Newborn Photography in Brisbane

I had the cutest little newborn to photograph yesterday.... he was such a little darling :) He didn't actually sleep much but he didn't cry much either :) He was so little and curly....was 2 weeks old but was 3 weeks early...so technically he should still be in the belly!!

Here are a couple of shots so far :)

Brisbane City : The Victory Hotel Burnt Down on the weekend!

so anyone who knows Brisbane has heard of the Victory hotel....and if you haven't you must live under a rock! lol The Victory is one of the most well known night spots of Brisbane Australia. In the wee hours of Sunday morning...a fire in the basement started & now the Victory Hotel is no more.... the popular night spot was in full swing, therefore it had to be evacuated. Thankfully there were no serious injuries or fatalities... a few people were treated for smoke inhalation.... and I am sure that there were many intoxicated people to contend with.

I was in the city on Sunday for a Hunt & Shoot with my Camera Club.... so took the opportunity to take some photos..... also took a few of the Treasury Building.

Pullenvale and Sunday :)

Went to a big model shoot at Pullenvale on Sunday...what an awesome location for photos...the property is being cultivated as a photography site so there are some lovely places to shoot....including a very old barn, very old wooden fencing...and the loveliest old rickety wooden bridge! I would love to have that so readily available!!

So I had a fantastic time...a bit overwhelming at times and I was absolutely exhausted by the end of it.....and had just under 1000 photos to my name by the end of it :)


There were a number of models there and I am not even sure I got photos of all of them?? lol But I think I got some pretty good shots that I am pretty happy with...and will add them as time goes by....including some more adding of shots I have taken over the past few weeks....had so much going on I have thousands of images to process its going to take me a while!!!


So here we go................... a few shots from the Pullenvale shoot!

Hooray its Wednesday!

Morning, just thought I would add a few more of the pics I have been editing lately.........

These first ones were taken in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago when I was down there visiting a friend.....





Last night I thought I would set up my backdrop stand and one of the backdrops I bought about 6 weeks ago....and test out my new lights (well one of them anyway) for the first time since I bought them when I was sick about 4 weeks ago. Dante was the only guinea pig home, and he is not too keen on his photo being taken...so I didn't get perfect photos but some were cute anyway...most of the time he wasn't in front of the backdrop properly though and no matter how hard I tried he didn't want to stay! rofl Will add some more once I edit them.
And a few more pics of the girls taken a few weeks ago....the first one was Krista's idea...she wanted to make it look like she had no hands...just a bit of fun :)




And just one more of the edits from the BCG portrait workshop I did a week or so ago. Looking forward to the next shoot with BCG which is on 20/7.


I am going to the medieval fayre this saturday so I am hoping to get some great photos from that :) Also get some ideas for Krista & Bella's headwear for the medieval feast on their scout camp which is in September :) Sunday I have my Studio course with Rod Talbot......just looking forward to more experience behind the lights so I can feel I know what I am doing a bit more so I can practice on my kids....if they will co-operate! rofl
Later!
