I captured your sweet dreams as your proud Mummy looked on with tears of happiness in her eyes…….

I first met Carla and Ricardo when they came to my studio for their beautiful maternity portraits that you can see here.  It was wonderful get to know them as a couple and be a part of the anticipation of the birth of their first child.   A few weeks later their welcomed a gorgeous baby girl, Mercedes Isabella,  into the world.  Mercedes is one very loved little girl with parents and grandparents who absolutely adore her.  She has also been blessed with her parent’s good looks and has the cutest little swirl of hair at the top of her forehead.  Here are some of her newborn portraits……

As 2011 draws to a close, I am reflecting on what an amazing year this has been for my business.  It has certainly been the busiest year for me yet and November and December proved to be crazy!  I am happy to say that I have loved every minute of it!  The wonderful people I have met, the tears of joy from clients as they see their portraits for the first time and the heartfelt thank you messages clients have sent me remind me everyday why I do what I do.  To touch people’s hearts through photography.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my clients and everyone that supports my business by following my blog and facebook business page.  I wish you all health & happiness and a wonderful 2012.

I will leave you with some portraits of beautiful baby Isla……

I recently had the pleasure of taking gorgeous baby Agastya’s very first portraits.  Agastya came to his session with his parents and his Grandmother who is visiting from India.  He also has other grandparents travelling over from India just to meet him.  He is certainly one very loved and adored little boy!

I am very busy working behind the scenes getting everyone’s orders finalised before Christmas, which is approaching very quickly!  For all my Christmas mini session clients, I will be sending your orders to your door with my courier late this week.

I wanted to share another one of my Christmas mini sessions, how cute is this family?

I thought I would share some images from one of my Christmas mini sessions.  This is the first time I have offered mini sessions and I have to say they were a resounding success!  I am considering doing another round of mini sessions, perhaps in Autumn next year.  Spaces will be limited so I am starting a wait list for anyone who is interested in a mini session and I will be sending the details to those on the list first.  Please email at info@amandaayling.com.au if you would like to be added to the list.

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of photographing the Walker family and what a gorgeous family they are!

I would like to share some gorgeous images from a recent studio maternity photography session.  This couple are such beautiful, amazingly lovely people to have as clients and I can tell they are also going to be amazing, loving parents.  I would like to thank them for allowing me to share these images on my blog.   I am so looking forward to their newborn session when they welcome their much anticipated baby girl next month….

New life, so beautiful, so precious……

Have you checked out Little One Baby Magazine?  It is just gorgeous – filled with beautiful ideas for decorating your baby’s nursery, hosting a fabulous baby shower or child’s birthday party and dressing your children in style! I was asked to photograph a very special family for a feature in their latest edition titled “My Little Miracle”.  You can read about miracle Mum, Tuyen, who fell pregnant with adorable baby Alexandria-Mai against all medical odds after a battle with lymphoma on page 38.

Gorgeous, sweet, perfect Lily….the world is at your feet and your parent’s love surrounds you…..

Kate & Matt, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your beautiful baby girl.
