IPSWICH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | RACEVIEW STUDIO | MASTER BRAXTON

Braxton's mummy began planning his newborn session in the early days of her pregnancy, so needless to say that while the anticipation for them to meet their precious little boy was beyond words, I also was eagerly awaiting his arrival and could not wait to meet him.  He is known by the family as the little miracle baby.  He is such a handsome little man  and has his mummy and daddy lost for words.

IPSWICH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | HAIGSLEA PROPERTY | LISA & WAYNE

As I too am anticipating the birth of a baby, I know only too well the emotions and changes that occur within the body.  It really is such a surreal feeling....one that is hard to describe.  The physical changes are obvious, the feelings inside and emotions, not so obvious.  I love capturing the beauty of the expanding pregnant belly.  Every woman who is pregnant exudes that glow, that there is another life stirring on the inside, and yet it is only you who knows what that feels like.  It's such a precious feeling, those little kicks, hiccups, flutters from within, simply the most amazing feeling.

Lisa had requested the country for her Maternity Portraits, this property can to mind immediately...so a short drive out to my favourite place for their session - Haigslea.

I wish Lisa all the best with the arrival of her little bundle of joy.....♥

IPSWICH PET PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | FLINDERS VIEW VET SURGERY | SARAH & ANDREW

Pet's and their humans.....lets face it, people with kids say that theirs is the cutest and all dog lovers say that they have the GREATEST dog ever.  Dogs...... they love nothing more than to love and be loved, they are the most loyal "people" in our lives, they see us at our best and certainly at our worst.  They never judge us.    For many they are the best, life long companion to have ever come into our lives.  Their lives are so simple.  Wake up, get loved, eat, play, sleep, eat play, wait eagerly for their humans to arrive home from work, and get loved some more.  Take up way to much room in the bed, kiss their humans good night and of course good morning (way before we needed to wake up) get into way too much mischief....Yet these creatures bring so much joy to our lives, we wonder what we did before we got them, and what we'll do without them - one day.

Sarah and Andrew are Kiah and Sally's humans, they are their Best Friends....they also happen to have just opened our local Vet Surgery in Flinders View.....needless to say they have a passion for animals in general, but boy oh boy do they love their pooches!!  We were fortunate enough to venture out to this private property at Walloon....and I must say that I haven't met such well behaved dogs, off lead before - ever!!  Our beagles would have had no chance off lead with all the wonderful farm smells around.....

Introducing Sally (Border Collie), Kiah (Rottie X), Sarah (Practice Manager) and Andrew (Veterinarian) .......I had such a wonderful afternoon, getting to know these pets and their humans.

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 website, email 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!
