Katie Finn Photography - Update

2008-10-09T16:16:00.007+10:00

Hey All,

Yes, I am still alive :)

I've had a few people calling or email me asking me why I haven't posted for a while, so I thought I should update everyone on what's been happening. (It's nice to know people care :)

Matthew and I have just recently started a new business.... Shadowplay Photography and Video, it's a boutique wedding photography and video studio. The Shadowplay Photography and Video website is: www.shadowplay.com.au - make sure you check it out and leave a few comments on the blog.

That's my excuse for being rather slack in updating the Katie Finn Photography blog. Sorry to those who have been checking my blog regularly only to be disappointed that I haven't updated it.

Katie Finn Photography is still going strong and I am planning to keep growing the business. The launch of Shadowplay Photography and Video won't effect Katie Finn Photography at all - it just means I'll occasionally be shooting people above 5 years old now :)

Thanks again to those who have been keeping tabs on me - I will be launching a new Katie Finn Photography blog in the next few weeks. I'm really really really excited about getting a new blog up and going - so make sure you check back soon to see if it's up!

Thanks,

Katie.

(P.S. Matt said to add a photo to make this post more interesting .... so here's a photo of a pelican I took recently at the Sunshine Coast!)

Baby Lucas

2008-09-06T16:18:00.003+10:00

I recently photographed this gorgeous little bub, Lucas.

Congratulations Belinda and Mick..... Lucas is super doopa cute :)

Ava Newborn

2008-08-22T11:49:00.003+10:00

Congratulations Hollie and Matt!

Hollie recently came in with husband Matt to get some maternity shots done (you can see them HERE), they then returned a few weeks later with little Ava - and I must say... she is pretty gorgeous!

Here are some of my favourite shots. I can't believe how strong her neck is for such a little bub.

It's that time again ... Kindy Time!

2008-08-21T13:01:00.007+10:00

Some people have noticed that my blog has slowed down a bit lately. Part of the reason is because I have been editing 90 'kindy kid' photos!

I can't believe a year has passed already since I last went out to Highfields and District Kindergarten.

Thanks again to the teachers for being some lovely and helpful. I had heaps of fun photographing all the kids.

There were some familiar faces in the Possum and Wombat groups...

My gorgeous boys... Sam (you can see his family photos HERE) and Jack (you can see his family photos HERE) who both have had family photo sessions with me. They are both as cute (and polite) as ever!

And of course - Their teachers...

The Lost Beanie....

2008-08-16T14:35:00.008+10:00

This funky little beanie has lost it's owner and has been sitting on my desk for a while...

Just wondering if anyone wants to claim it :)

Colour: Grey
Size: M
Brand: Pumpkin Patch

If it's yours - give me a call or shoot me an email..... before he/she grows out of it.

UPDATE: The beanie has now been claimed!

"Hooray! I have been looking everywhere for that! You've made my day! - Sarah"

Sophia

Katie Featured on Jessica Claire's Website!

2008-08-13T10:26:00.003+10:00

Ok … for those who don’t know, Jessica Claire is like one of the awesomest wedding photographers around - and she also makes the Shootsac, a fashionable lens bag for photographers.

Matt (my gorgeous husband) recently bought me a Shootsac as a gift.

I loved my Shootsac so much that we made a little promo video for it … just for fun! We sent it to Jessica and yesterday she featured it on her website! How exciting!! Thanks Jessica!

Here’s the link to it on Jessica’s site - http://jessicaclaire.net/ and here’s the video if you want to watch it here:

Rosie Maternity

2008-08-08T12:02:00.009+10:00

While Sophia was being fed and getting ready for her photo session, I had fun photographing little Bryn outside in the alley way.

I will post some photos of baby Sophia in the next few days :)

My Family: Libby Grace Update

2008-07-12T11:02:00.006+10:00

My cousin Lauren gave birth to Libby Grace in May earlier this year (you can view the photos here). Libby is now 9 weeks old.

At 4 weeks Lauren rang and told me that Libby was starting to smile. I thought these smiles may have been 'wind' smiles - but I was wrong! This photo is of Libby at 8 weeks... I took it when they came up to visit last week. I can't believe it! What a smile! It's unbelievable. I have never come across a baby who has smiled and gigged so early. It's really great :)

Funny Kids.

2008-07-12T10:48:00.011+10:00

I get emails from many of my clients - just keeping in touch and sending through photo updates... but when Erica (mother of Ellie and Luka) sent me through this... it was too good not to share :)

ENJOY:

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?'

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4 ) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what well happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?'

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt .' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Chloe Newborn

2008-07-08T17:52:00.003+10:00

Melissa (post below) gave birth to little Chloe Ella on Monday 30th of June.

Chloe is a gorgeous little girl - she slept like a log through the whole shoot (which made her very easy to photograph).

Melissa Maternity

2008-07-08T17:34:00.004+10:00

Melissa booked in with me for a maternity session. She had the most perfect tummy of any pregnant lady I've ever photographed! Not a stretch mark on it!

