Abbie+Millie [sisters]

Yesterday I went out with these two gorgeous sisters and did some photos for their annual Christmas Card. The poor things, it was SO cold and windy, but they did a brilliant job. These girls are a wonderful mix of cheeky, serious and absolutely beautiful. I am also extremely lucky to be their Aunty. I swear I have the most adorable family! Millie is the littlest one (blonde hair) and she wouldn't crack a smile for me,she was very serious the whole shoot, but I managed to get a few out of Abbie, love these girls :)

Little Miss M

Over the weekend I had a shoot with these guys, who have been booked in all year, so was great to finally meet them! The location was absolute heaven, I loved it, so many beautiful spots for photos! And little Miss M, she was so cute, and oh my goodness she had a cheeky little attitude! We did have trouble getting her to stop dancing and running for longer then 2 seconds to get a photo, but we managed in the end! She was a bag of laughs!

Driessen Family

I had the absolute pleasure of taking this beautiful families photos on the weekend. Words can't say how much I loved this shoot, everyone was just so lovely and cute, and the kids were so good for me, just awesome! I think everyone will agree Mum is just absolutely beautiful too! Well done guys, you have the best family xo

Firstly, a huge 20x30 inch storyboard print that these guys have ordered, it will look absolutely perfect hanging on the wall framed!

Jack & Amity

On the weekend I had the pleasure of photographing these two cuties Jack & Amity, twin 3 1/2 year old siblings! These guys did anything to look away from my camera, they are so cheeky and do not like having their photo taken, but I persisted and got many wonderful shots still! Amity is just a little doll, her porcelain skin and big, bright blue eyes are just amazing, and Jack, he reminds me so much of my 3 1/2 year old Jack that I could take his photo all day too! He is just such a handsome little man!
Jack & Amity hadn't seen their Daddy for 2 weeks before our photo shoot, and they didn't know he was coming along, so I am really happy I captured them so excited and surprised to see him when he showed up, I love the emotion in the photos.
Thank you so much to their Mum for such fantastic choice in their clothing, it really does make a huge difference to photos, you have great taste! Thank you also, for coming from so far away, I hope you love these pictures for years to come!

Tylah, Summer & Jack

Whenever my eldest niece Tylah comes over to stay I always grab out my camera to take photos of her, she is just beautiful, and being 6 years old, she loves getting her photo taken so I always make the most of it! Today while our son was sleeping I took some of her with our 5 month old baby Summer, and they turned out just perfect (in the eyes of a proud Aunty & Mummy anyway!). Then once Jack woke up he let me take just a couple of him, he doesn't like to sit still for very long! Absolutely love my family, they are just the best thing on this earth :)

As well as take photos today, we also had fun baking blueberry muffins, going to the shops, playing at the park, painting face masks, playing footy outside in the warm sun and then the kids finished the busy day off eating popcorn on the couch together watching a Barbie movie! Phew what a day!!

The first photo is a perfect example showing why clothing choice is so important in photo shoots, changing Summers outfit made the photos so much better, so please remember this when choosing your outfits for photo shoots!

King Family

Today I did my first official work shoot since I had our baby way back in April, it was so lovely to get to hang out with this cute family and take their family photos for them! Couldn't have asked for lovelier weather or more gorgeous kids, enjoy guys, and Happy Fathers Day for Sunday :)

My Blog Is Back!

