Yesterday I had the  pleasure of travelling up to the east cost to a little town called Swansea for my comp winners session.

The drive was gorgeous and its so nice to explore our beautiful state. This family was also gorgeous and was such fun to photograph. The happiest of smiles, laughs and all round lovely.

We hung out in the great outdoors on such a beautiful afternoon where the light could not have been anymore perfect after a full day of gorgeous sun!

Thank You again B for allowing me to come to your home and capture some memories for you. I hope you love them as much as I loved doing them for you xxx

Yesterday I had the loveliest pleasure of photographing gorgeous little Xavier!

He loved to explore and lead us all through the park on a little adventure….a little boy on a mission.

These are my favourite type of photo shoots. The ones where you get to hang back and just watch kids play, explore and be natural. The reward is capturing the genuine, unique and gorgeous of smiles!

Whats also special is this is the second time I have photographed this little man and I just love watching him grow up. His previous sessions can be found:  http://truelurvephotography.com/theblog/?p=270 &  http://truelurvephotography.com/theblog/?p=261

Thanks again Jessica for the lovely session. I hope you like them! :)

For a while now I have wanted to compile together a collection of my portfolio in a slide show. I’ve always put it off because of the love hate relationship I have with my movie maker but I finally took a crack!

I wanted the slide show to represent all the love, my heart & my soul that I have put into my clients, and my own, photos over the past year! A thank you to them for supporting me, as well as something for my fans who supported me also to watch and hopefully make them smile.

My movie maker stayed true and there are times when I wanted to give up. But when you have something in your head you soldier on and when your final product turns out just the way you dreamed it makes it all worth it.

So I present to you, my heart true…and I hope it leaves you with a smile :)

Yesterday I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take some photos’s of gorgeous Imogen!

At 19 days old she was so very very tiny and was very keen to stay awake the whole shoot, but thats ok, just look at those gorgeous eyes!

Thank you to Jess for letting me come into your home and capture some photos of your new, gorgeous, addition to your family! She is just precious and I can tell she will be very loved by all, especially her big brothers!

I love this moment between brother & sister

On Saturday I had a lovely family photo shoot in the gardens with a gorgeous  family!

Charlotte, Sophie-lee & their new baby sister Hannah were an absolute pleasure to photograph, gorgeous smiles & just adored their new baby sister!

It was also a great day, predicted rain but that stayed well away for our session!

Sarah, I hope you like your sneak peak!  It was wonderful to take some photos for you of your precious family!

Its about the perfect time to have photos taken. Is there a perfect time? The following article sends some very important messages to make you really think.

So in light of reading that I have decided for the month of June to offer some very special….well specials!

With every session booked under my current digital negatives special I have decided to offer 2 choices. First and fantastic choice being 2 free 8×12 foamcores, valued at $100, all yours with your session to display your beautiful family in your home, or even give them as a gift! Second choice is $60 off your session. This is aimed at trying to help families out with the cost of a session and hopefully help someone out to save a few $$ and the chance to book themselves a session.

We all have some many important things in our lives and the most important are our friends and family…..the people close to us!

So lets celebrate…Love…Life…the people in our’s & dont let those moments slip away. Let’s capture the special moments today to create memories for a lifetime!

Trash the Dress = Fun

May 3, 2010

On Saturday myself and 2 awesome photographers, Peta {Peta Nikel Photography} & Dani {Dream & Just Believe Photography} met up for a different kind of photo shoot.

Trash the Dress is a very popular concept in the photography world, for those who dont know alot about it some info can be found at www.trashthedressphotography.com.au.

Virginia, Beck & Ally were our models for the day and we started out with hair at the wonderful Hairdooz salon in Howrah aswell as their make up by the talented Kate Smythe.

We ran out of light very quickly, but managed to get the best we could with the time we had. It was definately alot of fun and something I wish to do more of in the future.

Thanks to everyone involved.

Last month I ran a nomination competition where my lovely fans could either nominate themseleves or someone else in their life to win a free photo session.

There was so many touching entries and it really was the hardest decision to decide.

In the end everyone won a great discount and the one lucky winner was Virginia. She was nominated by her lovely friend Beck, who wanted to show her how much she appreciates her as a friend and because, to put it simply, Virginia deserved it.

We met up on a lovely typical Autumn day.  There was a slight chill in the air, the leaves were blowing and just earlier it sprinkled with rain.

Virginia has 2 adorable little children who just loved running about in the leaves and we had a great time discovering the Botanical Gardens.

Autumn is my favourite time of year for shoots! The colours are amazing, there is nothing quite like throwing a handful of leaves in the air and the leaves falling from the trees is just magical!

Here is the sneak peak.  Thank you Virginia for a lovely session.  I hope these bring a smile to your face.

Yesterday I has the pleasure of photographing 2 adorable little boys! Lewis, 10 months and Vincent who is almost 2.

Vincent was the ball of energy with the cheekiest of smiles & his little brother was a little more laid back & loved to play peek-a-boo!

Was a very fun shoot indeed and thanks to their family for having me. I hope you all  like your sneak peak!

Aren't they just the sweetest?

Also some of you may not know but I have released an Autumn special on my facebook fan page. Details can be found over in ‘My Investment’ and to stay updated dont forget to head on over and fan my page: HERE
