Renae & Bens E-Session.

Yeaa Ha! This is a wedding I'm super excited about - not just because these guys are so lovely & easy to work with, but also because they have decided to invite their closest family & friends to HAMILTON ISLAND! I was thrilled to bits when they called with the sad news (Ha!) that the date had been changed, along with a venue change!
Today was fun, and the Currumbin Creek gave us a nice variety of backgrounds. The water was so beautiful, I wanted to dive right in. My fav shot would have to be right at the end when Ben got to pull out his guitar!
Have a wonderful time celebrating your birthday on the weekend Renae, and I will look forward to seeing you both again for the biggest celebration of all!

Daniel & Alissa's E-Session

All the way from Toowoomba - hang on, sorry, it's not really that far.
Alissa & Daniel have chosen to get married on the gorgeous Gold Coast, so why not have a beachy e-session. They made a day of it, and finished with an afternoon frollic on the beach. Haha
It was nice to meet Dan, as Alissa had bought her bridesmaid Amy when she first met with me.
I really enjoyed the session guys, great to get to know you, and a HUGE Congratulations on your the purchase of your new home! Very lucky to be able to do that! Looking forward to your special day in May. ;-)

Narina's Belly Shots

How gorgeous! Narina wanted very simple images, so the focus is really on her baby bump. I'm super happy with these "Godess" images, she looks so elegant!
I look forward to meeting your Geoff & new arrival - which will be another surprise sex btw! Owwe, good luck finishing of the bubies room guys, I look forward to sharing the rest of your images ;-)

Jodie, Arabella & little Romily.

Owww, I just wanted to sit there all day! Jodie & Paul have purchased a property in Lota thats just gorgeous. It felt so comfy & homely, I didn't want to leave.
Check out the photo wall! My images are everywhere! Which gives me such a kick, as you walk in the front door theres two framed 16x24" images of the girls - looks awesome if I can say so myself. Hehe
Thank you so much Miss Arabella for making me some yummy pikelets for morning tea. It was wonderful to check out your new place, and see how much you have both grown!
When Paul & Jodie came to me for their belly shots, it was yet another reminder of how small the world is! They had already booked me, when a friend of both of ours in Sydney had recommended they have me as their photographer. Thus the journey began, as I have photographed both pregnancies and gorgeous girls. I want to thank you Jodie for the thoughtful conversations we have had, for sharing your stories, and listening to mine. You have helped me so much :-)
Much love,

The Esposito Family

How luck are these guys! Their gorgeous friends Mitch & Deborah bought them this session as a special gift, to celebrate their family. Wow, I just think thats the sweetest thing!
What precious friends.
And how sweet is little Sophie!
I have done a couple of pregnancy sessions this week, and to my amazement - everyone's opting to wait for the surprise to see what sex their buba is. Oww, I would be busting to know, but I LOVE surprises, and it will make the birth oh so super super exciting! Not that it isn't already ;-)
Look forward to sharing ALL these images with you soon guys.
Cheers,

Charlotte's THIRD Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Charlotte, Happy Birthday to Charlotte.. Hehe
Sooo cute! Little Princess Charlotte got to have a few practice runs at it in the morning before all the party guest arrived, what joy it gave her to sing then blow out those candles! Oh to be a child!
I have had the plesure of photographing the Hoey family's growth since little Charlotte was a in Elissa's tum. Thank you so much guys, for having me back to your special events & milestones time & time again. I feel so special to get this ongoing invitation, it truly is what makes my job a dream.

The Victorsen Family

All the way from Blackwater! Great to meet Matt, Jo, Chantell & Nick, & have the pleasure of photographing their family & Jo's 35 week old bump. Hehe How cute are the two little girls, these cousins were very excited about being able to dress up & have a picture taken together. Love it. And can't believe how articulate some children are, straight up I was greeted " Hello Catherine! Your here to take our photograph!". Hope the concert was awesome guys, I'm sure you had a blast! Good luck with the big drive home ;-)
