hit with the bug that is going around. Those who have had it have agreed that they cannot remember ever being so sick and that is the exact way to describe it. It totally knocks you off your feet and you can’t move !

Anyway, for a better note, I did get to a preschool this morning. A massive thank you to the staff and parents for being so understanding that I couldn’t get there yesterday.

I had a good day today with gorgeous kids as always. After visiting the same preschool for so many years you get to form a relationship with families and especially the kids.

This one I have been photographing since he was born …

How cute is he !!!

So I am back. I will be back with a new post tomorrow. As always it takes a couple of days to get over illness so sorry for the short post, I promise more tomorrow. xo

I love to share photos of people who mean a lot to me. This is another fanily who have become very close to my heart.

Mya is a wonderful big sister. You can just see how proud she is of baby Ella. I love the sweetness in these photos.

Of course I have to reward the littlies the behave so well during their photo shoot. Mya doesn’t take long to learn and every time she has been in since, she gives me a hug and says “lol lol”. Who can resist a cutie like that !
