Sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are.... {Brisbane Family Photographer}

We all know of life tends to get the better of us most days. We are all 'too busy' we all have 'too little money', 'too little time' etc etc...familiar tune? We complain about how little we have, how much we want, how it would only be easier if....... And yes, to some extend that is true for the majority of us, life would be easier if we didn't have to stress about paying the bills or splurging on a treat for the kids. Sometimes though it's nice to get a kick up the pants and reminded about how lucky we actually are and how much we actually have - it's that word perspective that indeed puts you back in your place.


At my son's school Market Night earlier this year I had a stall displaying my images to promote my portrait sessions. I donated a prize to be drawn during the night for a photography session to the value of $590. When this particular family won, it just felt right. For one, they had entered numerous tickets into my raffle with all fingers crossed and secondly comments from their friends upon hearing they won indicated they were a well deserving family. And yes, they were. While planning their session I found out that one of their daughters has a serious medical condition and was about to start treatment. The timing of these images were very important as she would not look the same during and after the treatment. They were wanting to capture themselves as they were right then in that moment of time. Even by the time they received their images post session they commented that they hadn't realised how much their daughter had changed in such a small space of time due to her treatment.
 
Our health is something I truly believe we all take for granted (myself included). Days goes by and we put things off till later, we are always looking to the future until something shocks us into realising how important 'right now' actually is.

It's nice to know that 'luck' actually does fall on people who deserve it.  This particular family is often in my thoughts and prayers hoping that their daughter comes out of treatment with a positive result xxx

"I've never met anyone like that...." {Brisbane Portrait Photographer}

I am WAY behind in my blogging! Sorry, it always seems the more behind I get the harder it is to find the time to even attempt to get up to date. But on this rainy Brisbane day (at the time of typing) I've found some time! Even though I was tempted to say 'lets just start from my current sessions' I wanted to show you all the amazing people I've been lucky enough to work with over the past few months.

The couple below you may remember from the first image I posted on my Facebook Page a while back. These images were from their engagement session earlier this year (the wedding blog with images from their beautiful day is still to come!). So thankful that I have met this couple, beautiful people (along with their super adorable daughter) with an extended family that are just as special xx

The quote on the first image is a direct quote from Kristy when asked one of the things she loves most about Dan. I think the image says it all......

When was the last time you felt beautiful? {Brisbane Boudoir & Glamour Photographer}

As women we are our own worst critiques. We always think we need to be thinner/fitter/healthier/ have longer hair/nails blah blah blah. We waste too much time saying I'll have those photos take of me (or even just updated family portraits) when loose some weight. DO IT NOW! You will never be the way you are now. How many times have you looked back on images of yourself and thought "Gee I wish I knew how attractive I was back then, I wish I loved my body THEN"?? Well trust me, you will do exactly the same thing in 5 years time. So don't regret not having your portrait taken now - give me a call, lock it in and I promise you won't regret it!

Splash Photography is now offering Boudoir Glamour Photography Sessions. Come along and be treated to one hour of hair and make up pampering followed by a photographic session that will show off the best in you! 

A testimonial from a recent session: "I can't stop looking at myself......I was feeling out of shape and old and about to turn 39 and you've made me feel like Megan Gale!" What a wonderful feeling to have :)

Clients are taken step by step through the process of selecting clothing, how to pose all in a comfortable environment (with a female photographer) .....the nerves will float away....

Boudoir session fees are $150 with image packages starting from $200.

If you know your partner struggles every year for Mother Day gift ideas - drop a little hint to let them know I do Gift Vouchers!

AND I'm pleased to announce that I will be offering this session to Kassy S & Toni-Ann R! Congratulations ladies! I'll be in touch with all the details by the end of next week.

How much cuter can you get? {Brisbane Family Photographer}

On a beautiful afternoon I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family. Now beauty as they say is only skin deep and I personally truly believe that beauty comes from within. When I'm taking photos of families who have beautiful souls it shows in their images. These are the sessions we live for as a photographers, the sessions where you walk away and just know you have amazing images on your camera and you just can't wait to upload them and start sorting through them. These are the images that you find yourself smiling while editing - it's a fabulous feeling and something that keeps us (well me at least) going back for more. 

You might remember little Miss M below if you follow my Facebook page when I links to a blog "How to make a baby smile"  about the surprise I found in her eyes while editing an image. 

When I arrived home from the session below my husband asked "How did it go" and I reply "Great...." :) He looked at me surprised as I'm usually quite reserved in my judgement until I sort and edit my images but I just knew I had some crackers after this one. Dan manages the Go Kart Centre at Eagle Farm which is a load of fun and Leisa is an amazing Naturopath whom I'll forever be grateful towards after she got my body back on track after a very bad time in July this year. I had lost 8kgs in two weeks and wasn't able to eat anything without being in extreme pain. My GP was simply trying to put a bandaid on the problem and not looking for a solution so after weeks of frustration (and pain) I was recommended to Leisa and remarkably feeling so much better in just a few days. So apart from just simply being a beautiful person she knows how to get people healthy from the inside out! Thanks again Leisa and Dan, looking forward to photographing you again in the future when Miss M (with the super chubbiest cheeks) is a bit older!

Newborn Delights {Brisbane Newborn Photographer}

Yes it's been far too long since I've posted anything on here. To be honest I'm still trying to get back into a routine following my USA trip, Easter and School Holidays!

For now I just wanted to pop a sweet photo of a little newborn shoot I did just a few days before I headed overseas. Newborn's would be my favourite subjects by far to photograph - hands down. They are just so sweet, so little, so bendy, so gooshy....I could go on :)

I would love to continue to grow my newborn portfolio so if you know of anyone who is having a baby soon, please let them know to drop me a line to discuss pricing. Newborns are best photographed in their first 5-9 days so it is best to plan ahead to ensure availability. Email me at info@splashphotography.com.au if you have any questions.
