Do l get paid overtime for this?

41 weeks, 2 days and counting.

Will this baby never come out?

So here l am. Still. Waiting.

As you do.

So with all this spare time on my hands, l managed to rustle up enough energy to take a couple more photos.

Without further ado :)

While three is still three.

An attempt at a group shot, with remote but remote didn't stretch far enough = take what you can get!

Ummm, disregard stretch marks (I am 41 weeks pregnant here, people!)

Well, hopefully will be back soon with some newborn pics! And info on my return to work coming soon, too.

Sweet Nothing....

Well, the time has finally arrived. With 3 weeks until our baby is expected to arrive, l have finished the last of my sittings. I am still taking/processing orders right through my leave, so feel free to call or email if you have order related questions. Towards the end of May l will post about my return to work, as well as emailing those who have expressed an interest in booking a session upon my return. If l promised to email and you haven't heard from my by the end of May, give me a holler, l may have overlooked you!

I think that's all l have to say at the moment, l am hoping to get time to post some of my recent sessions, so keep an eye out for them. I will also announce bubs arrival here when l get home from hospital!

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and support!

So, this is me a couple of weeks ago (l've got bigger since then!). And just so you know, l do maternity sessions all the time, but because of the private nature of these type of photos, they are never blogged! Keep it in mind if you're expecting!

My baby.....

But probably not the one you're thinking of!
This is our adorable new puppy, 9 week old Coco. She is soooo cute, l look into her beautiful eyes and am smitten!
She is a chocolate labrador for anyone who doesn't recognise the breed.
Will post my maternity photos soon, so stay tuned. :)

Maternity leave.

Finally got around to looking at my schedule and comparing it to my due date and have now set my cut-off for sessions.

I will take session bookings for dates up until Friday 17th April. There will only be limited places available, so get in early to ensure you don't miss out! This date is the last friday of the school holidays, so there will be plenty of time in there to capture your school aged children as well. You can contact me either by email lisajo@netconnect.com.au or call my mobile on 0488 582 543. I have only three weeks until my due date from this cut-off, so there will be no exceptions in booking after this time.

As for my return date, l am thinking towards the end of May, but will have to wait and see how l am coping with the new bub. Preference will be given to newborns and younger babies during this time, as they change so quickly. You are welcome to leave an email at any time during my leave expressing an interest in a session. I will try to reply as often as possible. I will post on the blog when l am ready to get back to it!

And since l can' post without pics, here's my pretties (and can someone explain why my six year old looks more like she is sixteen?)

Candy coloured fun

Blue skies - check
bright balloons - check
pretty girls in cute fairy dresses - check
What a recipe for a photo session! I could hardly go wrong with this, could l ? Love the results - you betcha! (That goes for me and their mummy!)

Baby Love

I'm so lucky! Today one of my good friends brought me her baby and said l could do whatever l liked with him. Seeing how she trusted me not to break her baby in half, l decided to try something a tad different. Hope you all like the results. It was fun. He only peed twice and didn't scream too much!

For you, Bronni, with much love xx

Two little cuties.....

They really are so so cute. Very well behaved for 2 little boys!

I'm a bad blogger!

I feel like l'm never here! And checking my stats l see l have been very neglectful. What can l say?


I'm so VERY tired at the moment, that l just never make it here. And here is the reason why :-

Only 11.5 weeks to go! I will be having some time off in April/May, so if you want a session booking best to get in before then.

More of baby-rama.....

Still swimming in newborns (but would love to have more - hint hint), these are fast becoming some of my favourite sessions. I am in the midst of ordering more wraps and blankets and other bits and pieces to keep these creative newborn sessions fresh and different.

Here is a peek of one of my most recent newbies.....

Out and about....

I will not be around next week, but am still contactable on my mobile most of the time, if you need me. Any emails will be responded to asap.

Because l can't blog without a photo, here is another from my baby boom. This photo is a new favourite! And just a reminder with newborn sessions, the earlier you get in, the better the results in your photos!

Lxx

Be back soon....

Baby boom...

I've had heaps of newborns through in the past few months, but not much time to post about them! Here is a sweet little guy from a few days ago. It was a lonnnnnnng wait for him to finally drop off to sleep, but so totally worth it! Doesn't he look peaceful?

I wish l looked that good sleeping!

More soon...

Life and Loss....

We spent the first day of the New Year celebrating Kaitlynn's 6th birthday. The tooth fairy visited her on New Years Eve for the fist time as well. We had a beautiful day, went out for lunch as a family of five with (mostly) well behaved children. Cake with family rounded out the day.

Today we awoke to the 2nd Jan, mouring the loss of our beloved Bonnie, 11 years. Tears all round.

RIP.

Goodbye old dog.

Three

It comes around so quickly, and so soon my baby is not a baby, no even a toddler, really. All you can call him now is a boy. Boy, oh, boy. He is that fo sure.



Where did the time go?



And now here he is, 3 years old. I'm hoping with this comes a touch of common sense, and maybe easing back his pedal on the metal!

So here he is, on his birthday....

And the cake. You might make a Martha Stewart out of me yet LOL.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Xmas!

A bit early, l know, but l have so much going on at the moment who knows when l will get another chance to blog before christmas. I have another wedding on the weekend, so l'm looking forward to that. Still got a few orders to process and must do the ring around for those that have arrived back from the lab. Kaitlynn had her school concert last night, and she was gorgeous. She's come a long way in 12 months, that she can stand up on stage and sing in front of an audience. It's fantastic!

Bailey turns 3 tomorrow, have to come up with something to do for that....

Anyway, if l don't get back here before christmas (l'll try!) Merry Christmas - from my family to yours!!

Lxxxx

Just swingin'

Trying to get back in the swing of things. So much wedding stuff to finish and then all my pre-xmas orders keeping my veeery busy. But nearly on top of it all now. I think. Oh well, l'll get there in the end.

I still haven't started my christmas shopping, and then l have Bailey's b'day 1 week before xmas and kaitlynn's b'day new years day.

So non stop this time of year.....

Better get back to it, more orders to send to the lab, so if you're waiting for orders, they should be back soon!!

Here's the boy, just swingin' like a monkey....

Sorry!

Where have l been??

Not that l don't have anything to post, just been to busy to do so.....Will hopefully play catch up over the next week.

In the meantime, another wedding.....

Hmmm, Catherine Zeta Jones, eat your heart out!!

Back Soon!

Vicki & Simon {Sneak Peek}

Here are a few l pulled out quickly. There are so many photos to go through, but here is a sample of the day.....

Congrats, enjoy you're honeymoon, and l hope you like these....

Upcoming....

Will be doing a wedding on Saturday, so l'm just giving a heads up on that one. Expect some photos to appear here around Monday.

I love to photograph weddings {l'm such a sticky-beak} and l love that l see it all. Dramas, hissy fits (trust me, they happen!) the emotion,the love. It's all so gorgeous, and l feel so lucky to get to share it with all the wonderful couples who invite me into their world on such an important day in their lives....

Just muckin' around...

Just a taste of the possibilties (comes in handy when you want colour, but the object in your photo doesn't match your home decor)....

The light blue is the original colour.