Hendrix

2008-07-04T09:52:00.006+10:00

Hendrix is now 10 months old! Time sure does fly!

Hendrix has grown into such a gorgeous little boy. He has a really easy going personality just likes his Mum and Dad :)

If you want to see his newborn shots you can check them out HERE.

Shannon

2008-07-04T09:36:00.006+10:00

Shannon (below) is my cousin Dave's 'little man'. He was born on March 4 (which is my Mum's birthday). As I mentioned in an earlier post (HERE) - Shannon had a bit of a rough start to life, having to have open heart surgery before he was even a week old.

Shannon is now doing really well. He is a happy little boy with a great smile :)

I will be photographing Shannon next week, and this reminded me that I never posted his newborn shots... so here they are!

Cate Newborn

2008-07-03T16:12:00.004+10:00

Timothy

2008-07-03T15:50:00.008+10:00

I photographed little Timothy over a year ago now. It was really exciting to photograph him again! He has grown up so much and is still super cute!

Andrew is one of the photographers that I share studio space with, and I've know Letoya for years.

It's a very exciting time for them right now.

Sarah Maternity

2008-06-17T17:44:00.005+10:00

Sarah came in yesterday morning with husband Nathan and their daugther Zoe to get some maternity photos done.

The last thing Sarah said to me as she walked out the door was 'Well, that's good... I can have the baby now...'.

Last night I got the following text message: "It's a girl! At 8.12pm we welcomed our little baby, Ikaia Hope Wessling into the world & into our family."

Lucky we got the photos done in time! I can't wait to meet little Ikaia :)

Last year I shot Bruce and Perin's wedding and little Bryn was one of the first kids I photographed when I first started Katie Finn Photography a few years back.

Now, baby number 2 is on the way and Perin has come back to Toowoomba to get some maternity shots done.

Here is my favourite shot:

Emily and Clair

2008-05-21T12:34:00.002+10:00

Here is a sneak peek from a shoot with Emily and baby sister Clair. Emily is fair with blonde hair and blue eyes, and baby Clair has dark hair and deep brown eyes. Aren't genetics fascinating?

2008-05-21T12:29:00.004+10:00

Here are some photos of the Osborne Family. My first session with the Osborne Family got rained out so we rescheduled our shoot for the next week. Little Lilly was a joy to photograph.

Ella

2008-05-12T10:36:00.012+10:00

I photographed little Ella when she was only a few days old. She was such a gorgeous newborn - and she had CRAZY hair.

One year later she is even more gorgeous! She has grown into such a beautiful little girl :) I love seeing children grow and change. This is one of the reasons I'm passionate about capturing as many stages of a child's growth as possible.

Libby Grace

2008-05-08T10:31:00.008+10:00

These aren't 'professional' photos by any means, but I really wanted to share them.

Lauren - my beautiful cousin, after 3 days of labor gave birth to little Libby Grace.

Libby was named after our great-grandmother, so that's really special.

She is perfect, and I am in love :)

She was born at 12.20pm Tuesday (May 7th), and I got to meet her at 6.30pm - so she was only a few hours old! And of course I had to take a few photos....

You can see Lauren and Scott's maternity shots HERE.

Lauren and Scott

2008-04-24T13:06:00.007+10:00

Lauren and Scott are due on the 3rd of May. Lauren didn't want traditional studio shots - so we went outdoors and tried something new. The light was just perfect to really show off her bump :)

Kelly and Annamieke

2008-04-21T11:37:00.002+10:00

Kelly and her daughter Annamieke had photos taken as a special present for Dad. Kelly is pregnant and unfortunately Dad has missed out on a lot of the pregnancy because he has been posted overseas in the army. So, within the next few weeks Annamieke will have a little brother or sister!

Oliva and William

2008-04-09T13:50:00.004+10:00

ACOCP - Australian Charity of Child Photographers

2008-02-02T14:38:00.000+10:00

I'm excited to announce that Katie Finn Photography is now a part of the Australian Charity of Child Photographers.

The ACOCP is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses.

In difficult times parents do not always consider the importance of documenting their little moments and closeness of family until those moments have passed. The ACOCP is dedicated to providing this gift to your families in a caring, compassionate and heartfelt manner. We understand that time is crucial in some cases which is why our state coordinators are able to take your call 24/7.

If you know of any families who would benefit from ACOCP services please let them know about ACOCP. Their website is http://www.acocp.org.au/pages/index.html

Storms

2007-10-31T13:44:00.001+10:00

I thought I'd share some photos with you that I took the other night.

They were shot from the top of Price Henry Drive.

One of them was on the front page of the paper yesterday :)

Ducks

2007-10-29T14:44:00.000+10:00

The National Water Week photo competition winners were announced last week.

My photo "Ducks Need Water Too" won 2nd prize in the Open Section!

It was the first competition I've ever entered, so maybe I should enter more competitions :)

Chloe

We had heaps of fun.

