Duke's first birthday party was themed beautifully by his clever Mummy in a woodlands theme, which worked perfectly with the background of The Camperdown Commons. Duke's little Peter Rabbit outfit, plus the woodland critters were very cute. They also hired some soft play euipqment and ball pit which were set up in the courtyard and all the toddlers enjoyed playing in there.

Duke is a very lucky boys, first of the next generation for both sides of the family he is doted on my aunts, grand parents and great grandparents, which created a loving atmosphere for the party. Plus as you can see he REALLY enjoyed eating his birthday cake, love the facial expressions and the tongue!

Thanks for inviting me to capture your memories of this lovely birthday party Kristyl & Ben :-)

We have been very priviledged to capture a number of celebrations for this family, and little Addison's christening was a lovely as the rest. A beautiful autumn day with the ceremony held at Kings School Chapel, where Addison enjoyed all the attention the only process she didn't like was having the water dabbed on her head.... she pushed the ministers hand away.

After the ceremony everyone headed to Biviano's in Dural for the afternoon where Addison's mother had created a beautiful dessert buffet in rich creams and golds.... definitely looked to good to eat!

Thank you for inviting us to capture this event for you, as always a pleasure to work with the Ragg family x

This is an 11 year old boys DREAM birthday party, I mean who would want a Jurassic World themed party complete with life size dinosaurs peering at you from every vantage point, blow up dinosaurs in the pool, a water slide, fabulous themed lolly bar and food.

The day started with showers and overcast which went perfectly with the theme of Jurassic World in the jungle and didn't deter the kids who went straight into the pool and had a ball. Then fabulous food and onto the home cinema for a viewing of Jurassic World the movie before cake and back to the pool as the sun had come out.

The whole event was amazingly themed by Zev's gorgeous Mum and the team at www.CateringByDesign.com.au Karin is great and the food was fabulous.

On request from the client, for privacy reasons, I can't show photos with any of the kids but thought you'd like to see the fab theming!

Nicholas' Mum is a very old friend of mine, so I was honoured when she asked me to photograph his Christening & 1st Birthday Party!

The celebration was being held at the family home, so we arranged for me to arrive early to get a few family portraits before the guests started arriving, always a good idea. Nicholas is the smiliest 1 year old I know so he was easy, his big brother on the other hand was not so keen on the camera.... but very cheeky! And as you can see they are both besotted with their Grandma.

Then the party began with lots of family and friends around to help celebrate, and a lovely naming ceremony carried out by one of our favourite celebrants Elaine Searle, held on the deck with the lovely afternoon sun in the background.

A beautiful day, thanks for inviting me to "Capture Your Memories" guys x

Last weekend there was a very special celebration at our childrens preschool. The director of the preschool known by all as "Janie Pops" is retiring for a sea change, she has been at the KU Killarney Heights preschool for 12 years. However, she has worked for KU for much longer than that, having been a student teacher at KU Mosman when I was there are a little girl myself!

Janie Pops is part of the framework of the Killarney Heights community, which is very close knit, so as you can see there was a huge number of families who came to wish her well. One her request it was an afternoon tea with chicken sandwiches and champagne, some beautiful speeches, a special visit from our local clown "Sparkles" aka Tony, and lots of fun for all.

I arrived late just after the speeches had started, as I was coming from photographing a Christening that morning, and was a little emcumbered with a sick child so couldn't move around at will like I usually would. However, the below show the afternoon with the large crowd and atmosphere as a memory for Janie Pops of a special farewell :-)

Baby Angelina & Tristan are very lucky cousins they have a very loving extended family, and as their parents were sisters marrying brothers they have the same extended family! Which makes for a great opportunity to share a christening and celebration...

Their christening was held at Our Lady of Lebanon in Harris Park, with one of their aunts as Godmother and their parents exchanging the duties for each child..... I tell you the priest got a little confused between parents and godparents! Then there was a celebratory lunch at Concerto Restaurant in Homebush Bay, where the adults were entertained with a fabulous banquet, and the kids with a tumble town, and fairy facepainting and games.

