Just a quick note to apologise for my absence over the past couple of months, I’ve had a very good reason  ;-)

We travelled here:

To do this:

Chris & I were married at the end of October in Tuscany!!  These beautiful photographs are the gorgeous work of Jose Villa.  Go & check out his amazing (film!) work  :) 

I’m only now getting caught up on my work, so expect to see shots from these sessions soon:

Oscar’s Newborn Session (Part II);   Alicia & Brad’s Pregnancy Session;   Talitha’s First Year & Smith Family Session;   Arley’s Newborn Session;   my beautiful brand new niece Evie’s Newborn Session;   Amanda’s Celebration of Self Session (including some shots with & of her husband);   Trish & Rowan’s New Year’s Eve Engagement Session;   and, Michaela’s Portrait Session.  Oi!  Better get to work  ;-)

Meet my beautiful friend, Alicia.  I was a guest at Alicia’s baby shower a week ago, so I snuck her outside to grab a couple of very quick shots of her and her lovely round shape!  After looking through this handful of images, Alicia & Brad have decided to work with me on a full pregnancy session, and then their son’s newborn session, and I can hardly wait! 

Thank you for letting me share these images  :)

Introducing baby Oscar James!  Oscar is the brand new son of my beautiful friends, Helena & Gleb (you can see their pregnancy session HERE).  We have quickly learned that Os is a much bigger fan of cuddles than he is of having his photograph taken, and after three (THREE!!) attempts at photographing him as a newborn – at 10 days, 2 weeks and 3 weeks -  these are the images we got.  Good thing he’s completely adorable and gives his Aunty Nay lots and lots of cuddles!

We are so happy to have you here with us Os!  It is plainly written on the faces of your parents how much love and joy you already bring to their lives, I don’t think anyone can imagine life without you now.  

This is also my public apology to you for being so adamant that you were a baby girl all that time in your mummy’s belly!   Oops …

Now, on to a few of my favourite images!

I just love this series of the brand new family  :)

And I think these two take the cake for my favourites from the session – already full of cheekiness, just like both mummy and daddy!

And yes, this blog post title reads ‘Part I’ – there are more to come!  Part II should be ready to pubish next week  :)
