100 years ~ANZAC

 

Every now and again I get some really cool ideas that keep me up at night, I decided I wanted to take a photo to celebrate 100 years of ANZAC.    I wanted to try and get a special photo with a defence baby and incorporate the 100 years theme some how and also poppies.  I had to keep it gender neutral.  So many nights later, laying their thinking about what I wanted I decided! Then there was the mad rush around to find 100 poppies! Turns out you can get them off eBay- phew!

I had a few defence families who had recently had their maternity sessions so I just played the waiting game on who would have their bubs around ANZAC Day 🙂   As luck had it Zachary decided to make ANZAC day the day of his birth! Luckily nice and early before dad went off to dawn service and the city march!

I’m very happy with how it turned out, even if the flowers didn’t arrive in time! (That’s what photoshop is for 🙂 )

Big thanks to his mum for letting me borrow him for this photo

Maternity ~ Mount Barker Studio

Its always exciting meeting couples who are about to start a new journey together! These two parents-to-be were no exception!

How wonderful is it- that in years to come these guys can show their new baby how much she was loved before she even entered the world! 🙂

A little angle !

Just before Christmas I was contacted for a gift voucher for this beautiful family! What an awesome Christmas gift!

We held the session back in March.   Little Ciara was born early so she was a bit older than a typical newborn session- but she rocked it! She also was the first to use my new scale prop! Ciara was a new sister for Aoife who is equally as beautiful as her little sister!

This year I was planning on holding Mothers day mini sessions! Due to a lot of factors I have unfortunately had to cancel them.

~

You may have noticed, a lot of photographers offer “Mothers Day mini sessions” . This is because, mums are never in front of the camera with their kids as much as they should be. We, (I’m guilty of this too) are always the one taking the photo, or we use excuses, as to why we don’t want to be in front of the camera.. “When I lose some weight”, “My hair is messy”,” I look horrible” etc. Trust me in 5, 10 and even 20 years when your kids look back, they won’t care – they will just love seeing photos of you!

Mums – make sure you get in those photos, do it for yourself and your children!

So what’s better than Mothers Day mini sessions?? .. A Mothers Day give away! Interested?? Keep reading!

Beautiful Maddison ~ Adelaide Hills Newborn Photography

A while back I was contacted by Cass, an old Whyalla friend (Maddison’s auntie) for a gift voucher for Kristy and Chris! I happily sent it off and waited for Kristy to contact me with baby news! I was excited to have these guys in the studio and meet their new baby!

Being addicted to props like I am, I always seem to have something new I want to try so when Kristy said she loved the colour green I was so happy to try out the new fluff I had bought a while back but was yet to use!

And being so close to Easter we had to sneak in a Easter themed set up too!
