It's Christmas time ....
Well they don't call it the silly season for no good reason.Not only has the year flown by but now December is here and my youngest son, Joshua (3.5yrs old) keeps asking each morning if Santa has been - not long now!I've had a wonderful year with my photography with all my business coming from word of mouth. It's a powerful thing and I appreciate all the referrals from family and friends. All orders have been sent out and final orders for Xmas cards are going out this week.I'm looking forward to a special Christmas and also a really rewarding 2010.January is shaping up to be a really busy month. I'm booked solid with sessions and

I had a late afternoon session with Charlie and his parents last weekend. He was almost 1 year old and he had me running to capture some photos of him. I was running down the jetty, running under the jetty, running on the sand and running in the water. He is adorable and such an easy going little boy. Thank goodness, Katrina grabbed a few changes of clothing - he went through them all while attempting to join the kite surfers that day.Here are a few of my favourite photos of Charlie and his family.

I captured so many lovely photos from this session last weekend. Nothing was too much to ask and everyone went along with my ideas. The girls kept both Charlie and William laughing and smiling all morning with their beautiful songs.Take a look at Charlie - 7 months old and sitting like a pro.

You know you're going to get some fun photos when you have four gorgeous young boys, with the greatest smiles and terrific personalities. Of course it helps when looked as cool as they did in their gear - thanks Lisa ! Here's Perry ... too cool.

With the Christmas season sneaking up on us, things are getting pretty busy around here. Last weekend, I had so much fun photographing Annette and her gorgeous family. We started at this terrific park near their home with an old fashioned swing tied to a huge tree - the kids had a ball and I have some great action shots. Then we head down to a secluded little beach where we took some more photos - it was a lovely afternoon.Here are a few photos from the session - I hope you like them!
