I met Sally in Primary School, almost immediately we became best friends. She was everything I was too scared to be … confident, funny, outgoing, friendly.  She was the first friend that gave me the freedom to be myself, who made me comfortable without any judgements. She taught me how to be a good friend to others in the same way.

To this day the presence she had in my life during those School days, will always stay close to my heart. So when she asked me to photograph her daughter for her 2nd birthday, I was thrilled.

And what a complete sweetheart little Emma is. The way her eyes twinkle when she smiles is sooo contagious. I’m willing to bet she is going to grow up to be just as awesome as her Mummy.

 

 

As Precious as a Flower

August 23, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I had a dilemma. I had ordered a cake for a cake smash session but when I realised I hadn’t discussed the cake with the clients it was too late and they had already made their own! Oops to me. I couldn’t waste this beautiful cake I had. So I put out a desperate call for a cake smash for the next day …

Enter Iris, the sweetest little big doe eyed darling I ever did see.

Thanks to Cutie Cups for the amazing Giant Cupcake.

I apologise in advance, for once again I have many many images to share. I can’t help it, my clients just have the cutest of cute children.

Lakayah is about to celebrate her 1st birthday and to put this momentus occasion down in the history books forever, we had a cake smash session! Too. Much . Fun.

She was so cute and petite, picking all the decorations of the gorgeous butterfly cake first. A real little princess.

If you haven’t already realised, I loooooove cake smash sessions. Every single one is completely different, I just love seeing how each individual child takes to the cake. Some trash it within one minute, some pick and nibble, some freak out with dirty hands, some walk in it, sit in it, roll in it …

Some, as in this little mans case, don’t eat it but rather just lick it. But he proved, even if the cake doesn’t get eaten, you can still have plenty of fun!

Meet Cooper, the cutest little 1 year old, with many many many expressions.

What a crack up this next lot of photos are, his different faces had me in stitches …

Gorgeous little Seth turned 2 on the weekend, no better way to celebrate than to smash up a cake. What a funny little man he was with his cake, there wasn’t a whole lot of eating … but there was a ton of smashing.

Seth’s mum, Aleisha, is a photographer also – check out Pheonixation Photographics to see her work. So it’s always the biggest compliment when another photographer is excited to choose me to do some photography for them.

Enjoy your sneak peek Aleisha.

Double the Celebration

February 27, 2010

Today’s photosession had many meanings for me. It commemorated an exact year since I started port folio building.

My very first photo session was with Harrison, at only a few days old. Here is a photo from that session: sweet yawn.

So in a rather poetic circle, how awesome was it that now a whole year later my very last port folio building session is with the same little man. Who is having a celebration of his own, of course, his 1st Birthday. And what does that mean in my world? Cake Smash time.

 

So here I am on the Eve’s Eve of launching my fully fledged business. Watch the changes take place from March 1st and follow my fanpage on facebook for awesome promotions in the first week.

Ryans Cake Smash

December 14, 2009

Today is the first day in a looooong time that I don’t have anything I need to process. So when these times come around, I quickly get stuck into my own photos.

I had Ryans cake smash sneak peek way back when … October to be precise! Now I have finished them all and here is the cutest of cute (might be a lil bit bias) storyboards.

My baby’s cake smash!

October 15, 2009

Oh my sweet little baby has just turned 2! Wow. Two whole years, it seems a long time – but it sure feels like I’ve known him longer. Gorgeous little thing.

So I planned to give him a cake smash session … and it did not go as I expected. He was just sooo proper, he wouldn’t get into it at all, picking at it like the lovely little prince he is. And then, when he realised his hands were dirty and he couldn’t wipe them clean on the floor, he decided he’d had enough!

I made him a GIANT cupcake with a groovy number 2 candle!

Look at the look on his face in the next one – it’s like he’s saying “I didn’t do it!” And this time, he really didn’t do it!  It might look like he got stuck into that cake and really did make a mess of it, but no such luck. This cake “smash” was courtesy of Daddy. But just pretend I didn’t tell you that and look at it and see how much fun and amazement the child has with cake smashes!!

 Here you go cake, have your candle back! How tidy of him, putting things back to where they were when we started!!

 And one more, as an outtake/pullback. He cried because I wouldn’t let him wipe his hands on me – how mean am I, not only am I not cleaning my child when he has horrible cake and cream all over him, I am also taking a photo of it! IMG_0870 blog
