Hello April / more of Fritz & Melanie

   Where did this Month go? Where did this week go? It's Friday already! It has been a busy one fore me.

   Between editing and meeting clients and of course being a Mom I can honestly say I have been going non stop this week. I also had a very exciting email today, a bride letting me know she would like to hire me for their wedding on the Sunshine Coast in June! I am VERY excited, it will be beautiful! As I looked at my calender tonight to go over the next week I am realizing it is not going to slow down anytime soon, which is great! This month I have many things to look forward to, more photo sessions, more meetings and of course the most important.. my baby turns 2! In 6 days I will be wishing Grayer a happy birthday and I am happy, but part of me is sad that he is no longer a baby, he is defiantly turning into a little man. I try and take time to treasure every day, every hug, every smile because it is going way to fast.

  I am currently finishing up Fritz & Melanie's engagement pictures so here are a few B&W's I like :)

Baby Serena {sneak peek}

I met 6 day old Serena and her family last week. She did so well and melted my heart. TONS of dark hair and beautiful eyes.
They had a beautiful home so it wasn't hard to get some great shots. Here is a peek!

Stay tuned for more!!

Fritz & Melanie's Engagement {sneak peek}

I met Fritz, Melanie and their little guy Fritz Junior a couple weeks ago to discuss their upcoming wedding in June. We went ahead and planned an engagement session right away and totally lucked out with the weather! The location was the New West Quay, which was a reminder for me as for how far I have come in my business. I did my very first paid job there, so it was neat to think back and where I am now. 

We did it at noon which can be a tricky time for photography since its prime time for the sun in the sky. I however kind of like the challenge since you can get some neat lighting if you pick certain areas, etc. 

Here are just a few! 

Stay tuned for more of this session and more from last week!

Karla & Family {peek}

I met up with Karla again last week to get group pictures of her family. The weather was beautiful! I haven't seen Karla, Danny and Eli since before Christmas for their family session, Eli has grown so much and is adorable!!

I am working on most of the group shots right now but here are some I came across and love!

Stay tuned for more peeks from this session and others from this week!

Baby Ellie {continued}

I am finishing up pictures of Ellie and can't get enough of her. As I was editing the pictures I found myself saying "oh she looks like Sarah here" and "this one really looks like Jimmy". She defiantly has a mix of both Mom and Dad right now. I can't wait to get my hands on her again. Here are some of my favorites.. 

This week has been super busy with family sessions, engagement, newborn and meetings. I am looking forward to more meetings this weekend to discuss wedding details! 

Stay tuned for sneak peeks from the sessions this week!

Holly's Bump {continued}

Is it getting close to wedding season? I think so!  The slow stretch has come to to end I think, the last couple of weeks have defiantly picked up with meetings and photo sessions! 

I am looking forward to an engagement session tomorrow (weather permitting) and a newborn session on Thursday! 

I am just putting the finishing touches on Holly's maternity pictures so here are some of my favorites! Thank you again Holly for letting me capture these special memories and allowing me to use them on the blog :) 

Stay tuned for sneak peeks of upcoming sessions!

Baby Ellie {Sneak Peek}

She's here! She's here!

My friend Sarah finally has her little miracle. I still cannot believe it, it feels like just yesterday we did her maternity pictures.
Ellie arrived 2.5 weeks early and very healthy. I went over today to capture some moments before she starts growing too much. She is so adorable at 3 weeks old, I even got some smiles while I had a good cuddle with her. She did great putting up with us changing outfits and moving her around. After awhile she needed some warm cuddles from her Mom (who is doing awesome).

I love her.

~ The most incredible thing about miracles is that they happen. ~

Stay tuned for more.

Holly's Baby Bump! {Sneak Peek}

I met Holly and Dan on Saturday to capture the special moments of her growing belly! At 34 weeks she is glowing and very excited to meet her little guy. Holly really wanted an indoor shoot, and with the weather we have been having it was a good choice!

I just had time to edit a few this afternoon so here they are! Stay tuned for more.
