25.01.2022 Anyone else getting caught up in online shopping? I know a few friends of mine are too. What I love about the party plan businesses during covid, is that you can have an online party and not even have to worry about cleaning up, catering and making sure the hubby and kids stay quiet. These are just some of the companies I’ve been invited to recently - also had intimo as well. If you see a friend invite you to something like this, get on board and book a party or even buy so...mething. Behind that purchase is a entrepreneur who has a secret little happy dance! And right now, we all need a little happy dance

25.01.2022 This little girl turned 5 today. At the time this photo was taken, Emily let out the most raucous laugh! Took us all by surprise and still makes me laugh today. Happy Birthday Emily (Lauren)

25.01.2022 Sam and I met 8 years ago when our younger 2 started school. Since then, we've shared many moments together - Mother's in law (at one stage), doterra and most recently she completed our photography course for beginner's. We always have so much in common and it was such an honour to be asked to photograph her family. www.inspiredportraits.com.au

24.01.2022 All set up and ready for a new bubby in the studio today. Been a while.. 3 months to be exact!!

24.01.2022 While were not taking on portrait clients right now due to covid-19, we are busier than ever with commercial work. Website imagery, branded portraits, headshots and product photography - give us a call to see how we can help you - @inspired commercial photography

24.01.2022 These photos are from late last year when Carmen asked me to photograph her family. We had 4 generations of the Littlley to capture. These kind of sessions are definitely a fav of ours as we love seeing how everyone interracts with each other. From Great Grandfather to grandson - these memories are priceless. These two boys are the apple of Carmens eye and to see her with them, truly made my heart smile. When you know someone professionally and then see them melt with th...eir grandkids, you see them from a different perspective. James and Henry are just gorgeous boys! This piece of artwork is part of our Monaco Collection. Its one piece of artwork with 7 openings. Perfect for families!

24.01.2022 For some time now, Ive wanted to work with Jamie from Jamie Lee Photography. We finally sorted out a date and yesterday I was lucky enough to do some newborn mentoring with her. As a Registered Midwife, I wanted to be able to rock this part of my business and who better to ask than the best in the business I wanted to work on posing and wrapping in props. We had so much fun with the most gorgeous, settled babies Ive ever worked with. Get ready for some up coming model... calls so I can practise my new found skills. Thank you Jamie for your patience, knowledge and confidence in me. I am so grateful!!

23.01.2022 Introducing : *N*O*A* - 4 weeks young. She made me work hard today, spending majority of the session awake like this. I love the look of wonder on her face - SO sweet!... ** Still looking for a model for next Wednesday - details are in the comments section. If you fit the criteria, please get in contact asap! **

22.01.2022 Today is International Dog day! This is our boy Ralph. Probably the only one enjoying lockdown 2.0 in our house! Share a picture of your beloved dog

22.01.2022 ** SCHOOL PHOTOS 2020 ** You've asked, we've listened! I think we can all agree that this year has been a sh*t show! With all the home schooling, many kids have missed out on their annual school photos. Some are even particularly special, being either a preppy, Yr 6, first year of high school or even a Yr 12 student.... So, with current restrictions still a little vague for photographers, we're opening bookings for end of October and of course, should we need to, reschedule as required. Prices: - One child $40 - Two children $78 - Each additional child (after 2 children) is charged at $30 per child. Includes: - One portrait photo per child - one sibling photo per family - limited bookings available - Photos will be supplied via digital download ** For bookings, comment below or send us a PM **

22.01.2022 Set the alarm for 9am tomorrow - 25% off studio wide! Send us a PM to make your booking

22.01.2022 These two gorgeous girls remind me of my sister and I. Best friends now, but when we were kids.. we fought like cat and dog! The worst thing I ever did was body slam her to the ground - thought I'd killed her lol Tell us your childhood bitch fights

21.01.2022 Happy New Year to you!! What a ride 2020 was.. good and oh so bad in many ways #coronavirus Wishing you all a prosperous and healthy 2021 from the team at Inspired Portraits. Kristie xx

21.01.2022 I absolutely ADORE black and white, contrasty photographs. They are timeless and simply gorgeous. Here is a photo of our divine model from last weeks mentoring with Jamie Lee Photography - Elly <3 What do you think about the B&W style? Is it a winner or not?

