Sonya & Alex

Meet Sonya, Alex and a delicious bump who is now a baby sister! These two met me at the park for a mini session so we could capture some beautiful moments before one little man became a big brother! We all know how quickly time flies and those beautiful bellies are never full for long are they!

Damian

Well yes, I do indeed know some very beautiful people! You may remember these two wonderful humans from their maternity shoot I did >here<. Now their bump is a baby and you get to meet their gorgeous little man Damian and take a look at their first family photos that I was lucky enough to take on my recent trip back to New Zealand. I am just loving photographing these beautiful little babies, their shoots are always exciting with a dash of poop and pee :)

Little Neeve

I did Courtney and Cody's maternity photos not long ago and look who was hiding in that gorgeous belly! Little Neeve is beyond precious and this lovely team of two are absolutely smitten :) I am so lucky I have met this family and have been able to photograph part of their journey so far, I am so looking forward to watching Neeve grow :)

Lexie's Lovely Family

Little Lexie melts my heart a little every time I look at her face and delicious baby squish! I absolutely loved photographing this gorgeous family, I honestly didn't want to stop! All these cute teeny people I meet (and their lovely parents of course) just make this job so wonderful :)

A & Z Family Maternity

 I had such a great time photographing this beautiful family - doggie and all. Alberto & Zip will be welcoming their newest edition very soon and I can not wait to meet this little December surprise who is going to have the coolest sisters!

This Family of Four

Meet the gorgeous Ginnivans, A lovely family of four! These guys teamed with golden sunshine, dandelion blowing, piggy back rides, flowers, and a little loving made for a wonderful shoot! 

I LOVE photographing families, I really think it is so important to document! We grow and change far too quickly not to! Just the other day I came to the scary realisation that my Charli will be 16 in no time at all... that is pretty jolly scary considering she isn't even two!

Now, I do tend to do a little rolling around on the ground and chasing children in my shoots but little Mia was so sweet and would stop everything to come and brush the grass and leaves off me... needless to say, these adorable little sisters were so amazingly cute, they made me want more babies! 

You. Sarah

Sarah was the first of what I am calling my ' You.' Sessions. You can check out the gallery >here.
 I think it is safe to say we both loved it!  These sessions are something very important to me. So many of us have fallen out of love with ourselves. We are so preoccupied with life, constantly bombarded with what is and isn't beautiful and for some reason our flaws get a lot more air time than our qualities. We say things to ourselves we would never dream of saying or thinking about any one else, and why do we it!? It's a bit bloody mean really!  We simply, do not give ourselves the love and respect we deserve, and we absolutely need to. YOU are beautiful. YOU are loved, just as you are and YOU really need to know that! Embrace the unique and incomparable beauty that is you, right now. You get one body, one lifetime, and one you. You may as well enjoy it, love yourself, and stick it to any one that tells you otherwise.  You need no 'reason' for a portrait session other than celebrating beautiful, amazing, wonderful YOU!
