Zave (8 days old)

Vicki James — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:45:19 +0000

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!

Welcome Hudson {Yamba Newborn Photography}

Vicki James — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:51:22 +0000

Little Hudson came to my Yamba studio when he was six weeks old and what a little cutie he is. He smiled, coo-ed and pulled all the cheeky expressions a little one can to make you fall in love in love with him. Over and over again. You’ll be seeing more of Hudson in a few months time as he joins his mum and dad on one of the the most important days of their life, their wedding. I’m really looking forward to sharing in this little families day.

Olivia {Maclean Newborn Portraits}

Vicki James — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:58:59 +0000

I think that I have said this before, but one of the most rewarding aspects of being a wedding and portrait photographer is following the life journey of my clients turned friends. Ben and Amy were married last September (you can view their photos here) and have just welcomed little Olivia into the world. Olivia was 8 days old when I called into their home for some family photos. She is so tiny (only 5 pound 8 ) and so so sweet.

I hope you enjoy their photos.

Sam {Yamba Newborn Portraits}

Sam is just way too cute! He was six weeks old when he and his family were in my studio. To say he is adored is an understatement!

I hope you enjoy the photos from his session.

Analah {Yamba Newborn Portraits}

Vicki James — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:24:37 +0000

Analah was a whole 12 days old when her Mummy and her came for her photos. She was the perfect age for newborn portraits as she was still sleepy and happy to let us pose her in in pretty much any position. She was an absolute little angel while she was here and I just love the photos we captured of her.

I hope you enjoy them also.

Bayden {Yamba Family Portraits}

Vicki James — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 10:02:05 +0000

I photographed this little family in their home last week. Their home was the perfect studio; white walls, ceilings and floors with neutral furnishings. It felt like home (and with the amount of gear I was packing, they probably thought I was moving in!)

Nicola and Trent are marrying later this year so it was really nice to get to know them and Bayden during the photo shoot. I really love knowing the couples and families I photograph before their wedding day. I think it makes the whole day more enjoyable for everyone. Plus they now know I will do anything for a good photo, including wearing a rainbow coloured, jingle bell ringing, two foot long caterpillar on my head!

I hope you enjoy their photos.

Pietra {Yamba Family Portraits}

Vicki James — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 02:57:37 +0000

I had a lovely little studio portrait session with this family of three on the weekend. Baby Pietra is a such a sweet little munchkin and her little dimples had me with her first smile. I have been editing their session this week and these are the first few photos that jumped out at me. I hope you enjoy!

Ella Ruby {Newborn Portraits}

Vicki James — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 05:50:47 +0000

All newborn babies are special, but Ella Ruby is extra special as she is the much wished for and long awaited daughter of Nikki and Chris. Nikki and Chris were one of the first wedding couples I ever photographed ( they were very brave!) and it’s so lovely to be able to photograph them as their family grows.

Ella was 3 weeks old when we took her photos and only around 6lbs. What a precious little doll.

I hope you enjoy the photos from her session.

Kristal ~ Pregnancy Portraits

Vicki James — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 01:47:58 +0000

Yesterday I spent a glorious winters afternoon photographing Kristal. Kristal is due to have her second baby in about 6 weeks. There’s a few locations that I’ve be keen to shoot at so we travelled around a bit and we were lucky enough to find some glorious light.

It’s always fun for me when you a have someone in front of your camera who is funny, confident and beautiful inside and out, plus they are willing to let you take them anywhere for photos!! Thank you Kristal.

I hope you enjoy a few that jumped out at me this morning.

Family Time | Lismore Lantern Parade

Vicki James — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 02:35:00 +0000

Yesterday Anthony, I, my girls and my niece made the trek to Lismore to see the annual Lismore Lantern Parade. During the quiet part of the year (in terms of weddings) I really try to spend some quality time with my girls to hopefully make up for the many weekends I am working the rest of the year.

I also really wanted to spend some time practicing some of my night photography skills and what better way than at a Lantern Parade. In order to challenge myself further (and also for the mere fact I didn’t want to carry my entire photography kit) . I picked my camera body (Canon 5D for those who are interested), my flash (my flash Canon 580ex-really should learn how to use that thing better) and then I did something really wild. I shut my eyes, put my hand in my bag a pulled out a random lens. Seriously. I am that wild! I ended up taking the 50mm 1.2. Yay! I love that lens!

To start with, we have the Cast of Characters….and I mean characters!

My little girl, pose much?

My big girl, she’s growing up so fast and she is just such so lovely (I can say that, I’m her mum):

My niece, Mik, she loves hanging out with my girls:

It is impossible to get a ‘normal’ photo of them at this stage in their life, I thought I would try again later:

It didn’t get any better..what’s with the beanie OVER the hood Mik?

The parade:

The dinosaurs from Erth made an appearance. I’ve seen these guys a few times and that are so talented!