20.01.2022 Introducing Bobby! Possibly the coolest name ever.. So happy to welcome Hayley and Hayden into the studio after waiting so patiently post covid-19 restrictions. ... Your gorgeous album is on its way!

20.01.2022 Let talk Christmas mini designs.. Thinking of a new backdrop for this year. What are your thoughts? 1,2 or 3? Would love your feedback. ... Thanks in advance

20.01.2022 Zuri and Xavier are best of friends, sharing a very special bond. Dogs make the best therapy for people - just like our Ralph www.inspiredportraits.com.au

20.01.2022 I wish that back when I was pregnant that having maternity photos was more prevalent. I would love nothing more now to look back at a gorgeous album or artwork of myself carrying my two children. Having said that, I hated being pregnant! My sister took 2 photos of me when I was pregnant with both of the kids, reminding me that one day, I would be grateful. That day took a few years but Im glad to show the kids now. When Simone asked me to photograph her pregnancy earlier in ...the year (pre covid), she asked for a setting that was green with lots of trees. I immediately thought of Kings Park in Essendon. Funnily enough, this is where they had their wedding photos! It then held so much more meaning for them as a couple, and family to be. This piece of artwork is from our Caron Range. It comprises of 3 separate pieces of artwork and can be finished in either canvas, metal or acrylic. They can be put side by side to form a collection or placed individually around the house. A great reminder for her of how gorgeously stunning she looked whilst pregnant. Annnddd.. she made the black dress herself! How talented is that?!

19.01.2022 Beautiful girls! For your portrait session in 2021 - give us a call 9741 9587 www.inspiredportraits.com.au

19.01.2022 Only a couple of spots remaining for our School Photo mini sessions!! Please send us your email address to confirm your spot.

19.01.2022 Quite possibly the least favourite part of having a studio.. the clean up! Im very messy when I work and sometimes I have to leave it for a few hours before I can come back to clean up. Especially after a newborn. And yes.. there is a vacuum change in the middle as my Dyson went flat

18.01.2022 So.. after almost 3 months of remote learning, the kids are back at school! Congratulations!! It was a hard slog for many. From learning new systems, new curriculum, being together 24/7, stepping in as the teacher and guiding ourselves and our kids through unchartered waters. We made it. ... Huge props to my kids school, @bacchus marsh grammar. The teachers were nothing short of amazing in their efforts to produce online classes. Something they werent prepared for but made the experience effortless and professional. The emotional support was fantastic for my kids and Im extremely grateful for that. Thank you

17.01.2022 Ooohhh.. its hump day!! Middle of the week is here folks. Only a few more days until its the weekend. We visited Wyndham Park the other day. Anyone been there yet? It was very impressive with lots of seating, awesome park equipment for any ages. Mine are 12&15 and had a ball. Definitely a place were planning for friend gatherings and picnics. Its so high class that you feel like youre in a park in Melbourne! ... Well done Wyndham City Living! Thank you

17.01.2022 SO nice to be back working - never realised how much I miss my camera when Im not working. If anyone has ever phoned Ones & Twos Plumbing / Gas Fitting, they would have spoken with Michelle. She has such a lovely, caring tone to her voice. Nothing is too big, or too small. Always there to help! We spent yesterday getting some photos organised for their website that will be up and running very soon! ... For more info on our commercial work - head over to Inspired Commercial Photography. We have heaps of photos of recent jobs.. dont forget to give us some love too!

