Fun Day

I thought I would borrow my little niece for an hour or so to take some photos as a surprise for her mum. Little Miss Ella had other ideas. "Not today" she said. "But it's a surprise for mummy" I said. "NOT Today" she said again. And so it went on. So much for the studio style, white backdrop images I had been imagining. Let's just throw on a tutu, a cowboy hat and hang out in the bedroom instead. It's amazing how much you can capture without little people realising. Anyway, it was worth perservering and her mum was surprised. When I took her back home she told me it had been a "Fun day Aunty Lisa". Yep - LOTS of fun!!

 This fabulous photo was actually taken by my talented assistant and husband while I lay on the rug just out of site. You can see from the image below, playing in the leaves wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be.

Ella came to play again yesterday and she seems to have forgiven me for subjecting her to such nasty torture on her last visit. I kept the camera well hidden yesterday and we baked and played Littlest Pet Shops instead. Thanks Ella for another FUN DAY!!

Boys will be boys

I had the pleasure of photographing these brothers a wee while ago. I am really not that used to boys and indeed spend my life surrounded by all things pink, frilly and sparkly, so I was a bit nervous about how I would entertain a couple of boys for the afternoon. I needn't have worried - they were kept busy exploring the woolshed, visiting with our shearer, the quad bike, the river and a BIG pile of gravel. It turns out a farm is the perfect place for a couple of boys to hang out on a sunny afternoon - who would have thought!!

One day last summer.....

 One day last summer this gorgeous family called in for a photo session. Thought I'd save it and share it with you when the weather turned colder and we needed a bit of sunshine. It's always such a privilege to photograph a family for a second, or in this case a third time......it's so lovely to see that tiny baby growing into an adorable toddler.

Rylan

Rylan and his mum and dad came to play in the leaves at our house the other day. It was such a lot of fun and full of those golden autumn tones - my favourite kind of day.

I am looking forward to photographing Rylan again in January when I get to spend the day as the wedding photographer for his mum and dad. Can't wait!!

Pink sky in the morning.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of getting out of my nice warm bed on cold mornings - or any other morning, to be fair, this particular day it was SO worth it.

It's a PARTY ..... a Tea Party

Two little girls came over for a tea party the other day. We had so many giggles together and a fun time playing ladies. When we'd had enough of being ladies we headed outside to find some puddles to jump in. Come and meet two little CUTIES!!!

Happy Mother's Day

Being a MUM is the BEST! Nothing else can top it and I especially LOVE suggling on the couch after spending Mother's Day with my two FAVOURITE girls. Thanks Cierra and Jaime for making me feel so SPECIAL.

Mum, you are special. I love you Mummy.
Mummy, you are very kind to me. Mum, you smell like a rose.
You're like a sparkling diamond.
Thank you for loving me so much.
Love from Jaime

Dear Mum, I love you.
You are the best in the whole world.
Mum, you're cool and you mean so much to us. 
You smell like roses.We all love you Mummy - you ROCK!
Lots and lots and heaps of love from Cierra xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox


How can you not feel special and loved and just a wee bit sparkly (kind of like a diamond) and of course a wee bit rosey too.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mums out there (I know it's a bit late, but hey, better late than never!!).

Baby love......

It's been a while since I've photographed a brand new little person. Quinn was only a week old when she popped by with her Mama and Papa and BIG brother to visit me - I'd almost forgotten what it was like to suggle someone so tiny. SO......thanks for letting me have a wee baby fix and anyone else out there wanting to share their new little one you know where to find me.

 It is SO tiring being a super model.

 Check out those eyes!!
