Lovely lovely newness!

I got to photograph another beautiful newborn this week - introducing Josh who is 3 weeks in these shots!

New -- Family Storyboards

I'm a bit in love with these storyboards - I'm happy to create one from photos taken within shoots. Happy also to do two with fewer windows for sibling sets...examples to come!
Cost - additional $20, payable on day of shoot or by direct debit.

Victoria and the Scotts

I promised to take photos of these two lovely subjects over a year ago - we all got busy and then I got pregnant and then got busy again! We finally succeeded and spent a lovely warm Sunday morning in the park - here are two of my favourite shots!



So much fun - I'm definitely on my way to finishing up processing too!

Another beautiful boy....Max

Another beautiful newborn to photograph this month - I am so blessed. It was lovely to be able to meet this precious little one, only two weeks old. And aren't his parents looking wonderful?! I wouldn't believe they have an infant in the house! Congratulations again...I hope you like your sneak peek images.

A day on the farm - with twins!

I spent a lovely Sunday morning last week, visiting an old friend and meeting her twins! I've been trying to book in a shoot with these darling 16 month olds for almost a year now, so it was exciting to finally be free, and not pregnant, so I could keep up with them! Harry and Lizzy were stars - though shooting twin toddlers was a challenge! I'm so impressed that their mum keeps up with them every day!

Such a gorgeous family, I am sure you will agree!

What I've been up to lately....

While I am still officially on maternity leave, I've had a few wonderful friends convince me that I need to at least photograph newborns. And I just can't say no, as it's such an honour just to be asked. Plus I get lots of fresh-new-baby cuddles and who could pass that up?

First, adorable Mitchell. Probably the best poser I've ever had, though his momma, who I took maternity photos of just a week or two before, comes a close second. (I had her sitting on wet beach sand on a cold, blowy June day!)
























Welcome to the mini-cronies, gorgeous little one....

and then another Love - only a week old. I just love this pic and wanted to share. Baby feet are just so beautiful!






















I had to take my new little one with me to these two shoots and he definitely proved that I shouldn't be coming back online too quickly :) but I hope to be back on the wagon in January some time....stay tuned!

So, some good news and some bad news...

Dear lovely clients and friends,

The good news - I am thrilled to finally be able to publicly announce that I am almost 6 months pregnant, due in May with a "normal-sized" (according to my OB) boy!

The bad news - Because I am already struggling with chasing my own toddler, I've decided to restrict Linkylou bookings to newborns only. While all is healthy and progressing, it's not a sensible idea for me to do the diving and reaching and chasing that is required for toddler shoots, let alone the fact that I think it's physically impossible for me to lie on my stomach at the moment!

So thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to all of you who have helped my business thrive in 2009 - it was thanks to the referrals of clients and friends that it all took off and kept me so busy! I'll send an email/update my blog and post a Facebook message when I'm back to full speed again (probably sometime in 2011!)
