Inspired by Pippi Longstocking

Sometimes when there is a new arrival in the family it isn’t all roses. There can be a little sibling rivalry, even when the sibling is of the fur covered kind. Astrid at 10 days old has captured the hearts of Caolyn & Ben but her ‘brother’ will need a little warming up. On a glorious autumn day I met Carolyn & Ben in their home in Winmalee, basking in the joy of little Astrid, named after the famous author of the Pippi Longstocking stories. We even ventured outside to enjoy the fresh air, bird song and warmth.

Carolyn & Ben received a gift voucher for their newborn photo session, having put it on their Baby Shower wish list. I love that idea! And what wonderful friends & colleagues to gift them such a special momento of this time in their lives.

Bianca & Steve – Preview

Bianca & Steve went on a morning walk through the grounds at Kiwarrak Country Retreat in the Manning Valley recently, and the light was simply divine. It was such a pleasure to share a photo session with two adorable people so in love.

To travel the world for you.. Morgan & Roger

Morgan & Roger met in Brisbane around 2 weeks before he was leaving Australia to return to his home in the USA almost 4 years ago. One week before Roger left they went on a date. They fell in love. In our photo session they not only shared their amazing story of love and travel with me but they also shared with me their laughter and beautiful energy.

Couples photo sessions with Over the Moon Photography are so much more than posing in one spot and then being told to ‘kiss and have a connection!’. Morgan and Roger’s photos show that it was an adventure in the woods that was a beautiful celebration of them as a couple, enjoying an afternoon stroll soaking up the sunshine, the freshness of the air, and each other. I create photo sessions that allow you to open up, be who you are and truly connect, so that you remember the feelings and the fun time you had when you see your photos on the wall, instead of cringing.

Morgan and Roger now live in the USA together and on a visit to Australia with family, Roger proposed on Valentine’s Day. There is no doubt from spending an afternoon with these two that they are indeed soul mates. I asked Roger why he was still in love with Morgan after all this time and his reply was this: ‘We are always honest, we constantly laugh and we still keep it romantic. And we are best friends that like to hang out with each other – even in silence.’

Morgan & Roger thank you for celebrating such a special time in your lives with me and for allowing me to capture it.

Our gorgeous sunset photo session was on the grounds at Kiwarrak Country Retreat in the stunning Manning Valley on the mid north coast. I love to travel, it is part of what nourishes me as a photographer, so don’t feel that because I live in the Blue Mountains that you have to miss out on having gorgeous photos captured of you and your loved one. Get in touch and see when I’ll be in your neck of the woods next.

A trip down memory Lane – Little Frankie

I am delighted when I am invited back into the life of a family, to celebrate their growth and little new additions. Recently you might have seen a post celebrating Jackie & David’s precious new bundle, Stella (see: A Little Sister – Stella). I got to meet her at only 15 days old, and she is divine. Her ‘big’ brother Frankie is a wonderful whirlwind of energy and smiles at 2 years old now, and after our photo session I felt the need to revisit his photos from I met him – again at almost the same age as I met his sister – a fresh 14 days old. Our session was a relaxed afternoon of following the needs of little Frankie – , sleeping, waking, feeding, nappy changes, and lots of love, cuddles and doting from his Mum & Dad. There is so much more gushing I could do but I’d rather share the images that speak for themselves.
