Sweet, sweet baby...

I was so excited to have another birth booked in for the beginning of November.
Preparing myself for 'the' call at any time of the day or night!

But Laura simply wasn't well enough to continue on with the pregnancy.
So at 34 weeks sweet, tiny, little Lily was born.
Into an unknown world.
Where the likelihood of her getting whisked straight to the humidicrib was high.

But Lily had other plans!
She was healthy enough to sneak in 10 minutes of cuddles with Dad, and then she was put into the humidicrib just to monitor her.

So I stayed until Grandma and Grandad got to see Lily for the first time.
Then the next day I went back to capture some mummy cuddles:-)

Three weeks later, Lily had put on enough weight and was allowed to go home :-)  So yesterday I visited them at home for one last lot of photos!

The innocence of youth...

I had the privilege of photographing of a beautiful 12 year old a few weeks ago.

I don't need to say much - the photos say it all :-)

Broome Love :-)

I feel incredibly privileged to have been asked by the super talented Melanie Linklater (from Melanie Linklater Photography) to head to Broome with her to second shoot a wedding.
On film :-)
It doesn't get much better than that!!

We had a fantastic few days....with lots of laughs, photography talk and mini photo shoots!
And we got to photograph an awesome bridal party :-)
It really doesn't get much better than that!!!!!!

And just one behind-the-scenes shot of the very talented Melanie :-)
