I first met this little guy when he was only about 4 months old and now he has just turned one! Mum sourced the cutest nappy cover with matching tie and hat for his cake smash session. Big sister, Mum and Dad joined in too.
Happy birthday Oliver

A child’s first birthday is such a wonderful milestone to celebrate. So much has been achieved in their first year and so much more to come. Here is little William with his Mum and Dad and he had a ball with his cake smash!
It’s always nice to be able to record special occasions a mile stones with your children. I meet so many people who struggle to take a nice photo of their children. Sometimes it is a lack of understanding of light, sometimes it’s composition, sometimes it’s wrangling your camera and sometimes it getting the right moment.
For those of you using manual settings on your cameras – here are a few tips to help you on your way. For those not familiar with these settings you may be interested in enrolling in the next ‘Learn Photography’ course to be held in February 2015.
If you have a child who loves to dress up, play it up for the camera then you may not have ever experienced the pain that some parents do when trying desperately to get their own kids to co-operate for a nice photo. Some children know exactly what is trying to be achieved and will go out of their way to make sure it doesn’t happen – these tips are for you. As a professional portrait photographer it is my job to get kids on side and capture the true them and I seem to do that well…. but even I find it completely different with my own children. This is what I have found works well with my kids.
These are my hot tips. All simple and straight forward but when it’s your own kids, it suddenly becomes more complicated. Last week I took some photos of my kids and their cousins for a gift. It was a great opportunity to get a photo of my kids to record them at this age. Here is my little man and two of his cousins.
For more on taking photos of people on location – the next workshop coming up is location portraiture – check it out – October 18th!
Also don’t forget – LENS NIGHT AT DIAMONDS CAMERAS is coming up in a few weeks – October 27th. Open to all.
A unique opportunity to learn, touch and try in a closed shop after hours. I will hold your hand and ask all the embarrassing questions you feel silly for asking and we will have the incredibly knowledgable brain of our co-host Lindsay to quiz and find out about all the latest options on the market.
Gorgeous family to share with you. Big sis, little sis, Mum and Dad. Very cute and a lot of love floating around.
It’s a wonderful journey I have been on with this family. I first met them 2 years ago when little Xavier was born, then less than a year later, I was lucky enough to photograph them again when Lailah arrived into this world. This was closely followed by Xavier’s cake smash session to celebrate his first birthday. Late last year I then recorded the beautiful wedding of Mum and Dad and now Lailah has just turned one. It truly is so rewarding to keep in touch with families and see each little being grow.
Lailah loved her cake made by the wonderful Belinda of Metro Designer Cakes. She was so excited and quite happily sat there eating it for morning tea!
