Editing...

I really love editing. From the time I shoot the actual picture, I have an idea in my head about exactly what it will look like after I've given it a little 'tweak' in Photoshop. Ps is great to learn, even if your just wanting to learn the basics; removing a colour cast from old photographs, getting rid of unwanted blemishes, etc- The other day though, I gave little Tate an arm :D I had a photograph I really loved for the expressions on the kids faces, but one of the boys had thrown his arm behind his back as he was running and looked like an amputee...Hmm what to do? I found a very similar picture (with his arm included) resized it to suit the armless one & using the clone stamp, copied his arm across. I make sure I zoom in close to fix little bits, like the grass round his hand, remember to change the opacity to suit. And voila! Tate has an arm :D

Mat & Andrea, Tate, Lane & Holly

Mat, Andrea & their 3 very good-looking children recently moved to the Goldy from Melbourne. It was time for a change, and time for new photos! After dodging a few rainy weekends, we met down at Currumbin Rock for their shoot. The kids were excited, and so was I= a fun afternoon! Ending in Holly going for a swim fully clothed! I guess she thought I was finished...such cutie petuties! :D xx

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jay & Renee, Ella & Cooper

I first met Jay & Renee when they were expecting little Ella to join their family. So, I was happy to get a call back to shoot their 2nd Belly & Baby package recently, with little baby Cooper on the way. Ella has grown so much, it was great to catch up! Cooper is such an adorable little man with doting parents & a loving sister :D All the best to you guys xx                            

    

 

And now...here's luscious baby Cooper (or, Coo-ker, as Ella calls him) :D

    

Beautiful baby, curves & creases.

 

 

 

Ben, Kristee & Summer

Summer arrived within the first year of Ben & Kristee's marriage. She was a Summer Surprise! You might remember Ben & Kristee's wedding photos from my website. Theirs was the first of many weddings I photographed in beautiful Murwillumbah. With green rolling hills & tumble-down shacks, it's a country bumpkins paradise! Well this shoot was well & truly overdue. Summer is growing so quickly, doted on by her parents & wonderful great grandparents, Ma & Da. We ducked in and out of the rain for photos, threw flowers in the air & blew bubbles around the garden. Thanks for the fun afternoon ;D

Just look at those beautiful kissy lips! Mwah! xx

ooo Bubbles! ooo

Bradd, Holly & Lacie

There's a lovely park at Coomera with sandstone walls, little bridges, lush trees, a fountain and of course...ducks. I suggested to Bradd & Holly they bring baby Lacie here for her first ever photo shoot. And she was fascinated. I love watching babies when their little feet first touch the grass and there's that look of...'ooh! What's that!? Wow!' Lacie is so adorable too. Big blue eyes & a little face that just lights up when she's looking at her mum & dad. Thanks for the fun afternoon guys =)
