25.01.2022 Hmm Santa wearing a mask with this group of boys.. best to be safe Always love seeing these boys each year they try to come up with new fun ideas and not just the normal Santa posed photo.. this year was arm wrestling.. I’m pretty sure next year is Santa’s turn for a win so will have to think about it over the next year

25.01.2022 I have a traditional Santa sitting available tomorrow for 11:25am if anyone is interested in taking this slot please contact me. We are fully booked so from now on it will just be cancellation spots available to book.

25.01.2022 Santa at the Beach or Traditional Santa sittings 2020 TROPICAL SANTA - November 15th - November 28th ... - November 29th - December 5th - December 13th (Final Santa date for 2020) TRADITIONAL SANTA - November 28th - December 4th - December 6th - December 12th We have 5 dates left for tropical Santa and 4 dates left for traditional Santa this season so the earlier you can book in the better so you don’t miss out. I’m doing my best to offer these sittings to as many families as possible but I’m just 1 person and also rely on santas availability to pop in from the North Pole when he’s not running the workshop! My beautiful mother and my teenage daughter help with some admin duties but for the most part it’s just little old me. I’m so excited to see everyone and see all the smiles (and some tears) of your little ones (and big ones) and feel honoured that you chose us for your Santa photos this year and hopefully we will see many of you return next year as well. If you haven’t booked yet and would still like to just visit my booking site to check what availability is left. Don’t forget that I send out a reminder text the day before with all of the info about your sitting. https://jlbphotostownsville.simplybook.me/v2/ #townsvillesanta #santaphotos #santaathebeach #townsvillechristmas #booknow #tropicalsanta #armysanta #traditionalsamta #tropicalnorthqueensland

24.01.2022 Booking sit has been updated with the new Santa beach date and a few extra sittings added to current dates :) https://jlbphotostownsville.simplybook.me/v2/#book

24.01.2022 Just a quick note about Santa photos! Because I can only do limited numbers, Santa said he is happy to have little ones (or big kids) sit in his lap or if you would prefer to social distance that option is also available. We will have hand sanitiser to be applied before you meet Santa as well as disinfectant spray to clean surfaces after each client. If you are sick please cancel or rebook for another date. Anyone who arrives who is sick will be turned away. I apologise in a...dvance for this but we are trying to maintain the fun of Santa photos in a safe way. Santa has also had custom masks made to match his suits for anyone wanting a covid Santa.. don’t forget we have our regular Santa at the beach, army Santa at the beach and traditional Santa sittings in studio. Perfect for sensory kids as there’s no lights, crowds, noise, long wait times. Pets are also welcome! Click on the book me button on my page to see available dates and times for the different types of Santa sittings and to book your spot.

23.01.2022 Santa at the Beach! This Sunday is our first round of Santa photos at the beach. I’ve had 2 spots open up for anyone interested. If you are booked in but can no longer make it can you please let me know ASAP so I can make the slots available as I have had many people asking for earlier dates. On Friday/Saturday I will be sending a text to everyone who is booked in with all the location and payment details. I will do this for all Santa sittings... You should also receive a e...mail reminder from the bookings site. (These May go to your junk folder) it will be a very basic set this year with a Aussie flare, Olaf will still attend as he has done since the beginning.. I try to change things up each year so hopefully everyone likes what we have put together for 2020. We even managed to get our hands on a surf board finally!!!! For anyone hoping to get a spot for Sunday please visit my booking site but be quick as the 2 spots that are now available may go quickly. https://jlbphotostownsville.simplybook.me/v2/#book

Once selected I will edit your photos and upload them back into the gallery for you to download. These images will be straight out of camera and won’t look like much till I add a Touch Of magic but you can see my editing style from posted images to get an idea of the end result :) Spots are filling up fast atm and soon I will be booked out.

21.01.2022 I’ve had a few cancelations for tomorrow’s Santa at the beach session. If anyone was wanting to book but couldn’t just go to the booking site and secure your booking :) be quick as they may not last long.

