Baby Benjamin is 3 weeks old today

When a colleague of mine phoned me and asked me to take photos of her new baby, I was thrilled.  Her oldest son is a few months older than my youngest, and we’ve had very many chats over the last few years about babies and kids and photos
I went to her house today over lunchtime...

He was wide awake for a lot of the session, and whenever he was...

Givani’s Baptism

This morning Givani Ermacora (5 months old) got baptised in the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Malvern.  Colleen had asked me a few weeks ago to be the second shooter for the event, and I’m glad I said I would do it.  It was such a lovely ceremony and the priest was superb!

Jeanette I am speechless, your shots are awesome!!!!

[...] Day 33 of 365 – Baptism Filed under: Uncategorized — colsev @ 7:07 pm I was very excited about this shoot,  I don’t have time to do many on location shoots because the studio is always jam packed on a week-end, but this client booked well in advance and I thought that I would take this job instead of referring it on as I usually would.    And I am SO happy that I did, I had a lot of fun, and it was great spending time with someone as photo snappy and happy as I am.   Jeanette came along to help and I am so pleased she did as she got amazing images.    So my pics for the day from Sunday are of the Baptism as that is all I did on Sunday.   You can see more of my images here and some of Jeanette’s images here. [...]

[...] On Sunday we took photographs for this gorgeous child’s baptism.   Jeanette agreed to help me as you might know she is an awesome on location photographer and got some amazing shots of the church ceremony, they can be seen here. [...]

Introducing Nicola

The arrival of Nicola has been hugely anticipated in the local blogging and Twitter community, as her mommy Louisa has been blogging for years and Louisa even tweeted on her way to the hospital!  I couldn’t wait to take her photos, so I took it upon myself to give Louisa a voucher for a photosession...
