Tummy to Toddler Photography bio picture
  • Welcome!

    Hello & welcome to my photography blog :)

    My name is Anneke & I am in love.... in love with my wonderful husband whom I married in September 2009.... in love with my children aged 20, 18, 14, 11, 4 & 14 Months.... and in love with photography. I have a passion that I must indulge in to feel complete.... how do I do that.... well not only with the many wonderful clients I am lucky enough to meet and capture... but also with my Photo A Day challenge.

    Basically I {try} to take a photo every single day... this may be some great well thought out shot... but more often than not it is a simple snap to document my day or life.... not necessarily an earth shattering, award winning shot.... but something that will trigger memories or emotions to that particular point in my life.....

    I have many people who like to follow my photo a day journey and I welcome comments and messages, feel free to let me know you stopped by :) I hope you enjoy!

Beautiful Miss Hannah {Brisbane Newborn Photographer}

Wow… I can’t believe its been so  long since I last blogged… very bad blogger…oopsies! In my defence I have been absolutely flat out… so far behind in editing… so far behind in life… it really is just whizzing by… and made extra hard to keep up when its now school holidays as well! So many changes in our lives later… also thinking about making a big move to the Sunshine Coast… still undecided about that one though! Big decision!!

As for photography… I am back into my photo-a-day project… obviously it is already half way through January so I will have to do a bit of catchup to get the uploaded:)I have also been quite busy with a variety of sessions… everything from Maternity to families…. been very busy…. I will endeavour to upload a few of my sessions over the next few weeks to play a bit of catchup – when time permits of course:)

In the meantime…. I did have the immense pleasure of welcoming little Hannah to our world…. Hannah is the 5th child for one of my dearest friends in this world…. she entered the world 6 weeks early & was the cutest little button you ever did see… her mummy was used to having bigger bubs so this tiny little princess was quite the surprise… she was in the Special Care nursery for a couple of weeks so I dashed up there to take some shots of her & then when she was 2 weeks old she was released from hospital and I made the trip back to take some newborn shots of her:)She is such a pretty baby… very sweet and so snuggly… just wanted to sneak her into my camera bag and take her home with me… but her mum knows where I live… lol

So without further chatter on my part… I introduce to to Hannah… **sigh**

Newborn Photography Workshop {Brisbane Newborn Photography}

A couple of weekends ago I worse so excited… I was absolutely thrilled to be doing a newborn posing workshop with the very same lady who took my birth photos that I love so dearly:)Miss Lana Bell from Little Posers Photography – expecting her own little bundle of joy herself:)I had a great time… confirmed that I am doing all the right things and learnt a few more tricks along the way:)Realised I want to get a couple more lenses to add to my gear {of course} made me also dream of upgrading my camera to full frame {who am I kidding I have been dreaming about that for a couple of years now}!

I met some lovely ladies as well… a couple I already knew from either online or through my time with Heartfelt – so that was lovely too:)

And here are some of my shots from the day… not the sleepiest babies so Lana had to work hard for her money… but we got some great shots in the end:)

Twins – Master E & Miss K – 6 weeks old, but born at 32 weeks {so they were still only 38 weeks gestation}

And finally is a shot of Lana… taking a photo of all of the students pretending to be paparazzi around the baby:P

Super Gorgeous Baby Doll {Brisbane Childrens Portrait Photographer}

With so much happening in my life… personal and business… I am very guilty of updating my Tummy to Toddler blog!! OOPS! I have suspended my photo-a-day project… well I am still taking a photo a day but I have taken it in a different direction which is more of a grateful daily project… I am taking a photo a day of something I am grateful for & to be honest they are not something worth sharing with the world… so I will not be updating them on this blog…. when life calms down a little I may decide to start up properly again… but for the moment I just don’t have the time or energy to put into it! BUT… what this means is I will instead be updating with sessions:)So… without further ado… let me introduce you to a beautiful little miss… Sophie:)

I had the pleasure of photographing Sophie a few months ago… and I have to say she has to be one of the most beautiful baby girls I have ever seen…. just so totally perfect and an absolute delight… Sophie is of course photographed with her gorgeous family…. a picture of happiness and love… I loved every moment with these guys:)

Master Cooper {Springfield Lakes Childrens Photographer}

Its been a long time since I have blogged client sessions but I thought I would try to update a little… I run out of time and barely keep up with my Photo of the Day posts {and yes I am behind in that too ;P} but just for something a little different… Master Cooper!

I had the pleasure of photographing this little man when he was in his mummy’s belly & then again just after he was born… and now he is 6 months old already! My how the time flies by… his mummy & daddy absolutely adore his cheeky little self & it comes shining through:)I love watching ‘my’ babies grow and I am so lucky to have such gorgeous clients:)

Happy Birthday to a Princess {Brisbane Event Photography}

My beautiful little girl turned ONE year old on the weekend….. I cannot believe how fast the year has gone!! What a delight she is… the most beautiful little soul you could hope for… sleeps well… is such a good girl…. so loving and full of joy!! She is truly delightful and we are so blessed:)

To celebrate her first year with us we decided to go all out and have a pink polkadot party…. there was lots of kids & even more noise… a jumping castle which was a real hit…. loads of balloons as you cannot have a party without balloons… and a great fun time was had by all:)

 

I had to share some of my favourite images from the day… I took quite a few but I was also too busy to take as many as I would have liked… here is the princess herself & some others from her special day!!!