21.01.2022 So far we have had 1 cancellation for this weekends tropical Santa photos.

20.01.2022 I would love it if anyone who has booked with me in the past could leave a review on my booking site. I love getting feedback from everyone and it also helps new clients decide if they would like to book with me or not.. :) if anyone would like to leave a review please click on the link below. Also if you'd like to leave a review on my facebook page that would be awesome and very apricated. https://jlbphotostownsville.simplybook.me/v2/#reviews

20.01.2022 I would like to extend an apology to everyone booked in for Santa photos today. In 7 years I have only ever had to cancel due to bad weather and today is the first time I’ve canceled due to being unwell. Even the year my daughter was born I was down the beach doing SANTA photos with a big belly ready to pop at any moment.. i appreciate all my families and absolutely love my Santa sittings each year. I felt terrible about disappointing everyone but it has brought some things... to attention.. Please make sure your contact details on your bookings are correct! We use these details to contact you with info about your sitting and if anything goes wrong and we need to cancel or make changes. We will also give people a courtesy call if they haven’t arrived for their sitting or notified us of a cancellation before we pack down so we know if we have to wait because somethings happened which has caused you to run late (life happens and we understand) one year there was a bad car accident and half our bookings were stuck in traffic which didn’t clear till nearly 8pm! Thankfully we have been able to reschedule another day for everyone from today and I’m hoping that I won’t be out of action long. Won’t lie I’m debating sending the kids to live with nanna till Christmas season is done so they don’t keep bringing germs home!! They are lucky I love them so much Again I am very sorry for today and thankyou to everyone for being so understanding. Jacqualyn Louise Photography, Santa and the Admin Team.

15.01.2022 I have had a couple of cancellations for Sunday studio Santa, if you are interested in these spots please comment below.

14.01.2022 Sweet Baby Boy.. A few images from a newborn shoot I did just before Christmas.. This little bubba didn't want to play the game.. He didn't want to sleep and didn't like being posed at all so we just let him do his own thing and stretch and wiggle and went for a more natural posing. Some babies just don't like being posed and you have to work with them and what they are happy with.. How adorable are his big beautiful eyes!! He didn't want to miss out on what was going on and just wanted to look around :)

12.01.2022 Mini sets coming together and our Santa set!!

12.01.2022 Sweet baby boy.. Sneak Peek from a recent Newborn shoot with this handsome little guy..

11.01.2022 When you book a beach Santa sitting and the skies turn black we had to change up and do a studio.. thankfully my drop for next year had arrived and worked perfectly for army Santa!! This little cutie just wanted all of the lollipops in Santas treat bag kept going back for more and more lol

10.01.2022 Collages that can be added to your Santa package! If you’d like one of these they are $35 each.. if you’ve already had your sitting please PM me if you are interested in one, otherwise you can let my assistant know when you have your sitting if you’d like to order one with your Santa photos :)

09.01.2022 Hi everyone, if you could all please download your Santa galleries it would be appreciated :) at the end of the month I will be archiving all Santa galleries and there will be a fee if you wish to access them again. Also I still have people who have not chosen their Santa photos, I have sent text and emails but have had no response. If anyone who is yet to select their images could please contact me ASAP so I can finalise all Santa galleries so I can focus on this years sittings :) I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and new year and look forward to seeing all my families again for Santa photos when we start up again this year :)

07.01.2022 Sneak Peek of this little cutie pies Christmas mini session

07.01.2022 Please be patient, I am working as fast as I can and have had some technical issues which hasn’t helped! Currently trying to juggle shooting, editing, my 3 children, and finding time to sleep (roughly 3 hours a night if I’m lucky) having to stop to answer messages every few minutes is slowing down the process. I understand people are excited to get their santa photos and I want to offer beautiful images to everyone.. please be understanding that these things take time and I promise I will get everyone their images as fast as I possibly can.. as you can imagine there is a lot of galleries to get though. I do apologise if they are taking longer than expected. As soon as your images are done I upload them straight away and send out an email to let you know they are ready! Thank you for your understanding and patience. Jacqualyn Louise..

