CUTE COUSINS

One needs to be an opportunist, so I stuck my camera in the car while off to visit with extended family.  It was the first time for our grand-daughter Peppah to meet her cousins Nate and Bela, so I grabbed a few delightful photos while they played.

"I'm not sharing my biscuit with you girls - it's mine!" says Nate.

Peppah and Bela wondering what all the fuss is about!

"Listen up cus, if we're good we might get more..."

"Yep, I know, the secret is to smile and then they'll give us..." says Peppah

"Thanks Peppah, look it's working - look whats coming" says Bela

REFLECTIONS:

• Take every opportunity that you get - those moments will become your memories
• 7 month old babies move very quickly and just do life - no posing!
• This was fun.  Makes me want to do more baby shoots!

A NEW LIFE IS BORN - before and after!

What a special time pregnancy is - a time of anticipation and wonder, and then - the joys of meeting this precious little one that followed! 

I've had the joy and privilege to capture these moments, and it's been a most rewarding photographic journey. Not only that but I've made 3 new friends. Awesome!

 

This next photo is stunningly beautiful - celebrating the wonder of new life.

I had lots of fun using a variety of silky fabrics for draping.

This wasn't without a few challenges which meant I've learned what 'not to do', that said,

I think I still achieved interesting photos.

And now...

a big welcome to little 'Zoe' 

born 9th Sept '11

Captured in sweet bliss in her bassinet - what perfect little features!

 

 

 

I love this photo of dad and daughter bonding - precious!



"Mummy, I love you, you're the best mum in the whole world."

A real family at last.

"Yep, I'm the centre of their attention!"

Now for my favourite photo - but then I'm biased - what do you think?

So every girl has to have her toys - "so here's a few of my favouites so far!"

"And just to prove I'm a real girl just take a look at my gorgeous cards!"

So finally, a huge thanks to Abbey and Keith for allowing me to capture this very special time in their lives. You guys are awesome! 

REFLECTIONS:

• I definitely get a 'buzz' out of creating beautiful moments.
• Work precedes rewards!
• I love the energy and vitality that new friends bring to your life.
