Baby Boy

If you follow me on Face book (Here!) you will know that I've been so excited to finally share these photos of you of baby Lukaz- firstborn to Elly and Billy! I first met Lukaz when he was 5 days old, but it was late afternoon, and he wasn'[t really interested in being photographed. So a few weeks on, we tried again, and he was a perfect little angel for his mummy- allowing us to get some pretty great shots- including a few Christmas inspired ones! I soon found out though, that there was no such thing as a 'quick' newborn edit, and have a new found appreciation for how much time and work goes into editing newborns! But I hope that you'll agree- its well worth the effort!

 Toes! Every little Spot you can see is a reflection of a perfect little toe in a crystal!

 I Love the little pout here! :)

And lastly- a photo of Lukaz @ 5 days old- what a difference a couple of weeks can make!

If you've just had a baby or know of someone who has (or maybe you or someone you know is expecting- don't forget maternity shoots!) what better gift than some quality photos at very reasonable prices! $150 gets a newborn photo shoot (usually 1-2hrs, but as long as it takes to get the 'shots') and a DVD of approximately 10 edited, high-res images to use however you like, time and time again!

This Beautiful Place We Live

I was talking to a friend this morning who is living in Valparaiso, Chile for a while (one of the most beautiful, photo worthy places on the planet!!)  with her husband and young family, and she said that while they were all having a great time, she was missing our beautiful country. It got me thinking- we really do live in a beautiful place, and I'm sure many of us take it for granted! So I flicked (well clicked really) through some of my old photos, and put together a collection of some of SE Qld's beautiful places- Hope you enjoy! :)

My Boy

My poor boy has been sick for almost a week! The temperature and the coughing- but lots of sleeping and cuddles too! I feel kinda bad- we thought he was putting it on because he got sick the day before sports day at school. Don't get me wrong- he's great at all sports, and enjoys them once he gets going- it's just getting him going that's the problem! He gets so nervous about these sort of things. So I thought he might have been chucking a sickie to get out of sports day. And then he fell asleep all day. And then the temperature set in. And he's had it ever since! He's recently shared it with his sister as well- which isn't all bad- it's the quietest she's ever been!! ;) lol. No, my poor babies! So between the 2 kids and work, taking any interesting new photos has been out of the question. So I went through some of my older unedited photos, and played around with them for something to do tonight after the kids crashed out. Without realising it, most of them have been with Master J in them. So todays blog is dedicated to my perfect little man!!

Botanical Gardens

In my last post of dew drops, I mentioned I was actually taking photographs of flowers before I got sidetracked. So I thought I would post some of them. But then I realised I only had 2 photos that I liked- but that maybe I could slip some photos in from our trip to the Cooroy Botanical Gardens back in December. I had only just got my camera, but I think there's a few alright through them! We spent hours traipsing through the park. Master J had my old point and shoot camera and was just as into it as me! Might have to plan a trip up there again soon...

Birds of Noosa- the feathered kind

Living in the Tewantin/Noosa area, many consider us lucky to be amid a huge array of wild birds. I mean, you even see real estates advertising places as 'a bird watchers dream' and a 'bird haven' as a selling/renting point. I wonder how long these avid bird watchers enjoy being woken by screeching cockatoos and lorrikeets at any time from 1 in the morning onwards. Or trying to get young ones (or even themselves!!) down for an afternoon nap only to hear the crows cawing all afternoon. But I guess if you can put up with that (I love my sleep a LOT though...) then we really are quite lucky to have so many species of birds right at our doorstep! I've already posted quite a few photos of  Percy the Pelican, and there are a few other bird photos scattered throughout my blog. But today's Daily Dose are a few of the leftovers that haven't made it through yet!
Theres also a whole album dedicated to birds on my Flickr Page in HD!
