Took a drive out to Fitzroy Falls for a picnic with the children and some little friends during the holidays. It is such a risk weather wise out there as it is a climate all of it’s own.. But thankfully what we found was a beautiful sunny day.. Took the opportunity to take some photos of the children whilst we were there. Not sure what was more surprising the weather or that they co-operated.. LOL.. 

Some Hipstamatic fun on my iPhone at Easter time. We had a lovely BBQ in my friends garden. The kids both young and old enjoyed and Easter Egg Hunt and had delicious chocolate covered faces. Inga’s garden is just beautiful lots of flowers and lovely paths to follow. It was so nice to catch up with friends and watch all the children play.

Keep watching my blog as I have some exciting news to share with you soon.

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.

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.

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

Very soon I am going to be renouned as a photographer of trains. (o: I might need to add another section up the top, Babies/Children/Familes/Trains..  But I guess being a mother of three boys leaves me pretty much without hope that anything big and mechanical is not going to be a part of my life. Four against one leaves me outnumbered.. (o:  But who really could resist the beauty and charm of such an amazing machine as the Steam Train! The noise, the steam, the engineering.

On the weekend we were lucky enough to photograph the Triple Header 3526, 3642, 3830 Special Tour from Sydney to Moss Vale , we meet up with it at Loftus and followed it down the coast and up the pass to Robertson then on to Moss Vale. 

 

And just because yes in my family you can never have too much steam we went to Thirlmere on Sunday for a look around the museum and a ride on 2705.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes in our day to day lives we forget to stop and see the beauty in our own backyards. I was at a conference in the city yesterday for photographers  and one speaker reminded us to look around our yard. I am so blessed to live on acerage so this morning my son and I went for a walk in our backyard.. I really do forget sometimes that this gorgeous location to shoot is just within reach.

I have decided I am going to run a special for mini sessions in my backyard. Keep your eye out for this amazing opportunity coming soon.
