This is my daughter with a butterfly sitting on her cheek for 20 mins!! This photo just captures her with her quiet pride and joy, her gentle smile and her always sparkling eyes.
Now that it is starting to cool down a bit I am taking bookings for locations shoots (before it gets to cool and I'll just want to stay in the toasty studio with the newborn babies). Have a look here for some inspiration, all the children on this page came to the studio as newborn babies and I have delighted in seeing them grow up. If you have not come to the studio with your child as a newborn you are still welcome to do a location shoot, and of course if you have I would love to see how your little one is growing up.

My son started High School yesterday- I think he was more ready than me.
One minute he's my little baby, snug and safe in my belly. Then out into the world they come and gradually bet ever so fast, they grow up, in the blink of an eye, when you weren't watching. You try to watch, not to take your eyes off, not to miss a thing, yet somehow they still manage to grow, and not only grow but grow up and probably while you were busy loading the dishwasher or just juggling all the balls in the air.
I didn't realise how much his finishing primary school was going to floor me, it really knocked the emotional wind out of me. Then yesterday in his new school uniform, with his new bag and new hair cut he is off into a new world, a world of independence and big kids, a world that will bridge him from childhood to adulthood- how scary is that for a mother who can no longer deny that her babies are growing up.
It is at these moments when I feel I've lost something that will never be again that I the most grateful to have such beautiful mementos to jog my memories such as videos, kindy artworks proudly framed in the kitchen, a handmade Mother's Day card, a favorite t-shirt that I can no longer imagine fitting him, and the photos, especially the photos.
These two gorgeous little ones brought their new brother all the way from Hong Kong to come and have Newlife photos taken. Aren't they delicious!!
While this photo here shows more of the children, it is the one below that we all loved the best (that is the parents and I). It is full of emotion, and love, and a tinsy squishy bit of reality:
Having a baby is both one of the most common and at the same time unique things you can do. We all experience its trials and joys differently but are all changed by the experience. I have started this segment of Conversations with Mamas in order to share, to learn and to celebrate our Motherhood and how it changes our working and creative lives. To kick off meet Anna and her beautiful family.
How has becoming a mother influenced your working life?
If I wasn’t a mother I doubt I’d be doing the work I am. It was when I became a parent I realised my choice of job should be something that would make a real difference to them and their world down the track, not just bring a pay cheque in.
