AIPP Wedding and Portrait Photography Seminar

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the AIPP seminar that was held in Newcastle. It was presented by Steve Saporito. I had a great time there and learnt plenty from the seminar. It was also great to get to meet more like minded people who are also local wedding and portrait photographers. It really got me inspired to do some more work to the studio. So tommorrow I am intending to spend a bit of time mounting some more prints and prettying up the studio. I'm inspired! Thanks Steve!

This afternoon I have a client coming around to go over the final details for her upcoming wedding. Looking forward to that one! Then back to editting the photos from The Towns family photoshoot.

Nice relaxing weekend ahead. Well deserved I think :-)

A Long Time...

Wow! So it really has been a long time since I wrote a blog. So much has been happening I don't even know where to begin. So I suppose I will just put up a few sneaky ones from the last few shoots...

So first off, I had a shoot with the beautiful newborn baby, Harper. She wasn't exactly shy in front of the camera either and really came to life when we put her in the basket for some of the photos. I had a lot to work with in Stu and Jess's lovely home, but chose to keep it simple, working in front of a large window with spectacular natural light streaming through. This enabled me to do the entire shoot using no flash or other lightng, while getting beautiful soft tones. I have never been much of a photographer of newborn babies, so I thank Stu and Jess for giving me the opportunity to take some photos of their special little girl!.

Secondly was my little sisters debutante ball. Before heading to the ball, We took Kiera and her Partner Brad and both of the families out to Walka Water Works to take some family photos as well as a few of just Brad and Kiera. Everyone was very happy with all of the photos.

The weekend just gone was quite the busy one. On Saturday I did a maternity shoot with Prue and her partner Daniel. We were lucky enough that the weather held off for us! The original plan was to do the shoot at Tocal homestead, but upon arriving and finding out that it was closing early for the day, we headed up to Paterson. Here we wandered around a number of different areas and utilised the natural beauty Paterson has to offer as well as all the historical buildings and structures in the area.

On the Sunday we did a family shoot for the Town's family in their specacular apartment with a breathtaking veiw of the harbour. It was a very fun shoot, and required very little posing as the Town's family interacted with each other naturally and were full of laughs! I'm very much looking forward to going through the photos from this shoot.

And finally, I blogged about this some time ago, but thought I would put up one of my favourite candid shots from little Kiarah's Christening.

Enjoy!
