camera shy....

Throw a large bed spread over a bookcase and 'voila' ....... neutral background.....add beautiful little babies that aren't camera shy at all........ and thats all you need for a fun shoot !

a mixed bag...........


such an enjoyable shoot............ i love it when its all a  mix of ages and i get to do some inside and some out............. this was such a fun morning................ some cute little monkeys..........and a delicious wee newborn...........mmmmm yummy ......... unfortunately he kept waking up when we popped him on the bed....hehe...nosey little man.........i do love sleepy baby photos....... note to self ; newborn photoshoots are best done before 2 weeks old..........6-10 days ideally .......... haha.........
we were blessed with a beautiful sunny - if not rather bright- day, which was awesome for the active toddlers of the group....... so we ran outside for a play ...........
here are some previews for you tracy and your lovely mummies....... it was a pleasure to meet your corey !he had me in stitches !!
enjoy xoxox sam










a beautiful family..........

i love taking photos of beautiful people/kids, and this family was no exception........
lucky for me, they are special friends of mine, who had been waiting patiently to do some family shots.....
i love the colours and how they pop from the background !
this is just a small selection for a preview...ofcourse there are tons more !! its hard to decide what to put up .........
so here you go , my special little friends........ your beautiful family.xoxoxox















 

props galore.........

i do love it when i go to a shoot and they pretty much have everything under the sun to use ..............we had some gorgeous little things for the little darlings in this shoot, from vintage handbags and jewellery, to the rocking horse......balloons...........it was awesome to have so much to choose from.
i am a firm advocate for 'less is more' so was pulling things out and putting things in ......... but what i really love and enjoy , is when mums think outside the box and really prepare for options to have in the shoots and thats exactly what these lovely mummies did !! ofcourse i have creative license......but having the choices there is great !!!
one day when i have my own studio..there are going to be some very cool things in there !!!

i had such a great morning with these ones........ the mums were so full of energy.....( preschool teachers....) and the kids were awesome!! we even had a seperate 'house' for our 'studio' , it was fantastic !!! so here is a weeny little preview ......
enjoy angela and mummies..........

teeny weenies.........


i have been doing so many 'big kids' compared to these little teeny weenies........ its a completely different shoot , as ofcourse they arent really moving much at all and are all floppy and stuff...... so cute !!!! so with this age........... its all about the eyes.......and the little iddy biddy bodies !!
4 little men and 1 little lady..........
here's a few little previews for you , to keep you going.........
i do love little fingers and tiny toes.......
enjoy xoxox sam






party party party

I had the pleasure of meeting some real little cuties at their joint First birthday party!....... and as you will see, majority of them LOVED my camera ...or me ? ...not sure which .....but i do love a bunch of posers !!! makes my job very easy indeed .........and makes me giggle...xx
such bright little eyes and big smiles............ all of them were moving and climbing around the big double bed ( away from the party for less distractions ) .........
such an enjoyable couple of hours.......... and i love the complete diversity of shots from each child.........
special thanks to all the mums and dads , for all the singing and dancing ! ;)
here's a little peek to tide you over till after the weekend.......
thanks mel .......enjoy ......xoxoxox sam









little roses amoungst the weeds..........

wow....... it seems like forever since i was last babbling on here..... well, 3 weeks ago ish....alot has gone on in those 3 weeks and i will apologise now to anyone from recent mini sessions/or private shoots that are still to see their 'previews' ..... at this stage , sometimes you are likely to get your cd's first....or see your previews only days before getting your cd's........ purely with this xmas rush , i have very little time to scroll through every shoot , until its turn to start editing it...... ..but here i am ...and in between starting to edit this particular shoot and my sick kids....( what a week i tell you !! ) i thought i'd pop some previews up........ even though i plan on dropping the cd's off this weekend..( sunday/monday) ....... so at first glance..... here are some peeks at a gorgeous shoot we did at longbay...... i do love outdoor shoots... and on this particular day , the rain was on and off and that made for a gorgeous moody sky and perfect light........ the mums were awesome and we were sticking these little darlings on sandy banks, where some , didnt really like the feel of...but were such troopers.... and all full of personality, making my time spent with them , very enjoyable !!! thanks for letting me play with these little darlings........i'm glad i could get some cute shots for you all xoxox enjoy ...sam
