Meet Francie, a gorgeous little treasure I was lucky enough to photograph with Gemma from Iris Creations Photography this week.

A friend and fellow photographer Fo Carson from Bec + Fo in Brisbane put out an sos call to us when she knew that a Melbourne trip wasnt possible to capture Francie’s newborness herself.

I love this part of my job… knowing that you’ve been able to capture a moment in time that will be loved forever…

Remember Nat one of my Mumma-2b’s?  Make sure you have a look back when we photographed her growing belly from 12weeks…. 18weeks…..26weeks….. this one is a favourite… Nat’s gorgeous baby shower & her final belly session spread over three different posts, here, here & while we were waiting for his arrival here


Well the lil fella weighing over 9pounds finally arrived almost two weeks late, and after the longest labour ever, Nat your a champion!
Welcome to the world Mstr Callan… looking forward to many more cuddles & photoshoots to come!

Along with Gemma from Iris Creations, close friend & newborn photographer extraordinaire we photographed Callan on Saturday, just 9 days old…

Nat & her husband Kevin met in Paris on the Eiffel Tower, so it was only natural for us to photograph their first born beside a replica, wearing a beret Gemma had knitted especially :)

There will be a few family members worldwide checking up on their new Grandson & Nephew, to you all a big Congratulations! Enjoy your preview, & make sure your check out Gemma’s aswell…

Here’s my favourites from Saturday

26weeks pregnant, this little belly has featured a couple of times already on this blog at 12 weeks and 18weeks with busy lives & holidays the 4 week update hasn’t worked out as planned but still fun to see her belly grow…

So many fun ideas for this shoot, and more to come for the next :)

10-1-10 Mail  -the furry babies got mail today, from their awesome vet Rhonda in the village… Looks like its jab season again! Family trip to the vet is in order with the 2 dogs and a cat… Mind you much easier than the 8 pups we had last time we scheduled a visit :)

11-1-10 Hot    - Yup that says 51 out and 32 in… and as I type (11:28pm) its 36 out and 34 in… The furry babies have all had a quick cold water rinse, much to their initial dismay… they seemed to understand eventually… maybe next summer we’ll have airconditioning…

12-1-10 Washer - Not many days you get spoilt for photo moments, but today I had a hard choice between Ash playing guitar, Atticus mooching with Bec and Scarlett washing dishes! Scarlett won today, she is 3 and started crying when we told her she had to stop washing and eat dinner… So excited that some of my fav little people have come to stay for a few days :) love it…
13-1-10 Science – An excursion to the scienceworks, loved the old wood and metal of the pumping station
14-1-10 Rad – Our 19kg box arrived today from Denmark, leftover luggage from our honeymoon! Mostly clothes that I bought for all our favourite little people… Including this awesome sleeveless hoodie… European clothing ROCKS!
15-1-10 Left – my lil people left today for home… we still have the chalk reminants on the front doorstep.. I think i’ll leave them…
16-1-10 Picnic – father & son… picnicking in the park with friends, little Oscar had a ball making new friends
17-1-10 Ketchup – Danish hotdog ketchup arrived in our 19kg box last week, so Husband and I had hotdogs tonight, put together just like those from the wagons around Copenhagen yum! sooo many memories :)
18-1-10 Husband – I don’t encourage him to smoke, but I did buy him the lighter… He is my forever
19-1-10 Worms – Husband bought me this bookmark for Christmas, cant get enough of books at the moment…

24-1-10 Light – Random email from Husband today while I was at work, “Im going to rewire the house today, any requests?” … Made me laugh, he sounded no different to asking if I wanted something from the supermarket! Came home from work and he’s put up some downlights in our living/hallway and new office :) … Have I mentioned how much my Husband rocks? btw he is a licensed Electrician
25-1-10 Hooked – Finished book 5 tonight, 2books in 10days… Sookie Stackhouse Im hooked..
26-1-10 Up – Was a pretty quiet Aussie Day today.. Gemma, Garrison, Bec & the boys joined us for a bbq.. Lanie rocked up just in time to watch & “UP” :) the boys fav… Eman thought it was neat to have Husband join him on the floor, and covered him with a blanket consisting of Dad’s shirt and Mum’s shoes… cute :)
27-1-10 Ignore – Checked the mail to recieve a 30% off full rolls of fabric ad… Ignore Ignore Ignore… yes I have ideas in mind… NO now is the wrong timing.. ignore..




Happy Australia Day! We have great weather here in Melbourne and are spending the day at home with the BBQ and some great friends.

But nothing beats a picnic! A couple of weeks ago we met some friends in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens down by the Lily pond. The location was gorgeous, so green and lush, such great inspiration for photos and a grand idea which we’re going to launch soon! So stay tuned…
