Jennifer Stocks Photography – The Blog

Little Will is an absolute little sweetheart. Big blue eyes, a gorgeous smile and creamy golden skin. He was made with some pretty incredible genetics, which will no doubt ensure he grows from cute baby to handsome man.

I photographed Jamie and Sam’s wedding about 18 months ago. It was an amazing and beautiful wedding in every way. Check it out here. These guys are wonderful parents. Jamie is pretty much the perfect mum, and as a dad, Sam is a complete natural. You can see this boy is going to be a BOY alright. I reckon Sam is already itching to get him kicking a footy. A physical babe too – I think he’s the kind of baby that will roll early, sit early, walk early….  Most of all though, I think Will is a little babe who will be loved by many.

Jamie and Sam, thanks for having me photograph your beautiful boy (in your incredibly stunning home – LOVE it!). I hope you enjoy your preview and I will be in touch shortly with your full gallery. xx

I visited and photographed three beautiful little lads recently. We spent a little time inside the house (mostly for the benefit of the little one), but then ventured outside to their backyard – a place I would call ‘boy heaven’. A backyard with chooks, vege gardens, kiddy tools, play equipment and an assortment of cool ride-on vehicles any little boys would go bananas over.

The two older ones are outdoor boys, and are clearly obsessed with their daddy – they follow him around, helping with all the the ‘jobs’. They dig in the yard, help collect the eggs, and generally potter around. They were so full of personality, and loved showing me around. Their mum really wanted some ‘real’ photos that showed what their life is like (they have a lot of overseas relatives – many who have no idea of their lifestyle). We were also lucky enough to hold the session when Sophie’s parents were visiting from the UK – so we managed to get a few shots with their grandparents too.

Sophie – thanks for having me photograph your little men. They are absolutely gorgeous,cheeky, full of life and are the epitome of ‘boys’. With a mum and dad like you guys, it is an absolute certainty they will be ‘good blokes’ when they grow up. I hope you enjoy your sneak-peek  and I will be in touch with your full gallery very soon.

Adventures.. oh, yes I had plenty of them when I met with Luke, Jasmine and Lily. It was a truly horrific day weather wise (as seems to be the case every day in our town at the moment). It was cold and terribly windy, it rained and the sun kept coming in and out non-stop. In the end however, we managed to get some great shots!

Lily is so incredibly beautiful with her lovely skin, gorgeous lips, and big smile.  She was a real little Dora the Explorer and kept me on my toes while she zig-zagged everywhere. I swear she knew what was going on, and the minute I pulled the camera to my face she would RUN, or her smile would turn into a frown!

It was so great meeting with you guys for some portraits, even though the weather left a lot to be desired. Your little girl is amazing in so many ways, and you guys are absolutely terrific with her. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch very soon with your full gallery.

I recently photographed the most adventurous, curious little girl, Mackenzie. She was sweet, cheeky and full of character. At 2 1/2 years, she certainly kept me on my toes with her little adventures, but was also an obliging photographic subject!

Mackenzie was so at home in her grandparents beautiful big garden – you can tell she has spent countless hours wandering around. I remember as a small girl, my Nanna &  Pop had the most magical, amazing, tropical garden and I was in complete awe. I thought fairies must have lived there (when mostly it was just mozzies and cute little lizards). Gardens are truly fantastic to kids. They are places of beauty, learning, and exploring. They are places where kids form beautiful memories – ones that stay with them forever.

It was so great to meet your little girl – she is a true sweetheart, and is testament to your loving, nurturing parenting. I hope you enjoy your preview and your full gallery will be ready shortly. xx

But most of all I love these little dudes. They are funny little buggers. They keep me on my toes, test my patience, and get into everything humanly possible …. but the amount of happiness they bring is endless. Keep your free spirits my little men and you will go far… These photographs are of my boys just being themselves. And yes, my youngest son Beau is 2.5 years and still eats things that are not food (e.g. grass).

On a side note, if you are thinking of booking a session with Jennifer Stocks Photography before Christmas – get in fast! October is almost booked out. In order to get your prints/packages back before Christmas time the cut-off point will be November 10th. Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee any pre-Christmas orders after this time. So, get on your bike if you are after a session with me before Christmas!!!

I will still be doing photo-sessions after this date – I just can’t guarantee I will be able to get prints, etc back before Christmas. It is actually really close (something I just realised yesterday when I saw Christmas decorations and products for sale down the street). Depending on which way you like to look at it – it is actually 84 days OR 2024 hours away.
