Finally received my copy of Little One Design & Style annual issue in todays post – could have almost hugged my postie!! You may still not find it in until later this week in newsagents – I actually dragged the kids to 5 different ones over the weekend with no luck!lol
Such a gorgeous publication and I am super excited to be involved. Thank you also to Simone and little Jake who is pictured below and to the lovely ladies I met and photographed for this edition.
Seven week old Alfie had such a range of cute facial expressions – so cute just to watch him. At this age I can normally capture babies awake but before too long they are snoozing away …..
All of the newborns that I meet are so different with their little personality traits showing already at such a tender age. Little Baxter was just so gorgeous – so tiny, very sleepy and had the cutest little milk blisters. His mum also decorated the most amazing nursery which was so beautiful. I must admit I can get rather clucky after a newborn session – there is something so special about the first few weeks with your new baby – it brings back a flood of memories of my own boys. I really miss them being so little. This time passes by so quickly and mostly in a blur of feeding and coping with no sleep so it is lovely that I can produce some beautiful images for my clients to cherish. Baxter’s mum Leah received her session as a gift from a few close girlfirends – I love that this gift will be enjoyed for many generations…
{Leah and Pete – it was so lovely to meet you and your adorable little boy – Enjoy }
This session was so much FUN!! Meagan who is a personal stylist came over, styled my clothes, did my hair and make up and then off we went to the Abbotsford Convent for a photography session. For clients who don’t feel too comfortable in front of a camera I seriously feel your pain – I am hopeless when a camera is pointed in my direction, get all self conscious and start doing this horrible thing with my mouth! Just awful. BUT I am determined to push myself and if nothing else will eventually start to like it and hope to hell after all the shots we take one of them might be ok!! Towards the end I think I started to feel more comfortable but by that stage Meagan had me in a vintage dress that I am none too sure about showing the world quite yet!
On the other hand put me behind the camera and I am in my element – I normally photograph babies and children where I have to have loads of patience, a ton of silliness and take photos on the run. I enjoyed photographing Meagan as I could perfect the lighting, direct and be really creative while having fun – loved it! I think I may have found a new passion! We braved the freezing weather and had such a laugh !
I first met Megan last year when she came to me for some updated shots for her new website. I have also hired Meagan for a personal styling shopping trip – it was so fantastic – she taught me how to dress for my body type, colours that suit my skin tones and the skills to buy the right items when shopping. I now how the skills to go shopping with three boys in tow and still come away with everything I wanted in a very short time! Going shopping with Meagan is like shopping with your best girlfriend – she is warm, funny, and to be quite honest one of the loveliest people I have met in a while. She is also a dag at heart and does not take her self seriously as you can see. Once this girl gets going - she is seriously a cheeky diva for the camera! These photos are so her – love them
So if you stand at your wardrobe every morning thinking I have nothing to wear or go to the shops and come home with either nothing or bags of clothes that just do not go together I highly recommend contacting the lovely Meagan. You will have the best time with her and come away with not only some great clothes but some new found confidence. You can see her website at http://www.meaganharding.com.au/ or her blog at www.stylefarm.meaganharding.com.au/
Meet 12 month old Gisele – had lots of fun with her session and this was definitely a team effort with mum and dad helping to entertain and chase after her as she crawled away! Such a cutie - I think we had it all - serious expressions, striking a pose and lot’s of cheeky grins!
{Fiona – thanks for spending the morning with me – Gisele was such a good girl! Will be in touch once your gallery is completed}
