Welcome Baby Lucy | Newborn Photography Hills District
'its 3 am and they're all asleep,
no one is here to see, as we rock slowly back and forth
your looking right back at me.
Your little hand is feather light reaching up to my chin,
I hold your tiny body in my arms
as I stroke your baby skin.
This little poem resonates so much with new parents. Little Baby Lucy's newborn session was so peaceful as we watched new mama Nicole gush over her new little darling. All resting at home, feed, change sleep repeat. Something so beautiful about the first born, who gets to soak up all the attention. Life seems pretty bliss in the Carpinato household.
Moments That Matter | June
This month my dear Abby turned 6! It has been a big year full of firsts and big milestones. This year has been a new transition into sisterhood, starting Kindy and taking her ballet to the next level. I really wanted to make her feel special this year by organising Abby and her friends to have a pony party in celebration of her 6th birthday. Unfortunately we had to cancel due the incredible freak storm that hit and affected so many families in Sydney. Despite the major disappointment Abby still had an amazing time with her friends in an indoor play centre. Every year on all our birthdays, we get together at my mothers and have a big family dinner. Usually something simple like pizza and cake. Its something I like doing and has become a simple family tradition.

Moments That Matter | May
This month I decided to take some self portraits with Dante and experiment with some shadows. The moments that matter to me this month are about the fact I am really enjoying our time alone at home. He is nearly 6 months old now and he seems to be growing at a super fast pace. I have never been so busy in my life with work and I am feeling the mummy guilt set in. I feel like he was born yesterday and already he is growing into this little personality, wanting to be on the move so so badly. Slow down my baby, don't be so eager to grow so quickly. I may blink and miss something.

Moments that Matter | Lifestyle Circle
This post is part of a new blog circle I'm in with some amazing artists called "Moments that Matter". At the bottom of this post, please click on the link to see what also matters to Bec Stewart this month.
For me the moments that matter right now are the moments happening at home. My first born, Abby has survived her first term at Kindy. I am missing having her around so I am really appreciating having her home for the holidays. I get to see her play in the backyard with her friends and family and she is enjoying spending time with her baby brother.

Adam + Eliza's Gender Reveal | Penrith
Eliza and I are cousins. She was my first Best Friend. Cousins have a special bond. we are like Sisters that don't want to kill each other. ( all though sometimes we came close). Eliza and Adam asked family to gather round for the afternoon over a good old fashioned BBQ to find out and celebrate the gender of their unborn baby. It was so special today, check out their reaction when they find out they are having a boy or a girl.

Let Kids be Kids | Sydney Family Photography
Let Kids be Kids. While editing these photos from after an afternoon playing out in the backyard. Abby looked over my shoulder. She scrunched up her nose and said she looks like a boy.
I replied ' What makes you think that?'
She observed ' I have bruises on my legs, no clothes on and I'm all dirty like a boy.'
I looked at her and thought hard.. ' You know who I think you look like?'
'who?' giving me a puzzled look.
I smiled and replied ' Abby.'
Don't get me wrong, Abby loves her horses, dress ups and adornments of pink terrible things. But she also loves to play outside, wrestle with the dogs or her mates. Isn't afraid to get dirty and is very comfortable with her body.
These stereotypical assumptions that girls like pretty things and boys like to be grubby not only start to define how children identify themselves. They are offensive to both genders.

A Day With The Griffiths | Family Photography Sydney
I honestly enjoyed every second of this shoot. The Griffiths not only lived in such a picturesque area of Sydney they were just genuinely fun people. The typical easy going, Australian sarcasm that filled this session with laughter just made my day. The purpose of my shoot, was Jane. Jane wanted an extended family shoot as her son Jacob and his girlfriend Lindsay were off to her homeland Canada. A new chapter in their life adventure. Jane especially wanted to capture the family's connection with grandson Sebastion. Not hard to see this little heartbreaker stole the show. It was a pleasure getting to know such a fun family.
