Big Brother

I have so many photos that I love from this session and couldn't resist sharing this of big brother's love for his new baby sister!

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.

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! 



One More Makes Four!

What a gorgeous family who have just welcomed their fourth child to the family.  Congratulations, she's beautiful!

Miracles do happen....

"Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I 
loved you. Before you were here an hour I would die for you. This isthe miracle of life." (Maureen Hawkins)

When you decide it’s time to try to conceive a child it can be a rollercoaster of emotions.  Lot’s of disappointment and trying but hopefully you finally get there.  I know this as it happened to me.  My client not only has been through that rollercoaster but had a little miracle she thought would never happen. 

Since she was a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a mother, meeting the right man and having a family of her own but when she was a teenager she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries and was told that she would never be able to conceive children.  Imagine being told that something you’ve always dreamed about would never happen to you.   Going months without a period and under the impression she would never conceive, what a miracle it was when her instinct told her that her body was changing and she might be pregnant.   Taking the test her instincts were right, she was pregnant!

The gynaecologist calculated that she only had a 2 day window in the year to possibly conceive.  I truly believe that when a little soul wants to get here, they’ll find a way and what a little miracle baby this is.
