I know I've been  pretty slack with my blogging lately so I am trying to catch up.

I had the chance to photograph the stunning and beautiful Ellen for a model portfolio (whom I've know since she was 6) and wow didn't this lady know how too rock her session and has been the only adult I've had so far that has wanted to use the kids little prop pink lounge and she pulled it off in style.

I love Ellen's style and personality and she truly knows how to rock any pose I threw at her.

Thank you to my wonderful professional hair & makeup team Taneka & Erin for another awesome job.

I was lucky enough to be asked to take some promotional images for this lovely, amazing local tattoo artist Kristy.

Kristy came into the session with her own strong fun ideas and instead of my bright colors she wanted a darker feel too her images, I am pretty sure we cover that, I did throw a little bit of color in.

Kristy is based on the Mid North Coast of NSW,  you can find her doing the most amazing pieces of art on people's bodies at Wildfire in Port Macquarie but be sure too book quick as she books out.

Thank-you for allowing me too shoot this fun session and I hope you all enjoy them.

I've just started offering Tween sessions and what a way to start it off by than with the gorgeous Miss Abby, it was a freezing winter afternoon but despite being cold Abby still rocked her session.

She had decided she wanted an outdoor country theme session so off to location we went and were super blessed with this horse decided to see what was going on and pop his head out, perfect!

Thankyou Miss Abby for the wonderful session :)

You might remember earlier this year I ran a "Pay it forward" glamour session give away, I was flooded with deserving people and the stories that loved one's or friends had written too me, it was simply too hard too chose on my own so I enlisted the help of my makeup artist Erin too help chose.

As we sat down to read through all the emails we managed to narrow it down to three deserving ladies, than two and than one, I think it was one of the harder choices I've had too make as I normally leave these giveaways and competitions up to a random choice draw so thankyou Erin for helping me.

Kimmy's had recently under gone a round of chemo and had not been feeling "pretty" or so too speak, the week before I decided to run this give away Kimmy's niece Emily whom had nominated her had just had a conversation about wanting to feel pretty again and get dressed up, and what a perfect away to do so, myself and my team were so blessed to of been able to work with this amazing inspiring women and I was brought too tears with her lovely words,

"I was so lucky to be chosen for the "pay it forward" photo session,wow where do i start,i have nothing but praise for these women who worked their magic on me. After months of chemo,my hair has started to grow back but its still hard at times to look at my reflection,i was a little nervous but the atmosphere as soon as you enter Mel's studio is so comfortable,everyone there is so friendly and chat...ty it just relaxed me straight away.I don't wear make up or get dressed up so this was fun to be pampered and have Erin do my make-up and Taneka somehow managed to do something magic to my hair to make it look better. And meanwhile Mel just knew what outfits i should where and how i should pose and clicked that camera at all the right angles and at all the right times.I have to say i left her studio on such a high,the session just boosted my confidence so much and i hadn't even seen the photo's yet.Lucky for me she posted a few photo's and i was so overwhelmed,i really couldn't believe that it was me ! and you only have to see the response on my facebook page to see everyone else's reaction,at last count i had 64 "likes" and about 52 "comments" all this in a space of an hour !!! i highly recommend having photo's done by Mel and your make-up and hair done by erin and tanika,spoil yourself and get the whole package its worth it.A thousand thank you's to Mel,Erin and Taneka"

Thankyou for allowing myself to capture you and your beautiful nature and wow what a knock model you look I was completely blown away with her natural model ability and amazing features, just look at her eye WOW!

If you know someone who you thinks deserves a makeover glamour session send them my way or better yet I have gift vouchers up for purchase surprise them, I love nothing better than seeing these women walk out of my studio feeling a thousand times better and more confident than they were when they walked in.

Enjoy

I had the most AMAZING session with Taneka & her mum, it was a chance for them both too get all pampered with Hair & makeup and create some beautiful lasting memories of them both, even more special now taneka is also a mum to a cute little boy Master Peter.

Tankea's mum Debra was amazing she came into this session with no real expectations and walked out of my studio feeling a million dollars (and looking it too might I add) I only hope I look as amazing as this Nanna does.

If your lucky enough to experience one of these pamper sessions, you'll get the chance to meet miss Taneka as she is our studio hair dresser and a wonderful women too, you will fall in love with her beautiful personality as Erin and I both have.

I cant wait too see one of these images hanging as a large canvas in your salon Miss Tankea :-)

I can not forget to put some images up of Tankea's little man Mater Peter 3.5 months and oh how he is going to make the girls swoon when he's older.

I just love the faces he pulls, he cracks me up here are just a few for you all xo
