Meet the smiliest baby in Darwin right now.. Mr Jackson!

Well 2010 is in full swing. My Belly to Baby clients, gave me a lengthy break over Christmas and in the last week a fair few beautiful little bundles have blessed their parents. Keep an eye out on the blog over the next few weeks for some gorgeous, fresh lil’ babes!

A quick note to my 2009 Clients. As of COB Thursday 4th February 2010, all new and re-orders from 2009 will be charged at current 2010 pricing. I also have implemented a new policy, that all unordered images will be purged 30 days after order is placed. As the studio is rapidly growing, I am needing to streamline studio work flow so each and every client gets handled in an efficient manner. Thanks for your understanding!

Lastly, I wanted to share my beautiful children. Not often are they allowed to run amok in the studio!!!

This morning I met up with Andrew and his beautiful daughter Chloe. I was so impressed when i received the call from Andrew to book in our session. What amazing memories he will have of this special time with his daughter. Chloe was just beautiful…. a complete pleasure to spend time with and photograph!

It’s rare that my children will let me take photos of them these days. Caleb moreso than Madison. Madison is starting to pose, which is really sweet. Caleb HATES it. Usually i have to tell him i love him 24098 times and then i am allowed to take just a few! So sweet.

This morning we tested out the new studio!! Enjoy!

We have just returned from a relaxing holiday in Cable Beach, WA. We stayed in a beautiful villa in the Bali Hai Resort and Spa . It was bliss. During our stay I spent three hours at the spa, and i don’t think i have ever been more relaxed in my entire life.

We went there with close friends of ours, who are getting married at Cable Beach club resort and spa mid 2010. I took a few photos of them which i have included in this post.

I have plenty of exciting things on the horizon including a trip to Western Australia to shoot a wedding on an outback station, where the movie Australia was filmed!! I am back in the office now and just about to take my holiday voicemail off my phone. Looking forward to an amazing 2010!!

Towards the end of 2009, I had big decisions to make. I had well and truly outgrown my my current set up, and was needing to either make big changes or get a retail studio shopfront. As I have two young children, I felt I am not ready to work full time just yet… So i came to the decision I would rearrange the current studio and buy some more furniture as the final step towards a shopfront when the kids are both at school. In 2010 I will be continuing the hours I currently work. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 9am to 5pm. The studio will continue to be used for Newborns, Babies and Maternity, and toddlers will be on location. During the wet season, we may need to schedule toddlers in the studio also- due to the wet and hot conditions outside at the moment.

I have to give a HUGE Thanks to my friend and Brisbane/Gold Coast photographer Danielle Hamilton . In Darwin we are quite limited in variety and she sourced the Curtains and a few other things from Brisbane for me… Thanks again Danielle!!! The couch also had quite a long journey from Vic. A labour of love this studio!!

Here are a few quick shots of the new layout!! Looking forward to a fantastic 2010!!!
