Absolutely stunning, adorable images. I must tell you again that your workshop was so, so great and it helped me so much. I had a few newborn sessions since I watched it and I feel much more confident in what I´m doing now and my images have become much better than before. Thank you again for everything you shared with us!

It was so amazing to watch you work. We have had a newborn session since your CL, and it was so much better. I don’t know if we were more confident, or just had the best baby ever, but what a difference it made know just what to do. I know that my business partner and best friend, Mollie (who was part of your audience) was just giddy over our recent session. We hope to achieve your level of excellence in every part of our business. Thank you for giving us the tools to do so!

~ 9 months in the making ~ Brisbane Newborn Photographer

Monday, May 27, 2013

When this beautiful mother contacted me to photograph the birth of her second baby she had only just found out she was pregnant. So we decided to document this special time right from the beginning.

Being there to capture this journey from the beginning – the excitement, the fear, the happiness and love has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my photography career. I feel so honoured to have been there to share in these incredible moments with this family.

Photography is so important in telling our story, whether these life events are big or small, the pictures we take today will be seen by our generations to come – these images will become so much more powerful with each passing day….

Wow this is beautiful and amazing.. You are such an inspiration. I have just bought your sessions on creative live and they are amazing, so what I am looking for. They are so informative and it’s great to see you in action not just reading all about you and your technics. Hers to my business being like yours but a uk version!! You are amazing thank you.

Trudi - May 27, 2013 - 5:01 pm

Absolutely STUNNING Kelly. I discovered your work only recently with watching you on Creative Live. I found your instructions comforting since I was doing so many of the steps already but also very helpful and informative. But the most comforting thing about watching you work was your calming hypnotic manner. I also loved the British words like mummy and nappy and found it so funny they didn’t know it meant diaper! Hehe. I learnt so much and am desperate to try out he new positions and perfect the ones I already do. So thank you very very much! I know this beautiful mummy would have felt comforted and reassured having you with her throughout this time and find it truly beautiful that you have created such a gorgeous record of this amazing time. Stunning work. Truly.

Mariann Asbury - May 27, 2013 - 2:39 pm

Hi Kelly, how special this is. Love the story and shared with my young boys who had a lot of questions answered….8:)

I purchased your class from Creative Live on Newborn Photography and have been watching it over and over. Now my studio will be complete and the way I do things as well. Thanks for a wonderful class.

I could really relate with your business model as I am also a mommy photographer with a husband who is gone for 4-5 weeks at the time and I stay home with our 5 children from 13-2 and try to make it all work. Having fun doing it, but it will be easier now after taking your class. Thank You.

Mollie Meagher - May 27, 2013 - 2:36 pm

Beautiful images Kelly, how special to capture the moments all the way through.

Kate Buechner - May 27, 2013 - 2:34 pm

Wow Kelly…what an amazing collection of storytelling images this family has to treasure. And what a rewarding experience for you!

AIPP QLD Professional Photographer of the Year 2013!!!

Thursday, May 23, 2013

Putting my excitement into words is NOT easy!!!

Last weekend was the annual judging of the AIPP QLD Professional Photography Awards for 2013 here in Brisbane, with the Awards dinner held on Monday night.

Sunday I went to watch the judging of both the Family and Portrait categories along with many other hopeful photographers eager to see their images come up and be judged by 5 Master Photographers. Each judge gives the image a score out of 100 and the average score is given to your print. It’s exciting and nerve racking all at the same time and I love it!!!

So this year my main goal is to achieve my Master of Photography status with the AIPP in September at the National Awards, to gain your Masters you have to earn 15 points within 5 years of becoming an accredited member of the AIPP. Each Silver award is worth one point and each Gold award is worth two and you can only enter 4 images. I need two points!!! and these points can only be achieved at the National Awards not State.

At our State Awards we’re allowed to enter a maximum of 12 images but only 4 images into each category. So I entered 4 into Family and 4 into Portrait in hope to find my 4 strongest images to send off to APPA’s in September. I was ecstatic that my 8 entries were awarded 1 Gold, 2 Silver with Distinction and 4 Silvers. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect at the awards dinner that my awarded images would win both categories and then I would be announced the AIPP QLD Professional Photographer of the Year for 2013!!!!!!

WOW is all I say every time I look at the trophy sitting in my office! I just can’t describe how it feels, I had absolutely know idea that I would ever come close to winning something like this!! And I’m only the 4th women to have their name on this trophy!!!!

I left my finished digital images with Foto Frenzy for printing and Matting and then the delivery of my print case, as I had to be in Seattle before the entry deadline. Darren did such an amazing job - I can’t thank him enough!

I also want to thank all of the judges and volunteers who put in countless hours of their valuable time to help us on our quest in becoming better photographers by entering these awards. If it wasn’t for them these events wouldn’t be possible. I also want to congratulate all of the other Category winners and finalists – their entries were AMAZING! Queensland is full of so many talented to photographers.

You can see all of the category winners here…. GALLERY OF WINNERS
