January Challenge – Week 3 {Adelaide newborn photographer}

21 days down, 10 to go! I lost my photo mojo somewhere between the end of last week and the start of this one! Howeve I do believe I found it again! I am also fast running out of idea’s to try, but it will all be worth it in the end. I plan on doing up a book of the first 6 weeks of Declan’s life. Makes me feel a little guilty as I have NOTHING like this for the others, but, meh, what can you do!

Day 15 – Caught up with some wonderful friends who were meeting Declan for the first time. We received this gorgeous cloth nappy from one of my friends called Wendy.

Day 16 – A while ago I went through a knitting phase! The beanie and cocoon were a result of my brief, love affair with “looming”

Day 17 & 18 You can see by these photo’s how much he has grown already! I think he has lost his “newborn-ness” :(

Day 19 – The day before (see “awake” picture above) I had had a really hard day with him. Just one of those days where they don’t want to sleep unless you are holding them. Which is fine, if you only have 1, which I don’t! Needless to say I was so relieved when he decided to spend monday sleeping!

Day 20 – today Declan was 4 weeks old! As always with a newborn baby, time has just seemed to vanish! He is a champion little feeder and is packing on the weight nicely! I am also using this shot in the self portrait challenge.

Day 21 – Brothers are “buddies”. Landen is so very proud to have a brother. He is always asking if he can hold him, and is the first one to let me know (just in case I had gone deaf) that Declan had started to cry. I think this photo shows perfectly just how proud he is!

Until next time….

January Challenge Week 2 {Adelaide Newborn Photographer}

Well I have made it to the halfway mark! *YAY*

As predicted my enthusiasm for this challenge has started to wane! However I am hanging in there as I know at the end of the month I will love having an album of Declan’s 1st month.

On Monday I am having a session with a gorgeous little 10 week old so make sure to check back to see him!

Here we have Jan 8 & 9 – doing what Declan does best….. sleeping (during the day at least!)

Jan 10 we had had a BAD night so he slept most of the day! Lucky thing!

Jan 11 – I FINALLY got around to making his birth announcement cards!

Jan 12 – On top of doing the January photo a day challenge I have also decided to take part in the 52 SP challenge. What is that I hear you ask…. well basically it is just 1 photo of yourself (myself) a week. As a mum and photographer I am always behind the camera and there are very few photos of me, let alone me and my kids. As women we don’t value ourselves nearly enough and always think we are “ugly”. We also do a fabulous job at pointing out all our own imperfections. So this challenge aims to break down some of those barriers! Here is my pic for week 2 of this challenge.

Day 13 & 14 Unfortunately now that we have hit the 3 week mark Declan has started to develop the “newborn acne”. I’m not worried as I know it goes away, unfortunately it just doesn’t look any good in coloured photos! LOL

Once again thanks for looking!

Introducing Baby Lucas {Adelaide Newborn Photographer}

Today I had the pleasure of catching up with one of my bestest friends. We met waaaay back in yr 10 and have been pretty much inseparable ever since! Anyways much to our surprise (and delight) we discovered we were both pregnant and due within 2 days of each other! For both of us, one of our concerns was having our babies on christmas day! 

As fate may have it, my little man was born 2 days before christmas, and little Lucas born 2 days after! Aren’t they clever little guys! :)

So here he is…. Baby Lucas!

After having 2 girls I think they are loving the blue!

Look at all his hair! Isn’t the best!

M & S thanks so much for allowing me to photograph the newest member of your family! I can’t wait to watch our boys grow up together!

January Challenge Week 1 {Adelaide Newborn Photographer}

Well it’s that time of year again, and (somewhat stupidly) I have decided to participate in the January Photo A Day Challenge. I always LOVE this so much at the start of the month, but come the end, I am always ready to throw my camera out the window! LOL I’m sure this year will prove to be no exception!

This year, seeing as Declan is so teeny tiny (and can’t run away from me!) I have decided to revolve the challenge around him and his first month or so of life!

January 1.

He partied long and hard into the new year and spent the whole next day sleeping it off! ;)

 

January 2 & 3

Some quality time with Dad and Mum

 

January 4 & 5

It must be hard looking this darn cute all the time

 

January 6 & 7

Chillaxing with the siblings & having a lazy sleepy day.

 

So we will now have to wait and see what the next week brings!
