The Starkey Family

June 14, 2009

Yesterday I had a lot of fun shooting the first FunKid shoot! When Amanda called me to say that she had one of my Gift Cards from FunKid I was so excited – I can’t wait for more people to get on board with these! If you want to know more about the Gift Cards you’ll have to go into the funkiest kids clothes store – FunKid in River St, Ballina :-)

So I met the Starkey family yesterday and we headed to Main Beach, Ballina for a bit of fun in the sand. It was such a beautiful day for it and these guys were absolute troopers – up for anything!

The whole family -

11mth old Alyssa – she turns one in a couple of weeks! How adorable is she -

Mum braved the waves and smelly log for this shot but Alyssa wasn’t quite sure what to think of the waves!

Cheeky -

Such a cutie!

I couldn’t believe that I got this shot I was cracking up so much when Alyssa turned and looked at me like this -

Look at the determination – one guess where she’s headed!

That’s right the water!

My favourite shot from the shoot -

All the posing took it’s toll on Alyssa she was beat by the time we finished up.

It was such a joy to shoot this easy-going family! All three of you made my job very easy!

Have a shoot just because we can! With the perfect weather on Monday I couldn’t resist grabbing my camera and a couple of friends and heading out for a bit of an impromptu shoot. Maggie came along – it’s always more fun to have a second shooter! And Shelly from the recent Twins shoot agreed to be our gorgeous model for the day.

We headed to a nearby cane field to start with -

This is one of my favourite photographs from the shoot but I just couldn’t decide which I liked better colour or b&w – what do you think?

One of Maggie’s gorgeous shots -

And then into Byron Bay for some more urban looking photos -

When you see this wall in it’s entirety it is incredible – very, very impressive!!

Thanks again Shelly for being an amazing model!!
