Twins and a baby!

When Emma and I were discussing her goals for her newborn shoot she wanted to make sure we would get photos of the siblings together, one of just her 14 months old twin girls, a sleepy photo of Bub and a nice family photo. The best thing you can do as a client is to communicate your concerns, your goals and any questions you have so everyone can be relaxed and enjoy the your time in the studio!

Sibling photos can be difficult at the best of times, 14 month old twins is another ball game all together, but with a lot of team work we did it! Hats off to mum and dad, I’m sure home life can get a little bit full on but they’re obviously amazing parents to have such well behaved, gorgeous girls!

Here is a selection of their chosen images 💕

Extended Family Shoot

When Cara contacted me to do her family’s photos I knew it was going to be fun! I had an outdoor maternity session with Cara and her boys back in feb last year and her twins made me work for it (they’re the pure definition of double trouble 😂) but it was so much fun and I honestly loved their cheekiness. When the time came for Olivers cake smash, the twins were their usual cheeky selves nearly tucking into the cake before Oliver even had a chance 😂.

I love big family shoots, I know as a photographer it can be a little bit more difficult dealing with more people than usual but i really loved it, and I love that these photos will be cherished in the years to come. Coming from a large extended family I knew how cherished these images will be, but I also wanted to make sure we actually had fun so the smiles were genuine 😉

There is SO much to remember when it comes to these shoots, and I love them! Being the youngest in my family I’m used to my family dynamic and getting attention when needed (I’m pretty loud on the best of days) so that part is totally fine. But it’s the intricate nature of larger families, the partners who have married into the family, the sisters, the grandparents, the cousins, the aunties, the siblings, the parents - theres a lot of special relationships in there that NEED to be captured authentically and while I love posed shot, it’s all the little moments in between that really make you smile when looking at these images.

Happy Viewing!

Koda's Sitter Session

EEP! I could hardly believe it that it was time for Koda to come in for his sitter session, it literally felt like last month I was capturing him and his brothers for his newborn shoot. Not only has Koda grown but so has Laikin and Pheonix, it was beautiful watching these boys playing together, I bet Koda can hardly wait until he is running and chasing them!

Outfits can have the ability to make or break your photos, a crazy logo or fluro colours can really be a stand out for all the wrong reasons! So after chatting with Alana, we came up with a few outfit ideas that would suit the backdrops we have in mind as well as being true to Koda and his big brothers own style. I think Alana nailed the outfits for the boys!

This green outfit is a studio outfit

Baby Announcement / Glitter session

Booking this session in went a little something like this:

Me: ‘Michelle! We need to do these sibling photos, and I have some new backdrops that I think would perfectly with your style’ *sends picture of new backdrops’

Michelle: ‘ That looks great, like a Hao Long Bay sunset! Also, we might have another reason for this shoot…I have some news’

Me: ‘omg, omg, omg…are you saying what I think you’re saying?!’

A few weeks ago Michelle and her girls Mia and Lily came into the studio to celebrate the announcement a new sibling on the way! This was such a fun and special session for me, to be a small part of documenting the big moments in family life are what make my ‘job’ so great.

Michelle and I met at mother’s group when our firstborn babies were just 6 weeks old, they turn 5 this November. Throughout our friendship I have photographed Mia’s cake smash, Michelle’s second pregnancy as well as Lily for her newborn photos. The photos from that session are proudly displayed on my studio walls and Michelle + Dans lounge room and now I can’t wait for this little bubs newborn session in my studio in Umina.

Custom Onsie is from TinyLabel, another business a mum from our mother’s group owns and operates.

It needs to be said that these girls are so gorgeous inside and out just like their parents.

FYI, I’m still finding glitter in my studio 😂

In Michelle’s words ‘ Excitement, shock, overwhelmed... All the feelings when you find out there's another baby on the way!!!’.
