Precious one, so small, so sweet
Dancing in on angel feet.
Straight from Heaven’s brightest star
What a miracle you are!
Noah Christian. My nephew. This is what love is.

My little dude is 18 months old now! WOW where has that time gone?
When I found out I was pregnant with baby #4 I just assumed he would “fit right in”. I’d been there, done that. I already had 3 kids, seriously what could #4 possibly throw at me that I hadn’t experienced before?
HA!
Little did I know that Declan Jack aka Baby #4 would turn our lives upside down!
It has been hard. Really hard. HE has been hard work. Really hard work. I used to “suck it up” and smile and say “oh he’s just a tad off today”, “ohhh he’s not normally like this”, “he’s just a baby”. And then cry behind closed doors because he’d done little else than scream for the entire day.
A couple of weeks ago I went and saw Sex & The City 2 with some girlfriends. Apart from the fact that I’m possibly one of the biggest SATC fans (I delayed going to the hospital whilst in labour with Kaity as I wanted to watch the end of an episode) it changed my life. Okay that’s rather dramatic, but it at least changed my way of thinking. (For all of you highly uncultured peeps out there who haven’t yet seen it) there is a scene where Charlotte and Miranda talk about how hard it is to be a Mum. Charlotte admits to having to walk away while her baby screams. Yes I KNOW, it’s only a movie! But it was SO GOOD to hear those words spoken out loud!
It made me realise that I can say he’s hard and it doesn’t make me a “bad mum”, doesn’t mean I love him any less. It just means I’m truthful. Because for every “bad” moment. There is a “great” one! When I look at him and he.is.so.friggen.cute.that.i.feel.like.i.can’t,handle.it.and.am.going.to.explode.
Yesterday I needed to have one of the above moments, so I dressed him up and we went to “play”.
His little overalls are gorgeous OOBI BABY ones. Oobi is by far my favourite brand for baby wear!
Then we went in for an outfit change.
Oh winter sun how I love thee!
“Pussy cat is over there”
And just to show you that it wasn’t all smiles….
But he is my little dude and I simply adore him!

Last week I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the beautiful wedding of Ben & Zoe.
I was lucky enough to work alongside my good friend Karen of Karen Pfeiffer Photography Which just helped make the day all the more wonderful!
For a few days beforehand Adelaide had been throwing around some pretty crappy weather. It would be safe to say I was worried! However come this special day and all grey clouds vanished and the sun came out to play.
The attention to detail was just divine. Zoe and Ben got ready on the most cutest little property in Gawler. Full of character.
I shall tease you all today with the details, and save the rest for another day!
Did I mention that Zoe is gorgeously pregnant?
Check back soon for the rest of the images!

Yay! Once again it was time for the fabulous team from Coastlense to get together for another “shoot-shop”. This time our theme was “Grunge”.
We had an amazing line up of models who were just fantastic to work with on the day. If you’re in Adelaide and interested in hooking up with some other photographers, look us up!
Thanks so much to the amazing Cindy Lee for all your effort in setting up all he behind the scenes stuff. As well as Rob for encouraging us all to push our boundaries! *On a side note* Rob’s gorgeous wife Chione is just the most fabulous shoot director you could ask for!
It’s so far removed from what I normally do! So let me know what you think!
And just to show to show that we had fun too…..
Till next time!

I recently had the absolute pleasure of being the “second shooter” at Sahm & Trents gorgeous wedding for the wonderful Merryn of Head In The Clouds.
It was a simply gorgeous day. Kate who is the other half of Head In The Clouds was in the wedding party and was looking mighty fine I might add! 
I was so honoured to not only witness this amazing wedding, but have the honour of capturing it too.
Here are some of my favourites from the day!
After the ceremony Sahm & Trent went for a walk just by themselves. It was so beautiful and romantic. Meanwhile all the guests were asked to find pretty looking rocks and stones to put in a blessing basket for Sahm & Trent.
The bridal party were all so much fun!
Such a gorgeous couple.
Sahm & Trent, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day! It was truely beautiful to witness the love you two share.
Merryn & Kate, thanks for allowing me to tag along with you guys! It was an awesome experience!
