Red Hat!
Oh that red baseball cap
I snuck it
It fitted right on my head
Something about a red baseball cap
But Dad said I had to give it back!!!!
Family Lifestyle Photo Shoot at the Park!
It might be cold here at the moment but when the sun comes out what better place to have a family photo shoot than down at the local park playing with the ducks, looking for fairies and playing on the swings.
Spring has Sprung!
Oh the light ..... Spring has sprung! A beautiful time to have your family photos taken.
The Memories come flooding back....
Searching through old photos, I came across some that I took at my son Toby's local playgroup
8 years ago. Oh, the memories! To think he was once this little toddler! Coincidentally, this is where Watch Them Grow Photography started. Thought I'd share some of them with you -
Forget to print your photos?
FORGET TO PRINT YOUR PHOTOS???
I’ve always loved photography going way back to using 35mm film. Remember when you were young and film was developed at the Chemist or local photo shop and how excited we were to pick up your photos and look at a printed photo? We couldn’t wait to put them in our photo albums and even now, how much we love looking back at our photos and the memories they share? The computer just doesn’t have the same effect. I believe photos you hold in your hands are so much more valuable than digital versions.
I’m just as bad, I keep telling myself that I must print my personal photos that are stuck on my hard drive on my computer. It’s so easy to think I must get around to it but the more you put off having them printed, they accumulate and it becomes a momentous task!
The digital age is here. The ability to share your photos with family all over the world is amazing. The scary part is that hard drives aren’t reliable and have parts that eventually fail, so what next? Technology is always changing and the devices that we use now will probably be redundant in years to come. Photographs gain value over time so it’s imperative that we print our photos now to make sure that we’ll have them to show for future generations.

I include prints in every package I offer. I’m all inclusive right now, so everyone gets digital photos on a USB drive, as well as 6 x 4” fine art archival prints of their selected photos. Archival paper is referred to as ‘Museum grade’, made of cotton and highly resistant to ageing and deterioration over time. Archival paper is acid free and lignin free, in other words the paper is less likely to yellow and deteriorate. Of course I also offer larger print sizes, fine art and coffee albums and mount boards all printed on archival photo paper.
Digital images are wonderful for sharing online but having a tangible print in a beautiful album is an heirloom to be handed down through the generations.
Twins out Loud!
Not only do I love photography but I also love home decorating. So I can't tell you how excited I was to discover a recycled furniture warehouse called Mulbury. They have the most unusual pieces including industrial and recycled timber furniture. They so kindly offered for me to use a ship's horn for a little shoot I did of the cutest twin boys. Go check out their site at - www.mulbury.com.au
Accessorise, Accessorise!!!
A girl can never have too many accessories, maybe not all on at the same time!!!
It's Been a Wonderful Year
To all the precious newborns, babies, children, and families that I've photographed during 2014, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me and helping me do what I love so much. Cheers to 2015!
Time goes so fast ....
I just love watching them grow, watching them grow from newborn into little people and here's the most adorable little one at 10 months. Watch out Mum he's nearly walking.....

Panton Hill Winery Visit
One of the perks of my job is meeting wonderful people! I photographed this family last year and since they've added a new addition to the family, congratulations! We travelled to the stunning Panton Hill Winery in the Yarra Valley as our backdrop as it's a favourite location for my client. Hope you enjoy your preview!

"Melbourne, gale force winds and rain expected this afternoon"
The day started with sunshine in the morning but the Weather Bureau predicted gale force winds and rain in the afternoon right when I was to photograph this delightful family at the park. We decided to persevere and see what happens. Starting at the house which had the most beautiful south facing light, building blocks and playing on the in house slide. Trying to beat the rain, off we went to the local park, running with the balloons, playing on the play equipment, blowing bubbles and was about to finish up when down came the rain! Mother Nature was just on our side!
Cousins!
I've had the priviledge of photographing these little boys since they were knee high to a grasshopper! Their cousin has just moved here from overseas and what a treat it was to photograph all three boys in all their cuteness! The Mums are pretty cute too!
Lead up to Winter .... / Family Photography
We had a cold and Wintry photo shoot with one of Toby's friend's family at a gorgeous park I found. We were hoping to capture the colour of the Autumn leaves falling on the ground but we had to search high and low to find a park that had any resemblance of deciduous trees, as parks in the Bayside area only have natives. This cute park was originally a racecourse which they have utilised that theme to design the park itself. Yay.... a couple of deciduous trees but the local council were too efficient cleaning up the fallen leaves! Fighting off the rain and wind I think the hit of the day was the Flying Fox!!
