Teleah's Maternity Portrait

Thanks to our joint promotion with the lovely team at Body Firming and Beauty, beautiful Teleah came to see us recently to capture her baby bump less than a week before bub's arrival!

Teleah was absolutely glowing and we are happy to report that just a few days after her portrait session she welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world :-)

If you're wondering if your baby bump could look as gorgeous as this then the answer is Yes! What an amazing thing our bodies do as women during pregnancy, and everything goes back to normal (well, almost ;-)) so quickly you really should capture your amazing bump before it's gone. We are passionate about helping you remember the amazing changes your body is going through, and we use our skill and experience to shape the light and capture you in a way that will make you feel empowered and beautiful, no matter what size or shape you are!

Just check out our maternity and newborn portraits to find out about booking your own session, or let the team at Body Firming and Beauty pamper you with a luxurious pregnancy massage and receive a voucher for a Simply Studio Session with us as their special gift to you :-)

Mums-to-Be Morning Tea - Thanks for a Great Event!

Last week we hosted a gorgeous morning tea for a dozen lovely ladies all expecting a new bundle of joy by the end of the year. We had first time mums, family additions and some very generous local business ladies there to enjoy some yummies and spend the morning treating themselves.The event was an absolute hit and everyone had a great time talking babies and making new friends.

Thanks so much to all who came and made it such an enjoyable morning. Special thanks to Lucy at Body Firming & Beauty for the amazing foot massages, Carrina at Bunbury Counselling, Mel at Kiss Chasee, and Sonya at Bambini Impressions who all came along to chat to our mummies-to-be and help introduce them to the world of motherhood, as well as all the other local businesses who generously donated some treats for our goody bags. We're giving ourselves a big pat on the back too for gifting our guests a lovely belly photo each and for generally hosting such a wonderful morning, and we are hoping to see all our guests back at the studio in the coming months so that we can capture this special time with our special pregnancy & newborn portraits.

Of course you didn't have to be at the event to take advantage of our maternity and newborn sessions, so if you are expecting and would like this special time remembered in the most amazing way, just contact us to find out more!

As for the morning tea, it went so well that we are thinking of making it an annual event, are you coming to the next one? ;-)

Courtney, Anthony, Benjamin and BUMP!

I love it when we get to know a secret...something super special that's just between a few selected awesome people, and us, just for a short time....I got to spend an afternoon with Courtney and Anthony, recording their pregnancy announcement!! YAY! I knew before their family did! (not the grandparents...but the rest of them...)

One Facebook Post later, along with our amazing images, and the world was told...

We also got to have fun with Super Pup  Benjamin...their first baby - around the grounds of Thomas Little Hall in Dardanup, and Courtney's family farm a little further south.

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed spending time with your loved ones :-)The studio has now reopened after a well earned two week Christmas break, and we are hard at work catching up with all our enquiries and gearing up for a very busy upcoming wedding season.

Thank you so much to everyone who came to see us at Bunbury Centrepoint in December to have their photo taken with Santa. You all helped make it a truly enjoyable venture and we hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did!

We hope to see you there again next year and we will be sending out a quick feedback survey very soon, so join our mailing list for your chance to have your say and make sure that next year's Santa Photo experience is even bigger and better than ever!

Here at the studio we have made some important New Year resolutions, and top of our list is to dedicate ourselves to making Clare Day Photographic Design the very best it can be, spoiling our clients, and of course spending quality time with our own families.

The studio will now be closed on Mondays, and open for business 9-5 Tuesday to Friday each week. We are also available on weekends by appointment.

Whether you are getting married, celebrating a new milestone, or simply want to take time out to enjoy yourselves, get in touch. We can create some beautiful memories for you that you will treasure forever.

Here's to a fabulous 2014 - we look forward to sharing it with you!

Check out our new studio!

We realise things have been pretty quiet in blog town lately here at Clare Day but it's not because we haven't been hard at work. In fact it's because we have been soooo hard at work that we just haven't had time!

So many exciting things have been happening that it's hard to even know where to start. But let's try starting here......

INTRODUCING OUR FABULOUS NEW BUNBURY STUDIO!!!

Business is going so well and we love our clients so much that we decided you deserve a beautiful space to come and visit when you come to see us.

And we deserve it too ;-)

Our studio is a classy space full of beautiful smiling faces (on the walls and in the office!) where you can come to see our latest and greatest work, catch up with us, and make big beautiful plans to create amazing memories - from weddings and milestones to all the moments in between.

Of course with such a lovely space at our disposal we thought it would be a shameful waste if we didn't make the very most of it, so stay tuned for our next post...when we'll be introducing you to our awesomely talented new studio photographer Jo!

Our new studio is at 3 Zoe Street, Bunbury - next to Harley Davidson (brrrrmmmmmm.....)

We just love visitors so drop in and see us any time :-)
