Newborn Sweetness

We haven't had a newborn in the studio for a little while, let alone a little girl.  Meet this small package, meet Lexie.......



Snug as a bug in a rug.  A faint smile, I wonder what you are dreaming about?  Even though the sleeps were short lived, Lexie slept for only a few minutes at a time, but we managed to get some beautiful shots.

And yes, that is a baby, teeny, tiny, tiara!  Oh my how cute!

You are in good hands Miss Lexie, we can tell buy the love that oozed from your Mum and Dad!  Enjoy each and every moment, the time will fly by.

P.S - Sarah's little bub is still all warm and cozy inside.  We await Baby Bowen's arrival with excitement!

Tekano and Miriam

All rugged up on a Sunday morning, Tekano and Miriam joined us at The Willow's in Melton.  Sarah and I have both been there before, but usually for a function.  It was nice to take a walk around and soak in the history of these old buildings.

You probably can't tell from this post, but both Tekano and Miriam both took a little bit of time to warm up.  Once we started exploring though, they came into their own.

We loved the old machinery shed that housed this old red tractor! 

Tekano became an awesome model!  We would turn around and he would have found himself a great backdrop and a new pose.  He would even gaze off into the distance, then turn and look at us.....it was seriously like he had done this before, like it was second nature to him.

Outside the old Homstead, there was an old water pump.  They could have played here for ages!  And then the sun began to shine.

Michelle, thanks for bringing the kids down for a play and a run!  We hope you enjoy your images which will be in your personal gallery soon.

As for us, we love this location and will definately be using it again in the future.  If you are interested in one day coming here with us for a wander, contact us on info@sarahbellestudio.com

Siblings (A Winter Petite Session)

Written by Belle...
A very small Preview of a Winter Petite Session from the weekend at Melton's Historical Willows.  The sun was shining, the wind whipped up and we had so much fun exploring.  Meet Tekano and his sister Miriam...................

More to come later in the week of these two special kids!

(Black and White has been Belle's passion, colour came into her world last year, but black & white is sneaking it's way back in......which do you prefer, colour, b&w or a mix of both?)

Sarah and Baby Bowen (36.5 weeks)

Written by Sarah....

Hello in there baby...

I can't wait to meet you....

I wonder what you will be like...

Will you be a boy or a girl? Will you have lots of hair (if the myth about heartburn is anything to go by then I think the answer will be yes!)
Will you have your Dad's nose? (I hope so!) and my taste in music? (I hope so!)

Not matter what you are like I know I will love you more than anything in the world...I already do.
I can't wait to meet you xx

(We are hoping to squeeze in a second maternity shoot in the studio before Baby Bowen arrives so stay tuned for hopefully more pics to come!)

Sarah's Maternity Shoot Sneak Peak....

Stay tuned for more to come.....

Our first ever Winter Special!!!

We are so excited to be launching our first ever Winter Special!  We are even more excited about the location which is simply charming, and rain, hail or shine will accomodate us.  Feel free to share this Special with family and friends, and remember, places are limited.

Winter...

Written by Belle.....
even though we have already had quite a few chilly days in good old Melbourne, officially Winter is here.  Yesterday however was a beautiful day, clear skies, sun shining....we even ventured out for a nice walk and went to the park.

Today though, winter is definitely here!  With a frosty morning, a windy night, followed by ominous grey skies....Phoebe even asked me "why is it still dark when it is day time?" it is upon us today.

Times like these, I look for things to brighten my days, my home and to boost my motivation and mood - lets face it, Winter has a way of bringing a grey cloud over everyone.  Michael bought home beautiful flowers the other night, which opened this morning.  I don't get flowers any more off him, they are always for Phoebe!  God bless her though, she cries to no end when they whither and die and I have to throw them out....she just doesn't understand why.

We have been a little quiet around these parts the last couple of week, which usually means lots of things are going on behind the scenes, our cogs are always turning....and our lives outside the business are busy too (Sarah's baby is due to arrive in 2 months, where did the time go?!).  Everyone is busy busy at the moment, we hope you all take time to take a breather on our upcoming long weekend, like we will be!
