IPSWICH CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHER | MUNBILLA PROPERTY | ELSIE

I had never been out to Munbilla, so this little drive west was going to be loads of fun.  Of course a new location and a darling little girl to photograph for the afternoon.  We had lots of time and wardrobe changes, playing with my brand new basket, purchased especially for this session.  Elsie reminded me so much of my own little girl, they are really close in age, and doing many of the same things.  Makes me want to do another session of my baby girl, perhaps I should put that at the top of my list of important things to do!!

IPSWICH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | HAIGSLEA PROPERTY | ALEISHA & PAITON


I will never get bored with this location, and I will never get tired of photographing here.  Each time, it is different.  I always manage to see things a little differently each time I visit.  It is a favourite location among my clients and it is for me too.  This is a large acreage property at Haigslea, only a 15 minute drive from Ipswich.  I love that we can drive for a short time from the city and be in the country.  

I have actually lost count of the portrait sessions I have captured with Aleisha.  I love that we both have such a passion for photography, and how important it is to Aleisha that each of her and her families milestones are captured.  Needless to say that I will be lucky enough to watch her children grow as I photograph their milestones for many more years, how lucky I am.  Here are a couple of images from her recent Maternity session, I hope you enjoy them.


Pregnancy ~ a labour of LOVE

IPSWICH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | IPSWICH STUDIO | AMELIA

Little baby Amelia was every bit as sweet as she looks here.  Such a darling little girl and so peaceful.  Captured here at 2.5 weeks of age, such a good little girl, as it's generally harder to achieve these poses, all the while keeping baby asleep.  My home based studio offers the perfect controlled environment for newborn portraits, fully equipped with heating and cooling, gentle soft music and props, blankets, headbands, beanies and wraps.  Sam I am sessions are NEVER rushed and there is always plenty of time and room for feeding and settling the new baby, and most importantly new mums can feel right at home on the lounge and relax with a cup of coffee and a book, while I get to work my magic and create gorgeous images of your brand new addition.

  "Where-soever you go,
Go with all your heart"
~Confucius

One of my most frequently asked questions is..... when is the ideal time to book in for your newborn portraits?.....There really isn't a hard or fast rule, it depends on the images that you want, typically under two weeks is ideal if it's the sleepy images you are after. Ideally, under 7 days is perfect.  Newborn babies tend to become less sleepy at around the 10 day mark, and are a little harder to settle.  Most expecting mother's pre-book their sessions for around their due date, and change this date according to when baby arrives.  I always keep spare weekday sessions for newborns so I can remain flexible in scheduling sessions.  

If you would like to pre-book or simply chat more about booking a session for your newborn baby, I would love to chat with you more, feel free to visit our websiteemail me or call 0419731709.

IPSWICH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | REDCLIFFE BEACHES | STEPH & TODD


We were very lucky to stumble across this location along the beaches at Redcliffe for Steph and Todds Maternity Portraits.  I hadn't been to this location before so I arrived early to find the perfect spot.  Perfect it was. 

There's something exciting about visiting a new place, with new clients, I always try and give each client a different experience and use different ideas, after all why shouldn't your portrait session be as unique as you are???



If you are unsure of the process, this is the "Sam I am" way.....there is no guess work, and nothing is left to chance.  Each session is carefully planned out to look just the way YOU intended.  Upon making contact with me, I will schedule a Pre Portrait Design Consultation - a no obligation "chat" to discuss what you are looking for to ensure I am the right photographer for you. We will also discuss locations, clothing choices, make-up, pricing, contracts and any other concerns you may have. This is also a fantastic opportunity for me to meet you in person so you don't have to deal with a "complete stranger" on the day of your creative session.  This is just the beginning the Portrait process.  

All you need to do is make first contact....easy!
