22.01.2022 Tanya... you are amazing x

21.01.2022 Sadly, the Matriarch of the O’Sullivan Family passed away Sunday. I was blessed to be welcomed and gifted with so much love from this beautiful, kind, loving little firecracker. Im thankful that last year I took some photos at her 90th, with her children, each of her children’s families, her grandchildren and great grandchildren. As you can see I’ve included one of my two poppets with Grandma! Grandma Margaret is so very missed.

20.01.2022 Today, I got to capture my gorgeous friends family portraits. Little Miss Schitnzel, recently became the newest member of the family, so, we decided it was time to capture them as a family of four :)

19.01.2022 I think these two little men are pretty smitten with their new baby sister. She will be one well protected little Miss with two adoring big brothers!

18.01.2022 It’s a wrap! 2020 Christmas themed mini sessions done and dusted! It was great to see everyone and I loved all the puppy cuddles!!

18.01.2022 I love it when my old scholar bubs come back and bring with them, their new baby brother or sister. Master N, was so excited to introduce me to his little sister Miss M :) He asked at the end of the session if I could pick him up and asked if he can come and see me again <3 What a sweetie :) Here is Miss M and her proud big brother Master N.

17.01.2022 Sneak Peek one for tonight with a sweet babe coming up shortly! This gorgeous family have been having family portraits with me since little miss M was just a week old! Look at the gorgeous big girl she is now :) I am so very blessed to have so many repeat clients. I love seeing little ones grow and change and personalities develop. I hope you love this years family photos.... I love capturing formal and candid photos ...you can see the love and joy in the candid shots. I love having candid photos up in my walls :)

17.01.2022 Sneak Preview :) Three gorgeous ladies. How lucky am I to have photographed these girls 4 times now :) Congratulations B and T on the safe arrival of little Miss M xx

17.01.2022 I love capturing portraits that show real emotions, real connection, love and fun :)

16.01.2022 I am so thankful to these families for booking their blossom sessions with me! Even more so is the fact that almost all of them, are return clients, who come year after year for portraits. It really makes my heart smile :) Feel free to share my work but please refrain from editing and altering it in anyway :)

16.01.2022 How gorgeous is this little lady This pretty little poppet has three stunning big sisters who, not only dote on her, but are like built in Nanny’s as they are 17,15 & 12! This session was a little different from my usual sessions as it was all done in the comfort of Mum and Dads bedroom and reading nook on the couch! ... I think they turned out fab

16.01.2022 Here is a little sneaky peek for this gorgeous Mumma :) I hope you love them. Wendy x

15.01.2022 How gorgeous is this little man :) Mummy and Daddy had a few requests for shots...including my little aeroplane. Please note, Master X was held at all times by Dad and I. This photo is a composed photo using several shots to create what you see here. I hope you love your little preview Aden and Jess :) ... Feel free to share my work but please refrain from editing and altering it in anyway :)

15.01.2022 Capturing families as they grow, is one of my favourite parts of being a photographer. It's even better, when it's part of your extended family. Jess and Nathan, I can't wait to meet your little one. I hope you love what we captured.

15.01.2022 Princess A and her gorgeous Mummy and Daddy. I was lucky enough to photography Olivia and Jake's wedding last year :) What a cute little family they are.

14.01.2022 I have one spot left at 11:15am Each little poppet attending photos gets a yummy blossom cookie!

14.01.2022 Today my family said goodbye to my beautiful Grandma and celebrated her life. Sadly, this cheeky, sassy, loving, kind, overly generous and beautiful Grandma, great Grandma, Mum, sister, Aunty and all round amazing person, unfurled her wings and took her last breath on Sunday. To say my heart is broken seems not a strong enough way to express how much my heart hurts! Please bare with me as I grieve. I will notify families as soon as galleries are completed. Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight! Xx

14.01.2022 2020 was challenging for everyone, but these guys are nothing short of amazing! Craig is a FIFO worker and due to Covid, he has been home a total of 31 days since the beginning of 2020. Craig heads off to work again in a few short days and hopes that this time he is only away for 4 weeks instead of 11 months. Krystie has managed a house, two very busy little poppets and worked, while keeping her family together via FaceTime. You are all amazing. Thanks for letting me captur...e updated family portraits for you. Then, (pre Covid) ....... and now!

