Hello, my name is Danielle Jayne Burrows and I am the sole owner and photographer of Dream and Just Believe Photography, welcome to my blog.
Here, at my precious blog, I post sneak peeks for clients, updates on competitions, specials and upcoming events, and also a little bit of my home life - so you can get to know me, your photographer, just that little bit better.
So now that you are here, make yourself a coffee, grab a biscuit (a chocolate one, any kind ... mmm) and get comfy ... stay as long as you like! I'm truly greatful you are here, don't be shy, leave a comment.
I like to update regularly, so bookmark my blog to see new posts as they happen. Join my facebook page to keep up to date even more!
It was a very (and when I say very, I mean VERY) chilly morning, but even through the cold how cute is this little guy? Doesn’t that big warming smile just melt your heart? The weather didn’t stop the gorgeous bright spark at all. He fed the ducks, played in the park, chased magpies and just had a good ol’ fun time with his Mummy and Daddy.
Some of you may remember sweet EllaBella from last year. View her session from September here. For those who don’t know, she is currently in treatment for Leukaemia at only 2 years of age. I am happy to report though, that she is doing swimmingly well!
I had such fun just before sunset with Ella and her super Mum- chasing her around the beach, listening to her chatter away, and watching her play with the cute little umbrella I bought especially for the session.
I’m having a hard time choosing favourites from this session, so am going to have a larger share than normal … enjoy.
This next photo, well, it touches my core … and to be completely honest as I was processing this particular photo I had to fight back the tears. I can’t really explain why I love it so much. It might be the fact that she looks so innocent, sweet and so so tiny sitting on the rock; or it might be because she is holding the lollipop heart right there – right on her heart. It speaks to me no matter what it is. 
I had been waiting for this widdle baby to be born for ages. His lovely Mummy booked in for photos way back when she was in the early stages of her pregnancy!
Photographing newborns is one of the highlights of my job. The time that they stay this tiny and precious is sooo short, I find it sooo humbling to capture this quick phase in a child’s life, photos to be remembered and cherished forever. *sigh … gush …* No I’m not clucky, I swear!
Without further ado and hopeless ramblings from me, here he is just one week old.
Meet sweet Master C. He’s only a fresh little thing in this world and oooh so adorable. When I showed up at the location, I was in Heaven. Autumn leaves everywhere! YAY.
This session was a lot like life, you never can tell when a normally happy baby decides to have an off day. Poor little guy just couldn’t get settled for us. I called it the “pressure” of being a gorgeous model. hehe. But never the less, I ALWAYS ALWAYS strive my hardest to get the shots that are desired. Even though the smiles were few and far between, those beautiful big eyes shon through and showed us the true nature of a child … innocence and purity. LOOOOOVE.
Taken with my camera phone, please excuse the quality … eeek.
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 …
Not quite sure why single Mums don’t get more credit for what they do, every one I have met are the most giving and selfless women I know. I mean, doing it ALL on their own, what a responsibility.
Beck is no exception – and I think she is exceptional! Three girls, 5 years old and under. One word – WOW!
We kind of knew from the get-go a complete traditional family portrait would be pretty much out of the question. But who wants that anyway? I mean the girls are teeny tiny cute and extremely full of spirit, I was just happy to capture their gorgeous personalities.
I hope you like what we got Beck, you are doing an amazing job and should be sooo proud of yourself, you only have to look at the sparkle in their eyes to know it.
