*Phew* - we made this session just in the nick of time, as it started spitting just as this family drove off at the end of their session. Whilst all of my families are special to me, this one is extra special! This is the second time I have photographed this lovely family. I took their portraits just over 12 months ago when Master J was only 3 months old (photo added below). Fiona and Byron are now expecting their second baby so today was not only a chance to update their family photos, but to grab some quick maternity shots of the georgous Mum to Be. Fiona actually wins all of my browny points as not only did she enter my January portrait competition over 20 times, she is also the first to comment on any blog or facebook updates. To know that she values what I do so much to take such an interest is extremely special to me.

Fiona, Byron and Jacob - Thank you SO much for today, I am looking forward to your newborn session in a few months time. I will be in touch. Chrissy xo

Just a quickie today! This morning I met up with a friend from my Mother's Group to snap some updated photos of her two girls. I have added some older images of Navi and Jure as well as their images from today. There is something special about the bond between these two sisters, not to mention their absolute CUTE-NESS. Bec, thanks for the catch up and the play! Chrissy xo

My sweet Koby boy is already 4 and a half months old - someone please slow time down, he is growing way to quickly!! Yesterday whilst waiting for my poor clients who were stuck in traffic I decided to make the most of my location and take a few snaps of Koby. I love this shot as not only is he experiencing his first touch of green grass, it has captured him doing what he does pretty much ALL day long and that's sucking on his fingers or whole hand! Take care everyone!

It's always such a compliment when clients are prepared to travel for hours to have their portraits taken however I am sure about an hour into the trip, today's client was more than likely cursing my Werribee location. Considering the shocking traffic in Melbourne of late, I am suprised they made it at all! Miss Emma and my Paigey Girl are only a few days apart and I haven't seen Emma since she was around 4 months old. Nathan is the latest addition to the family and would you believe at only 7 months old he has already had TWO haircuts! Sarah - thank you again for trecking all the way over the other side of town today. I hope you love these! I will be in touch! xo Chrissy
Now, I need to quickly thank a few more people for today. Firstly - THANK YOU to Hedde and John for the use of your stunning garden for today's session, I really appreciate you forgoing your privacy for a few hours today. Secondly - I really need to thank my georgous children for their patience today, especially my little assistant, Koby! Koby had to be woken quite early today to not only drop his sister off at daycare, but to do the balloon pick up with me and get to the location on time. He then patiently hung out during the session even as the day started to warm up. Thank you my georgous boy xo

It was a hot, hot sunny Sunday afternoon but this family were still up for a play at the beach! Mason was one of the BEST pirates I have ever had the pleasure of shooting down at this particular location. Gemma was a princess who did not want to let go of her sparkly handbag and was a little camera shy, but towards the end of the session, when I was packing my gear away, she decided it was time to have some fun...so out came the camera again!!

I love that this family were happy to try my take on a not so traditional Christmas shot - cue seaweed in place of mistletoe.

Kym, I hope you love your sneaky peeks and I will be in touch very soon!

Well, it was a glorious Melbourne afternoon when I met with the Hoffman family to take their family portraits. Lewis and Jude are two of the most handsome little boys and were such a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, they weren't quite their usual selves on the day. I thought that perhaps they were both plumb tuckered after their visit to the RAAF Museum before their session, but Mum informed me that later that night Lewis came down with a temperature. I still managed to grab some beautiful shots of these spunky little guys, oh and it was also Jude's first time seeing the ocean.

Jason and Heather, Thank you so much for the pleasure of capturing your family. I hope you like your sneak peeks and I will be in touch soon.
