    And So Lauren & Chris Won The Couples Shoot Competition…

    A little while ago, I ran a Facebook competition for a free couples shoot. Lauren and Chris won it. Huzzah!

    We decided on Morialta Conservation Park as our location. We started off in the “safer” part of the park…

    After the outfiit change, we spontaneously decided to drive further up towards the falls. I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and driving around cliffs over-excites me in a very bad way! Haha.

    As we walked up towards the lookout area, I was so taken by the surroundings. It was so incredibly beautiful. I really don’t know South Australia like I should. I was just so proud of what I saw and I cannot wait to go back there.

    Yes, I love amazing scenery and spontaneous decisions and a willing couple.

    Lauren and Chris, thank you for having a little fun with me, and for being so malleable while we tried this pose and that pose. You were both great!

    And bless you, Morialta.

    And now onto the second location – well, it’s really the same location, but it’s around the lookout area.

    I did not superimpose them! I promise! :) How Aussie is this scenery? Don’t you just LOVE it?

    Ah, this photo makes me chuckle. Cause it really could have ended in tears! (As my husband likes to say.) An accidental tumble to the right would have been um… oh, I don’t even want to think about it! It was a LONG way down, put it that way. Mind you, Lauren had crazy heels on, too.

    I think we needed a book and a cup of tea here to complete the picture… it was so serene and just so beautiful…

    Dani & Troy’s Pre-Wedding Shoot

    Dani and Troy are a gorgeous couple and they’re getting married in October! Woot! (I’ve been having wedding withdrawal symptoms – I tell ya.)

    What makes them extra gorgeous, is the little bundle they have together named Archer. Such a beautiful little boy with wonderful light blue eyes. Big eyes. A happy little soul indeed, and was more than happy to give me loads of smiles for the photos. Bless him.

    This session was Dani and Troy’s pre-wedding shoot, but we included Archer because seriously, how could you not?!

    We all met at Adelaide’s Art Gallery, and the plan was to take some shots around there (I had the pillars in my head); but there were more interesting corners behind the building, and it was in those pockets that we stayed. The day started with very miserable weather, and though it didn’t bother me, Dani wasn’t sure whether to go ahead. Luckily we kept on and the weather even cleared up a tad. Just for us, of course.

    After the shots with Archer, the grandparents whisked him away so that we could focus on Dani and Troy as a couple. The romantic element set in. It was a great plan!

    What I like most about this session is that it feels like there is something in it for everybody. The romance and the family factor, the urban look, the classic buildings, the wintry feel, softened by lots of laughter and smiles. I think there’s a few keepsakes in there for the grandparents for sure.

    I’ve never noticed this building before, and what a photo “prop” it turned out to be!

    Serious couple.

    Dani looking for me, Troy doing his own thing. :)

    I just love this shot! Ain’t love grand?

    Absolutely loved it when Dani’s face lit up like like this…

    One of my favourites. Troy’s got that young “Godfather” look here. Hehe.

    You know when you have a moment, and you can just exist together, totally comfortable with an uncomfortable silence, totally comfortable with each other inside out. I reckon that moment looks like this…

    Truly enjoying each other’s company, and forgetting I was there…

    Dani and Troy, thank you so much! See you in October! xoxo

    Alessandro’s Newborn Shoot – The Extended Version

    I have posted a couple of sneak previews of Alessandro and his mummy previously, but here are a few more shots from the heavenly session we had. It was hard to believe that weeks prior, Alessandro had a grand baby shower put on for him (and for mummy, too!) and that now he’s really and truly here, looking as gorgeous as ever and making his parents incredibly happy.

    Bless you Rossana and Michael! Big kisses to that little soccer player please! :) xoxo

    This is the most amount of images that I have ever put in a “storyboard” (on my blog). I love them all, and they remind me of birth photography. Without the clothes. Haha. Isn’t he a charismatic sweetheart?

    Seriously, how happy does this kid look? So content to be in his parents’ arms…

    Brand new mummy…

    And now a slideshow with even more images.

    Huzzah! :)
