Newlywedded Bliss

I have been doing some shoots behind the scenes for a few months now. I have been waiting for my new website/blogsite to be completed. After many and varied setbacks, yup, I'm still waiting. I wanted to launch myself in a big way, with heaps of great shoots, especially the couple shoots, which have become part of my photographic journey. All couples who book a wedding with me have a little engagment shoot  before hand so that we can get to know each tother and build up a rapport before the day. I REALLY love this, I love, love love it and love dreaming up shoots that are made especially to go with the character and the likes of that particular couple. This could become my thing. 

The shoot below, I have been holding on to for a long time. This couple are not engaged but at the time were 3 wk old newlyweds, and ooooh, sooo in love. It was sooo lovely. I feel desperately awful for not getting this shoot out, but it is so special I just kindof wanted to keep as one of my launch blogs on my new site. As the time passes and this couple have had some changes in their life, I wanted to have a little bit of a sneek peek for them. It's only a teeny tiny sneek peek, oh so much more to come.... but here you go Ash and Katherine, hope this tides you over for a little bit longer. x

The Mason Family

Many moons ago I asked Mandy if she would pose for me when pregnant with her number one man, Aiden. She generously obliged and even got me back to do some shots of Aiden when he was born. Now they have a new little beauty to add to their family, little bright eyed Jess. Such a delicate and special little girl.

She was a little mischevious on the day of the shoot and just would not sleep for us so I did a return shoot at their home to see if we could get some sneaky sleepy shots of this little monkey. We decided not to disrupt her too much, just in case! What a serene little girl, and when awake...those big eyes. Think you've got a cheeky one on your hands there guys!!

It was a pleasure to see you again and see how much Aiden has grown, into not only, sure to be an amazing big brother, but possibly (with the face down the blog) an awesome rock star too!!
