Smith Family - Botanic Gardens

We had been waiting for a day where it wasn't raining, as it seemed like every time we booked a time to do the family shoot with the Smiths it ended up raining. So finally a few weeks ago we got the chance to meet at the end of a Wednesday in the Botanic Gardens where the sunshine was glorious and warm!
Little Jasmine was not so keen to have her picture taken but we did manage to snap some of her.

Jasmine & Blake's Surprise Wedding

It's not everyday I get to photograph a Surprise Wedding. Jasmine & Blake thought it would be a fabulous idea to catch everyone by surprise at the celebration of his '30th Birthday' - well this is what they were using as the reason to get everyone together! It was arranged that all the guests would be bussed up to Lazy Ballerina Winery where Jasmine & Blake would meet them. On the way apparently they began to twig as to what was about to unfold before them and they were in great spirits as the story unfolded and the truth revealed!
The day was just gorgeous and celebrations carried on at The Barn in McLaren Vale for lunch post ceremony.
Celebrant Bronwyn Lindsay was fantastic as she worked with the heckler in the crowd!

Congratulations Jasmine & Blake!

Spring love

I simply love love love spring time with all the flowers around and the warmer weather! These amazingly frilly wild poppies have begun to grow in my garden again and I simply adore them! I think they are so pretty. It's a pity they don't like to be picked! The gorgeous yellow and orange one is from my mum's garden. Divine!

Meet Eliza

Marissa & Trent were kindly given a photography voucher from some close friends during their pregnancy so they could have baby shots taken when the time  was ready. So 6 months down the track I had the pleasure in capturing Eliza. When I got there she was just waking up and I had forgotten how lovely little babies are when they just wake up - very alert, quiet, smiley & snuggly. She was divine. 

For the next hour or so we set about capturing the 3 of them around the house. Little Eliza was pretty pooped by the end of it but we caught her being her gorgeous little self.

And I hope that every year she's photographed on her beautiful chair so eventually after 21 years they have a collection of shots showing her growth! I LOVE that chair!  

Thanks Marissa & Trent & it was lovely to meet you and Eliza. 

Samantha & Luke's Wedding Day

A few weeks ago Samantha & Luke tied the knot in Victor Harbor. The day was simply gorgeous & the details that Samantha & Luke had put into the day was brilliant! So many details & thought went into the day, it was just lovely & super romantic.
There are so many shots I love from the day & I can't wait to get them onto my website, but in the meantime here is a sneak peek...

Queenie

2 weeks ago I met sweet little Queenie and her mum Jocelyn. Up in the cool air of Aldgate  I literally chased Queenie around while she looked at anything and everything that caught her eye. At 18 months old she is full of energy and it certainly reminded me of how busy a toddler can be! With her Grandparents also there it was fabulous to capture the 4 of them.
