Devine Newborn – Geelong Newborn Photographer

Almost every session I photograph reminds me of how much I am blessed to do what I do, it being a part of a couple’s biggest day of their lives, running around with a busy toddler or having lovely snuggles with a devinly fresh newborn. I LOVE MY JOB!

Some of my closest friends Patrick and Amelia recently welcomed to the world the very precious little  Alliyah, I tell you what this is one very loved little girl! I couldn’t wait to spend some time with these guys and photograph Alliyah’s gorgeous little face.

Here is a sneak peek of their newborn session that I photographed today, as soon as I got home I just had to get straight into editing, she is just way too cute to leave till monday:)

2011 a great year!! – Geelong Photographer

I cant believe its 2012 already!!

I think 2011 was one of the fastest years ive ever experienced! So many wonderful things came out of 2011.

In 2011 I was very blessed to be able to take a huge step in my business and open a studio, I always new it was something I wanted to do but thought it would be a few years away, so when I came across a gorgeous studio office up for rent in the heart of Geelong I couldnt beleive everything just fell into place and I am now sitting here in the most gorgeous room with high ceilings, amazing windows with gorgeous natural light streaming in and enough room for me to  spin around with my arms outstretched!

2011 was another amazing year of meeting gorgeous couples, families business and making lasting friendships.

I want  to say a massive thank you to all my amazing clients, friends and family for the overwhelming support throughout 2011:)

With already 2 weddings down and many many more to go 2012 has started off with a bang! I really look forward to meeting loads more amazing people and being able to capture some of the most precious memories in people’s lives.

I thought I would share with you all some of my favourite ring shots from 2011. One of my aims for 2012 is to get even more creative with these shots:)

Stephanie Bevan Highly Commended Award – THE EDGE IMAGING PHOTOGRAPHY EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2011

A couple of months back I saw that The Australian School of Wedding and Portrait Photography was having their annual Edge Imaging Awards, I had never taken part in any competitions before, SO when I saw this opportunity pop up I though I might aswell give it a go.

I had actually forgotten about it until the Lovely Sara from Sara Taylor photography sent me a message a couple of weeks ago saying congratulations on my award, I had no idea what she was talking about lol! I clicked on the link she had sent me and there in the list of winners was my name:)

I received a Highly Commended Award for a lovely candid moment I captured at Laura & Eden’s Wedding:)

 

Studio Grand Opening Mini Sessions – Geelong Portrait Studio

Ive been in my lovely new Studio now for a bit over a month and I am loving it!!, it was such a good decision, I get so much more work done and its great to be able to separate home and work life.
To celebrate opening my Studio I held a day of free mini sessions available to the first 8 families who booked in. I had such a wonderful day using my new space and met some beautiful families and also some of my favourite returning clients. It was also a great way to figure out how to use the space the best.

Here are some sneak peeks of the day:)

Another Gorgeous Truffleduck Wedding – Geelong Wedding Photography

I have had the absolute privilege to work alongside the most amazing staff at Truffleduck Fyansford for a couple of weddings in the last month. The way they care about their wedding couples just blows me away! Even though they have multiple weddings and events on each weekend they always go out of their way to make sure the couple’s wedding is like no other and is the most special day.

So to have two weddings with truffleduck in two weeks was a blast! it is such a beautiful venue and I was lucky enough to experience a wedding in their outdoor garden setting and their indoor room which has amazing floor to ceiling glass doors that open up to give the feel that you are outside for the ceremony.

Meet Christian & Sarah, they met overseas while they were both traveling. Christian and his family are from Germany, it was Christian’s family’s first time in Australia for the wedding.

They each had their siblings for their bridal party and what a fun bunch they were!

You may notice in this post and the last that there is a familiar location that is one of my favourite places to photograph so to have two willing couples in two weeks to be photographed there, lets just say I was very excited… wait make that 3 weddings lol! the next wedding to be posted may have been photographed there aswell lol;)

They had a choir!!

I always love seeing which photo couples pick for their enlarged print as part of their package, I was so excited when Sarah & Christian chose this awesomely fun photo for their print:)

Bunch of posers lol!
