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!

Big Changes..

I have been really busy lately, and unfortunately my blog has got no attention at all! I have just updated it from my last few shoots, but a few have been re-scheduled etc due to this massive amount of rain the last 1-2 weeks! Thankfully, today is beautiful and sunny :)

I have spent many many hours recently getting my My new website built by the awesome Andrew at Phillips Design. He has put in so much hard work to do this for me, and I am so grateful as he has done such a fantastic job! I highly recommend him to anyone needing a website made! Thank you so much Andrew :)It is a MASSIVE accomplishment for me to get my website up, and a big step forward in my business, so I am really proud of that :)

I also designed new Business Cards and had them printed, they look pretty awesome if I must say so myself!

I have a Facebook Photography Fanpage up and running which is drawing in a lot of new clients and seems to be working really well for me, which is exactly why I have chosen to stop posting on my blog at this stage. Having to update my website frequently, as well as updating Facebook after every shoot and then to do the same on my blog is a lot of work! I don't really see the use in doing it to all three, so from now on I will just have My new website and my Facebook Page . For all recent shoots please visit my Facebook Page to view the photos, which is just the same as my blog :)

My photography business has taken off and become successful far quicker then I ever imagine, so I am absolutely loving all of the shoots I have happening at the moment. I need to put all my time into my family, myself and my work now, so having to update all three places is just a bit too much at this stage.

Thanks to everyone who follows my blog, I am sure I will come back again oneday, but for now I just want to stick with Facebook and my Website :) If you wish to contact me, my mobile is 0400668112 and my email is a.newmanphotos@gmail.com Amanda -xo-

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!
