Baby Jasmine | Newborn Wollongong

This little girl is a much wanted and very treasured addition to the beautiful little family of my good friend Ally. She is such a quiet little thing and even though she didn’t want to settle for me on take one of operation jasmine photos, she was totally brilliant for take 2! I loved her little facial expressions..her gorgeous little lips and her long lean arms. Enjoy your little sneak peek Ally..more to come very soon. xxxxxxxx jkj8j10 i love this next one: looks like the cheeky big sister is enjoying  her little sis being upset already!

Cheboom, DH&N and me on a boat | Wollongong bridal vendors

July 1, 2009 – 8:01 am

On sunday morning I had the pleasure of being invited to spend some time on a gorgeous boat in KIama harbour capturing an amazing collection of dresses from Cheboom bridal in Port Kembla, with the hair and makeup by DH&N and flowers by Abode flowers. The weather was glorious, the mood light and fun and the models were just gorgeous.  We took the boat out for  a bit but had to return to the calmness of the harbour as it was a bit rough and we were all going a bit green around the gills. I had so much fun and I was so impressed by the quality of the dresses and the outstanding hair and make up that stayed beautiful through a million dress changes and the exposure to the elements on the boat. I loved all the fun colours of the bridesmaids dresses and the stunning detail of the accessories and bridal gowns. Big thanks to Ashleigh, Laurelle and Belinda from DH&N (and Leanne for being an amazing organiser & hair accessory putter-in-erer) Tanya and Yoly for the gorgeous dresses, Fiona for the divine flowers and our models, JT, Jess and Meghan for being up for whatever I asked and making the day so enjoyable! Go visit the Cheboom girls if you are in need of a dress and DH&N if you want to look beautiful all day long!Heres a little selection of some of my favouritesc1c2c4c5c6c7c9c10c8c12c11c13c18c20c21c19c14c15c16c17

family of 4 | wollongong family photography

June 27, 2009 – 8:44 am

This gorgeous little family are in Wollongong visiting family for the weekend and wanted me to capture their little family together . I loved hanging out with them this morning, watching Master D play and blow bubbles. He was a busy little guy (but what 2 year old isn’t)..he didn’t like to sit still for long and when he laughed it was completely magical!  Then there was little miss L who is 6 weeks old. She was totally fascinated by my camera and in absolutely no mood to sleep. I wanted to get a little preview up quickly for them so they can see some of their images before they headed home….

Thank you for inviting me to spend time with your lovely family guys..enjoy your little sneak peek and safe travels home tomorrow. xxx jkb1b9b8b7b6b5b4b2b3

weekend workshop- intermediate photography

June 22, 2009 – 8:45 am

I had an absolute blast sharing photography stuff and life stories with some lovely ladies this past weekend. I love teaching photography classes and seeing people finally realise the potential of their cameras if they come away from the dredded green square (auto is not your friend!) We were hampered a bit by the rain but we still managed some time out on location to practice the concepts they learnt over the weekend. wwg1untitled-1wwg2

I had a blast with these lovely ladies and I thank them all for taking time out of their busy lives to spend an entire weekend listening to me talk! I also wanted to thank my gogeous friend Sam for a sensational job on the catering and last but not least, my beautiful friend brigette for being our guinea pig..she makes a stunning guinea pig don’t ya think! look at those eyes..wowseres! thanks brig! xxxbrig
