And what’s a post without a photo?!  Here’s another favourite from my recent session with baby Summer.  Enjoy!

So, in comes the photobook.  I LOVE photobooks and they’ve been a huge hit since I introduced them a couple months back!.  They solve this problem by enabling clients to display as many images as they like without taking up wall space if lack of space is an issue, without necessarily going down the traditional route of an album.  They also allow clients to take home just about every image in their gallery, avoiding the tough choice of narrowing down favourites!   AND, they make really special gifts for family over east or overseas!

So know you see why I love photobooks!!

Each photobook is individually designed with carefully selected colours and layouts that reflect the images from that session.  Your session gallery is transformed into a beautifully bound book complete with a custom designed hardcover, and each image is printed either in full colour or black and white on quality archival paper to ensure durability.

There’s a choice from either the classic Quintessential Photobook that displays your choice of up to 20 5×7” images from your gallery.  Or have each page of your photobook custom designed to suit your image selections, with varying sized images and spreads, and the inclusion of quotes and personal messages, with the Opulence Photobook.

I just LOVE putting these together! And the final product always looks brilliant!!

Now, what’s a post without a photo?!  Here’s one of my favourite pregnancy images of 2009…

I’m off on a short break next week on a trip down south, so take care and keep watching this space for BRILLIANT things set to happen in 2010!

But the stand out for me this year, now that I am looking back, is what I have learnt about myself.  I cannot believe how much I have grown this year, in every aspect of my life.

2009 has been one of the most influential years of my life so far, and I put that down to what my photography has given me over the last 12 months.  It has given me passion and thirst to learn and grow at every opportunity, to take away from every circumstance something that will empower me.  It has given me the continuous desire to give my 110% to this business that I have grown, and to keep growing it into the amazing business I want it to be.  It has taught me that I can achieve great things, and with this passion and desire, I will continue to exceed my own expectations at every stage.

So, with these thoughts, I want to say thank you, to each and everyone of my clients that have allowed me to witness and capture their loved ones this year.  Thank you for supporting me and my business this year, as it is you that has made 2009 such a special year for me.  Your support and confidence in me means so so much to me.  I wish each of you an amazing year ahead in 2010, and I hope it brings you much more than you could hope for.  I look forward to seeing you all again in the near future!