As you can see it was a beautiful day, and such a loving, fun family to be a part of x

Alicia is a very lucky girl with lots of loving family and friends around to help her celebrate her baptism day.

Isn't Gabi just the luckiest little girl, her Mum put in lots of effort to give her the dream 3 year old birthday party.... a Fairy Princess Party!

On arrival the table was set with a huge array of pink cakes and lollies, plus princess dolls and ornaments. Then Fairy Star, from http://www.fairycrystal.com.au, arrived to entertain all the children with magic spells & pixie dust, dancing, pass the parcel, drawing, limbo and face painting. Which of course all  the children at the party just loved.... and the adults.

Then the lucky birthday princess enjoyed blowing out the candles on her special pink princess birthday cake....

Thanks for letting me capture your memories, with party photography,  of a fun birthday party Gabi!

What an amazing 1st Birthday Party this was for the dear little Julieanne Ysabella. Held in the War Memorial Hall in Hornsby, the hall was decked out with a Mad Hatter's Tea Party for the children to have their fun and laughter, this had been excellently set up and themed by the talented 'www.missteaparty.com' girls.

There were great party games for the children to enjoy, including pass-the-parcel, egg-and-spoon race, face painting, parachute fun, bubble blowing and plenty of laughs to be had in the dressing up in all the crazy hats. The guests were treated to an extravagant pig roast and sumptuous lunch, as the children enjoyed the attentions and entertainment of Alice and The Queen of Hearts, who were attending to their needs. I fully enjoyed my time at the party and capturing these happy moments for the family to treasure. The Lolly Bar was one of the many highlights of the day (as you can see from the photos below) and there was plenty of revisits to this tremendous dessert! After the guests had been entertained by Alice and The Queen of Hearts, and had fed themselves on the tremendous food on offer, it was soon time to wish the birthday girl many happy returns and join the gathering for the cutting of the cake.

Julieanne's cake was exquisite and wonderfully in-keeping with the theme of the day, being a crazy hat design. After such a celebration, the birthday girl was so exhuasted that she was soon fast asleep and dreaming of the wonderful world of 'Wonderland'. A wonderful celebration and a party which will never be forgotten.

Many Happy Returns Julieanne - I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this special day.

Thought we'd quickly share with you some of the theming for our daughter's 2nd birthday party..... Her favourite book is the Gruffalo, plus the DVD so we themed it as "Tea with a Gruffalo"

"What's a gruffalo, why didn't you know?"

"His eyes are orange; his tongue is black; he has purple prickles all over his back....."

What a magical day for this little princess. Her 3rd birthday party was a princess themed party and her Mum (who is very talented clearly) went to great lengths to ensure it was the perfect day. I just loved it, all the pink, fairy wings, princess crowns, castle cake, fair dust, face painting, drawing and dancing.

You'll see the only way to do justice to this party in photography was to capture the detail.....

Jamie's 21st birthday party is certainly one that will be remembered as great fun by all, if these photos are anything to go by! Justin had a lot of fun capturing the night and as usual fitted into the crowd - so much so that the client said many people thought he was a family friend....

The party was held at Hilton Sydney and was themed with purple and orange which looks stunning in the photographs. All the guests were dressed to impress in black tie for a great night out. The evening held speeches, slideshows, a pipe band and highland dancers in acknowledgement of Jamie's heritage, and lots of dancing on the dance floor. Please enjoy looking back on the night through these photos......

Wazza'a 30th was a big party and he wanted some great photos to capture the memories. He was so lovely in the lead up and really excited, both Justin and I got excited along with him. He had arranged for 30 of his friends to join him at Strike Bowl @ King St Wharf for a night of bowling and karaoke... with karaoke as the focus which you'll see below.

There was lots of fun had by all, and some great party photographs to remember the evening....
