cake smash

I love planning parties, so its no surprise when I book a cake smash I get a little excited.  I always talk with mum (and dad) about what their little one likes or what sort of theme they are having for the first birthday party.

For Henry’s session we incorporated his love of giggle and hoot!

I am lucky to be able to tell Samone from The best things in life are sweet the theme, then I trust her to make a cake that will suit!!  I LOVE how this one turned out!

renee-diaz-photographyAnother fun thing about cake smashes is you never know how they will go! Some kids just want to eat and wont look up, some love it and then get over it very quickly and some just don’t want a bar of it! But no matter how much they do or don’t love the cake, its still always so fun watching them !renee-diaz-photography_13renee-diaz-photography_15It was so funny, Henry wasn’t interested in the cake- he just wanted to play with the basket of shoes by the front door!renee-diaz-photography_31After the cake smash- we headed outside to get a few extra images !renee-diaz-photography_101renee-diaz-photography_108Thanks for letting me capture his first birthday guys!

Mount Barker Studio Maternity

Rachael and Charles were in the studio recently to capture some photos of their journey- before their newborn session next month!

I’m so glad when Mums to be decide to get maternity photos as I think its so important.

I always promise that in years to come your children will LOVE looking at these photos. Not only for them to see when they were inside you, but also to see how much love their was for them before they were even born!

Photos in Kuitpo forest

I was contacted earlier in the year by Vanessa asking if she could get a voucher for Jessica and her son Jamal!

So glad she did, as I absolutely loved this session at Kuitpo forest!

As most of my sessions are in the studio its nice to get outside , and what a perfect spot we choose! I love letting little ones explore!

I might have to do my own family session there next year!renee-diaz-photography-3renee-diaz-photography-5Such a beautiful and cheeky smile!renee-diaz-photography-11renee-diaz-photography-15Renee x

Falling in love

On Saturday the 26th of November Matthew and Alexis got married.

And while every wedding day has a few bumps (haha see what I did there!-inside joke!) through out the day, I can say as a guest and a photographer this one was such a beautiful day.

We were super lucky with the weather, being in November I was worried we might all melt away- but we got lucky and the day was just perfect.

The house the boys got ready in was just to die for! Located in Goolwa and only a 5 minute drive to the reception at Currency creek winery!

I photographed the boys while they got ready. And I have to say, they made it very easy to get some great photos. Everyone was so relaxed.

I don’t photograph a lot of weddings, but every time I do I wish I done more of them !  So I thought I would put together a few photos from the day.
