{A Surprise For Dad}

Today I met with a family to do a surprise photoshoot for their dad's birthday present. I thought it was such a gorgeous idea (that 'mum' had) to write a message to the kid's dad and to create a canvas out of it as a gift.
The conditions were just perfect at the beach, the first day there hasn't been any wind since about September I think.
Master L, the oldest brother, was a great sport, and tried hard to do everything asked of him, Miss A, the oldest sister, was such a beautiful little lady, Master S, one of the twins was a very energetic, cheeky little fella which kept me on my toes, and little Miss M, the other twin, was a real little sweetheart.
The kids made it a really fun shoot, with sooo many gorgeous shots to choose from. These are just a few of my favourites that I've chosen for your sneak peek. I hope you enjoy it!

Yesterday I met a family who were only in Adelaide for a couple of days and we did an impromptu photoshoot down at the local beach. The weather conditions weren't ideal, it rained and it was quite windy, but there was no time to reschedule.

The kids were little troopers, despite being cold, and we actually managed quite a long photoshoot using lots of different ideas. One of my ideas was to bring my cream, wire birdcage to use as a prop, which probably wasn't one of my better ideas, as it ended up being left at the beach, which I didn't realise until the next morning. Oh well, live and learn!

It was lovely meeting you all, thanks for being good sports during the shoot. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

What a cool little dude. I love that hat!

 There it is, can you see it camouflaged in the grass...hence the problem :(

{Photoshoot winners}

Today I met with a lovely family at one of my favourite locations to do their photoshoot after being the lucky winners of my photo competition I held at the Lollipop markets.
Master M was a great little helper for the day and very co-operative for all his shots, even though I'm sure there would be a million things a 12 year old would rather be doing on a sunday afternoon! And Master C was such a little cutie, he has a smile that would light up a room!
Thanks for meeting me today guys and congratulations on being the lucky winners of a photoshoot! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

{Miss C and Little Miss Z}

Yesterday I had a photoshoot with a family that I have photographed once before, so it was lovely to meet with them again and to see how much the girls had grown!
Unfortunately the day was a dreary, rainy kinda day which made it a bit tricky to do all of the different ideas that I had planned. However we still managed to utilise the beautiful gardens in between the showers of rain and I got some lovely shots of the little ladies before Miss Z decided she'd had enough modelling for the day and had a slight melt down!
It was great to see you all again, I loved spending the morning with you in a very special location. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

{Cousins}

I was so pleased when I woke up this morning to look out the window and find that it was cloudy, overcast and NO WIND! The forecast was for rain, but luckily we didn't get any where we did our photo shoot this morning and I was able to utilise the soft available light, which are conditions I haven't had a lot of lately with the weather getting warmer.
I met up with two families who gave me the challenging task of photographing 9 people all together in one shot, which was actually remarkably easy. I also needed to capture 5 cousins together, 4 of which are under 5 years of age. This proved to be a much harder task! The following photo is by no means a traditionally perfect portrait, but I chose to edit it for your sneak peek because I think it's so natural and cute and displays each child's individual personality.
Thanks for meeting me today guys, I had a lovely time at the park with you all, enjoy your sneak peek!

{Two little lady bugs}

Today I had a great photoshoot with these 2 little ladybugs. We had originally wanted to do the photos at the beach, but with a forecast of hot, sunny, 33 degrees and lots of wind, we decided to do plan B and go down to my favourite spot along the River Torrens instead. The setting was perfect, the wind died down and there was lovely overcast light (not to mention no beach goers in the background).
The girls were lots of fun and had great energy. Little Miss K was so bright and bubbly and just loved the camera, which made my job very easy, and little Miss L was a little more reserved but very co-operative and helpful throughout the shoot. Thanks guys for a lovely afternoon at the park, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
