I knew right from the first email these guys would be alot of fun, especially when Tracy wrote on their questionare that Mark was the typical leo and can talk and chat to anyone, it makes it easier for me when my clients will just yak away with me I mean we do spend the wholeeeeeee day together so it could get quite boring if there was no conversation lol. We had plenty of time to yak away today whilst miss Grace was being a fuss pot for the first half of the session although we did discover we have alot in common and eventually Grace drifted off into a nice sleep, it was really hard for me to choose which images to blog there are so many I love but the one of her with the huge smile on her face in her daddy’s hands just makes me smile too, esp seeing as all day she would do it as soon as I would put my camera down little ratbag but this one was worth the wait! Thanks for a fun day Tracy and Mark and thanks for sharing your wee princess with me, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Meet Grace on day 12
This first one is for Grandma pink and more pink!






At 9 weeks old Lola is alot older than most of the newborns I photograph and boy was she cheeky but I knew eventually she would succumb to sleep and drift off it would just take a little paitence. Even though the older babies are a real challange I often find it more rewarding when I have to really work it to get the shots and at the end of the day when I sit down to load them onto the computer and I have these gorgeous images staring back at me it maks it all worth the time and effort it takes.
I must also say the super cute hat lola is wearing is from Clothes Lime Boutique they are an awesome recycled designer kids clothing boutique and have some beautiful pre loved designer clothing at prices that won’t cost the earth I can’t reccmomend Lime enough, pop over and like them on facebook for all the first peeks at the new stock and goings on from the Lime girls.
Thanks for bringing Lola to me today Tash, she was the sweetest little monster and it was so hard for me to choose the images for your sneak peek there are so many beautiful shots. Enjoy your holiday next week soak up some sun for me! I hope you enjoy these !
Meet 9 week old Lola





Our 3 year old Nephew Noah loves to come over our house to play, more often than not when they come for a visit he locks himself in the cubby house and refuses to go home so he ends up staying until after dinner lol. I try and get Noah in the studio each time he is here as he won’t usually stay still for long, today however he was quite happy to muck around in there so I took full advantage of it and I did promise him some of his most favorite treats that he has every time he comes to see ” Sultana Brandie ” ( love my nickname haha ) he always go to the cupboard grabs the container and says ” I Loooooooooooove Rainbows ” ! ( Fruitloops ), such a funny kid we always have a ball with him here.

A few weeks ago I came across these gorgeous handmade felt pictures made by Ria from Maisie Moo , as soon as I saw them I knew I had to get some made up for the girls and us. You can tell just by speaking to Ria through email she just adores making these little creations and each one is definately hand made with loads of love. Our pictures arrived a few days ago and OMG they are GORGEOUS! There is so much time and detail that goes into making each one as amazing as they are. Go and check Ria’s other creations out and even buy one for yourself, you won’t be dissapointed they are beautiful!
Again Ria I thankyou so so much for these beautiful creations, everytime I see them they make me smile xx









I have been lucky enough to photograph Logan 3 times over the past year and each time it amazes me just how much he has grown. He is only days alway from walking now and he is growing into such a gorgeous little boy. We did Logans cake smash last month so the photos could be used on his invitations, he looked like a mini avatar by the time he was done with his cake I think its safe to say he loved it! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous boy with me over the past year Lauren and Adam, it has been a real pleasure and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Meet Logan now 1 year old!
Logan at 7 days old.








At 15 weeks old I expected to have a little bit of a fight with Liam to get some sleepy shots, especially when mum and nan said he didn’t like to be moved once asleep. It took me about half an hour to gently pat him of to sleep and I ever so slowly posed him into position, I didn’t expect to be able to move him again but he proved us all wrong and let me move him 4 times! Such a gorgeous little boy and i’m sure he thought we were all funny doing crazy things to get him to smile when he was awake, and he was quite proud that he managed to pee on the wall even though he was covered with a blanket LOL. Thanks for a fun morning Carla, Liam is such a cutie I hope you like your sneak peek and I will be in touch with you soon with your gallery.
Meet 15 week old Liam





Sweet sweet Adalyn such a tiny gorgeous little thing but boy does she had a good set of lungs lol ! At 12 days old she still had her days and nights mixed up, however I think she chose today to switch them back again! She was a tough little cracker but with enough persistance I managed to get her into almost every pose including mums favorite. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous girl with me Shannon, I hope you had a great birthday today and hopefully Adalyn lets you have some sleep tonight! Enjoy your sneak peek.
Meet 12 day old Adalyn




Nothing makes me love my job even more than bringing someones dream photograph to life. When I photographed Cooper last month, Ange had told me there was one family photo she has wanted for a long time and as soon as she told me what it was I said ” That would look great in Panoramic”, just as I said that the exact same thing came out of Ange’s mouth so I knew this was going to look awsome. Ange had originally wanted it in B&W and on canvas, but i managed to talk her into going colour and Acrylic Facemount and she absolutely loves it!!
Acrylic Facemount is a new finish where the print is mounted on 4mm thick UV resistant Acrylic Glass. To say I am in love with this finish is an understatement, I can not recommend them enough to all my clients and have a few huge prints in the studio of my own, they are absolutely stunning and nothing even comes close to the look that they give.
Ange I am so so happy I could make this image a reality for you, and I am so glad you love the Acrylic FM as much as I do, It looks AMAZING up on your wall and I hope it brings you alot of happiness to see it there everyday xoxo
These photos just don’t do this finish justice at all you really need to see it in person to see just how stunningly beautiful it really is.


It never ceases to amaze me just how quickly these babies grow up. When I opened the door this morning to a gorgeous red haired, blue eyed, chunkalicious baby it was hard to believe it was the same 7lb peanut I had photographed just 6 months ago! When I first photographed Joel he was just 10 days old so tiny and placid he was the perfect baby, now 6 months on and what a cute little character he is! Beautiful big blue eyes, red hair and just the right amount of chunky goodnessand that thing he does with his feet… ahh so cute! He is such a happy little thing and just made me melt when I would pick him up and he would grab onto my arms tight and not want to let go, could have cuddled him all day long! Meika as always it is an absolute pleasure to you have you guys in the studio, I can not get over how much Joel has grown and I’m sure it will be the same in another 6 months. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek x0x0
Meet Joel now 6 months






It must be the week for sore belly’s because little Wesley had a bad tummy ache too today, it took him quite a will to feed, settle and fall off to sleep but luckily when we got him so sleep he was pretty sound and allowed me to pose him the way I wanted too and i’m so glad he did he was so adorable! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous boy with me Rach and Don, I hope his belly ache goes tonight so he ( and you! ) can get a good sleep! Enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch with your gallery soon.
Meet Wesley on day 20
