Over the years I’ve filled up many hard drives of images taken for no reason than for my own self interest. Some make it onto the blog, some get entered into the awards and some just sit about and gather virtual dust.

Well, I’ve just completed some dusting and uncovered a heap of images that I’m proud of and though that I should open them up to everyone who would like one. The Photobat Print Shop is now open offering affordable photographic prints that are ideal to put on that blank spot on the wall, place on the bookshelf or even to give to someone as a present so they can enjoy it.

Some of my favourite images are included, and it is the first time I’ve offered prints of “The Caravan” (8 inch version pictured above on my mantle at home) one of my most popular images.

All prints come unframed and will be delivered within 10 days of ordering. For Launceston buyers I will throw in a special discount card so you can get your print framed.

To celebrate the launch of the Photobat Print Shop, we are offering free shipping on all orders made until the 25^th of November.  Plus if you order 3 you will get 20% off.

Please head over to the Print Shop and have a browse. I plan on adding images to the collection over time as I take new ones. Also, if there is an image of mine that you love that you would like to see in the shop please leave a comment and I’ll see if I can dig it up for you.

Summer is nearly here and this year we are going to the beach to capture the magical charm of informal lifestyle sessions of your family while all relaxed on your breakaway.

Our east coast portrait sessions are going to be extended 2 hour sessions, meaning we can design the session around your favourite beach, the shack or a mix of a couple of spots.
Imagine the great shots we will get of you all building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, running with the dog or doing anything you love to do while on holiday.

We also guarantee we will come to you for a next day viewing of your images so you can select what artworks, albums and other products you would love to have to remember your holiday.

Normally our extended, quick turnaround sessions are $395, but for our east coast sessions we are offering these sessions for $220 with an added bonus of special holiday album/wall art rates.

Book now  as there are only a limited number of sessions available, click here to get in touch or give us a call on 0407 848 734.

Remember, extended sessions, quick turn around and awesome holiday special rates and limited sessions!

Christmas is coming up soon, seriously it’s only like 13 weeks away. We always get slammed in November / December with portrait sessions and sometimes we have to disappoint people because we don’t have enough time to fit them in.

So this in mind, if you would love to get some family portraits done and have them ready for Christmas presents (or just to have some new artworks on your wall to make other visiting family members jealous about how good you look) we have an early bird special for you.

The special includes:

Your Planning Session

A Personalised Family Portrait Session

Your Purchasing Session

20 Custom Christmas Cards

and $250 Credit Towards Your Artworks

Valued at $530

Early bird special only $75.

We only have 7 sessions left at the early bird rate so please get in touch and we can fill you in on all the details. So give us a call now on 6334 8789 or click here to make an enquiry.

Note, only avaliable for familoy portraits and to be shot by mid November 2011.

It seems to be baby season at the moment, I’m seeing so many bumps getting around town and it’s hard to believe we were in the same boat 12 months ago. Another session type we are shooting in the Natural Light Studio is pregnancy/couple shoots.

It’s a great opportunity to have a great time, get some pampering and get some fantastic images of this really special time. If you wanted to bring along the man in your life it can also be a great experience for him too. This is a great way for him to show his excitement and love (rather than just putting together all the flat pack baby furniture… I’m not that great at doing that).

There are a few different styles we can do in these sessions, unlike the perception out there; it’s not all about getting your gear off. You can if you want to but the majority of sessions we do with expectant mums are fully clothed.

We still are offering the outdoor run around and play sessions for pregnancy, the studio is just a new style. We can even do both on the same day if you like. There will be more from Scott and Daisy soon with the second part of this shoot being shot out in the city.

Thanks to Scott and Daisy for helping us test out the studio and good luck on your soon to arrive bundle of cuteness. And to Designer Bride for the great job on hair and make up.

Remember out $110 special for the Natural Light Studio? Well it’s still on for sessions until the end of October. Email me now and we can fill you in on all the details.
