enough to make anyone clucky. that was sweet matthew, 12 days old. he is a very chilled out baby. with a doting big sister, isabella. i could have wrapped them both up and brought them home with me.

the beautiful big sister

love this little blonde bit of hair at the back!

*sigh*

(thanks rebeccah, enjoy your sneak peek, and i’ll be in touch soon)

ps, only one more session for 2009, keep your eye out for some business news for 2010!

i’m so behind in my work at the moment…..my apologies to louise and brett for your sneak peek having taken so long. my days have been hectic (3 sessions over the weekend, plus helping my sister move house = one very tired and busy fiona!!!!).

so i won’t beat around the bush, you want to see images, so images you will get.

ps, this session was held at my house – my husband wanted to keep lachlan, and my eldest son, sam, was bawling after they left because he didn’t get a cuddle. THAT’S how cute lachlan is!

had a fun session today at one of my favourite spots, shorncliffe. this is literally 10mins from where i live, and i bring my boys here quite a bit, so i know it well. jason is in the army and is getting deployed early next year for 9 months (god help you, jacqui – are you are stronger woman than i!!!), so they wanted some photos before he left. their kids are simply gorgeous, and i had a lovely time photographing them.

thanks guys, enjoy, and i’ll be in touch soon xx

the family shots first



i LOVE this one – love how harlan is up top, looking like he’s giving directions, and then mannon looking like it’s just too gross to even look at!!!

the adorable sasi – love the sand all over her face!

the incredibly cheeky, harlan – but equally as adorable!

the hilarious mannon, who kept striking a pose for me!

these guys asked for some photos of just them…which i love. most parents are more concerned about photos of the kids, but it’s just as important to have photos of you as a couple! i LOVE how chuffed jason looks here – and with such a gorgeous wife, you can probably see why!

one crazy child? check. one quiet, self contained child? check. one with a gorgeous, big, contagious smiles? check. these guys have it all, and they sure know how to have fun. i loved this session so, so much. (and because i didn’t have to chase a toddler around making animal noises to get him to look at me, it was a real novelty for me too!!!) not only are these guys a gorgeous looking family, but they are all so sweet, and adoring of each other. made me kinda wish i was a big sister!!!!

jonathan and julie, you have an amazing family. thank you so much for sharing it with me for a few hours. enjoy!

yep, i think i fell a little bit in love with these 2. nash helped me pick out some wonderful spots for photos (and believe me, he has an eye for location hunting!!), and when maya told me that she would miss me….awwwwwwww, she was just the cutest.

these guys are on holidays up on the sunshine coast, so it was my absolute pleasure to capture them at play! louise and chris, enjoy the rest of your holiday. you have amazing kids. i’ll be in touch soon xx

i have been promising clients that I would have my christmas packages ready by now….and finally I have them done, so I’ll be emailing the prices and what is included around today, i promise!

here is an example of the customised christmas cards that are on offer. a big thank you to my neighbours for letting me use photos of their kids. unfortunately….my boys suffer from “photographer’s child syndrome” (yes, it’s very real, lol). they don’t like to be photographed, especially together. so i had no photos of my own boys that i could use, and had to resort to the neighbour’s kids!

without further ado, here are 2 different examples. i have many more to choose from!

if you are interested in hearing about my christmas packages, please pop me an email on fiona@fionacarsonphotography.com.au or give me a bell on 0421 647 252.

one of the things i adore about my work (apart from having the PERFECT job of course) is when i get clients who come back to me regularly. these guys actually purchased one of my bump to bubba packages that last 12 months…so i saw summer in utero, as a newborn, as a 6 month old and now as a scrumptiously, gorgeous 1 year old. i love seeing kids grow up before my camera…and being able to capture each small phase in their life for their mum and dad. kids grow up so damn quickly, and this first 12 months surely flies….it’s so nice having it captured so you can look back and remember fondly!

phew, now that little bit of soppiness is out of road….check out summer again! here she is at 6 months and as a newborn and here she is all snug in her mama’s belly. she’s such a happy little thing…and what a little supermodel, huh?

kate and dan, thank you so much for yesterday afternoon, i could have giggled at summer and her poses all afternoon long! thank you so much for the 12 months…..i hope i get to photograph summer again! enjoy your sneak peek!

i love this sequence of photos

yep, i brought out the big, green chair again!

summer has the best expressions! i was cracking up the whole time!

she loves her daddy

she’s just recently learnt to clap and put her hands on her head…so cute!

and just to show you an out take…..this is the kind of face you get after a mouthful of sand!!! still pretty cute though!

this gorgeous family was one of my very first portfolio building sessions….so it was so lovely to be able to come back and photograph them again…with the new addition, harry. big bro, cooper, was a little champion in front of the camera – i seriously need him to come and have a chat to my own boys, and show them how it’s done!

little harry took a while to go to sleep….but with a little patience, he soon dropped off, and i started my “baby moulding”!!

danny and cinty, thank you so much for having me back to photograph you guys today. i can’t wait to do some more in 6 months time for you! enjoy your sneak peek, and i’ll be in touch soon

the gorgeous older brother, cooper

he lay here so still for this, the perfect model!

no more tears, cinty, here’s a gorgeous one of you with your boy!

and the gorgeous harry
