Chloe’s Midwinter Photoshoot

Seeing as we have all been stuck around home, or nearby for walks, I wanted to take a bit of a break on editing weddings and went for a walk with my little girl, Chloe for a bit of family photography. You’ve seen Chloe about in previous a previous cake smashing photoshoot for fir first birthday! Now she’s over two and enjoys jumping up and down in muddy puddles!

Her grandparents had also asked for some new photos of her to put up around their house, so I made use of the wonderful light this time of year brings and had her run about in the long grass. The idea of going to get a baby chino and apricot slice from her favourite cafe nearby was enough of a reason to have a big smile on her face.

Not too sure

Chloe ran off at one point on our walk to go explore herself and almost crawled up a nearby storm water drain, which was very cute – but I had to stop her doing that. Fortunately nearby there was a normally very dry pond that was quite full of water which made for some great shots. Having a midwinter photoshoot done really allows for the use of this kind of scene that is much more difficult to putt off during the summer, and better weather. You can also show off some of the winter fashion your toddler, or yourself is sporting!

Adventure Midwinter Photoshoot

I thought that some of the photos we took while we were running through muddy puddles made Chloe look determined as if we were on a quest, so the next logical thing to do in my situation was of course to photoshop in a sword and shield. It’s fun to contrast this darker themed adventure photo to a lighter, happy-go-lucky shot!

A midwinter photoshoot like this really allows for some perfect light to come through trees like this and create a beautiful soft tone that can be used in both instances! If you’d be keen on having your own shots like this done for your toddler, or even for youself, be sure to get in contact and we can certainly work something out!

Batman cosplay photoshoot – Blackwood Batman

Once in a while I might be asked to do something quite out of the ordinary, and very different to my usual wedding-related or family photography 🙂 One such time was when an old firend of mine asked if I could go out on a Batman cosplay photoshoot with him. It sounded like a bit of fun, so we went out and did it! It’s great as Anthony Chammas, or otherwise known as the ‘Blackwood Batman’ (ig @abatman94) dresses up in his Batman cosplay to inspire kids and head to hospitals, schools etc as a bit of a hobby, while also working as a personal life coach. He also has several other cosplay outfits, but Batman is his favourite.

For our little shoot, we made use of the rooftop parking in one of the carparks along Hindley street in the Adelaide CBD, whith the idea that I’d get some of the taller buildings in the city as a backdrop to mimic that of Gotham city’s skyline. We also made use of the dingy little allyways nearby, and even head all the way out to Crozier St in Port Adelaide to use the lovely weathered industrial walls out there. Much to the amusement of a security guard who asked what we were doing 🙂 As this was Batman I was shooting, I made use of some smoke bombs and smoke in a can to create the hazy effects seen in a few of these shots, while also applying some liberal colour adjustments to make the shots look more like they belong in Gotham city.

Blackwood Batman would very much be eager to act as an officiant at your wedding ceremony if you’d like that sort of thing 🙂 Just contact him through his IG page!

Baby Mirella – Newborn Shoot

Baby Mirella

I got to meet little baby Mirella the other day, she wasn’t overly keen on having newborn photos done, but once Daddy stepped in for a bit, she was happy for a few quick snaps before she went off to have a little nap. The nap time allowed me to get a few more shots with Mum and Dad while she wasnt grumpy. Mirella was about 9 weeks old when I was taking these photos, which means that she’s getting a little bit bigger than what one would usually aim for when having newborn photos done. Generally one would aim to have photos done between 2-4 weeks old, as thats when a newborn is still tiny, and more happy to sit still, not knowing too much about whats going on around them. Baby Mirella on the other hand wasn’t too keen on the flashing lights -but once she got used to them all, we got a few nice shots 🙂

Boss the Bull Mastiff Photoshoot

BOSS THE BULL MASTIFF

Boss the Bull Mastiff Photoshoot

Recently I ran a little contest on instagram in order to celebrate reaching 10,000 followers on the platform. The idea being that people who would like to enter were to select their favourite image I had put up on my feed. Well Boss the Bull Mastiff (@bossthebullmastiff) was the winner and as a result we went out to the Grange beach for a bit of a run about and photoshoot! Was a fairly simple little shoot, we started by walking along the dunes, and then had Boss run up and down the beach for a bit before striking a pose under the famed Grange Jetty. Boss was fairly easy to work with, very well trained and was kept on a leachsh for the whole time – just had to photoshop it out for the photos!