07.01.2022 Still have 8 sittings available for this Saturday’s traditional Santa photos. Spaces and dates are limited so get in early so you don’t miss out! Studio location Kirwan ... Pricing $50 for single digital image or $80 for 3 (Price includes sitting fee) Extra images can be purchased for $15 each, and special collages such as snow globes and ornaments that can also be added to your package. To book please visit my booking site and select the Santa you’d like and the date and time. The day before your sitting I will text with all the location and payment info. If you need to change your booking you can log back in and change your date or times. https://jlbphotostownsville.simplybook.me/v2/#book

06.01.2022 Check out page 5 of today’s paper for a story on my Santa at the beach sittings

06.01.2022 I didn’t want to make this post but now I feel that I have to. I would just like to state again. The cut off to receive images before Christmas was the 20th of December. If you did not get back to my by this date with your choices and payment you will have to wait till after Christmas. I would like to spend time with my family and do Christmas prep which I haven’t had any time to do as I’ve been non stop editing for months. Also with my mother being taken to hospital with hea...rt issues things are even more hectic for our family and my mother’s health and recovery is top priority. After Christmas I will finish off any galleries who have not been done and have only just gotten back to me with their choices and then I will be taking off 2 weeks over New Years as I need a break and some quality time with my children. Sending me rude messages with demands will not help get your images any sooner. Waiting 2 days before Christmas to tell me what photos you would like when you have had weeks to choose is unfair on me. I have spent the past 8 weeks working with little to no sleep and not being able to spend any time with my own children to be able to give families a unique Santa photo and now is my time with them. I apologise if this upsets anyone but I made it clear and sent out reminders with the deadline and it’s not my fault if people ignored this. Again I’m sorry and I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas. Jacqualyn Louise

06.01.2022 Caption this photo!!

05.01.2022 Few shots from out first studio Santa sitting!! Is your little one afraid of Santa but you’d still like a Santa photo? I have a little chair that they can sit in without Santa and I can do a composite image with our Santa portrait to create a Santa photo without the stress! If anyone would be interested in a Santa free Santa photo please comment below! I understand that some kids can’t cope with Santa and the stress it can cause both them and parents so I’m trying to come up with a solution so that you can still enjoy the fun of Santa photos without all the anxiety! With a little bit of magic ;) we can still create a beautiful Santa photo for your family.. :)

04.01.2022 Good news! Because our Santa photos have been so popular this year and our beach Santa sittings have booked out, we are adding another date on nov 28th 4:30pm-6:30pm for tropical Santa. We will also be extending the current bookings by a couple of sittings so people who missed out can still have a chance to get their beach Santa sitting We still have some spots left for traditional Santa in studio but they are also filling up fast so book now so you don’t miss out. I only ...do limited dates and times and the weekend of December 12th-13th is our final weekend as it’s just little old me so to be able to get everything out to you before Christmas I can’t work past this date and it also allows me time with my family for Christmas and prep. :) This weekend Saturday the 14th we have our only Army Santa sitting and there is still a number of spots left. And then Sunday the 15th we have our next round of tropical Santa sittings. I will be adding a couple of extra times to the 15th if anyone was hoping to come down this weekend but missed out. Due to the sun setting later now we can go till 6:30pm and still have enough light and you get those beautiful sunset colours :) Once I have set up the booking site with the added date and times I will post the link again for people to jump on and book.

