Booking in your newborn session around your baby’s due date
Lots of planning goes into having a baby, but I’m sure you know, one thing you can’t always plan is exactly when you are going to meet your baby. So let’s talk booking in and due dates! Being that babies don’t generally arrive on their actual due date (Did you know less than 5% actually do?), I can see why one of my most asked enquiries is how to go about booking in a newborn session when you don’t know when your baby will arrive? We all know when preparing for a baby, it’s best to be organised, so applying the same principals to your session will make your experience… Keep Reading
EMBRACE THE MOMENT
The days fly by… The nights slowly become a little bit more sleep filled. The little fists that once would just barely curl around one of your fingers, now clenched as they run through the kindergarten gates. The little piece of you, once small enough to hold entirely within your arms, now carelessly shake themselves free from your hug as they jump into their first day of school. The once little feet that cautiously took their first steps while you hovered eagerly by their side, now taking leaps into college. The once little smile, where you used to keep an eye closely on for first teeth, now bigger than before,… Keep Reading
OUR FAMILY
I am stronger than I anticipated. I created life in this body of mine, and held the love of my life for the first 9 months of theirs. I was stretched out beyond measures and learnt to function on the littlest amount of sleep I had ever lived on, for months. I held you on my chest after the greatest pain I have ever experienced and smiled as I looked at the gentle rise and fall of your chest on mine. I woke up night after night to tended to your needs at all hours. I counted all your fingers and toes as you drifted to sleep and I thought… Keep Reading
YOUR JOURNEY
The beginning of this journey is different for everyone – no story is the same. For some it seems like a right of passage, others a natural progression in their happy relationship. For some people it is a surprise – a serendipity and others an absolute miracle. Regardless of how it all started there is one thing that remains the same; this child, the symbolism of love and the beginning of your family, is a loved, welcomed, blessing. The moment you meet is also different for each person. They will all tell it differently, but the general gist of the moment is all the same. As the new love of… Keep Reading
PERFECT TIMING
“Very few things happen at the right time and the rest do not happen at all.” – Herodotus It almost seems as if there is never a perfect time to begin a family, no matter how excited you may feel, there will always be concerns that make you wonder if you are really ready, however – anyone who longs to share their love with a child of their own, will soon find that there is nothing in the world that will ever be able to compare or replace that craving, that isn’t the beating heart and dancing feet within you.

100 DAYS LATER
One of the greatest things about being a photographer with repeat clients is getting to see the transformation from a tiny baby into a small human. From being bundled up in wraps and blankets, being cuddled with beanies and booties, to smiling and playing – sitting and laughing; glimpses into their own personality and peeks of traits from both parents. To see, the now much more experienced parents – a bit more well rested and comfortable with their now found roles, still just as proud of their little joy as the first time I met them. To bare witness to the learning family, happy and prideful – celebrating all their… Keep Reading
TO FINALLY MEET
“There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.” – Agatha Christie There is no other experience quite like the bond you create with your child, one that has grown before you have even met. Before they have ever been rested upon your chest, with eyes peeping open for only seconds at a time, and quietly introduce themselves – the moment you have been waiting for, for so long. In this moment the world around you both falls away as the first of the many lessons in life ahead begins. In this moment you learn that… Keep Reading
REFLECT
One of the most exciting things about being a parent is watching your children grow up. Reach milestones. Slowly become more and more of their own person each day. While it is so exciting to watch your child develop their own quirks and personality, it is also one of the scariest parts of being a parent. It happens right before your eyes and quicker than you even realise. It really is as if they take their first step with your arms just hovering by their side and their second step moving into their own home to begin a life of their own. As if one day they are clutching their… Keep Reading
