Sara and Maddie - Wollongong Baby and Maternity Photographer

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Sara (and her belly) and her gorgeous daughter Maddie. Maddie was a bit shy at first, which gave me a great opportunity to get some cute cuddly pics. She soon warmed up though, with the help of a Wiggles DVD LOL. This little girl is seriously beautiful and her mum is positively glowing.

Best of luck with the birth this week, I'll be thinking of you. Can't wait to meet your little man and take some pics.

I hope you enjoy this sneak peek, although there are quite a few here because I just couldn't decide on only a few.

Fairy Annika - Wollongong Childrens Photographer

Annika's 2nd birthday is coming up in August, I can't believe that she is nearly 2, the time goes way too fast.

Anyway, I'm doing a fairy theme for her party and mum made her a gorgeous lilac fairy dress. Earlier this week Annika got all dressed up in her fairy dress and shoes and I got some lovely photos that I'm using for her party invitation.

Annika is such a good fairy, she really got into, waving her wand and all. These photos are super cute, but maybe I am just biased he he he.













And here is Fairy Annika with her Nanny (my mum), having a little chat.



And on her tippies. Its so cute when she says "tippies"

Liam, Erin and Ryan - Wollongong Childrens Photographer

On Thursday I did a photo session with my 2 nephews, Liam and Ryan and my niece Erin. We had lots of fun. Liam does the best Bono and the Edge (from U2) impersonations LOL he is so funny. Liam is so photogenic, getting a great photo of him isn't all that hard. Erin is just the sweetest little girl I have ever met and an absolute joy to photograph. Then cheeky Ryan just keeps us all laughing with his antics, cute, cute, cute.

Big kisses to my 3 favourite nephews and niece, I hope you continue to let me photograph you.

Our Beautiful Cianna

By just a few days old, Cianna was already becoming accustomed to being the daughter of a photographer LOL. I couldn't wait to do a photo session with her.

I will let my photos tell the story here and show off our gorgeous little girl.









My two gorgeous girls. Annika is such a great big sister.


Mum had just finished crocheting this cocoon, she hadn't even sewn up the end (hence the ball of ball at the bottom) before I took some photos with Cianna.






This blanket was crocheted by my late grandmother.


Don't you just love the chubby double chin.


Maybe a little "smile" here?????

Annika Meets Her Little Sister Cianna for the First Time

I was so excited when Annika came into the hospital, to meet her little sister for the first time. Annika had been kissing the baby in my belly for months now.

Annika was in awe of Cianna. I sat Annika up on a chair, with a pillow, and put Cianna on her lap. They were so cute. I told Annika that her name was Cianna, and straight away Annika replied callling her "Arna", just so sweet. Annika was kissing her and patting her face, she was amazed and kept saying "Aww tiny".

We are just so lucky to have two beautiful little girls. Our hearts are over flowing with joy, excitement and wonderment.

Here are the pics of their first meeting.

Welcome Cianna Kate

On 17th June, 2008, at 10.33am we welcomed our second daughter, Cianna Kate, into the world. She arrived after a 2 hour labour, weighing 3.29kg (7lb 4oz), length 48cm. We are just so lucky to have 2 beautiful little girls.

My Belly - Wollongong Maternity Photographer

For my first blog entry I would like to share some maternity photos of me. These were taken by my husband, Aaron. He's not a photographer but I think he has a real eye for it though, he did so well. These were taken the night before I went into hospital to have Cianna (our 2nd beautiful daughter), so this is as pregnant as I got, 37 weeks and 5 days.
