Family Portraits - Kingaroy/South Burnett Photographer

When Vanessa contacted me about getting some family portraits done, I was really excited, because she had seen some earlier images taken on our farm and wanted to drive over an hour so they could have some of the gorgeous backdrops we have here in their photographs. I was only too happy to oblige... :)

This is the second time I have shot this growing family....first, when little man C was only a tiny baby. I couldn't believe how grown up the kids were when i saw them again.

The kids had a ball, exploring the wide open spaces, all the treasures a working farm has, and playing with the new addition that arrived just after they did, our puppy.

Here are some of my favourites from the day...

Baby D...

Newborn photography is one of the most precious experiences for me...not only because babies are beautiful, soft and have that lovely baby smell...but as a mother, nothing in this world is more fulfilling than the joy of having brought into this world a precious little person you have had growing inside of you for 9 months. Although my youngest is now 6, I remember the feeling as if it were yesterday....the strong maternal instincts at holding a newborn is something we women are so fortunate to have.

To capture them at this precious age is such a reward in itself...the first two weeks go by in a blur for new mum's (and dad's)...and having beautiful photo's showing how small they really were, are a wonderful reminder of this fleeting moment...


This week, I have the utmost pleasure of photographing little baby D at this tender age, with his mum and dad, Kirstie and Wayne.

Here are some of my favourites from their newborn session -:

Proud dad, Wayne...

Beautiful mum Kirstie...Doesn't she look amazing!! :)

Little D...

Summer is in the air.....

You know its getting close to summer when the flying insects hang around your outside lights at night, when you only sleep with a single sheet over you... when your washing dries in 20 minutes flat on the clothes line!

Here in beautiful Qld, summer has come early and along with the heat, is all the fun that comes along with it...Swimming, summer dresses, long warm afternoons....and lots of bbq's with friends :)

I haven't shared personal photo's for a while...so here are a few that screams summer, fun and family...to me :)

GORGEOUS afternoon light......

Thanks so much for visiting

Matt, Kayci and Zahli

This family shoot is very dear to my heart. This gorgeous little baby and equally as gorgeous parents are my brother Matt and his beautiful wife Kayci. They live on the other side of Australia, and we haven't seen them for over a year now. Since then, they have had little Zahli, who we've been dying to meet since she was born a couple of months ago.
We knew Zahli was a beautiful little baby from the photo's...but seeing her, actually getting to hold her, I got an overwhelming feeling of love straight away for her. Seeing photo's in emails is never the same as seeing them face to face, and being able to hold them in your arms.

Anyway, while here, a little photo session was in order. How can you not capture the love and gorgeousness in their new little family.

Matt and Kayci...Zahli is so precious, and we are going to miss you all terribly...xox

Keith and Renae....Kingaroy/South Burnett Wedding Photographer

Last weekend saw Keith and Renae exchange vows at a beautiful garden ceremony on the outskirts of Kingaroy - Sunny Ridge Gardens. A morning wedding, the Qld sun and heat were out in full force, but the joy, love and excitement shown by everyone attending outshone it all.

The very calm Keith...and his beloved pooch...

Keith and Renae both had their children give them away on the day. Here, Renae's son gets a helping hand to get ready.....

The colour scheme of their wedding was Red, Black and White...my favourite!!

Renae spent the morning getting ready with her very special Grandma. I LOVE this shot of them together...it really shows their close bond....

Instead of exchanging rings, Keith and Renae chose to exchange monogramed necklaces...each wearing the first letter of the other. Beautiful and so very original....

Keith and Renae....

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek Keith and Renae... :)
