Unfortunatly it is now too late to have a photo session to have photos back in time for Christmas. BUT it’s not too late to purchase a GIFT CERTIFICATE for friends or family or even for yourself!

Gift certificates start from $250.

To have your Gift Certificate to you in time for Christmas they need to be ordered by December 19th for Hard copies and Digital/emailed Certificates can be sent out right up until December 24th.

My GREEN Link: Green Power

Have you changed to Green power yet? We only did just a week or two ago! Doesn’t cost any more with most suppliers so well worth it! Too easy!

The reason being is I have injured my hip/lower back. I am still mobile (though slow) and am awaiting answers to my care plan from here and will update as things change. At present there is no chance at all that I could chase a toddler or young children around. Maternity pregnancy photo sessions and newborns/ up to 12 months (or the non mobile child) will still be booked. I hope all my clients are understanding of this.I am able to recommend other Melbourne photographers in your area if I am unable to meet your needs so please feel free to email.

During this period I will also be moving to all ‘online’ ordering/ phone consultation ordering.

I thank all my clients past, present and future for their understanding and loyalty during this time.

My GREEN link: Our Water

You can stop laughing now, I am quite serious!

I’ve been training for the last few months, unfortunatly I slacked off a bit over the last month and then with getting sick over the school holidays that didnt help but still I AM going to achieve this! I’m guessing I’ll finish in last place but as long as I finish I will be happy!

The Triathlon Pink series of events are to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer. You can even sponsor me here

Wish me luck! I think I’ll need it!

Another recent session.

Comp has ended and will be drawn over the next day or so.

My GREEN link: Only Oz Groceries.

Online shopping with 100% australian products.

For those hoping to book and have photos back in time for Christmas the time to book is NOW!

There is only a  a limited amount of spaces left prior to November 15th (the cut off date for Christmas sessions) so get in quick.

Thank you also to all of my clients for your patience and understanding with the recent delay in getting galleries online. School holidays were not fun for us with the entire household getting sick, thankfully though now we are healthy and well again and I am almost all up to date again.

I know there are many many clients who have waited for sneak peeks of their sessions, I’ll have to do some extra posts over the coming weeks to share with you all.
