A few secrets I will share with you all today, my weaknesses. Weaknesses of mine towards opposite sex:  man in a suit with a tie or a shirt with top button undone, a long coat and last but not least a scarf. I don’t know why but I love that look. So gentleman like and romantic looking.

In the weekend, I was grumpy and tired so I hand over ‘dressing the kids’ job to Quoc. I later walked into the room and stop on my track at the sight of Quoc buttoning up Tyler’s shirt. I was really grumpy and was frowning but inside I soften up completely. This is the first time I’ve ever seen my little boy in a shirt. As Quoc finished up, Tyler ran to me and asked ‘ Mommy!! Nice?’ I smiled and hugged him and replied ‘ Noice!’ My little man. How I adore him.

As he will be going to child care soon, these images played in my head and though he did not co-operate, I managed to get a few shots. Soon my little man will be exploring the world. Every time I think about it ( very often now ) I would be teary and would sit for ages watching him, especially when he’s asleep. And tears follows. I do think that I need to learn how to let go.

I want to go to this part of the world.

My suitcase.

Ready to see the world …

with my two big eyes.

 

Totally out of focus but my goodness, this expression melt my heart.

 

 

I hope he will always be happy. smiley and carefree like this.

Mums and dads and friends .. have you got a thought in a your head that you think will be great seeing in pics?? I love being creative but at the same time I also like it to be sentimental and would love to hear ideas/visions from you. Hopefully I can bring each and every visions to life. Share it with me?????? Please email me at info@annieqphotography.com.au
Thanking you in advance for sharing your visions/ideas with me!

I call her a smiley baby. She smiles all day long. Today though, she’s finding some comfort in her daddy’s arms as her first tooth is emerging. Bottom gum. Fever of 39.1 degrees. In the same week, she can now crawl well and beginning to learn how to stand. Many milestones within a week. I didn’t have these pics of my son and I’m regretting it so I’m not about to make the same mistake twice. My camera and my eyes are now officially as one.

I love the contrast. This stir emotions in me.

Daddy’s little girl

 

Big brother sympathising with little sister’s pain. This is purely candid.

 ‘ Sleep like a baby ‘. I now understand.

I often wonder what it’s like to like a boy from school, have him liking you in return and then to call each other boyfriend and girlfriend. I sometimes wonder if the boy/girl pray to the  stars for the night to be over quickly so that they can see each other again in the morning. I feel all girly and tingly at the thought of a boy sneaking a look at a girl in class instead of concentrating on the textbook and I feel all happy and ‘ aww’ at the thought of a boy turning up to school with a bunch of roses to say either ‘ I love you’ or that ‘ I’m sorry for making you mad’. The image of a boy and a girl holding hands innocently in the playground, discussing homework, sneaking a peck in their uniform is actually so adorably cute to me now. I’m all tingly.

Please meet high school sweethearts Tam and Leeanne. Yes you read it right! They are high school sweethearts .. awwwww … and since those old days, they now have a little bub together, Lara, who is about to turn one soon! The journey that have taken them to where they are today is simply a love story worth capturing for them to show their kids later. Look Lara, instead of concentrating on textbook, mum and dad sneak a look at each other now and then .. and now you are the result from those innocent sneaky look

High School sweethearts.

Meet baby Lara Grace ( If I have a second daughter, I was going to name her Lara Jade .. close hey?)

Com’n Lara .. run to mommy and daddy! I think all parents can see themselves in this pic

Lara will turn one very shortly and this photo shoot is for them to remember what their daughter is like when she was one.

You will be okay baby … Mummy’s giving you kisses to make you feel better.

Teary eyes and motherly love.

You know that sydney weather’s been crazy but hello yummy lighting!

 

I am a big believer in having some private moments between husband and wife. Even if it’s only for 5 mins. That’s how the flame get re-kindle isn’t it?

I adore Lara’s expression here!

 

I will just concentrate on finishing my strawberry .. you do what you do mom and dad.

 

Look at how excited she is! 

I have a soft spot for ‘daddy and his little girl ’so I shall end the post with the below pic.

To be honest, I thought this session was soooo difficult and it was a real challenge for me. The wind, the constant movement and an upset Lara put me on my feet and to the test. Looking at these pics now, I’m happy with the result and I do hope that you and Tam will be too Leeanne I really do hope that these images of you daughter make your heart soften and for you guys to be proud of the journey you both have taken together since high school.

I’m so glad that I got asked to document for what I call the beginning of a journey. For me, to document anything from the beginning of a journey, whether it’s a birth of a newborn baby to a wedding vow to be together a lifetime to a business opening promising success, it’s an honor. A real honor. This is Fitness Studio. It is a very clean modern looking gym with a great team so if you want to get fit ( Summer is just around the corner ) do check it out! 

The entrance to Fitness Studio.

It’s definitely endurance and determination that will get you this body result!

The Zumba room .. party room on the night.

 Thank you so much for letting me be apart of this special occasion and I wish you guys all the success and as written on your card from QGN Law, hope that your business will age like a bottle of cognac.

Sydney weather can’t get any worse than this. So cold and cloudy!! I can’t wait till winter is over and for day light savings to greet us again.

On this rainy, windy day, I was cuddling up in bed listening to music and as I listened, I thought of what is the best job in the universe and here’s my list in no specific order: Singer, writer and that includes song and biography and poetry, photographer, artist, dancer, instrumental player and a psychiatrist .. I love to know what’s in their world. I thought this list have one thing in common. And I thought of one word that best describe it … ‘ expressive’.
