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

In a few weeks i am photographing the wedding of Duane and Kimberley. Today we met up for some family photos with their gorgeous little men!!

A few weeks ago, i got a lovely call from Judi wanting to organise a photo shoot of her daughters family and both Grandmothers. We met up this morning, and it was a pleasure to photograph these little guys!

A month ago I travelled to the Gold Coast to spend a week with a group of my fabulous friends (who also happen to be super talented photographers from all around the country- and New Zealand). We stayed in a beautiful house on the water and had our days filled with inspiration in the form of amazing photographers from the USA and Canada.

Day one was spent with Ashley Skjaveland and two gorgeous newborns. Day two was Brianna Graham and teens/urban and day three was Raye Law and watching her form connections with families to bring out the best memories for them to keep.

The final day was spent photographing tonnes of gorgeous models that had kindly given their time to us.

Here is just a small preview of our week. It was amazing.

A huge thanks to the wonderful teachers for coming over to Australia and teaching us to shoot from the heart. Thank you!!! xx

Wow.. it has been an amazingly busy first half of 2010 for Danielle Stahl Photography!! I just wanted to take the time to share some recent news with my beautiful blog followers and clients.

Firstly, I mentioned on my blog a few weeks ago, that Jennifer Stocks was going to be doing our family photos. WELL.. can i just say she is AMAZING. It was such a thrill to be on the other end of the whole family portrait process. I was in tears when we got our gallery. It was perfect! If anyone is reading from near Bathurst.. book her NOW. You won’t regret it! Please check out her blog post featuring my little family: Danielle’s Family Photos by Jennifer Stocks

In other news, I am flying to beautiful Brisvegas next week to a photography workshop with a bunch of talented photographers that i am privileged to call my friends. One of those amazing girls is Fiona Anderson. She compiled a little list of our group, so if you would like to check it out.. please see her blog here: Fiona Anderson . I usually catch up with this group of girls once a year and spend many an hour on the phone late at night. Whilst in Darwin I am pretty isolated from the photography community. These girls are my support network, biggest cheerleaders and just all round fabulous people. Bring on next week!!

There is also a model call out for newborns under the age of two weeks for the workshop. The workshop is being held 15 minutes drive from Surfers Paradise so if anyone out there knows of someone in the area with a newborn, please see this blog post for more information. This is an amazing opportunity!!

Following my workshop, I am flying back to Darwin for a day or so, then back on a plane over to Broome to spend a week at Cable Beach Club for a close girlfriends wedding. This is the first Wedding i am not working at in a very long time. I will make sure i take a few photos, then put the camera down and celebrate.

So on that note, the studio will close on the 14th May and reopen 1st June. I will have limited phone and internet access over this period. For all urgent matters, I can be contacted on 0422 364 340.

Its about to get super busy for Danielle Stahl Photography. Wedding season is upon us in Darwin!! I have a few booked over the next two months, so please keep your eye out on the blog for the sneak peeks. Due to the success of my newborn/baby side of the business, i am no longer booking Weddings. I haven’t been taking bookings for the last few months as some people would be aware. I am still booking destination weddings and In a few years I will open the Wedding side back up For the moment though, i am needing to concentrate on my young family and the beautiful new people being born in Darwin.

I am hoping i have covered all of my news!! I may keep adding to this over the next few days.

Thanks to all my readers for your beautiful comments and continued support. 2010 is shaping up to be an amazing year!!

Love Danielle x

This beautiful family has come all the way from the USA to live in Australia for a few years. We met at the park this morning, to capture their family before gorgeous Luke gets all grown up!

The weather is getting amazing in Darwin now. So beautiful and warm with a cool (ish) breeze. Its so nice to be able to venture back outdoors for sessions. There is so much news to fill my clients, friends and blog readers on, so will be back in the next few days with some studio news.

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!!!
