Just another glorious day here in the paradise of Port Stephens and another busy day at Capture Imaging.

Brent was out photographing  the Kennedy family as they laughed and played. The peaceful happiness of this family is just reflected beautifully in these images.

Wally is their eight year old Border Collie, who is very much apart of the family was included in the shoot. Like most dogs Wally is fixated on playing fetch with the ball. Brent was able to capture the intensity in Wally’s expression. The  family loved this image so much that Wally will now join the precious images of the family and hang on the walls in the Kennedy’s home.

We created this beautiful personal art for the Kennedy’s. We carefully choose their favourite images and had the images tailor matted ready for framing. Priceless art of Kennedy family for 2010.

Twins are a blessing in themselves, but these two are just adorable. Cheeky smiles, blond curls and the energy of a football team !!!

Billy and Halley are the best for friends at four years old. They had soooo much fun jumping off the sand dunes, playing tugg o war and chasing bubbles in the breeze. These two are water babies as well so we had them back to the pool at the studio to do some Aqua Kids shots as well. What little ones doesn’t want to be a mermaid or pirate diving for treasure in the afternoon ?

These children’s smiles are infectious & I love the body language between these two as well. We have been able to create some amazing art that will grace this families walls for a life time to come.

The Mulhearn family came to our studio for a planning meeting. The girls have been dancing for many years and it was very clear that their parents are very proud of their beautiful daughters.

On the day of the shoot there had been some fairly heavy showers and we were a little concerned about the weather, but over at Zenith beach, there was a little breeze and the rain held off as we managed to capture this families images. I think the lofty clouds in the back ground add an interesting back drop to an already perfect setting.

It was lovely to get a shot of Mum & Dad together for the girls as well. When they came in and viewed their imagines, Mum & Dad mentioned that they had not had a lovely portait together since their wedding.

Hope you enjoy these images and take a little time to think how we could capture YOUR beautiful family.

It is always very special when the next generation comes along. Janine, a very proud Mother and Grandmother wanted some very special images of her beautiful Daughter and her sweet little Granddaughter. Natural, beautiful shots. We photographed them on Shoal Bay Beach with Tomaree Headland in the background.

Janine decided to invest in a stunning framed canvas made of her favourite image to hang in her home.

We look forward to doing another shoot in a couple of years. It is always lovely to have portraits done every year or two just to look back and see how much the little ones have grown. I’m sure you would agree that time just ticks by, and before we know it they are all grown up !

Congratulations goes to our very special winner of the Salamander Photo Center Competition, Rebbecca Hughes !!! Her family was the lucky in-store winners for May. She has won a prize worth $1330 which includes a beautiful Large Framed Canvas of her favourite image of the day.

Rebbecca was thrilled when I phoned her with the news that she had won. She has four beautiful children that we had a ball photographing.  I asked Rebbecca how the shoot went and she was amazed, ” A couple of the kids had the sniffles, there had been a little rain but everyone had a great time but more importantly I was stunned at how beautiful the images had turned out”

Rebbecca’s beautiful canvas will take pride of place in-store at Salamander Photo Center (Fuji – next to Mitre10 Hardware), So drop in and have a look, Adrian and his wonderful team are only too happy to help you with printing your own images or buying a special frame or album.

We had a record breaking month at Capture Imaging Studio in June. Even with the start of winter upon us, and three wet weekends in a row, we still managed to be booked out!!!

We have our June Winner too, so keep your eyes posted on our blogs.

Chris and Tori decided to have their lifestyle portrait shoot on zenith beach near shoal bay. On the day of the shoot we managed to capture some stunning images of a very close & loving family. Recently I interviewed them in their home and I have put together a short 1 minute movie with Chris and Tori explaining their experience. Thanks guys for being so open with me, and letting us into your lives. More images below….love the shot of Chris chasing the kids, such fear in their faces;)
