Family Portraits - Baby Blues

No need for Photoshop here folks, those baby blues are au naturale. It's unsurprising to hear that strangers often compliment these little ones on their eyes, and they sure do know how to bat their long lashes in return.

Under the watchful eye of a posse of stuffed animals this little man impressed us as one of the most patient toddlers we have ever photographed. Thanks go to this lovely family, the shoot was lots of fun!

Family Portraits - Pet Edition

Around 65% of Australian families own a pet and we love them dearly. We pamper them with treats and toys, we groom them and exercise them, we let them live inside our homes and sleep at the foot of the bed. Pets are very much a part of the family, so why wouldn't we include them in a family portrait?

Buster was a well behaved and exuberant subject. With the aid of a few squeaky toys and some tasty treats we were even able to get a few shots of him with his tongue inside his mouth...

Photo tip: It is particularly hard to photograph animals with black or dark fur indoors, and using a flash doesn't often do them any favours. Lots of natural light is a must, and you'll need to increase your shutter speed if they are on the move!

Newborn Photography - Welcome to the Silver Eyes family

Being on the other side of the camera for a newborn and sibling photography session was a learning experience - I now understand what it's like for mums who want to poke and prod and twist and turn their little ones into that 'perfect' pose.

We can certainly say as photographers that any session taking photos of babies will be guided by the baby (sorry mum and dad). If you're lucky they will sleep for some of the session and tolerate the rest. No matter what, your precious bundle is beautiful just as they are, and that's what we hope to capture for you during a newborn session.

A voucher for a newborn photography session is a lovely gift for a mother-to-be.
