e-shoot: Chelsea + Brett

For a couple who have never done a shoot before, they look completely at ease in front of the camera! And don't they look incredible?? Almost as good as the story of their engagement... Brett asked the very important question at a Beatenberg concert - while they played Chelsea Blakemore (Chelsea's favourite band, song and apparently her ideal proposal story). Sorry guys, but I think Brett has just raised the standard on proposals?!

I love meeting new couples and getting the opportunity to capture something of their personalities in my images; I hope these do justice... 

 

Beth's Ballerina Birthday

Pretty pink ballerinas, a gorgeous pink tutu cake (with cupcakes)... once again, I was in my Happy Girly Place! I really do love kiddie birthday parties; its always such fun to see a little person being celebrated by her family and friends - and how adorable is this little girl? Beth is just so loving and affectionate; such a cutie!

 

 

 

 

The Gorgeous Glover Girls...

I love it when families are excited about their shoot: clothes have been carefully chosen, a plan has been made to keep little ones occupied... and these gorgeous girls even came ready with creative ideas and some seriously great props: I loved it! And to top all of that off, the sun broke through the weekend's clouds to give us the most beautiful golden light - and then disappeared again soon after we were done.  

Shoots like this one simply reinforce my feelings that photographing families is such a blessing; being able to capture something of the essence of each personality and the way each person fits, is so very, very special.  Thank you Glover Family for allowing me to spend a fun afternoon with you.
