Back to blogging. There has been a delay in blogging as we have all had the nasty winter germs that are going around. I feel for anyone who has the flu or related illnesses, they are nasty ones this year !

What a gorgeous post to start back with. Miss Tully and her Mum and Dad.

Brooke & Dion saw me when Tully was a tiny 6 week old, and now she has turned the big 1 it is now time to update the album. They are such a gorgeous family. With Tully’s outgoing personality, the shoot was a breeze. That huge grin she loves to give just makes every smile, way to easy !!!

Amanda & Robbie saw their photos today and this is the beautiful message I received this afternoon:

“We just love the photo’s, you guys do a fantastic job, and we are so happy to have you both be apart of our wedding day.”

I just love to hear how happy our clients are with their images. We always strive to exceed expectation and it is great to hear feedback. We met Amanda and Robbie in Newcastle on the weekend after we saw Lori & Rhys. We have the honour of photographing Amanda & Robbies wedding later this year and I am eagerly looking forward to their day.

We photographed Amanda’s sisters wedding a little while back and since Amanda & Robbie have added little Brodie to their family. Brodie is the biggest charmer!! He was posing and hamming it up to the camera like you wouldn’t believe.  He is mega handsome and I can just imagine how unbelievably gorgeous he will be in a suit for the wedding. I think I know who may steal the show !!

As the kids grow time gets away. Things like sport, school, work and life take over and people forget that they don’t update their photos nearly as much as they did when the kids were little. Usually the year is documented via a school photo and the rest are snapshots.

I love photographing older children. It is a completely different shoot. You can plan a little more for the final outcome. While still keeping them natural and fresh you can plan to include more of their personalities and create the environment to suit.

I loved photographing these two girls. They giggled their way through the whole shoot and I had a great time.

We had two family portrait xmas special days. One was supposed to be a country setting, the other was a beach day. Luckily the sun was good to us for the beach photos.

One of the families who joined me was the Stone family. I have photographed these kids at preschool or at the studio as individuals but it was about time that we got the whole family together. They live and breathe the beach so it was right in the kids comfort zone. Mum and Dad were also easy going as far as the wet clothes went, so the kids had the freedom to have fun and be themselves.

All round success !!

It has hit big time. The amount of work is much larger than I can get through in my normal deadlines. Every Christmas it happens, when you get into a frenzy with work although this is different.

Since we moved my photo shoots have tripled. I never expected such a massive response to the new studio and style. I am so overwhelmed, so happy that everyone loves the work I strive so hard to produce. I am a bit of a control freak. I stress myself out to obtain the best. Sometimes I stress for no reason but I always want to produce images that are better. What I consider to be the best I still don’t know, I just know that I want to learn more and more. I feel that if someone stops wanting to be better they don’t grow and change.

I also love my husband immensely. He was the one who planned the new studio. He was the one who set his mind on the house even though it was not for sale. He was the one who said, “You can run over and ask if they want to sell”. Yep, I felt like a goose but look at where we are. He was right all along. I am so glad he pushed me into running across that road.

So if you are still reading this, things are insane at the moment. I am shooting incredible volumes of people which means at night I am editing. I am behind in showing people their photos. I am about a week behind but rest assured they are coming. Everyone is so wonderful in understanding just how busy we are and I thank each and every one and I love you all for your support.

I am going to blog a couple at a time for a while as there is a list. Everyone will make it on to the blog, so keep watching out and you will appear. Today, I have a family that travelled up from Sydney. I am so honoured and blown away that I have had so many Newcastle and Sydney clients lately. Ainsley is expecting another bub soon and I am so excited to meet him/her !!
