Fathers Day Mini Sessions

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I’m now opening bookings for our Father’s Day Mini Session days.

The 2 dates available are:-

Sunday August 9th and Tuesday August 11th
(these book fast so get in quick!!)

$50 mini session fee includes a (5×7 in) print of your choice!!

WHAT DOES A MINI SESSION ENTAIL: you will get a ‘mini’ session with myself. A mini session lasts between 15-20 minutes. All sessions will be at the studio at 81 Poath Rd Murrumbeena 3163 (just down from Chadstone Shopping Centre), all will be a outdoor/location sessions (with one or two indoor shots also). All will involve a little walking (we’ll be doing a location shoot round the park, laneways and closest streets to the studio)

WHAT ARE THE COSTS INVOLVED: Mini sessions cost $50 per time slot. A week or two after the session you will be able to order your images. There are special packages for mini sessions available and all are at heavily discounted rates. Please
email me
or phone for more details (03) 9568 1441 and a price list.

WHO CAN BE PHOTOGRAPHED DURING MINI SESSIONS: these mini sessions are available for children through adults from 5 MONTHS of age through to 99 YEARS or more. These mini sessions are not suitable for newborns or for maternity/pregnancy photography (unless it’s a pregnant mum ‘with’ her children). There are to be no more than 3 people included in each session and all must be of the same immediate family. If you have a larger family or would like more children photographed you are able to book 2 time slots one after the other at $50 per time slot.

WHY A MINI SESSION:
mini sessions are great! They are perfect for past clients to do a ‘top up’ session and get some recent images of their children without the fuss of a full session. They are perfect for NEW clients to ‘try’ the service out and see if they’d like a full session at a later date. They are perfect for getting images of the children or yourself for FATHER’s DAY gifts. They are short and fast and fun.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SESSION: at the end of your session you will make an appointment to come back to view your images and make your selection. This will be approx 1-2 weeks after the session and both day and evening times will be available.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW: email me or phone to secure your session time. Session fees are payable upon booking. Forward this to your friends and family so they too can take advantage of this wonderful offer.

These sessions only happen a few times a year and will book out fast so
email me
or phone (03) 9568 1441 NOW to secure your place!

A little miracle – { Melbourne Newborn Photographer }

Monday, July 20th, 2009

As mum I feel my own children are in ways little miracles, so precious and special. I’m sure as mums we all do. Most of us are fortunate enough to have had babies with no or little complications and I am grateful always for that.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned for some families and some are faced with real challenges, ones that those of us who have had it easy simply can’t really imagine and some babies can only truly be described as ‘little miracles’

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting and photographing one such gorgeous baby recently. Karina contacted me a while back wanting photos of her amazing little girl Sarah. Sarah is truly a ‘little miracle’ and has defied many odds to be here. She really does have a wonderful loving caring mother who takes brilliant care of her. I can’t imagine how life is for Karina and Sarah and their family, but I do know after meeting them, that Sarah is one lucky little baby girl. Her mother just adores her and appears to take her condition in her stride and just loves and cares for her.

You can read more of Sarah’s story in today’s Herald Sun newspaper or read the article online in part here

ABA newborn – {Murrumbeena Baby Photographer}

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Back with more images for the ABA. We were building their photo library for them and they require a large variety of images for many many different uses. We figured shooting a newborn just for them was great and this little sweetie was the perfect little model.

I’ve been shooting/donating time and images ot the ABA since I first started in photography 7 years ago. I have had numerous images used in calendars, greeting cards, displays, mothers direct, their website, for various promos etc. Its really great to be able to donate my time and services to such a wonderful organisation.

Many thanks yet again to all of those wonderful parents, grandparents and especially children, who helped out for the ABA shoot last month. We were able to get hundreds of images for the ABA photo library and lots of nice keepsake images for the mums too.

For those still waiting your discs will be posted out this week sometime for you.

A little snap shot of what we caught on the day. (I’ll share more as the week goes on, so many gorgeous people were there!)
