So… this post has been a LONG time coming. The below shoot was in the pipelines for months and months. And once it was done, and the photos were edited, I still couldnt post about it, as it was a SECRET
But now the secret has been revealed and Jo has kindly allowed me to show some of the photos here on my blog
So the reason behind the below photos, Jo wanted to give something special to her husband as a gift, and thought some super sexylicious photos would be perfect. But it all had to be done secretly, as it was going to be a surprise!! One the photos were edited, I worked on an album layout, and we got it ordered. It arrived looking amazing!!! But after months of planning and work, Jo couldnt just plonk the album in his hands. So she planned another secret… a special weekend away. Her poor husband didnt know anything as he got dragged to the car (his suitcase secretly packed in the car).
Nico and I got baby sitting duty for that special weekend…. see, I always go the extra mile for clients haha…. of course it helps when the client is my cousin!
So all in all the photos and the album were a big success, the lovely couple got an awesome weekend away, and Nico and I got to spend some time with three crazy but fun kids :D
Right, on to the photos. Just be aware before you scroll down that these are Boudoir photos, so not fully clothed. Just a selection from the many photos
Enjoy










Love Jen

On Saturday I met three gorgeous woman!! They were having a girls day out, and decided some photos would be a good addition to the day! They may have changed their minds after meeting the craziness that is me and Nico lol, but we did a quick whirlwind shoot and everyone had a good laugh, so maybe not
We had to be quick to get some light but I think we got some beautiful shots of the gals, and the awesome friendship they share (Im jealous!!) in the time we had
Here are some of my favs:







Ps. I’m sorry for the faces I made you pull, and for Nicos dancing. I hope we didnt traumatise you toooo much
Love Jen

So this afternoon I photographed 4 families, with 18 kids (varying ages from toddlers to young adults), in 3 hours. I was exhausted hehe, but had heaps of fun, and met heaps of wonderful people. My poor shoes and pants may never recover from the mud though lol. Thanks Paterson Street Playcentre, you guys rock!!
Here’s a preview from each family! Can’t wait to share the rest with the families once I’ve had a chance to edit them! Enjoy




Love Jen

Chelle
I ran a contest on my facebook fan page a few weeks back, and the prize was a free mini session (20mins long), with 10-20 edited photos to choose from, and a free 5×7 print! To enter, you had to state why you were FABULOUS
Chelle entered with this:
“I am fabulous because I have managed to sort out my life again after a huge upheaval due to my health, friends and accomadation issues. I’ve lived to tell the story and help others with similar health issues.”
I love people that weather a storm, then come out the other side to help others. There really is no other word for her than FABULOUS.
Now the session was for 1 or 2 people, so Chelle opted to bring her friend Sarah along. We took a wander round the Gardens, and the girls posed oh so fabulously for me. I think we went over the 20 min mark lol, but we were having fun, so there was no reason to stop
I ended up editing over 30 photos also, because they both did such a wonderful job posing, made it very hard for me to pick out the best photos, thats for sure!!
Chelle, Sarah, you guys are both so beautiful, and you looked so stunning in the shots. Keep being fabulous
So enough of me talking, here are a couple of my favourite shots from our session.:
Chelle:

Family. That was the important thing on Linzi and Rogers wedding day. Family… such a large and wonderful family. All of their children and grandchildren were just so happy for them both, you could see it in their eyes, the way they laughed and smiled, the amazing speeches they gave. Nico and I both felt so honoured to be there photographing their day. We were challenged by heat and super bright sun, but we had an awesome time
Oh, and the meal was YUMMO, thanks so much for inviting us to sit down and eat guys
Here are a few photos from the day, enjoy:




Check out one Nico took:

Yesterday afternoon was a great day. I met up with Lynn and her awesome family for another photo shoot. We went to the Rose Gardens, only to find them clanging the gates shut, thanks to the Summer Festival. So we did some walking and found some other spots for photos
Now, I LOVE this family, seriously. They are all so gorgeous, inside and out. Not only that, but they make me laugh, out loud, ALOT.
So here is just a couple of sneaky peaky photos to tide you over till I can edit the rest, enjoy:

So as I said on a previous post, we took Philip and Pip out for their engagement photos the other day. Their wedding is in April, and I can’t wait!! I know half the bridal party already…. so I’m very aware of how hilariously crazy it’s going to be. Not to mention they have put aside ALOT of time for photos, YAY!
So Ive finished their engagement photos, and just wanted to share a few more on here. Enjoy:
