You’ll need a square frame for this one lol:)

I was lucky enough to photograph this lovely princess again today – here are acouple of shots:)

Today I had the awesome privilege of meeting the “C” family for a photo shoot. It was great to meet you guys and your perfect little princess. Here are just a few shots from today to tide you over :)


It’s been a while since I have posted any photos of Miss C mostly because she just won’t look. But I have been using the flash in the dark so she doesn’t realise what’s happening until it’s over!

This isn’t the greatest shot technically, but it is the smile no one ever sees unless she knows you extremely well. It’s the first time I’ve captured it and it was in the pitch black darkness lol:)

This one is natural light and I ‘antiqued’ it completely by accident. I like it though:)

Thanks to my brother Andrew who finally gave in and let me photograph him. **Smooches**

As far as processing goes, the idea was to make these masculine, young and edgy. I may reprocess the last to match the others. Overall I like them and despite all the serious faces, the super close-up is the one that reminds me most of his personality :-)


This shot was inspired by a similar one on a forum I read. The original was of three siblings but it would have been pushing it to think I could get all three of mine to look at me all at the same time :)

Again, messing about with some more ‘novelty’ processing. This doesn’t work with everything but sometimes it makes for some pretty interesting images.

These first two have a concrete texture superimposed:

This photo was actually an ‘out take’ but it seemed to be perfect for this set and for her age. I did two treatments on this image.

Swirly version:


Clean version:

So I’m liking this new style of processing for ‘tweens’ who have some idea of not wanting to be babies anymore and being grown up and cool. For little ones I would push this style over into vintage territory although I don’t know that it’d suit newborns or very small babies. So here are some of my oldest daughter and youngest niece (she is the older by 18 months). Neither are overly frilly types although one is more tomboyish than the other but the processing suits both personalities equally I feel.
