Letters that make us Smile (2) – {Melbourne child portrait photographer}

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Being an ‘on location’ photographer means we can photographer at a favourite spot of yours, somewhere that has meaning. This family chose a park they frequent regularly, they even name the little bridge after one of the little boys aunts, as they walk over it to visit her. It was my pleasure to meet them at ‘their’ park and create some wonderful heirlooms for them to treasure.

“So back in August, for my 40th birthday, I thought that I might get some pictures taken of my darling little son and his new puppy. Fate, maybe, bought me to Susan, I was nervous about portraits as the few I had gotten done previously (not by Susan) were not very good and this time I was adding a young puppy to the mix, had to spell disaster!

Let me say that on my first contact with Susan she was such a pleasure to talk to that I was automatically at ease and very eager to have the pictures done.

Weather and a bout of illness for my son meant that we had to wait for the pleasure of meeting Susan face to face. After several months Melbourne finally put on some sunny blue skies and we all met down at a lakeside area that my son and puppy know well.

Susan took so many wonderful photos, she was at absolute ease with my son and had so much patience with my puppy. I would like to say that Susan is the ultimate professional but that description does not do her any justice. Susan’s open friendly manner and wonderful eye for a great picture has pleased me more than I could have imagined. I now have some extremely beautiful photos of my son and his little puppy.

I will certainly be going back for future portraits and can highly recommend her excellent services.”

Letters that make us smile (1) {Melbourne Child Photographer}

How lovely it is to receive feedback from our happy customers, whether it be a lovely little email, a phone call to say thanks or a surprise gift at the studio door. We love when our customers are happy. It makes us smile.

I thought it would be lovely to blog some of the feedback we get. So you can smile along with us.

 

“When I decided to have my children photographed, it was never about dressing them up in silly costumes and sitting them in oversized flower pots, or forcing them to sit still through a stiff family portrait session. It was only ever about one thing…. love.

You know that beautifully innocent look that your baby spontaneously gives you which just brings you to your knees. It catches your breath and you melt with overwhelming love. It was this look that I wanted captured forever in a timeless photograph. The photographer I chose would be charged with the enormous responsibility of capturing that look so that for the rest of my life I would fall in love with my children all over again each time I looked at these photos. And even more importantly, I wanted my grown children to see themselves as babies and see in a photo all the love our family shared. When I am gone there will be no words, only these pictures, and I needed them to say that my children were loved, so loved.

And so the photograher I chose was Susan Darcy.

I let Susan into the sanctuary of my family to capture us together in the beautiful simplicity of our everyday life. I trusted her completely with what I wanted and at times during the photoshoot I hardly even noticed she was there. My children loved Susan and we were all relaxed enough to just be ourselves and have fun together.

And there it was. The look. Susan had found it, and when I saw it in her photographs it hit me like a freight train and left me weeping with tears. And I fell in love with my children all over again.

Thank you Susan, for giving my family this timeless and precious gift that we will treasure always. I could not have asked for more.

Donna Maloney.”