13.01.2022 Each year, I do a couple of free sessions for families touched by cancer. On Sunday, I met little Knox and his lovely family for some family photos in the forest. Knox is just 3 years old. He is bright, funny and full of spirit. If you tell him to not smile, fits of giggles follow quickly after a sweet smile. Here is a little of his story.... On the 25 April 2020 Knox was diagnosed with T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. The only symptoms he had were swollen lymph nodes in his neck and a lot of bruising over his body. Now anyone who knows Knox, is aware of how far he pushes his limits. So, bruising is not an unusual thing (haha!). But mum and dad were a bit worried about them so decided to get them checked. Knox had a blood test early on Anzac Day morning and within an hour of getting home from the hospital, we received the worst phone call of our lives. Knox was required back at the Women's and Children's Hospital immediately as he was showing markers for Leukaemia. We are still reeling from this diagnosis and somehow it still does not seem like reality. To fight this, he will begin with intensive chemotherapy for one month, which involves treatment every second day. He will then enter the remission stage which involves weekly chemotherapy and will last for 6-8 months. He will then move to maintenance which is monthly chemotherapy for another 2 years. This treatment has a 90% cure rate, and Knox has a lot of factors in his favour. We have decided to start this go fund me, to help Knox FIGHT and BEAT this cancer. It will be used for purchasing medical equipment and supplies, car parking and associated costs of getting to and from the Women's and Children's Hospital multiple times per week, assisting with essential bills and food, and perhaps the most critical of all of these to attempt to give Knox and Lyla some joy in this time where there is no certainty or normality. Join us in Team Knox and lets help our champion defeat this disease. (borrowed from the go fund me page). Knox is the sweetest little man. Knox has already lost his beautiful blonde hair and his body aches. He sleeps most of the day/night and is only awake for short periods. During our session, little Knox fell asleep. I took a couple of snuggly blankets and some pretty cushions for him to sit on, with the aim of helping him feel a little more comfortable during the session. At one point he snuggled up o the cushions and soon fell asleep. It was so precious and so sad to see such a sweet little man having to face such a horrendous battle. If you have a spare $10 to pop to this family it would help so very much. Mum has quit her job as Knox will endure 2 years of chemotherapy and need constant care, love and support to fight this battle. https://www.gofundme.com/f/team-knox-fight-against-al-leuka

13.01.2022 Splash like no ones watching:)

11.01.2022 I love it when clients bring in special treasures that mean a lot to their family. It makes the photos I capture even more meaningful :) Meet little Miss N, she is a snuggle bunny! She is featured in the floral wreath with a memorial card of someone very important to her Daddy, and the person whose name she carries on with her. I hope you love these Allie and Cam xx

11.01.2022 Sometimes, when it comes to cake smash sessions, little ones like Miss A, aren't really keen on the whole getting messy thing! So, we captured some pre-smash shots to try and warm Miss A to the idea of the cake smash, but alas, she wasn't a huge fan and thought painting with the icing was a better option than smashing the cake. However, this little poppets bubble splash game is amazing. I have not gotten so wet or laughed at a bubble splash, so much I will share the splas...h tomorrow night For now, here are so cute shots of the "warm up to modelling" part!

11.01.2022 Editing some pretties! Then onto some cuteness

10.01.2022 Each of the little poppets joining me at the blossoms will get a gorgeous, super yummy, blossom cookie for all their glorious smiles! Thanks to Sweet Tucker by Amy xx www.sweettuckerbyamy.com

10.01.2022 I recently got to work with this gorgeous couple on their wedding day. It was rather wet, but they did not let that get in the way of them having a glorious day Sinclairs Gully Congratulations Wai and Vin

09.01.2022 Whoops, I totally forgot to pop these up for your viewing pleasure. Miss A having a ball doing her bubble splash and not totally hating her cake smash :)

09.01.2022 Recently a post was put up on a wedding forum stating that suppliers had booked a couple for their wedding but upon realizing that couple were gay, refused the services. As a result, this gorgeous logo was developed! I will proudly display this logo on my page and website as LOVE is LOVE! I have family and friends within the LGBTIQA+ community and love each and every one. I was so happy and proud of the wider community, when it was finally legal for LGBTIQA+ couples to get married!