03.01.2022 I have recently learnt that Microsoft has been blocking emails from my booking site to certain addresses with outlook or Hotmail. This would explain why some have no received their email confirmation. But the good news is that this has now been fixed (thankfully) don’t forget I do text everyone the day before their booking as a reminder and to confirm all the details so please don’t stress :) it is a extremely busy time atm and I am trying My best to get everything done, answer questions, balance family life and still sleep! (I blinked that counts right?) please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are concerned about anything and I will always do my best to answer questions or fix any issues :)

03.01.2022 In November I had the honour of photographing Kaiya’s formal photos along with his close friend Raven. I learnt on the day that Kaiya was battling cancer and it was a miracle that he made it to his formal so it was a major milestone for many reasons.. I was blessed to have the chance to capture these images for Kaiya, Raven and their families. Both are beautiful strong and bright young people and I was touched by the friendship they had as well as the struggles both had over...come in their young lives. Unfortunately after the formal Kaiya became unwell and was admitted into hospital. Sadly Kaiya passed away last night surrounded by his loved ones in his fathers arms. My condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. It was an honour to meet Kaiya even for a brief moment and I will never forget him. Here are some of the images taken of Kaiya and his close friend Raven at their formal with their loved ones. RIP Kaiya...

03.01.2022 Just a quick note, the day before each Santa date I will message everyone booked for that day as a reminder and also include all the details such as location and payment methods :)

At this stage I don’t know if it’s possible to add extra dates but if Santa and I can work out anything I will do a post to let everyone know :)

02.01.2022 Just letting everyone know who’s waiting on photos from Sunday. I have been nursing an ear infection since Monday/Tuesday so haven’t been feeling the best finally picking up today after getting onto antibiotics ASAP! So I apologise if you are still waiting on your photos! All will be good for Saturday as I’m feeling a hell of a lot better than I was Tuesday when I woke up and I’m pretty sure I’m basically over it now :) thank you for your patience and understanding.

These will be massively reduced sittings. Also if there is enough interest I will host another back to school sitting on our school drop for all the little ones starting school

01.01.2022 I would like to thank everyone who supported me this year and came down for Santa photos!! I only have a couple of galleries left to edit and then upload them all today! As of 5pm today my computer is being turned off!! This gives me time to focus on my little family and get our Christmas prep done as I haven’t done anything yet lol! For anyone who hasn’t selected their Santa photos or confirmed and arranged payment plans ect you will have to wait till after Christmas for y...our images. I do apologise for this but we did send out reminder messages informing of deadlines. I would have liked to have everything done beforehand but I can’t finish them till I know what everyone wants first. For the past 2 months I have been working 20 hour days living off no sleep so I officially need a break! And it would be nice to get to know the people I’ve seen walking around my house lol they seem nice and the kids are pretty cute ;) I have loved seeing all my regular Santa families and meeting a lot of new ones!! And I hope to see everyone again next year and am already planing it all out and set designs as well as a special Christmas in July mini sessions of cookie decorating (a fun family candid shoot that can get a little messy but super tasty on my new kitchen drop!! Super excited for these) as well as possibly doing a hot coco sittings in sep/oct before the Christmas rush! Make sure you like my page for all upcoming specials from seasonal minis to kids novelty shoots Look forward to seeing what 2021 brings and seeing everyone throughout the year for all your photography needs!!! Once again thank you and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..

01.01.2022 How adorable does this little prince look! #babyboy #babyblue #newbornphotography #townsvillephotographer

01.01.2022 Want something a little different to go with your Santa photo or Christmas mini? I have a range of add on collages, Facebook cover images and snow globe/Ornament collages as well as some new fun digital backdrops such as a police line up for the "Not so nice" big kids ;) and magical enhancement elements such as the frosted window and glowing book. Here is a few examples of last years extras which are all available plus many more. I will do up a catalogue of what digital add ...on I have available this year with a price guide :) Snow globe/ornaments - $25 each Collages/Facebook cover images - $20 Digital backdrop composites - $50 (these are slightly more complicated to put together and can take some time) Magical enhancements are included in Christmas mini sessions but can be added to Santa photos by request for $5 per image and you will still get the original plus the Magical image.
