The Good Gift Co |Holly |Tamworth Business photographer

I have known Holly & Ben ever since I shot their Hunter Valley wedding in 2014. Since then I have photographed the new additions of their boys Alfie & Huxley. So while I have been her Tamworth wedding & family photographer I had never been her Tamworth business photographer.

This shoot was a little different. Holly has always had a eye for design & has incredible style.

She started a little business called The Good Gift Co last year so it wasn’t a shock to me her business took off!

She has made her dream come true after having her two boys she wanted to run a small business from home whilst looking after her kids.

A little while ago I was chatting to Holly about pictures for her Instagram. She does all her own & they look incredible but for her to be in some of the photos it was a bit tricky. Hence where I came in being her Tamworth business photographer.

Please go checkout her website it is just exquisite, from her signature handbags, jewellery & things for the home…

So when I came back this time we organised a small shoot with a good friend of hers Kymmy. Kymmy has twin girls, so along with Holly & her two boys & Holly’s amazing styling we set about on a lifestyle shoot.

Of course in true toddler style one twin fell asleep in the car on the way there so wasn’t in any pics. We set up under an amazing spot under a peppercorn tree, got some fabulous shots but due to the dog eating the cheese platter, a few tired kids & a big black storm brewing in the background we decided to let Ben watch the kids, pack up our picnic & let us girls just play near the house with the storm clouds in the background & be close to the house for a quick get away & hopefully not get struck by lightning in the process!

I am so happy we did!!!! The storm clouds & light is just incredible. As we played on the dirt road out the front of her house in the long grass. The storm got darker & darker but the light got better and better too. Holly & Ben live at such an amazing spot just outside of Tamworth. They have incredible sunsets & incredible storms as you will see. Cant wait for you all to see this!

Thanks again Holly!

Simpson Family |Tamworth Family Portrait | The Pavillion, Tamworth

The Pavillion Function Centre Tamworth was the scene for a perfect family shoot of the Simpson family.

I first met Scott & Melissa years ago for their wedding back in February 2012. They had their ceremony & reception in the beautiful garden at The Pavillion. I still remember their day with a smile. Scott & Melissa had the best day with perfect weather, & surrounded by perfect family & friends.

So 7 years down the track I have photographed Scott & Melissa, their maternity shoot,newborn pics & now updated family pictures of their gorgeous little family of 4. They now have the gorgeous, very friendly & full-of-beans kids Willow & Jasper.

Melissa said she would always tell Willow her eldest daughter about the day her dad & mum got married as they drove past the The Pavillion function centre. Willow always wanted to go & visit as it always looked so beautiful & of course she believes with a beautiful garden there must be a lot of fairies that live there.

So last Sunday was the day to go explore, have family pics taken, Jasper with his digger & Willow in her princess dress ready to find some fairies

The light was just golden & so perfect.

I hope you love these pictures as much as me. What is there not to love a gorgeous family of four, two parents who truly love each other with two gorgeous kids with personality plus.

Cheers Karissa xx

Being in business for over 15 years as a photographer in the Tamworth area definitely has its perks. I get to meet amazing couples for their engagement shoots, then their wedding, & then the babies.

This is the case with Matt & Ellen. They have been married 9 years & three babies later I still love catching up & sharing/photographing in all their big moments in their life together.

In October last year I did their maternity/family portrait for baby number 3. I just adored this shoot. A family of five in the paddock at home. Kids & horses & an amazing sunset. So fast forward to nearly a year later baby number 3, Meg is nearly a year old.

Matt & Ellen always have a family shoot for every new member of the family. Matt & Ellen choose to not have a newborn shoot but when bub is a little older. They do this as you can see their little personality shine through. Whilst I love newborns shoots I agree & as you will see with these photos, Megs personality & her relationship with her brother & sister shines through.

I had such a beautiful time, as usual catching up with Rosie, Roy & little Meg. They are the most hilarious, down-to-earth, well mannered kids. Thanks Ellen & Matt for being such great parents & such great people.

cant wait till we meet again.

cheers Karissa

Leach Family | Family Portrait |Tamworth

Last week I caught up with Cath & Bart Leach for their family portrait out at their family home at Moore Creek.

I first met Cath & Bart back in 2013 for their wedding at Tangarratta. I just adored this wedding. Cath & Bart were one of the best couples I haveever photographed. Yes my type of couple. Funny, in-love, had great friends & family that were up for any photo. I remember their day fondly, I came away from that wedding with a sore mouth from laughing & smiling so much.

Bart & Caths Tangarratta Wedding 2013

Like many of my couples I keep in contact through facebook, & I love seeing their posts of their new babies & special things happening in their life. So when Cath contacted me saying they needed a family shoot I couldn’t wait.

Their kids Max, Molly & Sadie are just like Cath & Bart, cruisey, relaxed, friendly & very funny. SO I just loved every minute!!

I just adore your photos. Your family is just adorable You cant beat a family shoot at home. Everyone is relaxed, the fridge isn’t to far a way for a beer.

Good luck in choosing a favourite!!

Thanks again guys

cheers Karissa

Tamworth Natural Newborn Photography – Joel + Belinda & Roy

Newborn Photography Shoot

Many people choose their family photographer for newborns based on the type of photography they personally like.

Some couples love highly posed in studio where they can control the environment & they put their newborns in poses & props. Whilst I do love some of these  shoots its not really my style.

The style of newborn photography I like is where you are at home or outside. Where you hold your baby close in your arms & I get to see & feel the relationship & love you have for your new little one. I see you interacting, comforting & holding this precious gift close to your heart.

Your bub is fully clothed, wrapped & feeling very secure. This is when I feel you get the best photos of your new bub.

This style of shoot suited Joel & Belinda perfectly. They live on a gorgeous farm where they have gorgeous horses & amazing sunsets. The place where Roy will take his first steps, the place he will call home. The place where a families memories are made.

Thank you again Belinda & Joel for inviting me to photograph your precious new family. There is so many amazing pictures of you all. I had such a hard time choosing my favourites.

Cheers Karissa xxtamworthnewbornphotographer

 

Tamworth Realistic Family Photography -Emily & Campbell

Emily & Campbell Realistic photoshoot at home.

A few weeks back whilst in Australia I received message from Emily asking for a shoot. She seen I was back from Cambodia & knew she wanted a family shoot.

I met Emily & Campbell years ago when they were just engaged. They came to Uralla for a shoot & from that time I have photographed them & two of their newborn babies. I then left for Cambodia. Since that time they had 2 more gorgeous kids.
When Emily called me she said no more new babies but she wanted to capture the realities of having a family of 4 as well as capturing the kids in the home, all her children came home to after being born.
Emily & Campbell’s home is near Dungowan that has a hilltop view that overlooks a spectacular valley. It also has amazing sunsets from up there.
Following a crazy shoot in mum & dads bed which is what most families do on a lazy Sunday, down the stairs on the realities of trying to get everyone out the door but never on time, we headed out to the top of hills to also capture what living in the country with kids is like.

Designer clothes – That showed them as a family

When we ventured outside Emily & her family were dressed in Robyn Ru- Spunky Bruiser
I just adored catching up with Emily & Campbell again but also seeing how her kids have grown & their individual personalities.
Thanks again. I do hope we catchup again!
