This is Skii. She is a mum-in-waiting. Skii’s partner is Jake. He is also a dad-in-waiting. Skii is due to have their first baby very soon, hopefully very very soon :-) . She has allowed me to share her journey with you. From belly to an active one year old, I am going to document and share with you their baby. I am incredibly excited about everything that lies ahead. I am even more excited that I can show you just what I see, the beauty of life.

After each photo shoot I am going to share with you Skii’s experience. I hope you enjoy our journey. You will be able to see how her little bub grows from now. From belly, birth, newborn and all the first year you are going to be able to share in this little bundles life. I hope you are just as excited !!

An interview with Skii:

1. How many weeks were you had your photos taken?
36 weeks
2. What has your pregnancy been like?
I have been blessed with a very smooth pregnancy, very little morning sickness and no dramas as of yet (touch wood).
the whole 9 months has gone way too fast.
3. Do you know what sex the baby is or do you have a feeling?
We both decided we would like it to be a surprise so we didn’t find out.
However we do have a little feeling it may be a girl, we will find out soon enough I guess.
4.. What made you decide to have belly shots done?
I have always admired the work Nikki and Jason have done and why not have such an important and exciting time in ours lives documented so beautifully?
5. Was Jake excited about being photographed?
Of course, he definately doesn’t shy away from the camera!
and he really wanted to be a part of the shoot.
6. What sort of photos did you have in mind that you wanted? Did you want a particular style?
I mainly wanted something that would capture us at this stage in our lives and for it to be very natural.
I trusted Nikki’s ideas for the photo shoot and she didn’t let me down, they are perfect.
7. How did you find your photo shoot? What was the best part?
The photo shoot was great! Nikki and Jason made us both feel really comfortable. The location photo’s were awesome although the photos taken in the studio were amusing thanks to jakes cheeky sense of humour.
8. Now you have seen the finished product, what did you think?
They far exceeded our expectations. Cant wait to show our families.
9. Do you have a favourite shot?
I have many favourites but my particular favourite is the ones on the rug.
10. Do you recommend others to have pregnancy photos?
Definately, That 9 months goes way too fast and to have something to look back on in years to come is so worth it. No self taken “bump” shot will ever compare!
11. How long have you got to go?
1 week and 2 days, not that im counting!  =P
12. Have you got any advice to other mums to be?
Don’t focus so much on all the “not-so-nice”parts of pregnancy, instead enjoy all the good things it brings it will be all over before you know it.

Thankyou so much for sharing your pregnancy with us Skii. I cannot wait to be a part of his arrival into the world. xo

Today I witnessed the arrival of a new life. At 5.22pm a little girl entered the world and I was privileged enough to capture it. As I say every time, I LOVE birth photography. It is not for everyone. Some people cringe when I tell them what I do. For those who are open to the idea and want the emotion, the intimacy and the love captured, it is something they treasure forever. Everyone has told me they are so glad that I was there and I love every mother who has brought a bub into the world and allowed me to be a part. It is one of the most amazing things I will ever do.

Meet Siennah Kate. She was one girl who is very alert and very content. I barely heard a peep from her the whole time and the little noises she made melted my heart. Thankyou Mum and Dad for allowing me to be a part of your little girls arrival. I never admitted it to you, but I shed a few tears hiding behind the camera when you first saw her.

Back to blogging a couple at a time. Blogging backlog but working on rectifying that once again.

First up we have a gorgeous maternity shoot. Amanda is due very soon. It could actually be any day !!!

She came in to have some pregnancy shots taken as she didn’t do that for her first pregnancy. It is really something all pregnant women should have done as you do regret it down the track. I think every woman misses those movements, hiccups and rolling that bub does in your belly. Pure magic ! Amanda wanted to bring Molly into the photo shoot to get some beautiful toddler and belly images. Sometimes a challenging task but we got it all so easily. Molly was perfect !!

Can’t wait to meet the new addition …

Second tonight is the adorable Lily. She has just turned the big 5.  She has massive personality and is such a social butterfly!  The pictures really speak for themselves. You will understand just how wacky and fun loving she is. Pure gold !

This was an extra special shoot.

Rach did her traineeship with us five years ago. I cannot believe time has gone that fast !

It is always amazing when you get the right staff mix. Rach is one of those people who holds a special place in our hearts and was absolutely perfect. She knew me so well, knew what I wanted without having to say anything and we even had numerous non-work social events.

It is great to see her so happily married and now expecting her first bub. Even though she is in Brisbane, she always makes a point of catching up when she is home and this time we had an extra special catch up with a photo shoot.

How good does she look. Pregnancy totally agrees with her. Thanks for catching up Rach and spending the time at the studio. I had a great time and you were so natural. I cannot wait to meet your little girl. If only we lived closer !! xo

Well I told you I would make it up for missing yesterday and blogging twice today. I have just posted a special birth (see post below) and now for a sneak peek.

These are three shoots I am currently processing. In case clients are regularly checking in, I do have many others to edit as well, these are just the next three in the queue. Meet Krystle, Samuel and Scarlett.

Krystle is such a fun chick. She always has a massive smile and is ready to have a great time. I thoroughly enjoyed the session with Krystle and her bubba to be …
