Part II of my image a day for the month of January:

#8

Today some friends came over for a play while their Mummy (my beautiful friend) had a day at work. It was such a fun day, with lots of giggles, swimming and an ice-block. Summer and friends are wonderful!

#9

Last year I took a photograph of M, that has still stood as one of my all time favourites of hers. Today we decided to do it similiar, though added a scarf – to compare how much she had grown. She is growing so fast, I am spinning! 

#10

G decided she needed to take a step up in her puzzle collection (she loves them!). So, shopping with Daddy today she got a 500 pieced puzzle!! A shot of us all together, doing the puzzle (still unfinished on day #15!!).

#11

G and her new bike she got for Christmas, just gone. We all went to the new park today!!
All she wanted was a bike with a stand, you know “like the big girls have”. This bike is a 16” (she is about the size of an average 4 year old – though nearly 6), and they don’t come with stands. We got a stand separate and well was she beside herself to get it put on. When she shows friends her new “shiny” bike she says “see my stand” not “see my bike” lol she is the CUTEST!!! 

#12

Today M wanted to play “beauty shops” so we set up a nice day spa in the lounge room! This included facials, hand masks and massages – not too hard to put up with really!

#13

My girls, happy to pose for me – and so beautifully too! 

#14

Cooking time today. On the menu we have: fairy cupcake bites and cinnamon crumble muffins!! Very yummy and very much fun to make!  :)

This morning I got to meet with the *most* gorgeous couple! We discussed the possibility of myself photographing their birth!! 

L and J are such an awesome couple (with a cute baby bump to boot!). And I really hope (and pray!) that all going to plan I can photograph and witness what is one of the most amazing and beautiful events in a couples lives! 

When J said to me over the phone that she had been keeping an image from a magazine of a baby just born (all goopy and all), I knew she and I were on the right track. L and J have given me permission to share the images with you all here on my blog, so be sure to keep checking in for I am sure what is going to be amazing! 

To celebrate the start of a New Year and to help myself and the girls remember the Summer holidays, we are taking an image a day to make a book from. Here are the first week of images:
#1
Georgia was helping me with my 366 project, and I ended up getting this of her when she was chatting away to me

#2
Miranda was still feeling unwell today, so Georgia stepped in again. She wanted to dress up like a doll – make up and all please! Here is her doll face – she is the cutest!

#3
Miranda is so desperate for a puppy. This is “Sasha” who she really treats like a real dog! Sasha has a real bed, bowl and leach!

#4
The girls together, both feeling well again and happy to pose with my black backdrop from today’s client. I love how they are happy to love

#5
Miranda is a huge makeup fan, Georgia now and then has a bit on. Today I walked into Miranda’s room to see her doing Georgia’s makeup. A perfect reflection of their real lives together.

#6
Each day during the holidays the girls take it in turns to choose an activity for us to play. Today Miranda chose to set up a shop, which Georgia and I were happy to shop at! The fruit was beautiful, fresh and so, so cheap!!

#7
This actually wasn’t my first choice for today’s image, but I had to put it up as it was so special. Here is Georgia, by the pool on the phone to her cousin. Her and Zahara are so very close, and Georgia’s face really shows how much she loves her!

#7a
This was my other choice. Today Georgie chose to do board games. We had to play each game twice for some reason? There was Guess Who, Guess Where and Uno Attack. It was great fun!

I’ll be back with more images next week – it really is so wonderful to capture and share the everyday events that happen in our house.

The year of 2008, in images. Here is a video of most of the shots I took through the year:

First of all let me explain the Pepper or Coke title. When beautiful K, D and D came over yesterday I was asking little D if he thought the baby was a boy or a girl. He is pretty adamant of a baby sister But K let me know that D has names chosen out for his brother or sister. Them being Pepper or Coke….oh that is the cutest!!!
Here anyways are a few shots of the amazingly beautiful (and so photogenic!) K, with her baby to be I am so very excited about seeing if this baby is a girl or boy, but more so hearing if D gets his choice in names Thanks for a wonderful morning guys, and a great way to start 2009!
