Vicki James Creative Imagery Blog

Zave visited my studio at the end of December and he was only 8 days old! I love photographing newborns, they are so tiny and precious. I love hearing the story of their arrival. I love being able to give the mummy and daddy a little break from their workload. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of this post to see what my clients get up to during their bubs newborn shoot!

And while I was concentrating on bub, mummy and daddy took some time to check out Facebook lol!

Happy New Year

To say the end of 2011 was busy is an understatment. I photographed many gorgeous weddings, happy families, blooming bellies and precious newborns. I am so lucky to go to work and do what I love. Everyday.

I love to recieve phone call and emails, I love talking to clients, current, new and prospective. I love the relationships that blossom from sharing in a small part of people lives.

One thing that is not on my love list though is working 24/7. I have been taking phone calls from people at all hours of the day and night. Every week. Something had to give and I ended up sick and run down at the end of the year. Not a good thing when you are a person who really values their health.

I made a promise to myself in February 2011 that I would have a better life/work balance and this year is the year to implement it!

For 2012, my business hours are:

Tuesday to Friday 9.00am-5.00pm.

On Saturdays I shoot weddings and Sunday is my day off. Monday is also planned as a day off, depending on how I feel.

If you email, call or message me out of office hours I may not respond until the next working day.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t think that you are important, it’s quite the opposite! I am a better photographer when I have time off and will therefore be a better photographer for YOU!

Just a few images from my last shoots of 2011, I have whole lot of blogging to catch up on!

Dee and Matt {Angourie Rainforest Resort, Yamba Wedding}

Beautiful shells, natural colours, candles in rattan vases and Sirromet Perfect Day wine graced the tables of the Angourie Rainforest Resort. Matt and Dee had been planning their beach wedding from September last year and not one detail had been forgotten. They had Green Point picked as their ceremony location and we planned to take their photos on the beach.

Matt and Dee’s wedding they woke to find dark clouds and rain on their wedding day. They were ready to take it on and were extremely positive despite the incessant torrential rain.

Plan B for the ceremony was the Poolside Pergola at the resort. With Christine Preston as the celebrant, sincere and heartfelt vows were exchanged and I doubt there was a dry eye amongst their guests.

Matt and Dee were really keen to live out their dream and have their beach photos taken. The pouring rain on their wedding day is their story and we wanted to tell it like it was. We made mad dashes across rain soaked paths as they sheltered under umbrellas. You can see the rain in the shots!

The reception had been decorated by Fabulous Functions and Dee and her bridesmaids had provided some of the finishing touches. It was warm and inviting with a celebratory ambience, you couldn’t ask for more to top off Matt and Dee’s perfect day.
