I had a wonderful morning with baby Lucas and his family yesterday.  He was an amazing subject - just fell asleep during a family photo and stayed that way.  Amazing for a 3 month old baby.  Here’s a few of my favourites from the session. 

Here are a few more from this beautiful day!

Some fish-eye fun. 

Got to love the Jacaradas - it must be exam time!

The Hillstone door.

I love the look on both of their faces as they walked down the aisle. 

Here are a few more photos from Ian and Jenny’s wedding.  It was such a beautiful day.  

I had the privilege of sharing last Saturday with Ian and Jenny.  It was a beautiful day - in so many ways! 

I got a pile of these chinese umbrellas the other day and wanted to give them a try and do a something different.    

No umbrellas in these ones but I found some beautiful light.

I love choices.  I’m not that great at decisions but I do love to be given options.  I love big specialised stores when they have more options than you can even look at.  That’s why I’ve just added a few new albums to my range. 

My new Tuscany albums have enabled me to offer Magazine style albums for a more affordable price.  However, for those who are looking for something a little more elegant or want more control over their covers then the Seldex Premier Range will offer you that.  The Art Album (which I am yet to recieve so do not have a photograph of) is another amazing option which allows you to combine magazine style layouts with matted pages.  And for those of you who just like the matted albums - I’ve got them as well.

Anyway, here’s a few pictures.  If you would like to see the albums in person then fill in the contacts form to make an appointment. 

The 8×8 Matted album is a good started Wedding album.  It also makes a awesome Signing book at a wedding.  The matted pages can be signed on by guests.  It’s a great way to include your engagement session photos in your wedding.

This is a 5×5 Tuscany Album.  I’ve got a bigger one on the way but I just love this hand-bag sized one.  They make great parent books or great as a duplicate album to put in your bag to show friends or take to work.  They come with a little cover as well.  In fact, I like them so much that anyone who books with a album package in July or August will get a bonus on of these thrown in (sorry, this excludes all previous bookings). 

The Sedex Premier Album comes with a huge variety of covers and in a variety of sizes. 

J-Lee Albums make good session albums - especially for portraits and engagements.  They are also good for parent albums. 

These are how your wedding DVDs are presented.  The black box is silk-lined.  A beautiful leather case with a photo insert contains a printed DVD.  These are such a nice way to preserve your wedding files and are so much nicer than they plastic cases we usually find DVDs in. 

And like every special occasion - the presentation of your album (or anything you purchase from me) is worthy of some nice gift wrap.  Here’s Broni & Anthony’s album ready for them to collect. 

This is my official new logo.  I decided it was time for a change.  In case you’re wondering why the butterfly.  Apart from the fact that I really like butterflys (Natalie’s room has a butterfly theme), I also thought they fit with the concept of First Glimpse.  Butterflys break through their coccoon and start a completely different life - much like when you get married, or when a new baby is born, or as children enter any new stage of life.  The butterfly’s unique beauty passes so quickly as they only live a few days after they leave the coocoon and to me that is a reminder of the need to capture images while you can - moments pass so quickly and we want to remember the beauty and uniquness of each stage of our lives. 

I also want to thank Lauren who helped me with the concept and design.  This blog will be covered in pohtos of Lauren in a few weeks as she’s getting married next Saturday!  I’m really looking forward to photographing her wedding.   

Jenny & Ian met up with me yesterday afternoon at a park that is special to them.  We had a great time.  They said they’d do anything silly I wanted them to do.  We had a bit of fun and then warmed up for an amazing sunset. 

I hope you like them guys… I had a great time.

This girl just shines in front of the camera.  I really enjoyed photographing her a few weeks ago.

I had an exciting day on Saturday attending the PMA conference.  I got to listen to a few great photographers speak, view the portrait judging for the Australian Photographers Assocation Awards and wander around the very large trade show.  I’ve found a few new products that I’ll be offering my cutomers in the next few months which is very exciting.
