Meet little Miss Dare-Devil Kat.
She amazed me with her NO FEAR as she scooted down the hill in her hot little car, again and again. No breaks might I add. haha (Totally safe, it ended on the flat – but still!)
It’s so cool to be invited back again, and see how the babes I have photographed have grown. 2 years go so quick.
Such a fun session. You can tell I had a hard time choosing images for the blog. I got a little carried away! ha
December 7, 2009 - 8:09 pm - OH! This didn't space out that previous comment like I had, but you get the idea :)
December 7, 2009 - 8:08 pm - FROM WENDYs EMAIL TO SAY THANKS, MAMA OF KAT: Hi Catherine We LOVE the images. They turned out so much better than I imagined. Thank you for your perseverance when Kat decided she wanted to do her own thing. You have really captured her - her expressions and her personality which is exactly what I wanted. I emailed the link to quite a few people (because the photos are so great and I wanted to show off my little girl) - here are some of the great comments we got back Oh, Wendy. These are divine. She is growing to look more like you everyday and that beautiful smile is just amazing. OH they are completely Beautiful photos! Just gorgeous! Thank you for sending them on – she is a very good photographer Fabulous! What stunning photography and biased or not Kat looks gorgeous. Looks like you had lots of fun with it. These photos are soooo impressive. I am so over “staged” and “posed” photos like you see in all the shopping centre places. These are fantastic, the photos are alive and imagine how great they will look when you get them printed. Words fail me! I am seriously sitting here crying looking at the photos of your beautiful princess and of you all together! You look absolutely stunning! They are breath taking! How do you ever choose which ones? surely you will have to buy the ALL?? Thank you sooooo much for sharing them. Going to go and get some tissues now... …. I’m lucky to have so many lovely friends to send such great comments! .....
Just two weeks old.
I photographed little Abby when she was three weeks old, so taking photographs of little Harrison felt like daysavoo!
What a sweet little man, they were both oh so good for our early morning session.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting little Miss Ava. One week old. Owww, oww owww! How precious.
Well done Denai, isn’t she just perfect.
My other dear friend Jasmin in Cairns had her little man Logan on Sunday.
Congratulations beautiful woman, so proud of you! All of you baby having women. It’s such a HUGE deal!
Gosh, and just so amazing.
Here’s a couple quick images of Ava, the little sleeper. She slept and slept and was oh so hungry when she woke.
November 24, 2009 - 11:41 pm - Hey darl!!! When I read your blog posts about mothering and 'Ec' etc etc it just amazes me at your dedication to the whole job. Mothering for me in the early days always seemed like such a chore and still is at the best of times. I wish I had your zeal and commitment. You're a real inspiration. You have taken hold of your role as a mother in leaps and bounds and with such enthusiasm and brought a light into what can be a very hard time for alot of ppl as it was for me. I am so proud of you and I think River has one of the most amazing mum's any child could possible dream of having!!! He is a very blessed little man!! Love YO xxx

November 18, 2009 - 8:45 am - Great photography Catherine! We need to borrow this kind of location to shoot my homewares!
November 17, 2009 - 10:12 pm - Wow- when can I move in?
Meh, these don’t do it for me as much as the jumping in shots. See what you think, here is the part two of this series..
November 17, 2009 - 11:20 am - I also don't think they are as vibrant as the jumping ones...it's like the theme has gone from fun to sexy...which is great, i recon it tells a story! the 'wet' look is great too!
November 17, 2009 - 7:26 am - Will agree that the jumping ones had more punch! However, I'm really looking forward to seeing the ones from the viewing window! Had a bit of a drama with burning you a disk of the underwater shots @ work so I did it over the weekend. Missed the post yesterday (gateway traffic, grrr) but hope to make it this afternoon! Whatta mission! xoxo
November 16, 2009 - 8:35 pm - I really like the contrast of colours here Cath... it's interesting, as is the texture in the water and the architectural lines... All up, very interesting and appealing results. Your bride is a lovely and naturally beautiful looking girl too which is always a bonus! Love you babe and I wish I had time to update my blog... It seems like fun! YO x
November 16, 2009 - 1:11 pm - I think these photos are beautiful - but I do prefer the jumping photos! It looks so much fun!
Last week with River on my back in the ergo, I worked with Janina on this Enviro-trend bag product shoot. We did this in my space, using the in-house studio set up.
Such cool designs! Very funky, and very awesome to see a small business take off!
ABOUT ENVIROTREND
Janina Byrne and Celina Jorgensen came up with the Enviro-Shopper concept over a bottle of champagne in 2006 and have not looked back.
Close friends for over a decade, the duo’s combined backgrounds in law & business and design & marketing made for a perfect partnership.
Both women have small children and run their own respective businesses as well. EnviroTrend is a business they are building in their “spare” time after spotting a gap in the market! While being environmentally conscious is important to both women, neither were fussed on toting around ordinary green bags – especially outside the supermarket!
All our products are made from 100% recyclable non woven polypropylene. Our first product, the EnviroShopper was designed as a stylish alternative to supermarket green bags . These eco-friendly reusable bags were an instant hit and our first shipment of 6000 bags sold out in just three months. The EnviroShopper bags are lightweight, have long handles and fold flat. Each one holds the equivalent of four supermarket plastic bags thanks to the reinforced seams.
The EnviroTrend® range now includes a wide range of EnviroShoppers , EnviroCinos and Roll&Fold bags. All come with blank gift tags so they make a perfect eco gift!
Our customers use our eco bags to carry anything from groceries, university books, sports gear or even as nappy bags.
The philosophy of EnviroTrend® is to reduce unnecessary waste by spreading the environmental message through creative design and quality environmentally friendly products. The next time you give a gift, think about using one of our bags they make a great alternative to gift wrapping. You’ll be giving a gift that keeps on giving.
We are continually adding to our range of recyclable carry bags and love receiving your feedback, so please contact us with any comments or suggestions you have.
Remember to take an EnviroTrend® bag wherever you go and help make a positive contribution to reducing plastic bags in style!
OH MY GOSH!!
This would have to be one of THE coolest shoots out! haha This is another of my little projects that I have FINALLY had the opportunity to do.
Sam, you are a legend. As always. Unreal. You need a model, shes a willing contestant. And so much fun. A special thank you to Lauren Patten who did the fabulous make up – although it’s not a feature of these particular shots. I have three sets from this shoot. This would be stage one. It gets better! Whoop! Watch this space…
What do you think?
December 1, 2009 - 3:57 pm - i have a friend interested in shooting underwater at this pool - can you send me the address? is it a public pool or did you have to hire the underwater viewing tank area? ps. post up the other shots!! :) xx

Helen & Andrew were married back in May 2007 on Stradbroke Island. Their celebrant was Ingrid, with their reception at Amies restaurant. I thought it might be nice to share some of their wedding images with you for today’s post.
January 27, 2010 - 11:49 pm - Fabulous work...
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing this Palm Beach property for Chris from PRD . It’s up for RENT, and need I say more. What a view! 2 bed, 2 bath.
