Spring Babies

Along with the glorious sunshine we have a bevy of beautiful babies sporting flowers to help us welcome Spring at the Wild Honey Beehive. They all look delighted to be discovering their first experience of the new season. I don't mind winter but I'm glad to have this one behind us. It's been a relentless few months with lots of dramas going on behind the scenes. Each of us has been affected by health issues in one way or another, if not ourselves than those close to us. Tracey's husband is recovering from heart surgery. Sarah had a worrying time getting all sorts of tests done and a quick stint in hospital. And I had a friend and colleague go in for emergency surgery, resulting in me taking on his workload for a few weeks. It's been a busy, stressful time. And as a grand finale, we had a computer crash on the last day of winter. 

Fortunately, everyone seems to be on the mend now, even the computer. 

So to Melanie, Chloe, Alexia, Sophia, Lucy, Amarlia, Maddison, Arlette and Kiarah, thank you for  making our spring even brighter. 

Monkeying Around

Oh there was much monkeying around in the studio yesterday morning as I had 3 little chappies, including brothers, who had fun modelling our beanies! I couldn't resist to share... don't you think they look cute?! :)

Wild Honey Photography - puppies, families, babies, burst pipes and lots of love.

The poor ol' blog gets a bit neglected, but the Facebook page is getting lots of love. Pop over there to see all the latest going's on. Wild Honey Facebook Page and don't forget to 'like' us while you're there.
But here's a bit of an update if you've missed it. 
Sarah is in the UK for 6 weeks and we're all waiting for photos of her 2-year-old identical triplet nephews. But they just don't stay in the one spot long enough to get a photo! So my daughter Rebekah and I decided to use the word 'triplet' as round one of a Mother vs Daughter challenge. 
Here's the photo I submitted. You can see the results of the challenge on Facebook. 

When it rains it pours. Or maybe all the water in this case is from a burst pipe. Our admin and office guru, Tracey, who keeps things ticking over with a thousand and one tasks behind the scenes at Wild Honey and who is now also showing you your photos while Sarah is away, has been a little scarce this week. Already a busy lady with 6 kids, she brings those same organisational skills to work with her. But last week, just a few hours after welcoming her eldest son back from America with his new lady, a pipe burst and flooded their house and they've ALL had to evacuate. 

Here's a photo we took of some of her extended brood last year.

Come back soon Trace, even if it's just to escape the madness! We miss you.

The lovely Helga is in the studio a couple of days a week photographing bundles of cuteness that come our way from Suzel at Impressionable Kids. I went shopping last week and bought some new fabric and lace to use in the photos. We don't like to get too gimmicky with our photos as we aim for them to be timeless and classic and focus on your baby, not the props. But the lovely antique looking lace should fit in just nicely for the girls. And it doesn't hurt to add a bit of colour now and then and I'll share the photos of our cute model we had to try out the new soft spotty fabric for the boys real soon.

In between all that, I am back and forth between Melbourne and Caloundra. I landed back in Melbourne yesterday and after the beautiful, warm, sunny weather on the Coast, it's just a wee bit chilly down here. I'm teaching, studying and working on a project I'll be exhibiting later this year. Here's a link to that project and one of the images. same same beloved 






So that's a quick update on us. What's been happening in your world?


Cheerio for now,
Deborah

Aww gosh...

I just had to share this little fella. So cute in his suit that was worn 21 years ago by his Uncle.

He wears it well, don't you think?

Precious Baby Ella

So sweet, delicate and dainty. 

Such a joy.

Mr Personality - (Sunshine Coast Baby Portraits)

Oops. Would you look at that, it's February already. We've bounded into the new year with lots of beautiful babies to photograph in our little available light studio near Caloundra. We're trying to get into the habit of sharing more of the lovely images with you, really we are! ;-) 

Sarah captured so much of this little chaps personality I just had to share it. Isn't he adorable.

We do have more updates coming on our Facebook Page so pop in and 'like' us to keep up to date.

Cheers

Sneak Peak!

Here are a couple of sneak peaks from our studio sessions last week...

Sweet as can Bee

Sarah gets to photograph most of the babies these days so while she was out of town briefly I got to soak up some of the gorgeousness. 

Here we have Lovely Avah

 And handsome Landen. 

Getting cuddly with our buzzy bee.

Then and now

I photographed Stella when she was 2 months old (nearly 3 years ago) and this week she came back as a very proud big sister. It's amazing how fast the time goes and how quick they grow. Of course, with my baby just turned 21, I should know how fast the time flies!

Cheers

Deb

Introducing Scarlett and her big sister.

Stella. Then and now.
