I meet the most amazing people in business. Running a business is hard work, it’s really rewarding but it’s really hard work. That’s why I have to take my hat off to women out there who not only run a business but also have families and kids they need to look after too.
Two women whom I got to meet and photograph recently are defiantly part of that group who are not only doing great things in business but are also have families to contend too.
Elizabeth from La Toriana and Angela from Lambykins approached me for some PR photography for some press releases they are planning to send out. Together Elizabeth and Angela have released an organic range of premature baby clothing. Elizabeth and Angela have been friends for over twenty years, in which this time Elizabeth had three premature babies. From this experience they realised how traumatic it is for mothers who can’t get appropriate clothing for their premature babies. A nurse even suggested to Elizabeth that she buy cabbage patch dolls clothing or get something specially made.
“It was the last thing I needed: my babies were vulnerable enough without seeing them in dolls clothes or over sized hospital-issued garments. I longed to have some nice clothes for my baby that actually fitted and were suitable for the NICU,” Elizabeth says.
The clothing is so soft and beautiful. My brother was 12 weeks premature and I’ve been told all my life about how he was smaller than my father’s hand. I’ve even seen photos. But I still couldn’t believe how small these clothes needed to be for premature babies (the clothing is sized for babies from 800 grams). It was also amazing to see and hold a keepsake doll in the size of a premature baby. So tiny….
I am also very aware how traumatic that time in my parent’s life was, even though my brother has gone on to lead a full and healthy life it was very tough and go for many months for my mother and him.
Angela has added this new premature range to her existing range of children’s clothing and Elizabeth also stocks this new range at La Toriana.
Baby Blue Eyes | Melbourne Family Photographer
Friday, June 12th, 2009
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Jacobsen family. Freya who has the most amazing blue eyes was an absolute pleasure to photograph. Apparently, she’d kept mum and dad up all night, but I wouldn’t have known. We didn’t see a single grumble, cry or even whimper during the entire session! Freya is 6 months old, which is a fantastic age to photograph babies.

Wedding Testimonial
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
Recently, a guest at a wedding I photographed wrote a loverly write up about me and the photographs I took on her blog..
Jay from Finki is actually a local Melbourne artist who makes beautiful handmade things which are defiantly worth checking out. Visit her
website or blog to see some of her beautiful creations. I absolutely adore her cute handstitched bowls and notebooks.
“A few weeks back Ben & Jess got married having Kierah as there flower girl.
I’ve been hanging out for the professional photo’s to be ready to see how they captured my non posing, anti girly girl daughter.
The photographer Lizzy, was so nice to work with and I was mighty envious of her big, beautiful camera. We got to see a sneak preview of Lizzy’s work with pics taken of Ben and Jess pre wedding. They were so natural, capturing such warmth and affection. We knew the wedding ones would be worth the wait.What she does too, which I think is really clever, is present the portfolio of the days pictures as an online gallery. The bride and groom then give the special password for the gallery to there friends and family, so they can chose pics for themselves. That’ s so good.
I’m sure you know the frustration of getting all dolled up to go out, just to be the one behind the camera taking pics of everyone else and never having nice ones to share of hubby and you. Usually in this instance the bride and groom might have a copy of all the pics for them selves, but you miss out.So I was really excited to have the opportunity to buy some for myself.
I’ve chosen just enough to have a beautiful memento of the day, and the photo’s……………they are just glorious. We couldn’t have hoped for anything better. Here’s one of Kierah pre wedding, at Jess’s house. It’s just so serene. Just beautiful.
I also chose one out of the shot’s Jess and Ben had alone, as the one to frame for the house. It’s just so quirky and cute, which really suits them to a tee. No cliches’, no running through the beach and holding hands. Just them……so honest and so in love.
If you’re looking for a photographer for any special event, I highly recommend Lizzy. Her professionalism, creativity, talent and ability to capture such natural and timeless images is paramount. So, so happy with the pics of our little girl.”
