Jennifer Stocks Photography – The Blog

Well, chances are you haven’t met our newest little man, Mitchell Quinn Stocks, but I assure you – he is well worth meeting. He decided to come into the world on 3 February, 2010. He weighed in at 8″9, and was 51cm. Today he is four weeks old, and he is the sweetest, most adorable baby. Our life feel so rich. We have three beautiful, happy, healthy boys who can grow up together. I envisage them sharing countless hours of lego, backyard cricket, bike riding, mud-pies, sand-pit playing, water-fights and wrestling. It warms my heart to see how much Dusty and Beau love their little brother. They are totally infatuated with him, and love him like he has been around for years.

So… introducing Mitchell. Our newest, littlest man.

(I also appreciate everyone’s patience while I concentrate on my family at this stage. I am on maternity leave and don’t intend to start shooting again until around May. During this time I am still contactable, but I am often unable to get back to people immediately. The best way to contact me during this time is by email through my website or blog. I currently have a waiting list for when I commence sessions again. If you would like to book a session with me please send me an email and I will add you to to the wait-list and contact you when I have details of sessions times, etc. Thanks!)

I had such a fantastic time with this adorable little man, Ralph and his mum during our photo session. I was lucky enough to have met Ralph before I took his photographs as I have known his mummy since high school. This little man is very blessed to have been born into such an incredibly loving and wonderful family. He will be truly loved and treasured. His beautiful mum is such a sweet, nurturing soul – she really is the kind of woman who was born to be a mother. I love seeing the way my sweet friend is with her new little bundle. I know motherhood is such a wonderful thing for her.

Here are a few images from the session – I just love the photographs of mum and baby together. Fe, I hope you like them! I will be in touch very soon with your gallery.

This week I photographed the most amazing little boy, Phoenix and his parents, Jodie and Scott. What a beautiful little family they are. As soon as I saw Phoenix, I instantly felt that he had been on this earth before. There is just something so wise and so special about him.  This little dude was totally relaxed for most of the session, but especially loved being held by his parents. But nothing relaxed him more than laying on his daddy’s chest. Whenever either parent held him, instantly he would go into chill-out mode. Hence, why a lot of the images I took on the day were with his parents! I just love some of the photographs from this session – I have taken so few images of babies with their parents (particularly with their dads) so I really loved being able to do it on this occasion. I am especially loving the baby and daddy shots.

So, guys I hope you enjoy your preview. You two are such fabulous parents, so relaxed and calm – it’s like you’ve done the whole parenting thing plenty of times before! Phoenix is very lucky to have such happy, fun and beautiful parents. I will be in touch soon with your gallery.

I have been out of action for the last few weeks as my family and I have just returned from Queensland. We had a whirlwind trip that involved a lot of driving, and a lot of visiting people, (oh, and I mustn’t forget Wiggles World). This was where I met my new niece and nephew, Ella and Hudson, for the very first time. They are the most amazing little ones, and are very loved by their parents Ben and Jane (and everyone else in the family of course! ).

I had the pleasure of photograping them while in Brisbane, while they were 3.5 weeks old. I was lucky enough to shoot them with Lana Bell of Little Posers Photography (a brilliant & amazing Brisbane baby photographer) who was kind enough to allow me to use her studio for the session. It was so fun working together to create these special images, and two sets of hands with twins definitely makes the job easier! The babies were so good – sleepy and settled, which made things so easy.

So, I know there are a lot of people excited to see these photos – enjoy!

I always look forward to photographing brand new babies, and this session was no exception. This time, I had the pleasure of photographing beautiful baby Poppy (3 weeks) and her gorgeous big sister Charlotte.

Charlotte was such a character – I swear she is a 4 year old in a 2 year olds body. Mum was equally stunning, and was also a serious crack-up! I must also mention that that they have the most amazing home…….

I had a blast, and it was so great meeting your family. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, and I will be in touch soon with details for your gallery.
