Some serious cuteness is about to follow. Serious and major cuteness….

This cute little guy came to visit me today for some baby shots. He is 8 weeks old now. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to do newborn shots because this poor little guy was really sick after he was born and spent the first 6 or so weeks or so of his life in hospital. Winston’s mum, Jess, is my cousin. In an uncanny twist of fate, both my sister and cousin went into labour on the SAME day, SAME hospital. How cool is that? Very cool, I think… They even shared a room after the babes were born. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone at visiting time!

Today it was great to catch up with the two of them. We were also joined by my sister and her little baby girl. Our three babies had a play (well, they all laid on the play-mat next to each other if you can call that playing), while we shared some cuppa’s and yabbered on. Here are some images I took of this stunning baby boy today. Jess & Aaron, I hope you love them as much as I do! Oh, and I HAD to add the one where he looks like Superman. What a dude! He also has this hilarious tongue pokey-out thing happening, and I absolutely LOVE it. You know, with babes,  it’s those kind of special little things that you want to remember forever.

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Little Maddison on the weekend. Oh, and what a perfect little creature she is! Such delicate features and so, so pretty.

Her parents Kate and Chris seem like they have been there and done it all before, but nope – Maddison is their first little one. They are so relaxed and so in love with their precious little girl. I don’t blame them at all – how could you not adore something so absolutely perfect?

I had such a great time with you guys, and I really hope you enjoy your preview. I will be in touch very shortly with your full gallery!

It’s already tomorrow, and I need to get to bed! I’ve got to get up with the sparrows and drive to Sydney airport. Why you ask? Well, I am jet-setting to Surfers Paradise tomorrow morning for a photography workshop. My little Mitch will be accompanying me, as I just can’t bear the thought of him not being in my eyesight for very long.  Even Dusty and Beau are excited about the drive to Sydney as they get to watch DVD’s in the car (by the way, DVD players in cars – best invention ever).   I am so excited to meet and learn from some incredible US photographers, and am equally excited about hanging out with some of my amazingly talented photography friends. One of which is kiwi, Fiona Andersen and you can read her post about the workshop here .

But before I leave, I wanted to post a little preview for a tiny little man and his parents. This little fella was so teeny. I’ve been used to gigantor babies since Mitch was born, but sweet baby Landon just seemed so small in comparison. He also didn’t have man-boobs like Mitch had as a wee  newborn!

Stephen and Jane, I had the loveliest morning with your little family. It was such an absolute pleasure to photograph this treasured, loved little dude of yours. Landon is your first baby, yet you make the whole parenting thing look so easy. I swear you’ve been there and done it all before! Jane, you are so perfect with your little guy. The perfect new mother. You are so relaxed, easy-going and take everything in your stride. Landon probably doesn’t realise it yet, but he is one very lucky little baby. One very LOVED little baby.

So, there’s only a few here but I really wanted to post a few before I leave town for the week.

And a bit of housekeeping : I will not be open for business for the next week, however, feel free to slip me an email or a note via the contact page on my website, and I will do my best to get back to you quickly!

Growing up like a little champion – here is our little man! That smile of his just makes me smile. What a perfect little creature you!

So, I haven’t been around a lot lately, but the little man you see below has been keeping me busy. I know… seriously… how could I do anything else when I have this gorgeous little person to stare at all day? But thing will be rolling again soon, and I will have some sessions to share. xx
