Darwin Newborn, baby and child photography | Danielle Stahl Photography Blog

Yesterday I photographed the wedding of Kelvin and Sandy. When I walked in and saw Sandy, I almost squealed with delight. She is a photographers dream, and was looking AMAZING. Teamed with her handsome hubby and beautiful bridal party, it was an amazing day!!

As its now the wet season in Darwin, we had to contend with the weather. Before the ceremony we had amazing beautiful grey and moody storm clouds. It poured during the ceremony and left us with a slight drop in temperature for the photos after. I couldn’t ask for anything more!

Sandy and Kelvin were completely organised, on time and relaxed about every aspect. They trusted my visons and were willing to try everything i asked.

It really was a perfect day for a perfect couple. Congratulations Sandy and Kelvin and all the best for a long and beautiful future together!!

A sneak peek of their day (with a little more photos than normal!).

Four weeks until Christmas. I can’t quite believe how quickly that happens every year! I have been diligently collecting my favourites from each session in a folder, and am looking forward to sharing the sideshow on my blog in a few weeks to celebrate a FABULOUS 2009 in Darwin.

Today i was getting caught up on my admin and filing and came across my testimonial folder of a few beautiful notes I have collected over the year. I can’t quite describe how amazing 2009 has been for both the business and my personal life. I feel quite blessed. My most recent bride sent me this gorgeous email… aren’t my clients awesome. She made me cry with these beautiful words!

“All we can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You are AMAZING! YOU ROCK!!!!
I am so overwhelmed by your photos – and seriously can not believe this is me! I LOVE THEM! Both Byron and I really wanted to say that your the Best photographer we have ever met. Not only is your work professional and the best…. You are such a caring and beautiful person! You went far and beyond our expectations! Even dealing with the chaos before the wedding – help dressing the bride- to keeping everyone focused. You made my day!”

I have decided to add a testimonial section in my portrait website, so more clients can share the love!!: Portrait Testimonials and my wedding website (under “information” tab): Wedding Testimonials

In other news, due to the wet season’s arrival and my love of natural light, all studio sessions will now be held in the morning.

I am taking a light schedule over the festive season, and will be interstate from January 1st for a few weeks and will give more details closer to the date.

I have some fabulous new things in store for 2010 and i cannot wait for the New Year to begin!

Thanks again to all of my clients, blog readers and photographer friends for your ongoing support, love and encouragement!!

This morning I had baby Michael in for his newborn photography session. I am on a roll with the sleepers. Michael slept so beautifully for me. He has the most amazing plump red lips, which i just HAD to capture for his proud parents!

Today i photographed the BEST newborn baby i have ever had. Ever. During the session I informed his Dad of this fact and he laughed -like i say that to every set of newborn parents that walk through the doors. Nup… Spencer was an angel. He was breech which meant he loved having his feet almost at his face. He was so adorable and he let me move him around without a peep. What a special little peanut!!!