Welcome to little Ayva! Mum, Dad and big sister Ryella made a special trip down from Townsville with Ayva to get her newborn shots done. Here are a few.

Couldn't forget Ryella!

Halayna - 3 months

2007-10-25T15:22:00.000+10:00

Here is a photo of little Halayna at her 3 months shoot.... I just love it! I can't wait to put this one on my wall!

Moving

2007-10-19T13:09:00.000+10:00

Hi everybody,

Just a quick update.

We are currently moving house, so everything is a little crazy at the moment.

I promise I will update my blog soon :)

Katie

Zoe and Zara

2007-10-08T16:26:00.000+10:00

I photographed twins Zoe and Zara at Queens Park.

I love the light in these photos...

Baby Photos

2007-10-04T08:39:00.000+10:00

Funny... I was downloading the other day and I found a card that I obviously hadn't used for a while... it had photos of my cat Gucci when she was a kitten still on it ( from nearly 2 years ago now) - I thought they were so cute I'd share them with you.

I can't show you 'baby photos' of one and not the other... so here are some pics of Hugo as a kitten too. I wouldn't want him to feel left out ;)

Jacob and Chelsea

2007-10-01T08:44:00.001+10:00

I photographed 'big kids' Jacob and Chelsea at Picnic Point.

This is one of my favourite shots... it makes me smile :)

Funky Formal Photos

2007-09-18T11:28:00.000+10:00

It's nearly formal time and I'm already getting requests to do 'funky formal photos'.

Interested in getting some super hot formal photos? Get in quick - spaces are filling up fast!

Yes, gift vouchers are available - what a great graduation present!

Wedding Invitations

2007-09-17T12:58:00.000+10:00

Matt and I got married Dec 3 2005.

Our wedding invitations were a bit different, so I thought I'd share them with you :)

We had so much fun making them!

Halayna

2007-09-16T10:45:00.000+10:00

This is Halayna.

Look at her hair!

I have never had a newborn with thick blonde hair before! Usually if babies are born with hair it's dark brown or black, not blonde.

Yes, I can't wait to photograph Halayna as she grows :)

Daniel Tridiv

2007-09-14T08:52:00.000+10:00

Welcome to Daniel Tridiv. Isn't he just gorgeous?

This is possibly my most favourite newborn shot yet.

He just looks so perfect! Like a little angel :)

The Cheetham Family

2007-09-13T11:05:00.000+10:00

A while back I photographed the Cheetham family.

Here is a little video of their photo session :)

And here are some photos from their session:

"Katie really captured the personality of each member of our family. We had such a fun time and we can't wait to get Katie to photograph us again!" - Sharlene Cheetham.

Aidan and Harry

2007-09-10T18:54:00.000+10:00

I really enjoyed photographing brothers Aidan and Harry.

We photographed Harry in Queens Park, then found a more 'grungy' location to photograph Aidan.

Here are some of my faves from this session.

P.S. It's ok Mum... I did get some photos of Aidan smiling :)

Little Harry was a heap of fun, I love his expression in the right hand photo.

More Twins!

2007-09-10T09:28:00.000+10:00

I have just finished the photos of twins Harrison and Alana.

Here are a few of my favourite shots.

They are so cute! I can't wait to photograph them as they get older :)

Alana's hand looks so tiny holding onto Dad's finger.

Oh... I had to share this one! It's classic!
Look at that bottom lip!
Makes me smile every time :)

Elena May

2007-09-06T17:16:00.000+10:00

Welcome to little Elena May!

Carly booked in to have her maternity shots done with me in June.

Little Elena has now arrived and Mum and Dad have brought her in to get her newborn shots done.

One of Carly's maternity shots...

Safe in Dad's arms....

Elena is going to get A LOT of kisses!

Show and Tell...

2007-09-06T12:05:00.000+10:00

I take soooo many photos (of so many different things) and I can't post all of them, so I thought I'd just pick a few favorites every now and again to show you.

#1 - Bruce and Perin's Wedding
I am currently doing up a wedding album for Bruce and Perin and this is a shot that I have fallen in love with.

Bruce and Perin got married on the 28th of April this year at the Gold Coast. It was a beautiful overcast day which made for some very stunning photos.

I think this photo will have to be at least a 20x30" print on their wall!

#2 - Ducks
I took this photo a few months ago just took for fun. Ducks really aren't my favourite animal but it's a nice photo.

A few people have asked if they can have a print of it to put on their wall, so that's nice :)

#3 - Stu Larsen - Album Launch
Stu Larsen's CD launch was held at the Empire Theatre Chapel a few months back. This shot has a very 'behind the scenes' vibe that I like.

Flowers

2007-09-05T17:53:00.000+10:00

Matty bought me some flowers - aren't they pretty? So pretty I thought I'd share them with you :)

Matt and I have worked together since we were married (nearly 2 years ago) ... and with Matt now working down at his new office - it feels very strange.

So that's why he bought me the flowers - just to cheer me up. Isn't he sweet :)

If you are in the neighborhood pop in and visit me so I don't get lonely!