So here I am, back on my blog! It has been over 1 year since I have updated my blog, I took a veeeeeeery long break from it, but am ready to start posting again! I originally stopped my blog posts because so many people seem to prefer looking at photos on my Facebook Page, however the photo quality on Facebook is pretty dismal and does absolutely no justice for any photographers talent, so I figured the best way to showcase my work is back on here! My Sneak Peaks now of clients shoots will be that, a 'Sneak Peak', rather then my old posting on Facebook of almost the whole shoot! So now it will be hard selecting my favourite 3 or 4 photos from a shoot! I have been off from photo shoots since February this year, since I had our Second baby in April....we had a baby girl 'Summer' who is now a whopping 4 months old! Where does the time go? We have also moved town, to a little country town, Pittsworth, about 40 minutes from Toowoomba, but I will still be doing my shoots in Toowoomba :) Life has been incredibly busy this year, but have enjoyed every minute of it!
I start back doing photos in September, and I already have quite a few sessions booked up until Christmas, with only about 3-4 spots left this year, so please please email me as soon as you can if you would like to book in. I am really wanting to theme things up now for my shoots, get creative, think Cowboys and Indians, homemade beautiful tents, Daddies fishing with their little ones, Mummies and Daughters playing hairdressers etc. I also want to branch out and do shoots inside my clients homes (if of course they are very well lit with beautiful sunlight), photos around your belongings, in your backyard, doing your own family things. So if this interests you at all, let me know and we will do it! I am very very excited for the things to come!

I can't possibly do a blog post without photos, so here are a few from our gorgeous (bias much?!) children, Jack and Summer. The love they have for each other is already very overwhelming, it is just beautiful so I love to capture it as much as I can on camera!

So remember, send me an email if you would like to enquire on a Photo Shoot, my email is a.newmanphotos@gmail.com and I will travel as far as the Sunshine Coast, just ask!

Rain Rain Go Away [Family]

I really, really looked forward to Sunday's shoot and as the day got on, the weather got worse! I was adament I was going to still give it a go, and this awesome family didn't mind getting a little wet, so off we headed with gumboots and umbrella in hand! Even though it rained the whole time, I loved taking their photos, and as 'Master M' is the same age as my little Master Jack, I loved it even more-22 months is the best age! These photos turned out beautiful, and the rain made for a lovely background but we are heading out again to get more photos next week (if this weather clears) so stay tuned for more photos in the coming weeks of this cute family :) Thanks so much for braving this very crazy weather with me guys, I hope you love your photos, looking forward to Take 2!

The Lewis Family

A couple of weeks ago I headed out to the Japanese Gardens again to do some family photos for this gorgeous family. Little Matilda and Oscar, and their Mum & Dad Cayce and Chris, were such a pleasure to take photos of. I love nothing more then when I go to a shoot and am so comfortable that it feels like we have been friends for years, and could just chat forever. This is what this shoot was like, and we let the kids pretty much run wild and play just like they wanted too and I got some of the most beautiful shots I have ever taken. Thank you so much guys for letting me into your family briefly to take these, I hope you love them as much as I do, and enjoy your sneak peak! xo

Cayce and Chris have ordered to gigantic Storyboards to hang on their walls, a 20x30inch and a 16x20 inch, I can't wait to get them printed because they will look fantastic!

The Bolton Family

I headed back out to the Japanese Gardens to take some phots for Dean and Kelly of their cute little family. It was such a beautiful afternoon, and I enjoyed following the 3 boys Jack, Spencer & Rory around while they were playing and just snapping away :) Kelly and Dean only wanted a couple of certain photos, and our shoot was over and done with in just 30 minutes! I thought for sure that a shoot with 3 young boys would be much harder then that, but nope they were fantastic, and absolutely love the camera :) Here's your sneak peak guys, I hope you like it!

Kelly and Dean have ordered a massive 16x20 inch print of their youngest son, Rory to fit in on the wall with photos of the other boys at the same age-and it looks amazing!

Jack [lollipop]

While I was doing Jack's easter photos on Sunday, I thought I would do another little shoot with a big lollipop too! Jack isn't usually allowed lollipops, every other sweet under the sun is ok, I am just funny about lollipops! So I think he thought it was his birthday today when I pulled out this yummy looking one! He had a great old time eating it, and before he knew it Mummy was a big old meanie and put it away! Until recently, I haven't gotten too many 'fantastic' (ie. photographer worthy photos that aren't snapshots) of him, but I have been going to great lengths to make sure I get heaps lately, and these are some of my favourites, I love the colouring and greens in them. My boy has grown up way too fast, he is just too cute for words :)
