31 Dec Returning Babies | Welcoming Families Back to the Studio in 2017
2017 was a wonderful year, and I was so excited to see lots of my gorgeous babies come back to the studio. Some came back with brand new siblings, and some came back for updated photos. Seeing my lovely clients again makes my heart so happy!
I put together this post of flashbacks and new memories to celebrate some of 2017’s exciting moments. And to say thank you to my amazing clients – both new and returning – who trust me with their little people. I am so honoured that you have chosen my studio to create beautiful images for you. I truly love my work!
Samuel & Grace
When Samuel’s little sister Grace visited me for her newborn photos, it was like deja vu. They were so adorably similar as newborns!

Seanna & Nerissa
I have photographed this gorgeous family quite a few times, and I have loved watching Seanna grow from a tiny newborn, to a gorgeous toddler, to a big sister!

Giles, Edmund & Aurelia
I first met Giles and his family for Edmund’s newborn session in 2016. It was so lovely to celebrate the start of Prep for Giles, and help them welcome little sister Aurelia in November.

Millicent & Clay
Millicent was another eager Preppy who I photographed at the start of the year. She brought her little brother Clay along to my Open Day in June for some sweet sibling photos.

Ethan
I have watched handsome little Ethan grow from a newborn in 2016, and celebrated his first year milestones with a series of sessions at 4, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Harrison & Elliot
After photographing both Harrison & Elliot as newborns, with their big brother Jasper, it was bittersweet to take these family photos in Kingscliff before they moved back overseas. I will miss these guys!

Alfred
I first met Skye about five years ago when we were looking at moving house (she’s a fantastic real estate agent), and we’ve been friends ever since. After photographing their gorgeous wedding, I was so excited to meet Phil & Skye’s little man Alfred and take some newborn photos for them in their home.

Toby
Super cute Toby was born on Christmas Day last year, and I got to celebrate his first birthday with him just a few days ago. Such a happy little man.

I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane as much as I did. I’m looking forward to welcoming lots of new and familiar faces into the studio in 2018.
Many thanks also to my wonderful newborn assistants Amy, Roz, Mary, Kylie & Kelsey! And my family for supporting my business wholeheartedly, always.
Happy New Year!
