With a name fit for an English aristocrat, tiny Xavier Holmes is to date the ‘newest’ newborn I have had in the studio at a tender 6 days. When Hayley came for her maternity shoot at 36 weeks, she was having some issues with swelling. As fate would have it, four days later, tiny Xavier made his grand entrance and we were so pleased we hadn’t delayed!
Xavier’s family was beyond thrilled to welcome their new son who is a baby brother for doting 2 year old big sister Olivia. Such a sleepy and relaxed  little guy throughout his first photo shoot, I am told he continues to be the most placid baby you could have. Can’t ask for more than that! Hayley & Damien thank you for bringing your beautiful family to me for your first family portraits as a family of four.  Get ready for sweetness overload…….

After newborn portraits, babies aged 6-8 months are my absolute favourite age to photograph. Usually sitting unaided and with smiles all around…it always a fun session!
Sweet AnaLucia was  7 1/2 months old for her shoot. This little miss is often referred to as my sister Melody’s little ‘Princesa’. She has a barrage of Aunties & Uncles (both surrogate and blood) dotted all over the world and is affectionately nicknamed ‘little Princesa’ by all. I believe Princesa is Spanish for Princess.
My adorable niece is the light of my sister’s life and charms all who meet her within seconds. In all my life I have never encountered such a sweet,content and happy baby. Her smile melts your heart and her long perfectly straight eyelashes defy belief. Love you so much baby girl! See AnaLucia’s newborn photos here.
The first images here have special significance to our family as AnaLucia is wearing a baby bonnet that belonged to her great grandmother Isobel, who sadly passed away in February. She would have been 96 just a few days ago and would have been tickled pink to see these photos.

Tiny newborn Max was only 12 days new when I met him for the first time for his newborn photo shoot. He had is entire entourage in tow; his beautiful mummy Kristy, proud daddy Colin and adoring big sister, Xanthia. This sweet cherub was an absolute star and I’m sure you can see why Max already holds his adoring family like putty in his tiny hands!
Kristy & Colin I loved spending my afternoon with your beautiful family. I hope you enjoy sharing these images with your friends and family.

I was so excited last week to have the opportunity to photograph the Gleeson family newborn Triplets! The girls arrived in late June at 33 weeks and spent the first few weeks of their lives in the Neonatal unit at Monash Hospital. They also have a doting big sister and brother to smother them with love!
Mummy Renee and daddy Paul bought the  tiny girls to visit me for their first ever photo shoot when they were just 38 weeks…still not even due yet!
The babies were so tiny and so completely and utterly adorable and I loved every second I spent with them! My friend Katie from Katie Toland Photography in Mt.Eliza came to give me a hand and together we created some beautiful images that the Gleeson family can treasure.

Introducing Leah, Rachael and Sophie.
