A Beautiful Family and their Angel!

I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family yesterday afternoon.  Amanda (Mum) is part of the executive committee for Bears of Hope, where she works tirelessly to support families who have lost a child through miscarriage or still birth. 

As you can see from the images below although she and her husband have suffered a loss, they have also been blessed with two gorgeous sons and a beautiful daughter.

The kids were so good together and so easy to work with - I like to think we all had fun.

Bears of Hope will be having their annual ball on Saturday 24th September, if you would like to go please act quickly as tickets are selling fast.  Visit http://www.bearsofhope.org.au/

The Boys, The Bride, The Couple, The Family!

Last week I had the privilege of being part of a truly beautiful union.  Melissa & Jim came over from the States to tie the knot on the fabulous Sydney Harbour! 

Jim & Melissa were joined by Melissa's boys, so not only was this the bringing together of a wonderful couple, but the union of a family.  Here are a few shots from their great day.  Let's start with the boys!

Melissa just oozed with happiness, love and gorgeousness - the bride!

They make such a fabulous couple!

And an even more remarkable family!

Thank you for a fun afternoon cruising around Sydney Harbour (tough job, but someone has to do it).  I look forward to catching up with you this week to relive the moment through your photos.  Enjoy the rest of your vacation.


The wedding ceremony was officiated by the wonderful Sarah from Your Occasion Celebrant www.youroccasion.com.au

We cruised around the harbour on Aquabay 70 from Aquabay Charters www.aquabaycharters.com.au  These guys were fabulous.

Melissa and Jim had a beautiful suite at the Four Seasons Hotel www.fourseasons.com/sydney/

Celebrating Haven

I had the joy of photographing a great couple who despite their recent loss still manage to keep smiling, even if sometimes it is through tears.

Their gorgeous little girl, Haven was with them for a short 47 hours, but will be looking over them forever now.

Hayley, Shane and Haven are another of my Bears of Hope families it was an honour to take their photos and hear their story.

I am looking forward to seeing them and the other Bears of Hope families at their annual Charity Ball on 24th September.  If you are interested in coming along and supporting a great cause please visit their website http://www.bearsofhope.org.au/ for more information.

An Amazing Bears of Hope Family

I had the privilege and fun of photographing another amazing Bears of Hope family a few weeks ago.  (Yes, they have been very patient waiting for their blog post, the gallery will be up today also). 

Adrian and Kylie experienced the still birth of their daughter Sophie on 14th December 2008 and since then have been supporting Bears of Hope organisation.  To read more about their fantastic work and Sophie's legacy please click here http://www.bearsofhope.org.au/a/195.html . 


Bears Of Hope offers support and guidance for parents who experience the loss of their baby during pregnancy, birth or infancy. http://www.bearsofhope.org.au/

A Garden Full of Princesses and one Handsome Prince

These girls were just a delight to photograph and they seemed to love my magic garden as much as I do.  It is photo shoots like these that make me glad it is the parents job to pick the images they invest in, rather than me.

They loved having tea parties.  Who doesn't enjoy a good cup of tea?

And here is our Prince with all his beautful princesses, what a lucky man.

Hope you enjoyed your preview, there a many more to come on your gallery which should be up soon.

Happy Friday, hope you are enjoying a nice wine or two.

And they said he wouldn't smile

Mum and Dad didn't think I would get a smile out of him, but obviously their bribery paid off.  Who could resist that grin.

Of course you can't be good all the time!

And his sister was a super model, we couldn't stop her from smiling....

And laughing!

Of course these talents come from their parents, who don't take a bad picture either!

Enjoy the sneak peek.  I look forward to getting the rest of your gallery up soon!

Happy Wednesday!

First of the Mother Day Session Sneak Peaks

I had a ball last weekend doing our Mother's Day Mini Sessions.  It was a great opportunity to see some faces from the past and meet some new ones. 

This first family, I had photographed about two years ago - they were gorgeous then and are just as beautiful now.

Master T is just has protective of his little sister as he was two years ago, even though she does rough him up every now and then.  I just love this series of images.

Mum and Dad bought their Mum's along - what a great idea for Mother's Day.

So they all snuggled on the rug for a group shot.

I just had to put in these last two, I couldn't resist. 

Wonderful kids like these two, just make me realise how lucky I am to do what I do.

Hope you enjoyed your sneak peak, there are many more to go on your gallery - should be ready soon.

Happy Monday!
