Storyboards

Storyboards are a great way to make art from your photographs with one easy print of a number of photographs. My favourite size is 10*20 as it isn’t too big and also allows for 3 nice 5*7′s to be displayed. They show a story – and a theme at times of the subject. Here are two examples below. ‘S’ @ 37 weeks and Mr L with his Mum and Dad. Let me know what you all think of this great way of showing off your beautiful family:

Newbies – how old?

When a Mum contacts me to let me know that she wants newborn photographs taken once the baby is born it is so important to answer “when to do the shoot?”. A lot of parents are surprised at how young and soon I like to photograph their babies. Of course, this depends on what it is the family are after in the way of shots. But newborn babies between 7-10 days are in that ‘zombie’ age. That age where they settle back to sleep easily (fingers crossed!); don’t seem to have as much hormonal rashes and they still curl a lot like how they were in the womb. So, if you want to know how old for shots like the following, the answer from little ol’ me is 7-10 days if possible. Enjoy – here is baby ‘B’ at 7 days old and too adorable also!

More bumps and bellies

It seems like a lot of Mums are pregnant at the moment – that is fine by me as I adore pregnancy shoots! Such a special event to be part of. Today I had the pleasure of photographing S, B and J with their baby bump in there too (who isn’t too far off arriving either!). Thanks so much for a great and fun morning guys. All the best with the birth B – I am sure it will be a wonderful experience for you. Here is a sneak peak (oh and I promise some colour in your prints too!):

Well, this is about me then:

1. I am claustrophobic, sometimes just the thought of being in a closed space can send me a bit hmm crazy. I am getting better it seems, I just don’t let myself think about it when I am such situations. I will never go scuba-diving again though – let me tell you that! Too much!!

2. My brothers and (twin) sister don’t call me by my name. Although we are aged from our late 20′s to 30′s we still call each other our childhood nicknames. I am DUDE – bizarre hey! Apparently my sister couldn’t say Suse :)

3. I have an extra bit of skin on my right ear – my cousin was blessed enough to get it too LOL

4. I once played the flute – I got close to sitting the exams to allow me to then teach it. But gave up once it became a chore instead of an enjoyment. I still have it. My DD M loves to play the violin while I attempt to remember the flute :)

5. I am determined to see the San Francisco bridge – I love seeing it all lit up in movies.

6. I met my husband when I was 12, not knowing his name or anything about him I told my friend I was going to marry him…..we were married 7 years later :) I was 19! Love him to bits.

So, that is about me. I thought I would add a self portrait too. Here firstly are my 6 tags though:

Fun and play while away!

I was so excited to know that whilst away I was still going to get the chance for a family photoshoot. My sister knows R, K and L and they were willing to have a photoshoot with me. It was a very quick shoot as L was really just wanting to play with all the other kids (can’t blame him there!) and we all stayed for a great BBQ on the beach…And I mean literally ON the beach. My BIL and DH dragged the BBQ onto the sand!!! It was a great evening and a heap of fun. Here is a sneak peek for you R and K – thanks again :)
