AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography) ACT Awards

Just thought I'd share with you a few images from the recent ACT AIPP Photography awards. I decided to enter the wedding category this year for the first time in 3 years and I was surprised how well I did. My little girls on the bench got a silver distinction and the little girl under the hanging dress also got a silver distinction. The cavalier on the brides lap and the flyaway veil both got silver awards.

It's funny how my best images always involve children -I'm always drawn to them at weddings - you never know what they'll do. I'll be entering these in the nationals this year and with any luck will qualify for my Masters witht the AIPP. Enjoy!

Baby Emily - Newborn Portrait Photography Canberra

Beautiful baby Emily is only 8 days old here. I couldn't believe how much hair this beautiful little bundle had. I don't know what it is about newborns but they always seem to sense when somethings going on. Miss E just didn't want to sleep for me - although you can't tell from the photos! I never get tired of photographing newborns they are just so precious, peaceful & innocent.

Baby Portraits Canberra - Twins Alicia & Maddison

Alicia

Maddison


I couldn't resist posting a few more photos of my beautiful Neices Maddison & Alicia. They are just so adorable at this age (although mum might sometimes disagree). It's amazing how quickly they are growing now and how they alreadyhave their own distinct little personalities.

Percey Family - Portraits Canberra

Two blogs posted in a week for me - that has to be a first! I'm posting a few pics of the Percey family so they can have a sneak peak. We had a wonderful time on Sunday together - considering Saturday was horrid. Little T was such a pleasure to photograph as he ran around on the farm - and check out those eyes! He's going to be a real lady killer when he grows up.

Speaking of boys I think all of us mums who raise boys deserve a medal. Don't they say mums with boys have a place in heaven! Sunday night was a complete shocker for me. Hubby was away on a boys weekend and of course my oldest son - a bmx fanatic - had to come off his bike at a skate park and knock himself out. I arrive there to see him with blood running down the side of his face (thank god he wore a helmet) and him not really knowing what day it was. I have become quite accustomed to this after a ruptured spleen, broken ribs, arm and wrist, both knees requiring reconstructions and stitches (and this is only for the one child!). He was not in good shape when we arrived at the hospital and I can tell you I was really freaking out. Anyway he's ok and has been in bed all week trying to recover but I think I'm the one who's still in shock!
On the upside of all of this it's been nice to spend some one-on-one time with him at home. In this crazy busy world of ours sometimes it takes a disaster to make us stop and smell the roses.

Andrew & Sam's wedding

c



Andrew & Sam were married at the Rose Gardens at Old Parliament House yesterday. The weather was absolutely freezing (especially for Sam & Leearne who worse strapless dresses) but the beautiful autumn colours of the trees more than made up for it. Afterwards Andrew and Sam celebrated their wedding at the lovely Lobby Restaurant. One of the shot's i've posted is of the detail in Sam's dress. It had this really beautiful pleating which gave it a real elegance. I've also posted a few shots of their engagement shoot (Andrew I got the truck in). Wishing you both a wonderful honeymoon.
