Meet Baby Esther... Sneak Peek

Meet Baby Esther... She is just divine! With totally kissable cheeks, perfect button nose and scrumptious little lips, I was in love from the moment I first held her. Esther is the newest addition to the sweet little family of my beautiful friends Ashlee and Shane. (As a side note, I have been meaning to blog pics from their wedding earlier in the year - my bad... will do that soon)

Now, not only did I have the honour of being one of the first non-family members to meet Esther (she was just a wee one day old!!!), Ashlee and Shane also asked if I would take Esther's newborn photos. Ummm? Hello? Newborn, photos, me? I was there in a heart beat, hehe.

So without further a do, let me introduce you to Miss Esther Maree.

Like I said, divine.

Melbourne Calling

Hello!

Just stopping by to quickly share some pics from my recent trip to Melbourne over the Queen's Birthday long weekend. My lovely cousins, Mel and Ruben (aka Mr & Mrs Marshall) and I headed down south to celebrate the engagement of our cousin Melissa and her fiancé Rajay. I didn't take many photos at the party - it was just so lovely to have some much needed family time!

However, I certainly made up for that when Mel, Ruben and I went exploring for the rest of the weekend. Oh how I love Melbourne! I love the lane-ways, the architecture, the culture, the food and the shopping! Mel and Ruben were very accommodating models and posed without complaint whenever I asked (literally every 2 seconds).

Yeah! Totally the cutest couple, ever!!!

Lane Family Sneak-Peek

This weekend I was lucky enough to capture the fun and joy of little Chelsea's first birthday. Chelsea's dear mama, Emma, and I went to school together - way back when - and it was such a joy to now see her in the role of mummy. Emma thought of every detail to make her little munchkin's birthday so special and certainly one to remember. Just adorable!!!

Little ballet tootsie, tule tutu, lace... be still my heart!!!

Check out that cake-face and drool! Oh goodness me, too cute.

Weekend Bliss

Hello Lovelies,

How are you all this beautiful, sunny, Sunday afternoon? I thought I'd pop by to share some pictures from this weekend... it's been one filled with auntie duties for me - which I am always thankful for.

Yesterday I spent the day with my dear 4 year old niece, Caitlin. Caitlin has grown up in front of my camera - in fact she features on my web page, just once or twice :) - and always obliges her silly auntie. So off we went on our morning adventure - a picnic in the park with a long-time family friend and her littlies, Olivia and Linkoln. The girlies had a ball on the swings, each one trying to go higher than the other. While Mr Linkoln was happy just to explore and climb.

Caitlin | 50mm | ISO 200 | f/2.8 | 1/250

Olivia | 50mm | ISO 200 | f/2.8 | 1/250

Caitlin + Olivia | 35mm | ISO 200 | f/2.8 | 1/250

Olivia | 35mm | ISO 200 | f/2.8 | 1/250

Linkoln | 35mm | ISO 200 | f/2.8 | 1/250

Caitie and I then spent our afternoon potting flowers for springtime - tulips, daffodils and hyacinths - followed by afternoon snuggles on the couch. I didn't brave photo-taking while doing the potting... muddy hands, a 4 year old, water and a camera? A little risky for my liking. But trust me, we had FUN!

This morning was my cousins' little one, Peyton's, 4th birthday party. Peyton is such a precious little thing - she may be tiny, but don't be fooled! As my mum says, she's a total pocket rocket. Of course the party was 'princess' themed, so plenty of pink, glitter and giggles. Very cute!
