On this page I will present some of my favourite photos from my work. They may not be the best photographic image, but they are special as they tell a story for me.

As a starting point I attach a photo of my son Nicholas. This photo for me is my signature image and will stay close to my heart forever. This photo was taken on 30th July 2005. Nicholas was 10 months old. Having been born 10 weeks premature, his "correct" age was 7.5 months.

There are no words to describe the love I have for my son and I feel like the luckiest mum on earth to have a healthy strong boy who just wanted to come into this world early to meet his mum and dad!
 

My son Nicholas

With dad at hand to fix his hair, this six month old boy was bound to look his best.

Near the end of our photo-shoot this 13 month old boy crawled off in a mad hurry to chase his cat. His mum let the cat out the front door so he pressed his face hard against the glass and watched him run away. Luckily this didn't happen at the start of the shoot as it left nice red marks on his face. Very cute!

This 4 month old boy decided he wanted to have a nap. He fell asleep on his mum's shoulder and regardless of the fact that we kept taking photos he kept sleeping. We later passed him to his grandma for a shot and he kept sleeping. Who was I to interfere with his routine!

While trying to photograph this gorgeous 11 year old girl, her 12mth old brother decided he wanted to play peek-a-boo with me. I proceeded to bob up and down to play with him while I kept photographing his sister. Great exercise for the legs!

It didn't matter what I tried; this young boy was more interested in his dad's nose than looking into my camera!

What an absolute pleasure it was to be part of this momentous moment. This 13mth old boy took his first step while I was shooting!  I love my job!

I just had to take this shot. It was as if this gorgeous little girl (12mths old) was saying “Now listen here doggies; I have a serious photo shoot to do, so please behave yourselves!”

This 8 month old little boy looked so much like his dad - even from the back!

No matter what we have in mind, children are usually in a world of their own!

This 6 week old little boy waits patiently while mum catches a tender moment with dad.

This 7mth old little girl was incredible: she looked straight into the camera no matter what!

I mainly photograph children, but this friend of a friend really wanted some shots and at 35 weeks I thought I'd help her out. I think this shot is beautiful.

This 5yr old little girl loved her new shoes - they had butterflies on them. Of all the photos I took, I think this may have been her favourite!

Sometimes to get the whole family in, you need to take a wider view. This gorgeous little boy (2.5yrs old) moved closer with every shot.

Half way through our shoot, this young lady (11mths old) decided she wanted to have a chat with her dog. Her mum told me she sits there every day.

I love this shot. These precious kids (girl 4, boy 18mths) enjoyed having me chase them around their front garden. Lucky for me I wear comfy shoes!

For me, the look in this 4 week old boy's eyes is saying "I feel safe and warm on my mummy's shoulder."

After some time photographing, this little girl (4yrs old) got a little tired and needed a hug from her 6 year old big brother.

The mum of this little boy taught me that allowing your child to play and discover in their own way is the key to learning. Photographing this 10mth old boy while he discovered this water feature was incredible. Nothing else existed for him but this water!

I love this shot as it shows the many moods of babies. This little boy (8.5 months old) went from smiling to what you see here within seconds, with no apparent trigger. A second later he was smiling again!

Without a doubt this young lady (4 years old) was my easiest client to date. She just loved the camera. This shot was taken on a dining room table holding the hand of her brother (9 months old), who is being secured by mum.

This 11 month old young boy loved his bath! I got to see his real personality and a sense of calmness the second he sat in the water. I'm guessing mum and dad are having a tough time trying to get him out of the bath these days!

This gorgeous little girl was one of my first clients and was very shy. This photo for me signifies the moment she began to trust me.
