As we didn't get many shots at the beach ( due to the storm) We did a quick studio session this morning with this wonderful bunch of children.
Little *Z* wasn't having much of us, however the other children were so patient and great to work with!
Enjoy your sneak peek guys
I am doing two big family shoots for this gorgeous, wonderful family. One on the beach, and one urban style!
There are actually 7 children in this family, however 2 are not with them on their holiday to Queensland.
This was right after a massive electrical storm in Surfers paradise!! We didn't think we would be able to shoot at all. But at 6.15 the storm broke and we had 20 mins to get these shots. luckily for us, nature turned on a sky show with colours to make your jaw drop!!
Enjoy *H*
As usual please click on the wider images to view them unpixelated - Thanks
2008 is coming to an end, and what a year it has been for me!!
I thought I'd celebrate it with a photo montage of my work.
Here are my favorite ( because of many reasons, perhaps being the 'first" , or the time i conquered a certain lighting condition, or even just a great session) two photos from each month of 2008
These are In dated order from January to december ( two per month)
Enjoy!

Thanks again for a fun shoot, and also being SO great about your clothing choices !! it makes such a huge difference to the shots when you make the effort to dress for portraits.
