Ave turned 7 yesterday, 7 days that it. Congratulations Amber on such a cute little girl!

It’s Brad and Elisha, you remember their wedding don’t you? (click here to know what all the cool kids already know)

Little shoot with the newest addition to the family, the very funky Willow. She is as awesome as her parents.

Another preview image is living on the Photobat facebook page, go check it out and like it if you wanna.

Renee and Nathan may look familiar to a few people, you may remember there from this wedding photo. That was years ago and now they have added Lachlan to the family. As per the wedding, standard location was thought about and then dismissed for something unique and a bit more meaningful. Enter Salamanca Market, the biggest and busiest market in Tasmania. So along with a cute 11 month old and 2 adoring parent we also had a few hundred Hobartians and tourists to work with. It was a bit of fun, one point I was walking backwards up the hill into a throng of small tourists who really were more interested in looking side to side at wooden fruit than straight ahead at the rapidlt approaching photographer in reverse mode.

Lachlan was awesome, such a great kid. This is really the best part of my job, hanging out with clients on their wedding days and then coming back and meeting the new additions when they turn up.

Ok, so this is a family portrait but I think you will agree that Max steels the show. He has the fortune to be both cute and adorable. A rare quality! I’ve known Jess since grade 7 where we were in the same class. Flash forward and we bumped into each other at a wedding and I was slightly distracted by the cute baby in her arms. Flash even more forward and Jess and Alister have moved into their new home and I was called on to help get something on the wall for the new family home.

Susanna and Dave dropped by for the standard planning session and in the usual chat the happens in every planning session it came out that David proposed on a roof top with a surprise picnic. Than it came out that they have had many other roof top picnics and experiences. It got me thinking about where we could do their first family portrait with Mariella. I didn’t have to think too much because outside the office window the view is dominated by the Mecure. A phone call and some meetings later and it was all set, sunset on the rooftop.

Susanna also took the nesting process to a whole new level turning their bed into a real nest with willow branches!

So, what about a different spot to do a portrait… how about Salamanca Market at lunchtime. Kinda hard to shoot, but lots of fun. More soon.

He’s actully really good at kicking the ball, sometimes the ball does need a little bit of fatherly help to keep it heading in the right direction.

Sid’s a bit cool. I like him heaps. Why? Not only because he has cool parents, who’s wedding I shot a few years back, but also he just has a heap of personality. Big eyes and smiles, that what he has going on. He’s going to be one for the ladies to look out for… that’s my prediction anyway!
