On Sunday I was lucky enough to meet Neil and his family for my first ACOCP session. Neil is a 2yr old boy diagnosed with a rare respiratory disease, he is currently permanently ventilated in order for him to breath.

What a pleasure it was to photograph Neil and his family. Neil was such a little doll and I was very flattered when his father commented that he has never seen Neil smile as much as he did when I talked to him. Thank You for allowing me to capture these images for you. I hope you enjoy this slide show as much as I enjoyed making it for you.

The Australian Community of Child Photographers  is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses. The ACOCP is dedicated to providing this gift to families in a caring, compassionate and heartfelt manner.

I had the priviledge of photographing another wedding on Saturday. Danielle and Carl got married in Danielle’s parents garden. Such a beautiful intimate ceremony with a gorgeous bride who looked like she stepped out of a Pride and Predujice novel, a hansome groom and an adorable ringbearer.  

Thank you Danielle and Carl for allowing me the honour of photographing your special day.

What an amazing inspiring family I had the pleasure of photographing on Wednesday. Their Poppy is currently bed ridden suffering from cancer and the family property has to be sold. Such a gorgeous local property and in a beautiful position. There is lots of treasured memories on the property and I was asked to do a session so they have photographs to remember the good times. Thank you Na for allowing me the priviledge of spending time with your three beautiful children under your favourite oak tree. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

 We are told that in Persia the tulip, whose blossom in its native country is scarlet, while the centre of its glowing cup is black, is used to express warm affection; and, when sent by a lover, will convey to the object of his attachment the idea that like this flower, his face is warm and his heart is consumed as a coal.
~ Anne Pratt, The Field, the Garden and the Woodland, 1838

   

Oh what beautiful weather we have been having lately (note not a hint of sarcasm at all). I actually don’t mind the cold weather but I was not happy when the wind interferred with my session this afternoon. I was so looking foward to photographing three beautiful children on a property at Burrawang but because of the wind and cold and rain we had to postpone. I still need a photography fix so I took my beautiful boy and his favourite chair outside for a little session. He is so beautiful but not the easiest of models let me tell you. Sitting is not his best forte..   (0:

I can’t begin to explain the joy that came from spending the afternoon with this adorable loving family. You could not help but feel the love and happiness that flowed from this family, it was so infections. Thank you for allowing me to share a part of your lives on this chilly afternoon I felt truly blessed.

How proud can a mother be when her 9yr old son comes home from school declaring that after all his hard work he has finally recieved his pen license? My son was beaming from ear to ear yesterday when he was awarded his license in class. His handwriting has improved in leaps and bounds over the past few months as he has been busting to get this license and yesterday his goal was finally achieved. We are so proud of you sweetheart. Congratulations. xo

Spring certainly feels like it has come upon us early this year. But luckily for Nicole and Craig the weather is glorious and it was a perfect day for a Wedding. I was lucky enough to join one of my amazing photographer friends to photograph this wedding on Saturday. It was the first wedding I have photographed in a long time. I certainly enjoyed the thrill and excitment of the day.  Thank you Angie for allowing me the honour of photographing Nicole and Craigs Wedding with you. Here are just of the photos I took on the day.

 

I have so many more photos of this gorgeous couple it is hard to choose which ones to share.

 I would like to wish Nicole and Craig all the best for a beautiful life together.
