It's my Birthday! Soooooo I'm handing out the gifts to YOU!

It's my birthday today and I'm in a giving mood!

As a Mum myself I know all too well that images of Mums and their kids together are in short supply. Usually it is us behind the camera taking pictures but we never seem to get in them ourselves! Treat yourself or even your own Mum to some updated images this Mothers Day - Gift Vouchers are available right up to the night before Mothers Day - all you need to do is simply print, give Mum a massive hug and kiss, then hand over the voucher - I'll organise the rest!

To celebrate Mothers Day this year I am offering two free 6"x8" images PLUS one massive 8"x12" print for each Mothers Day session booked. Offer is only available to the first 10 bookings. Sessions can be held at any time during 2012 once the session fee is paid. This special must be mentioned at the time of booking to secure the free prints. Contact me at info@splashphotography with 'Mothers Day' in the subject line for more details. 

Go on, show Mum just how much you love her this year with a timeless keepsake of the two of you. Alternatively you can simply treat yourself! Looking forward to hearing from you.

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.

The big 5 - 0 {Brisbane Event Photographer}

I am a little (a lot!) behind in blogging at the moment - for a good reason - I'm flat out! So in the mad chaotic world that is mine at the moment I have finally found some time to sit down and blog the event below. 

Just over a month ago now I captured George's (Georgio to his friends) 50th Birthday Party. In a lovely home surrounded by friends and family, George celebrated and reminisced over the past years. It's so nice to see a group of friends who have gone through school together still joking around like it was yesterday. It was wonderful to meet you all and I trust you had a fabulous night!

Little girls have a magic all to their own {Brisbane Child Photographer}

As a mother of two boys, little girls are a novelty for me. I've grown used to the rough and tumble of boys, the ingrained interest in jumping off things, karate fighting moves and air guitar sessions......Girls on the other hand are still just as energetic but they have an ingrained love of clothes, hair accessories, lip gloss and just looking too darn cute! 

I photographed Amelia (her parents affectionately call her Amie) the day before her 5th Birthday. Amelia's parents have had her photographed every year for her birthday and the images are becoming a wonderful collage on their wall along with a daily reminder of how quickly children grow, change and develop their own unique personalities. 

That's what I have always loved about photographs, they capture that moment in time forever and are a constant reminder of how quickly life and the years can zoom past.

When was the last time you updated your family portraits? If you are overdue (or simply just due) please contact me at info@splashphotograpy.com.au for pricing and availability.

When family comes together {Brisbane Family Photographer}

This is the third time I have photographed little Angus and the second time that the session has included his parents Jason and Meighan who are dear friends of mine. When Jason's daughter Brodie was visiting from NZ over Christmas they asked if I could update their family photos. Brodie is one of the sweetest girls I know and stunning to say the least! Little Angus is due to turn 1 (on Friday!) and anyone who has had children would know 12 months is an age where sitting still for photos becomes quite low on the priority list, especially when the family dog keeps running in and out of shot or you are expected to sit at the bottom of a staircase when all you want to do is climb up it! I love watching families grow,  I love seeing a family all together at once and I LOVE capturing it on camera xx

Chempro/Amcal Christmas Party

Christmas Parties are always a lot of fun, even more so when you have 600 guests in attendance! Just a few weeks before Christmas the Chempro/Amcal Christmas Party was held at the Gold Coast Convention Centre. With a Spellbing & Mysterious theme it was sure to be a great night for those attending. The surprise entertainer on the night was Cosentino (Australia's Got Talent) with his magic and illusion show. I can't say I've ever seen someone swallow razor blades and survive the night!

A big thank you to Sheryn for assisting on the night - you were invaluable!

Venue: Gold Coast Convention Centre
Client: Chempro/Amcal
Entertainment: Cosentino

Happy New Year everyone!

Phew! How quickly did Christmas fly by this year? I trust you all have a wonderful festive season surrounded by your nearest and dearest! I would like to wish everyone all the very best for 2012, it is looking to be a big year.

I have finally find time to blog my last family portrait session for 2011. This session had me on my toes right from the start! Little Connor was full of beans and once we got past the inital 'shy' stage he was running all over the house and yard showing me every nook and cranny of their garden. Both Connor and his big sister Siobhan have the most stunning blue eyes and sweet personalities to boot. Thank you for opening up your home to me, it was such a pleasure to meet this beautiful family.
