SWEET BABY GORDY | IPSWICH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | RACEVIEW PORTRAIT STUDIO

Meet sweet little Gordy, he was our special little Christmas baby, he was actually due on Christmas Day, but he was a perfect little gift who arrived early.

  Having beautiful photos of your baby when they are only just a few days old is very special. Imagine this little man when he is older looking at these photos of himself, I hope he looks back with smiles … 

Those first few weeks as a parent fly by in a blur ever so quickly. Quite often thinking about getting some photos taken is not high on the agenda when you are sleep deprived, your world has been turned upside down by the arrival of your new little addition. But believe me, you forget so quickly. They are only little for such a short time and newborn features disappear even more quickly. Those funny little expressions, flakey skin and tiny toes are soon replaced by smiles and chubby rolls. This is why I encourage mums to be to book in for their newborn session before your baby actually arrives and we can change the date if need be once you deliver. Looking back on photos of your tiny baby is something really special.

Straight from heaven up above...

Here is a baby boy,

For you to Love ~ Dumbo

TRISTAN'S FAMILY PORTRAIT | IPSWICH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | HAIGSLEA PRIVATE PROPERTY

Capturing connection between families is the best part of the portrait session ~ the natural interaction between father and son, mummy and her baby boy. Feeling the love these parents have for their little boy, is what I love to photograph.  I can see the love between this family, but you can feel it in their photos.  As Piglet asked Pooh - "How do you spell LOVE??" Pooh replies "You don't spell it, you feel it"

NOAH'S FAMILY PORTRAIT | IPSWICH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | PRIVATE PROPERTY

Noah's mummy had a very clear vision for her family portraits, even the props were supplied by her and the location was another trick up her sleeve, It was my job to execute her vision, and that I did.  Never have I come across such a lovely person and beautiful family.  Noah is very lucky to have Renee and Josh as his parents.

Family is everything. We're born into it, made for it and spend our lives growing it. It's about legacy. Everything that Josh and I are together in marriage, Noah already is by himself. Children take the best parts of who you are and build upon the ground you establish. Family changes everything! Noah has brought such joy into our lives. He makes us more aware of the hidden, little wonders in every day and causes our eyes to turn to what is truly important. Children have a gift of finding significance in anything, not matter how small. This is how we should live! As he discovers new sounds and sights, we find ourselves rediscovering the whole world around us too. I love his depth of character, the strength and determination and willingness to give anything a go. But what I love most is that he never gives up. What a privilege it is to see the gifts within him and spend our days stewarding a son into the call upon his life! ~ Renee

Here's what Renee had to say:
"Sam did family photos for us and we are so happy with the result! She is patient, creative and understanding of all issues associated with trying to shoot with a little one (Noah was 7 months at the time and we'd had a shocker of a day with no more than 20mins sleep. The little trooper was so tired!) But Sam showed great professionalism and patience with us throughout the experience. We actually had a lot of fun! In an industry where photographers are a dime a dozen, Sam is truly one of a kind. She has not only blessed us by capturing a moment in our lives, she's also blessed our families with beautiful portraits for years to come"

ETHAN'S FAMILY PORTRAIT | IPSWICH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | WALLOON PROPERTY

Meet Ethan and his family.  

Stevi, him mummy, is expecting little boy number two in the last image.  At the time of their family portraits we were both pregnant, almost the same distance through, our little boys are only 8 weeks apart.  How blessed am I to have so many little boys to photograph lately.  

Stevi quite often says that Ethan is quite the little cyclone at home,  he looks far to innocent to be into mischief, perhaps a little devil in disguise??

TOMAS'S FAMILY PORTRAIT | IPSWICH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | WALLOON PROPERTY

I have been lucky enough to document this little families milestones since Toni and Joel were expecting their first baby boy.  Here he is again almost one year later.

When Toni was scheduling their session, she mentioned that Tomas was almost walking.  Quick I said, we need to have your session just before he is off and running, or we'll never catch him.  Perfect timing I say!!

FREEMAN FAMILY PORTRAIT | IPSWICH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | GOLD COAST BEACHES

Capturing the essence of your family in photos — whether it's the wonder and amazement of exploring sand and sea shells for the first time, or capturing the unique and loving bond between father and son — is one of the greatest pleasures. I love candid shots during family portraits, expressions, emotions and intimate moments that will leave you shedding a tear or two — through a smile.

PRINCESS IVY | IPSWICH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | RACEVIEW PORTRAIT STUDIO

RYLEE'S FAMILY PORTRAIT | IPSWICH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | HAIGSLEA PROPERTY

I've seen this little fella from just a bump in his mummy's belly.  Now almost turning ONE.  How time flies.

I just love the wonder and curiosity of this age.  Amy knew exactly what she wanted for this shoot and supplies all of the props.  All I had to do was execute her vision.  I think I passed.

SWEET BABY ALEXANDER | IPSWICH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | RACEVIEW PORTRAIT STUDIO

Meet Alexander!!

I first met Tai and Darren from the Pregnancy Babies and Children's Expo, and finally got to meet their handsome little man for his newborn portraits some months later.  Here's precious little Alexander, from what I remember he was 4 weeks old at his session, but came into the world a little early, so still so sleepy for being a little older than I usually photograph.

Nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby!!  I could just sit and watch my baby sleep like this ALL.DAY.LONG