17.01.2022 Just a Dad and his 4 daughters.. www.inspiredportraits.com.au

17.01.2022 Do you have a set of digital files in your drawer, on your computer or even on your phone, that youve never printed? I think were all guilty of that I know I have thousands of photos of my kids when they were little on my PC now. As I think about updating my computer, all I can think about is ensuring that I download them safely to an external hard-drive. The thing is; this isnt a solution. Software ultimately has a shelf life and the thought of losing them is heartbr...eaking. Imagine having something this beautiful on your wall to celebrate your new baby. This collection is part of our Florence Range. A beautiful finish of either metal, acrylic or framed canvas. Just one of our many samples in our studio. If you have photos that youve never done something with, get in contact with us. We can help you put those loving memories into art pieces that can be passed through the generations.

16.01.2022 *INS-PO coming out of ISO * Day 64: Mums little helper.. Couldnt be more excited to get into the studio today and out of the drama that is the bathroom repair. ... Benefits of online learning is you have a model to get your lighting right before the client arrives. Taras supposed to be in sport class right now so shes decided to get her blades on and skate around the house. As I asked her to sit there and smile, she gave me the weird cheese smile. I told her to smile properly (as only a mother does) and said something very inappropriate.. which grossed her out and gave me the reaction I was looking for! For more info on how to book commercial work, head over to our commercial brand - Inspired commercial photography (www.facebook.com/inspiredcommercial )

16.01.2022 *INS-PO in ISO* Day 57: bathroom repair cont.. For those of you following along at home.. the saga continues. ... This started in February. Mould and dampness fixed. Moved onto the repair process only to be halted by a dodgy builder who has basically stuffed up everything! After an assessor came in, a new trade was assigned, everything began yesterday to fix up prior mistakes. But.... Hit a massive snag today! The steal brace that supports the wall was cut by the previous builder and now leaves this wall unsupported. The news today is; Brakes put on the job. Variances to be put in with Insurance company, props to make the space safe, Buidling surveyor, drawings, permits and plans through the council. Potential 3-4 week delay. Cue the water works Now accepting alcohol and hugs.. virtually of course

14.01.2022 Whats that you say?? 37 babies in 72 hours The pandemic certainly hasnt slowed down the baby business! haha This little boy has been a welcomed addition to his family and after having to postpone during lockdown, we were finally able to photograph him last week. ...

08.01.2022 *INS-PO in ISO* Day 58: old TV adverts.. Ok so, after 8 weeks in ISO and the light at the end of the tunnel, I saw this posted on another page last night. Have to say, it made me think of SO many ads from when I was a kid. ... See how many we can name without naming the actual product. Ill start.. My Dad picks the fruit that goes to.. (cottees cordial ad)... AND GO!!

08.01.2022 *INS-PO coming out of ISO* Day 61: Family.. Got to spend the day with my Aunty, sister, niece and nephew today. So nice to have everyone in one room again!... Were coming out of isolation and I cannot wait. Sleepovers, friends all together, family gatherings, being able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant. The things we all took for granted. The first thing Ill do when everything opens like normal is.. ??

01.01.2022 We added this photo to our monthly newsletter this week. It's all about 'US' in ISO.. Going from top left->bottom right.. 1. Scott (my husband) allowing my daughter Tara to put clairol in his hair for Father's Day. I think she's been telling him for 3 years now that he needed some cover up after seeing it on a ad whilst in America. Laughed my head off with that one! 2. Father's day gift bag for Scott, complete with the clairol ... 3. We've had a few ISO bdays this month and haven't been able to catch up so we started a zoom party instead. Kids all organised a 'Kahoot' which I highly recommend. So much fun and if you can't visit people, it's the next best thing 4. Our dog Ralph - has been busy digging to China the last few months. Don't know why because for the first year of his life, we were all busy working. Now that we're all home, he's making a mess of our garden! This was one of the times he was in trouble - still cute as though! 5. The irony of this next photo is not lost on me! Ordered a desk for my kids in mid July as we only had the kitchen table for them to work on. They arrived this week - the day our school announced that they would return to campus learning. HUGE there! 6. An oldie but a goodie - circa 1995 when my husband and I first met. I'm not taller than him in real life but I love that we're younger, skinnier and not a care in the world!! Show us your ISO week.. love to see your photos too - Kristie x
