Baby Cooper’s Newborn Photoshoot

Cooper and his parents recently came by for a photoshoot in my newly developed newborn photo studio, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight! Skye and Brandon, Cooper’s parents, were a past bridal couple I had the pleasure of photographing at their wedding about 18 months ago. It was such a joy to see them again, this time with their little bundle of joy in tow.

Cooper is one of those babies who instantly melts your heart. From the moment we saw him, I knew we were going to have a fantastic session. His adorable button nose, tiny fingers, and his tiny frame just made his so adoreable! I couldn’t wait to capture his precious moments on camera and create memories that his parents would cherish forever.

Cooper was such a champ during the photoshoot, going along with all the little poses we had planned for him. He was calm, content, and absolutely stole the show with his cuteness. It’s moments like these that remind me why I adore working with newborns so much.

During the session, we focused on creating a variety of setups and themes to showcase Cooper’s unique personality and bring out his irresistible charm. As he arrived fast asleep, we started with some cozy and intimate shots of him snuggled up in soft blankets, capturing his peaceful slumber. We then moved on to some playful setups, introducing a basket prop that added a touch of whimsy to the photos.

Cooper did not enjoy having his nice warm clothes taken off for a few shots, but once he was wrapped up again in the soft blankets he calmed down again and was very happy to sit there being cute.

As the session progressed, it was heartwarming to see Skye and Brandon’s eyes light up with every shot. Their love for baby Cooper was palpable, and their excitement was contagious. The bond between parents and their newborn is something truly magical, and I consider it an honor to capture those raw emotions and freeze them in time.

After Cooper’s newborn photoshoot, Skye and Brandon couldn’t stop expressing their gratitude. They were overjoyed to have these beautiful photographs as a reminder of this special phase in their lives. Knowing that I played a part in creating cherished memories for a family fills me with immense satisfaction and drives my passion for newborn photography even further.

Cooper’s newborn photoshoot was an incredible experience filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of adorable moments. I’m grateful to Skye and Brandon for choosing me to capture their precious memories and for allowing me to witness their journey as parents. Cooper is undeniably a lucky little boy to have such amazing parents, and I have no doubt that their love will continue to fill his life with endless joy.

Baby Charlize’s Newborn Photoshoot

There’s nothing quite like the joy of working with a newborn baby in your photography studio, and that’s exactly what I experienced when little baby Charlize came to visit. As a newborn photographer, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this precious little one and capture her early moments in life.

Charlize was just a few weeks old when she came to my studio, and she was a delight to work with. She was reasonably well behaved, particularly when she was in Dad’s arms and after she had a bit of a feed. This allowed us to create some beautiful images without any major disruptions.

One of the things that Charlize seemed to really enjoy was the soft, fluffy rugs that I had set up in my home studio. She looked so peaceful and content when we placed her on the rugs, and her tiny fingers and toes made for some adorable close-up shots. It was amazing to see how something as simple as a rug could make such a difference in creating a comfortable environment for Charlize.

I was excited to be using my newly developed newborn photo studio. The studio was specifically designed with newborns in mind, and it had everything we needed to create stunning images. I developed the space with the aim of using mainly natural light, filtering in through a simple white curtain backdrop, and a minimum of props which otherwise daws away from the natural emotions a little one shows.

It was a lot of fun to capture the beauty of Charlize and her newness to the world.

What I loved most about working with Charlize was the opportunity to create unique and memorable images that her family will cherish for years to come. From the close-up shots of her tiny feet to the peaceful sleeping poses, every image was a true work of art. And the fact that Charlize was such a happy and content little model made the experience even more enjoyable.

Having baby Charlize as my model in my newly built newborn photo studio was an experience that I will always cherish. Her innocence, beauty, and peacefulness made for a perfect subject, and I am grateful for the opportunity to capture her early moments in life. Working with newborns is truly a special experience, and I can’t wait to see what other little ones will come through my studio for a newborn photoshoot in the future!

Fountain Valley Reserve Family Shoot – Shaw Family

It was that time of year again where I get to head out for a bit of a Family Photoshoot with the Shaw Family! This time we head out to the lovely little Fountain Valley Reserve, just off South Road in Happy Valley.

It’s fun that Miranda and Jake shooce to head to different spots each year to get a bit of variety in their yearly family photos! Last year we were in a pine forest, and the time prior, another small park in Happy Valley.

This time their choice was the Fountain Valley reserve which at this time of year boasts a bubbling brook streaming through some delightful weeping willows and lots of long, lush grass. I had a lot of fun at their Fountain valley Reserve Family Shoot! The light in the morning was beautiful combined with the natural beauty of the place made my job pretty simple!

Himeji Gardens Family Shoot

It was nice to meet up with Cristina and Matthew again after having shot their engagement photos what seems like eons ago – well before this website was developed! We head out for a Himeji Gardens family shoot on Adelaide’s South Terrace with their grandparents. The weather was great, and everyone was all smiles – the only issue was how busy the gardens were!

I’d never seen the Himeji gardens so busy! It seemed like everyone was out just enjoying the weather – which was fair enough! But it meant that I had to get a bit creative when it came to the angles I was using – and a touch of photoshop – to make sure there was no one in the background of these family photos.

It was a little frustrating, as other times I had head out for a Himeji Gardens family shoot, I had no such issues and I could use all of the ‘money shots’ that the gardens are famous for. But it turned out ok as Cristine and Matthew were keen to take as many phtos as possible – but Grandpa and Yaya ran out of steam rather quickly.

The main goal was to get a few shots together as a family so I think we achieved that!

Vancouver’s Capilano River Couple Shoot – Clancy & Rob

I was super lucky to have had the opportunity to head over to Canada for a bit of photo shooting in amongst the incredible scenery on offer in Canmore and Banff! But on the way home I spent a few days in and around North Vancouver with Clancy and Rob!

Most of these photos were taken in and around the Capilano River Regional Park in North Vancouver.

Vancouver’s Capilano River Couple Shoot

Clancy and Rob’s Capilano River Couple Shoot began at the top of the canyon area, where we walked over the huge Cleveland Dam. The water was quite low in the gorge below, so we were not only able to make the most of the incredible pine trees on display along the paths, but also the rocky outcrops that would otherwise be under water if it were to be flowing more heavily.

It was a rather hot day for Canada – well from my experience anyway! and as we began at the top,and walked down to the water level – we had to walk all the way to the top again, which was pretty hard going! once we had our fill of photos we head to a local Sushi shop for lunch 🙂

The last few photos in this collection were taken the day after on a short trip up to Whistler, but the majority are from the Capilano River Couple Shoot!
