Eve's 18 months!

Today my beautiful baby girl is 18 months old! Eve is such a beautiful, vibrant, cheeky little trouble maker. It's amazing how opposite she and her big sister are, but we wouldn't have it any other way! 

To mark the occasion we spent a quick 20 minutes in the studio capturing the girls as they are, one loving life in a tutu and twirling like a princess, and one trying to eat a bubble stick.

(I don't know if other photographers get this but I find my own kids by far the most challenging to photograph ;-))

Love you to the moon and back my beautiful girls xxx

Maddison's 1st birthday Cake Smash!

A little while ago this gorgeous little girl celebrated her first birthday, and mum Nel wanted to remember the occasion with a cake smash! 

Maddison had a mini mouse party for her birthday so we styled the shoot pink, black and white to suit the mini mouse theme, and mum even made a special t-shirt to complete the look.

As is usually the case with cake smashes, it took Maddison a little while to figure out what to do with the big pink cake that mum and dad put in front of her, but she had fun checking it out and got herself good and messy in the end. 

Happy birthday beautiful girl, we hope to see you next year for your next milestone :-)

Pssst... If you'd like to capture a special time in your little ones lives just check out our Milestone Mini Sessions:

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? ;-)

Why do we do this every year?

Clare's father-in-law, David Silvestro, was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the beginning of 2010. Sadly he lost his battle in mid April 2011. We miss him dreadfully and it makes us value our own dad's and families even more.

Because of this, we have chosen to hold a yearly fundraising event, a family portrait day in honor of Clare's father-in-law to coincide with Father’s Day and at the same time raise money for a VERY worthwhile cause.

PROUDLY SUPPORTING BOWEL CANCER AUSTRALIA,

Our aims are to raise money for Bowel Cancer Australia, as well as to increase the awareness of bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer claims close to 80 lives every week. It is the 2nd biggest cancer killer in Australia, but probably the least well known. The worse thing is, It can be treated successfully in 90 per cent of cases if caught in time, however, by the time you show symptoms it may be too late.

The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program has been put in place in an attempt to help reduce deaths by finding the disease before its too late. The program has saved more than 11,000 lives since bowel cancer screening was introduced in 2006, including my mother-in-law. But the problem is…not many people know about it.
