Happy Friday everyone

A peek from the session with a gorgeous family on Monday…  their property was just amazing and so many great spots to take photos, although we did get rather muddy after all the recent rain

Meet Henry and his older brothers Zach and Charlie…  I think there are going to be some broken hearts around town when they get a bit older!!!

Cant wait to show you the rest Michelle & Peter!!!

Well after lots of packing and lifting and unpacking and more lifting, many phone calls to telecommunications companies and a few late nights we are finally almost settled in the new place.  Computer and internet is back in action so apologies for all the slow replies to emails of late and the lack of blog posts….

So to start it off here is a cute pic of little Henry trying to run for freedom from a family session earlier in the week….  More photos to come soon!!

Just before christmas I had a photo session with a wonderful family… Four boys under 5 and their parents… It was loud, it was crazy, but it was so much fun!!  These four boys all had such different personalities from each other and I had my freak out moments wondering if their mum and dad would like the photos, if I would manage one of the four of them together in the one photo, but it all worked out well in the end – we all had a great time, especially once I whipped out the candy canes!!

The family decided on a range of photos and asked me to design them a canvas gallery for the wall in their living room.  WOW – it looked amazing – even on my messy living room floor when the delivery arrived.  They all got packed up while the family did some renovations but last week the walls were finally ready and I went and hung them all up…  Check it out :

The ceilings in this room are quite high so its hard to see the perspective of the images in photos…  We hung them a little higher than normal so as to try and keep them out of reach of the little fingers attached to the 15mth olds who like to stand on the couch & also to allow for plenty of room to expand the gallery with photos later down the track…

Here is the link to the original blog post in November with some of the images if anyone wants to check them out… http://nfedesign.com.au/blog/?p=324

In the clients words:

I would love to recommend Renee as a professional photographer for a session with your children.  It was certainly an amazing experience for our family.  She saw us on a cold rainy Sunday morning, and managed to capture each personality of my four boys perfectly in a short session.  It was noisy and crazy, but that’s how life is for us.

There were so many amazing shots that we couldn’t choose.  We’d never been to professional photographer before (can’t stand the pixie shots) and so realised that these images created by Renee were going to be a treasured moment in time for our family history.  Never again would our children be this age and it was a very special time.

We decided to gather together images for a montage on the wall of our living room.  Each image was developed on a canvas at a size determined by Renee and the whole thing balances perfectly.  We can add to the wall as they grow, so it will evolve as our family does.  Each image is guaranteed not to fade for over 100 years, and are independent art works in themselves.  We can see that when are children become adults they might take their images with them to their own homes and expand on the canvas idea with their own children.

We love the wall and others comment too.  We love our children and love having their beautiful faces captured forever.

Thanks Renee!!!

Had a fun day today catching up with some friends….  the weather is gorgeous right now – if only we made more time to get out there and enjoy it!!!
