Behind the Scenes Halloween Edit

Every so often I like to stretch my creative legs and do "Fantasy Edits" like this Halloween one. 

Portrait photography uses photoshop in a very restrained way. It is about retouching things to look like you never did. To fly under the radar with Photoshop so that it is the beautiful people you see in the photo and not the editing. 

Fantasy Edits are a bit different. This type of editing is to merge elements together to create a photo that you know is not real but that blends so well you accept is as an artwork. Here are the elements I used to create my Halloween photo: 

Wooden stool from Island Vine Designs

The background is from www.deviantart.com 

The cauldron is from www.vectorhq.com

I used techniques from this tutorial:

This style of edit is something new to me and certainly just for fun, but if you like this sort of photography artwork, check out these amazing pages:

Twice the Love

Two very cute little people visited recently - and they brought their adorable big brother with them!  Thomas is the most doting and sweet big brother and the twins are going to be so lucky to have him looking out for them in years to come. 

These twins are non-identical brother and sister and they arrived a little early, which meant a short stay at hospital. They were the picture of health when I photographed them at just 2 weeks old.  

I love the photo of them in Dad's arms, cradles and snoozing. I always try to create images that are relaxed and comfortable both for baby and to look at. 

It was such a joy to photograph this family, and the exciting thing is that they will be returning for a six month old session and a one year old session next year - I can't wait!

A lot of cute, and a few smiles!

This little man was full of smiles for Mum and Dad, it's the most precious thing to capture such special memories for families such as this. 

I love the green photo on his gorgeous handmade blanket, a welcome gift from Nanna. It is always so nice to include personal items in your session as it makes for photos unique to your family.

Sibling Love

The amount of cute from these two poppets is enough to break the cute-scale!  I always have a few plans for sibling photos as there tend to be two types of older sibling. Some toddlers are more interested in everything else in the room, some love to have a cuddle with their new sibling, which these two certainly did. 

This white blanket was also a very special inclusion for this family as it was mum's when she was born and we photographed it with Miss 17 moths at her newborn session.

Big Sister Kisses

If theres one thing I love more than photographing newborns, its photographing newborn smiles! Judging by all the smiles from this little poppet, she certainly loved her big sister kisses! 

She was also one of the first babies in my gorgeous new nest from Island Vine Designs, a local business here in North Brisbane. They create the most amazing natural pieces from native Australian plants, perfect for photography props and homewares.

We had a stunning evening for this family shoot - although we did have to hide from a rain shower at one point. We nearly postponed due to the high winds that day, can you believe it? In the end it was so calm we got some great reflection photos.

A new baby sister

This little girl is so lucky to have not one but two protective big bothers looking out for her! I just love the photo of the three of them together, you can almost hear a conversation between the brothers about how cute she is. An absolute little sweetheart she even snuck a couple of shy smiles into her session. 

Someone special, someone dear. 

Someone new to love is here.
