How gorgeous is little Miss Lucy. Her hair is the most devine colour. She is soooo quiet - not a peep the whole time I was there! She almost got bundled up and brought home with me.

Just a tiny tummy ache...then back to sleep.

An afternoon in the Park.

2010-10-12T22:05:00.000+10:00

What a gorgeous afternoon in the park.

Blake was so full of beans on this day, that we spent the afternoon chasing him around the park and snapping in the split seconds he was still.

I think Dad was a little worn out by the end of it all.

But it was a whole heap of fun!

Happy Birthday Lachlan & Cooper

I know Larissa and her family from high school days so I was both little shocked and honored to be asked to be part of her and Ben's big day.

Larissa was so cool, calm and collected on the day.

Might I also add just a tad bit stunning!.

Ben, well, what can I say besides the fact that he is absolutely smitten with his new bride. He couldn't stop smiling!

Congratulations to you both and thank you sooo much for letting me be a part of your day! I had a blast! xoxoxo

It doesn't seem that long ago I was photographing Celeste and Chris's wedding day. I was thrilled to get a message from Celeste asking if she could book in a Maternity shoot with me. My reply -Of course she could!

Gem

2010-08-14T14:00:00.002+10:00

My "baby" cousin came to stay for a day a couple of weeks ago and I have finally had a chance to edit some photos I took of her.

After a whole day of shopping together, I just couldn't resist the light.

I just can't believe how grown up she looks.

Mostly Maddie

2010-08-09T10:47:00.000+10:00

I have been waiting for the chance to use this location. I have been driving past it for many years and waiting. Finally the day came and so did the gorgeous Miss Maddie, with the rest of her family of course. It was supposed to be family portrait session but no prizes for guessing who was the star of the show!

Kelley & Tim

2010-08-08T22:09:00.000+10:00

Ok so I hope you are ready for this massive post!

I just couldn't decide what to leave out. Enjoy.

Congratulations Kelley & Tim - I can't wait to take some more of you sometime soon ;-) !

Happy Birthday Blanche!

2010-07-28T21:36:00.000+10:00

Blanche received a wonderful gift from her family for her 21st ;-) birthday this year - a family session with Pink Images! We had chosen a location for photos but stumbled across the gorgeous light under this tree. I even got a chance to polish up on my signing (although I still haven't learnt any Dora songs) and even managed to get a few smiles.

I hope you enjoyed your birthday present Blanche! Happy Birthday xoxox

Keep Smiling!

Family Holiday

2010-07-26T18:53:00.000+10:00

I was lucky enough to meet the O'Bryan Clan on their recent holiday here on the beautiful Gold Coast.

The four sisters brought their families from all over the country to celebrate with Mum & Dad.

The sun was hiding on the day of our session but their spirits definitely weren't dampened (there were a few damp clothes in the end though).

I hope you all enjoyed you time here on the "Sunny" Gold Coast and that you love your photos!

Keep Smiling! xoxoxo

Finally!

2010-07-05T19:26:00.000+10:00

Here they are Jamie! I know you have been patiently waiting for your turn.

I first photographed Havana when she was only days old and now I have gotten to see her growing. I am in love with her gorgeous big eyes, masses of lashes and little ringlets of dark hair. Clinton - you're going to need to keep this one away from the boys!

Such a gorgeous little family, who have had a big few months and I love that I get to be a part of their lives to capture such precious moments.

We managed to get a few giggles out of Miss H and her gorgeous skirt was just too cute.

Oh, and let's not forget Mum and Dad, yep they're cute too!

Thanks for being so patient Jamie!

Keep Smiling! xoxox

http://www.pinkimages.com.au/

There is no such thing as "Too Cute!"

2010-07-01T22:30:00.000+10:00

Whoever said that has never met Master R. I was giggling just editing the photos.

I met up with Casey, Liam and Ryland on what was looking like a pretty dreary day - not to be the light ended up being awesome!

It was such a fun afternoon and Ryland definately seemed to enjoy the sand. YUM!

And there was even a spot for some lovey dovey photos, too.

I hope you enjoy the sneak peek Casey - I know you are just dying to see them. xoxox

Engaged!

2010-07-01T21:58:00.000+10:00

Ally and Josh are getting married in a few months and we had planned an engagement session for the two of them. But as things worked out, Master T and Miss A ended up tagging along after a big day out at Wintersun.

Just as well, because they are just too cute not to be included!

We even had a chance for Mum and Dad to have some "alone" shots while Miss A played with her toes and Master T expelled some energy.

Keep Smiling! xoxox

Just the three of us

2010-07-01T07:39:00.000+10:00

I love this little family!

Mummy, Daddy and Master B came out on a gorgeous (but chilly) morning.

We took photos at the same park we had used for their wedding photography just over a year ago. But this time they have a gorgeous little boy!

Blair decided to have a short nap halfway through but we went with it and he did some great sleep posing.

We're Going on a Shark Hunt

2010-06-29T12:03:00.000+10:00

Just as well I picked up a cup of caffeine on the way to this shoot!

Mum & Dad definitely have their hands full with this little tribe.

Not long after starting, Master Two decided he'd had enough, I suggested we should go on a bear hunt, but apparently sharks are more interesting, so off we went instead to hunt sharks.

We had lots of fun chasing children, singing songs, lot's of jumping & some seriously silly dancing.

Laura & Rod, Thanks for coming out for a play and I hope you enjoy the photos!

Awaiting Baby

2010-06-28T11:03:00.003+10:00

Such a gorgeous bump for a stunning mum-to-be.

Congratulations Melissa, Gavin, Zach & Amelia on your newest family member! I can't wait to meet her!

This is a recent Mummy & Me session with Miss H and her mum. We had a great afternoon (even with the rain) driving around & around...& around (shhhh Tanya lol). Miss H was a trooper and put up with numerous wardrobe changes. Thanks for coming out in such yucky weather Tanya - I had a ball - and I hope you like this little sneak peek!
