this is the first time i have stopped in the middle of working on photos to come here and post some to my blog. this little baby girl is so sweet, i just couldn't wait! mum and dad worked very hard to get her to sleep, i thought they deserved to have a 'sneak peek' at the photos - rather than wait for them to arrive in the post. i am so grateful that i had the chance to photograph this little one at such an early age. =)

love

i always love a chance to photograph a small baby, but this shoot was even more special with a big sister along. she was such a wonderful big sister - when ever she gave her baby brother a cuddle or a gentle touch on his cheek he settled right down. she didn't really want her photograph taken, but she did it for her brother, and i know one day he will look at this shot and know how much he is loved. =)

canvas

i am so honoured to have been asked by the fanatastic people that do my prints to provide a photo for display in their shop! they would like to do it up as a canvas to give their customers an idea of what a portrait on canvas will look like. i, myself, cannot wait to see what this will look like! they asked specifically that i include the little details - quote, name & age - describing it as my 'signature style'. how cool is that!! =)

stripes

i posted a photo of this baby in the green stripes earlier, but i loved the way the collage turned out so much that i just had to share it. i love that the parents chose such a great range of photos - especially the one of him crying. let's face it, babies do a bit of that, we might as well remember it fondly. the second collage is very similar, just rearranged a little. as i always say, the possibilities are endless =)

cards

one of the things i love to do with photos is create greeting cards. i started doing this for myself because i thought it would be nicer to send a card with a photo of my own child on it rather than someone else's and also to save money - by including the photo on the card i didn't feel obligated to order extra prints to include in the card!

as with making collages, i love making cards because the possibilities are endless! they look so great printed out and i like to think that the recipient loves to have something so special.

i can make a card for any occasion, in any style, in a varety of sizes and layouts, using any photo or even artwork! the cards i have included here have all been printed as 4x6 photos, but i also make 5x7 photos, traditional half-fold cards with a message printed on the inside, and postcard styles with a message on the back. these are just a few of the recent ones i have done, closer to christmas i will post many examples of christmas cards to get you thinking... =)
