Pink, isn’t it every little girls favourite colour? Well it seems to be for Georgie and Danika when we did theis really fun family shoot at the museum. I know Scott through BNI and he wanted to have his family shot, so I happily obliged.

The colours woked fantastic in this spot, I love the contrast colours with the door. Plus these girls were little balls of energy, all over the place!

Thanks again for a fantastic shoot, there are so many more fun shots that I should post from this shoot!

I had no idea who Justin Herald was until a couple of weeks ago, I was even standing next to him ordering a drink, no idea. About an hour after the bar I discovered he was speaking at the seminar V and I were attending, and that he is a bit of a business and motivational machine. From starting with his Attitude brand of clothing for $50 he borrowed from his brother, he turned it into a multi million dollar empire. And now he has a heap of books and uses his money to, amongst other things, build orphanages is Africa.

If you get a chance to see Justin speak, go see him. He is a fantastic presenter with a delivery style reminiscen of some of my favourite comedians, not the ones that go for the quick one liners, but the ones who tell a great story that make you think.

Yes, a shoe shot. Apparently this shot represents a third of Justin’s shoe wardrobe, the other two thirds being comprised of a pair of thongs and something a little more dressy.

Some baby are destined to be models, paying up to the camera, looking cute and even making cute noises. Lucky is one of those babies! Any one know a casting agent for Huggies?

When Zoe came in for her pre shoot chat I realised that her husband Simon was a few years above me at school and he was a prefect! Probably told me to pull up my socks a few times.

The poodle Poppy was great to, very photogenic!

Big blue eyes too

and Lucy loves to play with glases.. she nearly got a hold of mine.

 And how could I not take a photo of Poppy,she had to spend most of the shoot outside.

More next week

Acouple of weeks ago i had a heap of fun shooting the Birchmore family, especially playing around with the boys Thomas, Harry and William. They each had very distinct personalities and it was fantastic that I managed to capture them all!

These shots were taken for the kid’s grandfather, and taken at the bandstand in city park because it was a favourite spot of their Grandmother

I’m sure you will be hearing more about the Birchmors in the coming months, they are new owners of Pierre’s in Launceston which, from what I’ve been told, will be completely revitalised once the renovations are completed and be a brilliant place to grab a coffee, some food or even have your function in the center of the city.

Thanks again guy for letting take some shot, I really was a really fun shoot!

Ok, it’s 1.10am. Being up this late means I’ve been being a bit geeky and doing website things. A WHOLE NEW SECTION. Yep, this is the biggest thing to happen to the website since I accidentally broke it last year.

So head over to www.photobat.net and click on the portrait gallery. It’s now divided up into sections covering, Pregnancy, Babies, Commercial, Couples, Kids, Families, Individuals and finally Pets. It’s still got some tweaking to do,find some more photos, add some more text, but it’s up and I can’t wait for you to see it!

Next post… is about communications…

Way back in April Rob and Susan were expecting an arrival. So I went out to take some photos. I had heard stories about Rob’s childhood feline companion Arnie, so had to get him in a few shots.

After doing a pregnancy shoot for Susan and Rob we waited for little Max to show up so we could do a newborn shoot… we waited… he waited… we waited… he waited… and finally he decided to show his face well after he was supposed to. Max arrived the day before my wedding so we had to wait until he was a little older to do shoot. I’m sure you will agree it was worth the wait. He was a great little guy to photograph, pity about the dad (just kidding Rob!!)

The shoot ended with a very loud example of Max’s lungs. But by the time we got there we had the all the shots. I even got another one of Arnie!

Thanks again for letting us come and share some time you and your little boy! Also, help feed max by buying ,lots and lots of jewelry from Jim Hughes and Sons, Rob and Susan’s business. It’s where we got our rings from and ever one loves them!

I have just added about 2 months worth of images into the portrait of the week section of Photobat.net. For those new, i set myself a little challenge to do a portrait each week just for practice. That was about 270 weeks ago and i’m still going.

The above shot isn’t in the Portrait of the Week, there is a different one. I thought i’d put up an other shot of the Albanian accordian playing busker/begger from Athens. He seemed to be a hit from the post below.
