I absolutely adore photographing pregnant women. It’s always with a touch of longing, because it’s a part of my life I’ve passed now (sob!) but the opportunity to make someone feel beautiful during their pregnancy is something I really enjoy. It  appeases the baby hunger somewhat ) So, this is one of my recent favourites. I have her on my site at the moment, and she’s also about to go on a new business card, but I wanted to show how lovely this shoot was, and there is even a colour image thrown in (gasp..don’t get too excited, it was a one-off!).

So, this is Katie, who had little Gloria just over a week later. We photographed this in her parent’s home, a beautiful grand old place in North Adelaide which was totally inspiring.

Yep..that time again, and I’ve plunged in..I bought my husband’s present yesterday. Something I usually reserve for the last minute, he’s so difficult to buy for.  I came across the idea of getting him some really good chef’s knives for Christmas this year, seeing as he’s the cook in our house at present, so hopefully he likes them! Could be dangerous if he doesn’t ;o)

So, the requests for prints as Christmas presents has begun also, and it prompted me to give an idea of timelines needed for Christmas 2006.  Sittings really need to be held by the first week in December to guarantee prints. If framing is also required then I have to be harder I think, to give my poor framers a break if nothing else..and say sittings have to be held by the end of November to ensure custom framing of your prints will be done in time. I will keep everyone advised on lead times etc, but as a prompt for those thinking about gifts (and you should..49 days til Christmas and Father Christmas is in residence in the Magic Cave! ), it would be wise to book soon to avoid disappointment. The glorious weather and incredible baby boom has seen weekend bookings fill quickly, so call me to arrange a time.

Happy Shopping!
