It was lovely to join some of the other Heartfelt photographers and spread a little Christmas cheer in the neonatal wards across the country. Tiny little hats and blankets were knitted with love and sent to us to use in our Christmas photos with the premmie babies. Not how any of the families were planning on spending their first Christmas with their babies, but they are surrounded by a whole lot of love and dedicated, hard working hospital staff.

 
Such an exciting night for the 120+ students celebrating the end of their primary school years. Friendships and memories have been made, and new adventures await. Good luck!

A sneak peek from this morning’s session with the most gorgeous Isla. Absolutely adored already X

It’s that time of year when you just can’t face another party.

“Never overlook the power of simplicity”

I came across this quote today and instantly thought back to my newborn session with baby Sav earlier this year. I finished the shoot and knew I had found my style.

All of my sessions receive a slideshow video of highlights, set to music. A great way to share your images with family and friends, those close to home and especially those far away. This one was to welcome the gorgeous baby Florence.

Some photos appeared in my feed from 4 years ago when we were living in New York and I thought I’d share them. We got to experience the magic of the incredible window displays of Macy’s and 5th Avenue. I loved just stepping back and seeing who came along into my frame.

After her Cake Smash session, Siaana’s expectations for her daily bath have just been raised. Apologies to your parents.

Lots of great big family hugs during my shoot down the beach last weekend. Capturing that precious time when parents are the children’s whole, wide world.

We had just finished a photo shoot this morning and a man walked by with 3 gorgeous puppies. He was very accommodating and let us include them in a few last photos.

I attended my son’s Presentation Parade today for his army cadet unit. I love the precision of it all, and the emotional impact with the marching band providing the music.

How smug are all these families? It’s not even December and the Christmas photos have been taken and the Christmas cards have been made.

Much love to all my families who came along to my Christmas mini-sessions. For some, this was their fourth year, and it was lovely to also welcome some new siblings and new faces.