08.01.2022 These two are seriously busy little people, so busy sitting still is rather challenging for master 4! Yet, here they are having some of the cutest portraits together....bribes of pancakes may have been promised :)

08.01.2022 Little miss N wasn’t feeling so flash when we did her 6 months session. She had two, big, mean teeth trying to push their way through, so she was feeling rather sad and sore,...but how cute is she in these shots :)

07.01.2022 How gorgeous is this little lady :) She was so weeny and so snuggly! I was quite clucky by the end of her session! I am 43...clucky is no longer allowed hahah :)

07.01.2022 Sadly we will need to postpone photos over the next week or so due to the lock down. Stay safe. I will keep you in the loop regarding new dates.

06.01.2022 Ok get ready for a long read.... last night I came across a lovely couple living rough and along with Jade from Flint Community Care we are trying to help Kerry and Shaun. Here is my post from last night! Jade and I along with Kerry were interviewed on ABC radio. If anyone can spare a few dollars for the lady sitting by Mount Barker woolies with her dogs. She has been living in her car but had her windscreen smashed. I gave what I had in my purse and grabbed some treats and... water for her dogs. She needs $ to get her windscreen fixed. UPDATE 4! we would love 2 Kmart vouchers, 1 for kerry and Sean as we have just organised them a shower and it will be great if they had some warm clean clothes. 1 X voucher for the young man he is under 25 but we have found accommodation for for two nights thanks to a generous community member donating some finance! Update, Update 3: we have had $220 donated so far! $145 was used to fix the power steering on the car. We’ve had two waterproof warm coats donated for the dogs and Bruce from burnside has offered to donate towards the tyres. Now to get funds to get the car serviced and the woofies to the vet! UPDATE 2: the car repairs and tyres are $465 the windscreen will be approximately $200 to replace. Cash donations to Flint Community Care will be much appreciated! Please see the bank details below! Update: The wonderful Jade of Flint Community Care has offered to assist me in coordinating the things Kerry and Shaun need. Please send donations via osko payments where possible, offers of services and goods donations to Flint. The aim now is to get a new windscreen, the car serviced, new tyres, the defect notice paid for and removed and to get adequate gift vouchers for Kerry and Shaun to purchase some warm clothing, accommodation and last but not least to get their dogs seen by a vet for a check up. There is also a young lad who has just found himself without a home who is not yet 25 and living rough. So any extras can help him too! These are the things that can help people doing it tough as well as Kerry and Shaun. Donations to Flint Community Care BSB 633000 Account No. 175422849 Reference: K&S car They need: - A mechanic to come to do full service - New Tyers - windscreen replaced - gift vouchers for Kmart - $20 towards showers - Ventolin puffer - 4 X silver windscreen covers - petrol vouchers - 2 X swags - power banks for phones. - financial donations to pay for a vet to give the dogs a good check up and any meds they may need. - accommodation that will take two beautiful dogs! My son met these babies today and they are so very placid! He and I gave them lots of belly rubs! Please comment to this post if you can help and we will message you back, it's taking awhile to get back to everyone please be patient We are so thankful for everything everyone is doing and would love people to extend their support to others like us living rough - Kerry and Shaun!

01.01.2022 On Sunday, I also photographed Charlotte and her gorgeous Mummy Tanya. I met these amazing girls a few years ago, just prior to Charlottes first birthday. There was going to be a big teddy bears picnic to celebrate Charlotte's first lap around the sun, her 1st birthday. Sadly, Charlotte's Daddy, the gorgeous Ryan, was very sick with bowel cancer, so, a surprise wedding was to also be held at Charlotte's birthday party. Tears flowed freely as everyone congratulated Ryan and ...Tanya on their Wedding and celebrated Charlottes birthday, all while knowing that Ryan's time was not long for this world and he was soon to gain his wings. Ryan was such a wonderful bloke...writing this has me sobbing, he was a beautiful soul and great fun. I was lucky enough to have met Ryan and become friends with him and Tanya. Ryan's life celebration gift has been attached to my wall since the day we all said our goodbyes. Ryan's cheeky grin watches over me as I edit. I promised Ryan I would stay in contact with his girls and take photos of them from time to time. I have also attended a few of Charlottes birthday parties as she has grown into the beautiful little lady in these photos. There are a few shots where you can see Tanya's legs as she plays with Charlotte with the help of my son Lachie. I kept Tanya's legs in the shots as Charlotte will know, when she is a big girl, that her mum is standing right there playing with her and that her Daddy is always the brightest star looking over her. xx RIP Ryan x
