Cherries, Ice creams and Bunting

Susan Wall — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:03:07 +0000

Friday 9th December 2011. What a stunning, stunning day. This wedding for me felt like “going home”…it was a new and almost odd feeling but one that I absolutely enjoyed.

Jo (a bridesmaid) had her newborn images taken with me only months before and we also went to school together so I knew them well (her daughter is the stunning flower girl). And the beautiful Deonie and I had emails and meeting that were all filled with laughter and fun. I felt so at ease with the whole bridal party. They were fantastic!

The weather was looking great and we enjoyed a stunning location for the vows to be shared. From there perfectly chosen locations were visited and together we made some of my all time favourite images. As a couple Colin and Deonie are fun, romantic and gorgeous. What a beautiful afternoon it really was. You can see for yourself I guess:

Young love many years on!

I met Annette late last year as I had a set up at the local shopping centre. When she let me know that her and Jim were about to celebrate a very special wedding anniversary I went into “romantic overload”. She mentioned that she would love some portraits taken of just the two of them to celebrate – I was beyond excited.

We met on the one sunny day of the week (well it felt like it was raining for days on end) and enjoyed walking through the swamp land and chatting about their lives together. I felt inspired to hear their love and laughter.

Jim and Annette congratulations!

Cuteness now comes in the colour “fluff”

Susan Wall — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:12:42 +0000

A very windy afternoon saw me meet up with this family. The kids were wonderful and enjoyed having their photographs taken. I love it when little people share their photographic ideas and poses – it helps them feel part of the session.

The wind was crazy but we worked with it and decided to let it make the photographs rather then take over them. Together Leon and Kellie have beautiful children who you agree are super cute too!

As we were about to call the session to an end we decided that the newest family member best make a grand appearance. Luckily Leon ran home and bought back the most beautiful colour of fluff

The Best Accessory By Far!

Susan Wall — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:52:19 +0000

Michelle loves accessories, she had so many for her new precious daughter I was impressed. But you will all agree that the most amazing and special accessory she has is her stunning family.

When I heard that Ray and Michelle had 2 older children and a new baby as well my mind went into overdrive. For some time I have been wanting this exact family dynamic to do some different and sweet images with.

All of the children were peaceful and obliging so it made the photo shoot so relaxing and peaceful. Although babies (of course) don’t like to be too shuffled around we didn’t have too many issues there really. A lovely drink of milk and all was well with the world again.

You have to agree that these guys are beautiful:

Energetic and Adventurous

When Katherine came for a consultation regarding her family session she let me know that as a family they are go, go and GO! I thought “well this is great” as I love energetic little people who are fun to follow as they explore.

On a lovely summers afternoon the family sure didn’t disappoint as we went to the beach, the tree (where little “owls” hang out!), the grassy patch (searching for toads), their lovely backyard garden (where there was sand, dirt, trucks, water and so many, many laughs). I literally went home smiling and tired.

I wanted to make a point that only the main “all in including the dog” family image was directed, the rest happened as this lovely connected family went about their normal afternoon. The last two images just remind me of Australia and our summers.

Here they are:

Sun drenched Paddock

As I drove out to Kate and Joe’s property my excitement built. It was a road I had never driven down before and it was a stunning location. The sun was starting to soften and the light was turning into magic.

I pulled up and some very excited puppies greeted me, followed shortly by this gorgeous family you see below. Lachlan was energetic and full of expression and fun, just how I love to see little people behave. Their character shows through and makes for some fun, natural shots.

Here is this precious family who were just adorable!

A loved little sister

Introducing Adisyn who was such a sweet little one to photograph. Just like her beautiful big sister she stole my heart.

Ryan and Marissa – Nielsen’s Beach

Susan Wall — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:30:47 +0000

Ryan and Marissa have actually know each other since (I believe) they were born. They grew up together as their Mothers are still good friends. So this wedding was the official joining of two families who already were very close. It was like attending one big celebration. Everyone was so happy and excited for Marissa and Ryan as they said “I do” at the beach.

The bridal party were wonderful and a delight to spend time with – you have to agree they looked amazing too – and they made the photograph taking easy and joyful.

Ryan and Marissa are very fortunate to belong to strong families who are all very supportive and generous. I know with these people behind them and the beautiful relationship they have they are looking forward to a very long and harmonious marriage together. Congratulations!!

An afternoon playing at the beach

Susan Wall — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:20:04 +0000

I don’t meet people and take photographs. We talk about where to meet, why to meet there and what to do. These little men were very energetic and loved being at the beach. They bought a soccer ball to play with as at this point this is what they do. We need to remember these stages as they do pass much too quickly.

Linnae (Mum) gets family portraits taken regulary and I know the boys will be so thankful to see themselves growing up in these images. Beautiful!!

Tabitha and Peter – Hervey Bay

Tabitha and Peter were married in Hervey Bay on a beautiful afternoon by the beach. Even though it was windy and rain threatened us we were able to stay dry and also get some stunning images on the day.

A naturally sweet, kind and connected couple they were supported by a fun and easy going wedding party. It was a fantastic wedding and together the excitement was building.

To share a wedding day with a couple like Tabitha and Peter is nothing short of a privilege. Thank you to everyone at this wedding for being who you are!
