"A Child's Tale"
LITTLE GIRLS
(Karen Barnes)
Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs and all the precious memories of times that once were.
Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow and all the happy feelings deep inside that we all know.
Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls and snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.
Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew and these are the reasons little one, why everyone loves you.
A Boy's Dream to Ride a Vintage Motorbike!

Little Indian!
More from a previous "A Child's Tale" photo shoot....The oh so talented Ava loves craft making and with that made the most gorgeous Indian head dress which was the perfect prop for a "A Child's Tale" photo shoot. Not only did Ava make her own Indian head dress but she decided to make me one as well. I was so touched that she went to all the trouble of making one for me! So clever, thank you so much!
Children love coming up with ideas for their own concept photo shoot. Can't believe that my son who usually hates me taking his photo, wants to organise a "A Child's Tale" photo shoot so he can have his own special canvas/framed photo in his room.
A Rose Amongst Thorns!
There's magic in the ordinary, you just have to find it! Gorgeous Ava did with her new, pink skirt and a photo shoot came to life!!
"A Child's Tale"
I love it when clients ask to organise a more concept shoot of their children. I get so excited as it brings out my creative ideas! A photo shoot that captures who their child is at a particular stage of their life! Introducing "A Child's Tale", where children can bring their imaginations to life and design a photo shoot around their passion! This is one shoot that this gorgeous girl and her friend wanted to do...to use her favourite vintage dresses and create an almost whimsical, dreamlike land.
This is a great idea for a gift for a child's birthday or keepsake. To make a booking contact Jenn on 0400 841627 and create a lasting memory for your child.

Using Props!
Photographing 'Lifestyle' means real, natural, as the story unfolds in front of you. Sometimes though, to help a child feel comfortable in front of the camera, I occasionally use minimal props to help them feel at ease. Props can show a particular stage of your child's development and what child doesn't love to show off their toys. Older children "Tweens" or Teenagers love to be able to express their own ideas on how they would like themselves to be portrayed. It can help build their self confidence in front of the camera if they've been able to use a prop that they love. For boys it could be their skateboard, bike, fishing rod, Lego, etc., for girls it could be their favourite dress, make-up, flowers or their own ideas. This little girl wanted to show off her new vintage dresses and she was so thrilled with the outcome!
And night falls....

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

A girl can never have too many accessories, maybe not all on at the same time!!!

For someone so young....
My friend's daughter Charlotte decided all on her own to donate her hair for people suffering with Cancer in the World's Greatest Shave! In her own words "I am only 7 years old and in Grade 2. I know how sick people can get when they have a yucky thing called cancer. I hope I can help them and they can use my hair to make a wig." To think someone so young would be so selfless to think of others. Charlotte and I shared a gorgeous photo shoot before her big haircut. You can sponsor Charlotte her at this address: www.worldsgreatestshave.com/charlotte van poppel.
