Even though little Xavier was under 2 weeks old for his session, he didn’t seem to know he was a newborn! Look at him holding his head up on his mums shoulder!
I’ve got tears running down my cheeks as I look at these. They are so beautiful.
I’m sitting here watching my now 13 week old unwrap himself and play with his hands in his cradle instead of sleep. He is so big he needs to be moved to his cot but I still see him as my little newborn.
The photo shoot was challenging for me. As a new mum I was still recovering from the birth and felt nowhere where ‘normal’, let alone presentable for a camera. I was tired, my baby didn’t sleep and our house is in the middle of renovations. I didn’t know how other mums managed to look so glamorous for the newborn shots, and I kept worrying that our bed linen wasn’t nice enough!
But you and Pete came and again, took your time with us. You were both respectful and patient as we worked with baby and looking back, I am remembering this as a very special time. Thank you for capturing it for us.
Pete & I recently spent a fun afternoon taking pictures of young Will & his lovely mother & Grandmother. His mum Lisa was convinced Will must have been our most challenging client to photograph yet, simply because he didn’t stand still very much. He ran, he ran and he ran some more… generally in the...
So sweet LIsa, what an adorable little man. You are super talented and gorgeous.
Olivia
These are beautiful photos. Lisa is so photogenic and Will is just delightful. We have been looking forward to this post – wonderful memories.
Lisa
You have captured his essence in every way – this is the little tiger cub I see running daily. Every facial expression. Every smile. Thankyou for these very precious moments. We feel blessed to have spent that time with you.
Lisa Jay
Ale, Thank you. Coming from a photographer as talented & a lady as gorgeous as you, that is so lovely.
Olivia, Yes Lisa is a ridiculous amount of photogenic! I was worried that it would look like I had edited their faces (when I haven’t) because they just glow. I should have mentioned that the shoot was Lisa’s styling… she brought the apple, the trike, Wills cute clothes.
Lisa, You are so blessed with that little tiger cub!! I wonder how the tourists images of Will turned out 🙂
This is one of a few party themes I photographed for party stylist Bobbie from ‘Sweet Celebrations’, in Sydney recently. Bobbie is about to launch her party theme business, which will offer a range of things to buy & hire for themed children’s parties. The ‘sweet celebrations’ website is having the finishing touches added to it...

Never mind the kids – I’D have this for my birthday party!:)

Thank you for your comment Irina! I agree Emilia is a really beautiful girl (she takes after Bobbie). Emilia & her friends were just the sweetest three girls, doing anything to help out with the parties and photo’s on the day. x
The moss bunnies are adorable! Loving the mushroom pops, too.
Bobbie
Wow! I finally got my Internet back & could see the photos properly on my computer. They are amazing Lisa, thank you & Peter & the girls so much! I agree – all of the kids were amazing, they were so natural with the camera. I was a bit worried how they’ll take in all that “modeling”, but they were all so great (maybe except Nicholas, hehe).
[…] of her party themes for me to photograph…the ‘woodland party’ which I shared here on my blog and the ‘tea party’ & ‘pirate party’. I am sharing these ones now […]
Good Friday in Sydney. The skates are hand me downs from my generous friend whose daughter grew out of them before they were even used. Have you ever owned something that you put off using & by the time you decided to use it, it was too late? I think most parents, including myself can relate to being...
Olivia & I met in 1998 when we were both first year dance students at college. I was delighted when Olivia & Michael told us they were expecting their first baby & more so when they asked if we could organise a maternity photo session. Knowing a little bit about them, I knew right away...
I LOVE these! Not a huge fan of maternity shoots normally but this has totally done it for me! The couple looks so relaxed and beautiful:) such lovely photos x
What a gorgeous couple and such an exciting time for them. You have captured their magic as always lovely. Love the red door shots. You may have even inspires me to attack my front door with a bucket of paint. xxx

The lovely Stav Hatchett, owner of the store My Messy Room in Sydney’s Summer Hill is working on a new website and a few other changes for her store. I am working with her on some photographic images for the site. My Messy Room is such a special place. I adore it! It is not just...
I’m blown away by your beautiful post of words and pictures.
Thank you so much for the visual images i can now use on my website and blog. You were so awesome that day, i was full of beans wanting to get a million and one things done and you took it all in your stride. patiently.
I’m so happy too that you understood the love that i feel for creating a community. That has always been my aim, to have a shop where customers can actually stop. stop and talk and look and enjoy the small rituals again.
I LOVE the images so far and cant wait to see more.
I’ve got tears running down my cheeks as I look at these. They are so beautiful.
