Livingston family photos {Sunshine Coast Family Photographer}

Finally summer is here!

And we have had such lovely sunny days, and today was no exception. I met up with the Livingston families to capture some family photos at Bullcock Beach.

Family up from Victoria was a great excuse to capture some photos at the beach.

Thanks to all for making my job so great, you all did very well.

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak.

It was very hot, so to cool off, 

Perfect Day for a Wedding

Well some of you may know that here in South east Qld we have had more then our fair share of rain and flooding, but yesterday turned out to be a perfect summer day.

Jac and Phil, had a couple of glitches in ther wedding day plans due to the Brisbane floods, but this day was PERFECT, COLOURFUL AND FUN.

The day started Jac getting ready at her new home, and getting a lift to the church in a 1962 Jaguar, followed by a lovely service at Bridgeman Downs Baptist.

After the service we headed off to a few locations

First one was Pine Rivers Park: and how much fun did we have when we got there and a unanimous decision

to have some fun on the Dodgem Cars!

Next location was Shorncliffe Pier, where the bridal party frocklicked in the water, invited into a beach cricket game with some unknown family. And to top our colourful day a new peice of art work has been installed at the Pier, I dont know if this is temporary or permanent but its like a little hill painted all bright colours just perfect to top off our day.

Jac and Phil enjoy you sneak peak, have a nice holiday

Preserving precious memories

I am so passionatte about preserving family memories that are damaged.

I have just got a photo of my husbands great grandfather this photo was taken when he was about 18 years old  (circa 1910) and has been damaged, this image was intrusted to me by his uncle to restore.

I restored the image and originally it was a sepia colour so I returned it that tone.

Here is the damaged and then restored photo

As we have had so much rain  and flooding in Brisbane if you have some family photos that have been damaged due to water and mould/mildew, call or email me for your special deal
(flood effected families only) if you were not effected by the floods and still have a photo that you would like restored contact me, as soon as possible as the longer you leave it the more damage is done to the image the harder the process to restore the image

Grainger Family Photos

Just before I went on holidays I met with this family, who have been friends of ours for a  very long time, P wanted some family photos of her children and grandchildren that live in other states. So they were all up over the Christmas period and I had them pleasure of taking some photos for them. I have included a collage that I made for them as well as a couple other photos from the newest addition to this family.

Its Jan 2011 already

I was never going to one of  "those people" who didnt blog every session, but alas I have turned into one of "those people".

I dont know what happened first came the rush of the Christmas period and then I went on holidays, back to work, school holidays.....

And today is the first day in a while that I have had the chance to blog, so here is what I have done in the last few weeks, and I promise from know on I wont be one of "those people".

I will start with Baby T
A beautiful baby he was 8weeks old when I went to Dayboro to meet him and his family, he was such a good boy, he was awake for a bit the went off to sleep for some amazing sleeping baby shots. I LOVE BABIES, it must be the best part of my job.

I was looking through some of my photos that I have taken over the last year or so and I love that I have a few repeat clients that allow me take photos of them to update their family photos.

Here are just a few and my, how some of them have grown,  Remember that life goes by in a blink, so call me to update your family photos

SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR 2011

This is a project that I would like to work on in time for Mothers Day 2011. It is called my

By spoiling a few mums , single mums, grandmothers (who have full time custody of their grandchildren) who are doing it hard and give them a little makeover and a photoshoot, with their children. In such hard financial days I relise that proffesional studio photography is an expense some families just cant afford.

So why am I writing this note: I am looking for a proffesional stylist who would like to give back to the community some time and skills to make this happen. No money will change hands and the family will recieve an individual picture of Mum and a family picture printed and framed and delivered to their door, in time for Mothers Day.
Would love to do the same for Fathers Day as well.
Can you help?, do you know anyone who may be willing to help make some lasting family memories for some special families?

Let me know if you can or what you think?
