Mummy and Me – Studio Portrait
Mum and her son – Nicholas Anja came to us through National Family Portrait Month. One of our charity programs that we participate in every year. This year we were raising money for BeyondBlue. Little Nicholas was just 4 months old when they came in for their session. Still happy with tummy time but not yet sitting up. Anja had an arm work out to start with not just holding Nicholas but lifting him in the air for some big smiles. When then sat them on the couch and finished with a little cuddle. He was pretty tired by the end… it’s hard work being a model! This was…

Outdoor Newborn Portrait in North Lakes
Newborn portrait with Milly the Labrador When Samantha got in touch to book her newborn session, she really wanted something outdoors and to include their first child (so to speak) their Labrador Milly. We arranged a session for Lake Samsonvale nice and early in the morning with Grandma coming along to help with the dog during the session. On the morning of it was overcast, but no rain forecast, so I set off for the lake. As I arrived, it was pouring down! Worse than that, the council had closed the park (no idea why) and the big yellow barrier was across the entrance. I phoned Samantha and we…

Isla’s Newborn Portrait Session
North Lake Studio Newborn It was a beautiful session we had with Isla, Mum and Dad. She didn’t really want to go to sleep to start and was more overstimulated when I soothed her. We still got some beautiful photos even while she was awake, including using the new heart shaped bowl again. I also loved that the family had their own wrap to use as well ( the pretty floral one) as well as the white outfit she had on for the full family photos as well. It is always more important to me to use props and outfits that you have, than ones I have in the…

Kiyara and Samara Newborn Session – North Lakes
Newborn portrait session with big sister. When Sangeetha came in with newborn Kiyara and big sister Samara, we had a job on our hands. Samara still needed some convincing about this new little person that had just entered their family and she was not always keen to lay down with her sister or sit with her or give kisses. It took Mum and I all out powers of persuasion to get them together, so that we could get Mum that much wanted photo of her two girls together. We did get some of Mum and Bub as well (sadly Dad was already back at work but we will bring him…

Huxleys newborn portrait with big sister
It was great to see Olive back in the studio… it wasn’t that long ago we had Olive in for a family portrait with Mum and Dad, this time she was with her new baby brother Huxley.

Ayvan Newborn Portrait – North Lakes Studio
What a beautiful newborn session. Ayvan made my job easy (He almost slept through the whole session), as did big sister Aanya! It was so lovely to capture images of them together. She was so caring and careful with her new baby brother. We of course captured some beautiful family images with them all together, some with mum and then with dad. Then we did some images of just Ayvan and I was super happy to use the new heart shaped prop. The family ordered one of our 30×12″ framed wall storyboards! I love these. They tell the story of your session and come framed and ready to hang on…

Baby Seth North Lakes Newborn Portrait
When Shanyn came in for their newborn portrait, she said she didn’t want to be in the photos.. “just of Seth’ she said. I asked if she was sure and she said yes. So once fed and settled we began the session and Seth slept nearly the whole time! Nearing the end I asked again if they wanted any family portraits. They will be just close ups of faces and Seth. This time she agreed and I am so glad she did! Not only do I love the photos of them with their little boy but they loved them too. BAC Favourite Photo: The family shot with Mum, Dad and…

16 Day old Newborn in our North Lakes Studio
Little Chelsea was just 16 Days old when she came in for her newborn portrait session. We had to choose a Saturday as Dad is a teacher so that we could not only get beautiful photos of Chelsea but the all important images with Mum and Dad and the most important of all ‘The family image’. We started with some awake images… just loved some of the expressions. These are often my favourite ones (and the parents fav’s too). Then we had the new little family and then some of just Chelsea on her own. Such a little angel. BAC Funny Photo: Love the expression on Chelsea’s face in her…
