Some of you may have been wondering what I’ve been up to these days with not many blog posts over the past few months. Well, the start of 2010 has seen our family make the move to Canberra, following hubby in his new job. We have finally managed to conquer the mountain of boxes to achieve a nice tidy house again, much to my relief.
And some great news – we’re expecting our family to expand in 2010!! That’s right, I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant; the baby is due on 12th June. 
We are all very excited, especially Jessica who is really looking forward to being a big sister.
I am offering portrait services in Canberra on a limited first-come, first-served basis in 2010. I will not be photographing at all during the months of May, June and July, so if you have a special event that you need portraits as gifts, please factor this into your planning.
And because I don’t like having a blog post without photos, here’s some of my favourite images from 2009:

This week, I had the great privilege of photographing my favourite model (Jessica!) for the wonderful children’s boutique, Charlipop Kids World. In these images, Jessica is wearing a beautiful dress by the designer “Two Belles”. It’s so light and summery, full of girly colours and ruffles. It’s also highly practical, with adjustable shoulder straps and sash tie at the back. I’m sure Jess will get two summers wear out of this one.
Pop over to the Charlipop website and have a look at their gorgeous summer range. You won’t be disappointed (and be sure to tell them I sent you!).

Some photographers I’ve met say that outdoor portraits are boring. When I photograph a girl like Samm, I have to whole heartedly disagree – her portraits are anything but boring!! We wanted to create a juxtaposition between the high fashion clothing and bushland setting. Samm was such a good sport, up for anything, and happy to trapse up and down what felt like a million stairs in the heat. Many thanks to my assistant Renee for helping to lug the gear!

In an effort to improve my Google rankings, I’ve become a member of Technorati. For the uninitiated (like me, 5 min ago), Technorati is a free online blog directory. This post quotes my code so I can try to be included with the popular kids.
On magazine racks now, the latest Indigo (magazine for tween girls) features an article by yours truly! Check it out at your local library, school or newsagent.
After some pretty major problems with my domain registration, I’m back online!! Unfortunately the data from my old site wasn’t able to transfer over, so I’m starting this blog from scratch. The good news is that I’ve now found a fantastic web host who are extremely helpful so everything should be more stable from now on. If anyone needs a new web host, contact www.unlimited-space.com and use “rebeccao“ as your referral code. You’ll get a 50% mates rates discount off your hosting! They have been so amazingly accomodating in helping me sort through the issues from my previous provider. I highly recommend them to everyone.
I’ve been populating the blog with a few images from previous sessions, so hopefully it doesn’t look so new. Please feel free to comment - I’d love to hear from you. The subscribe option via e-mail and RSS should be working now too (for those who noticed that it wasn’t working on the old site).
It’s great to be back online!
I love it when clients want something a little different from the usual. A family with grown up kids calls for portraits with a modern twist. Thanks for being good sports and letting us experiment, guys! I hope you enjoy the portraits as much as we enjoyed creating them!
The bond between cousins is so strong. When the time came for my sister B and her daughter C to move interstate, we knew it would be tough to seperate the two girls who are practically sisters. So we took them to Build-A-Bear in Penrith to create special animals to hug when they are feeling lonely. Goodbye B&C!! We’ll miss having you around!
I am blessed with the most wonderful families as clients. We had an amazing time together by the banks of the river. We climbed trees, played hide and seek, told puppet stories, and took a few portraits along the way too!
