Princess's first Birthday

Twelve months ago I was excited to post about the birth of our forth child, our beautiful little princess Charlotte Belle. Today we celebrated her first year with our family and close friends. The afternoon was perfect as the clouds and one short drizzly shower kept the heat down at a bearable level. Which was in complete contrast to the morning that we awoke to... It was raining cats and dogs! Really, we had a river where our backyard was meant to be. The problem with this was not the pending party. Nope, the problem was this morning was the morning my mum and I were supposed to skydive! Well maybe next week mum!

Lily shared my disappointment.

Our little baby Belle truly is one of a kind, cuddly, bubbly, happy and down right lovable. She has made our family complete.

The cake! (that we made! Proud much?)

The birthday girl.

Baby James

This morning we had the pleasure of meeting and shooting Baby James. Only six months old and to everyone's surprise, he decides today is the day to start sitting. He was quiet a sport and for most part enjoyed the attention.

Here are a few faves.

Baby Poppi

Adam and I have been best mates ever since we were born, and we have shared many adventures in our lives. Now as fathers, we share another, as we watch our families grow.
2 weeks ago, Adam and Jodi welcomed their second child into the world, a beautiful little girl, Poppi Rae. And yesterday we caught up and grabbed a few photos of Poppi and her proud big brother Cash.

Here are a few of the shots.

Congrats again on the latest addition to your beautiful family, we'll see you guys soon.

Baby Jada

We shot a wonderful Baby shoot of Ash and Eb's little Princess, Jada, last week when she was just 10 days old. Talk about a perfect model. She basically slept through the whole shoot, as you can see.
Congratulation guys on her safe arrival, she is so beautiful.

Perfect little Angel!

2009 in review

Well as 2009 come to a close I found time over the last few days to sit down and look back at the year that was.
For us 2009 was the year that bought us our beautiful Baby girl Charlotte. It was a busy year with plenty of weddings to shoot as well as Baby/Children's/family shoots and even working with the Big man in Red as we shot Santa photos for Harvey Norman. On top of my weddings I have spent time working with and shooting for another local photographer, which has been a fantastic opportunity to learn and hone new skills.
I know that this time next year, when I look back at 2010, I plan to find major change and growth, in my life and in sharkey photography.

So to celebrate 2009 and welcome in 2010, I have put together a slide show of some of my favorite shots, moments, people and places from the year.
Sometimes these shows take a few minutes to load. So start the show, hit pause, and go grab a cuppa. Then sit down and enjoy the show.

Di and Pete's Family Shoot

This afternoon we had fun shooting family photos of Di and Pete, their kids and their two grand kids. You may recognise the grand kids as we have previously done their baby portraits and will be shooting little Pippa's six month portraits in the coming weeks. We had fun catching up with such a beautiful family.

Here are a few shots.

Baby Lilly

On Tuesday Sheridan and James bought their beautiful baby Lilly around for some photos. At twelve weeks her little personality is already shining through and although she tried to go a little bit diva on us we got managed to get some really sweet shots.

Here are a couple of my early favourites.

Thanks guys, we really enjoyed catching up.

Baby Wyatt

Our second baby shoot on Sunday saw Amber and Chris bring their cute baby boy Wyatt around for some fun. Some of our regular blog readers may remember we shot Amber and Chris's wedding back in August 2008. I love catching up with our existing clients and quiet often watching their families grow.
Well here are a few shots from the afternoon.

Like what you see? Tell us! You love hearing from you!

Baby Blake & Pheobe

Kellie and Ryan came over today for a photo shoot of their two beautiful children. Blake is 10 weeks old and Phoebe is 2. We meet Kellie & Ryan at Bec & Scott's wedding back in August, where Phoebe was one of the flower girls.
Here are a few photos from today.

Kellie and Ryan, Thanks, we had a great time photographing your two beautifully natured children.

Baby Mikayla

Last Sunday Kate and Mick came to our home for a photo shoot of their gorgeous daughter Mikayla. Mikayla is such a little cutie and she was a pleasure to shoot.

Here are a couple of my favourite shots of Mikayla.

Such a little angel!

I can't help but wonder what she is thinking here..

What a poser
