Amanda's Perfect Little Tribe
I met Amanda today who came to the studio for a session with her 3 lovely kidlets - Nick, Ava and Matthew.... Ava walked in with the fingers in the mouth peering at me from behind Mum, and all I kept thinking was OH NO this is gonna be a tricky one.......... Boy was I wrong - even Mum was surprised at how NOT shy she was!!!!!

Kellies Lovely 35 Week Bump
I met Kellie today whom is 35 weeks pregnant with her first bub.... And even better its a surprise as she doesnt know what she is having, I always admire people like that who have the willpower to not find out, I found out with all 4 as i just couldnt help myself!!!!!!
Poor Kellie was telling me how nervous she was about coming and having her session, she was very self concious - I had no idea why, baby bellies are divine, there beautiful and natural and you have a baby growing inside, what could be more perfect! I told her she would of kicked herself had she not come.....
The photos are a surprise for her hubby who doesnt know she is having them done.... Kellie i hope you like the small selection on here, and I cannot wait to hear the news of your new arrival very soon, and look forward to our newborn session in a few more weeks - Jacqui xo

Tiffanys Gorgeous Baptism
My first day back on the job today was to be a Baptism from a lady whom had contacted me via email. We had never spoken directly just through emails. I arrived at the church a half hour early and took a walk around the stunning grounds. The church was St Marys in St Kilda and the building had been maintained to pristine quality, bluestone walls, carpet like grass, stunnings gardens. The doors blew me away the most, they were perfect for photos......
So finally the time came to meet the mystery women whom had contacted me via email..... Faye and her husband Chris walked up the path and greeted me with a handshake and then a kiss (always a good way to suck up to the photographer, lol) Followed by the most DIVINE bub I have seen since Alarah and Indie... Tiffany had the biggest glowing eyes I had seen, and one of those beautiful gummy smiles!
So we took some shots of her getting into her baptism dress, which I must add she hated so the shots were full of tears :-(
Then outside to do some godparent and family photos in the beautiful gardens where Tiffany was much happier - Mum did mention that she hadnt slept, so poor bubba was in for a long tiring day!!!!!!!!
The Ceremony was done and dusted within 20 minutes, and then we moved on to the Recpetion at Milanos on Beach Rd - Another Stunning Venue!!!!!!
There was alot of love in the room, the kids had a great time with the baloons, and doing different fake poses for me..... Follwed by a very very short speech from Dad who couldnt contain his emotion when speaking of the love of his daughter, so Mum took over, thanked everyone and cut the Cake!
It was such a lovely way to start 2011 - a lovely family and extended family, beautiful locations, and just a really feelgood day.
Enjoy the Pics - Jacqui xx

2010 Memorable Images
So 2010 has come and gone, the year has certainly been a crazy one for me! In Feb I added baby number 4 to our family, and come June my Facebook Page had gone nuts with bookings. At times I thought I was losing my mind, I'm sure my house was falling down around me, it had never seen so much dust and dirt, and as for the laundry, well that's a whole other story!!!! I continued my studying and learning via online tutoring and mentoring sessions, and finally made the last of my payments on my studio lighting!!!!!
I met many many wonderful clients and their families, big and small. My smallest was little Kylen who was only 24hrs old when I did his portraits, and I also had the pleasure of doing a 4 generation session - Great Gran, Grammy, Mum and Daughter....
As for personal achievements I was honoured to be asked to become a photographer for "Heartfelt" an Australian Organisation which is dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to those who are experiencing stillborn, premature or NICU births. A very hard but extremely rewarding job.
I'm hoping 2011 is going to be even bigger and better than 2010, there are alot of things in plan, starting with my workshops that will take off early this year, and some online mentoring also.
But below you will find some of my memorable images from 2010. These are not neccesarily favoured over any others, as I had favourite images from every session I did. But just a small glimpse into just how beautiful my job truely is.... enjoy - Jacqui xxoo
