An Update

Kim — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:34:03 +0000

We’re proud to now be a happy family of 5!

We welcomed our newest baby on October 6th, 2009 - a beautiful boy, 4.10kg born at home with a wonderfully supportive and experienced Independent Midwife.

Here he is at 9 days old!

All 3 children

I’m currently enjoying some time with my darling baby and I’m not taking on any new clients. If you’d like to contact me during this time, please email me!

We won a Competition!

We were so excited to hear that we were the lucky winners from the fabulous Little Choopie Shop! The lucky prize was 2 x bobbies, 2 x pony tail holders, a larger ponytail holder and a necklace - and my little Miss nearly fainted with excitement at the site of them! There are so many beautiful fabrics to choose from, and they get lots of comments on how sweet they look!

Here she is wearing her Little Choopie Pony Tails (in Pale Pink Blossom fabric) - how pleased does she look?

A favourite of my two sweethearts

Kim — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 18:00:39 +0000

It’s not very often that I get an opportunity to photograph them both together, as they’re often busy doing their own things! It’s becoming more and more apparent to me that they’re picking out their own hobbies and favourite things, where they used to seem to enjoy doing the same stuff.

He is fast becoming a sports addict! I was watching him play footy in the backyard the other day, and I couldn’t help but chuckle when he encouraged his sister to “hug my back” (he was trying to get her to tackle him, AFL style!). She on the other hand was all “Why?!”. He explained to her gently that it was “how you play football”, he then quickly passed her the ball and laid a hearty tackle on her as an example. She of course was horrified!! Needless to say, she’s not that “into” footy now!

She would much rather play “Mummies”, and will plead with him “please play with me and be the Daddy”. He generally runs away and looks for his football!

This one has her with her hair curled, she loves me to do it for her on special occasions (actually she’d love me to do it all the time, but I’ve put my foot down!). I’m becoming quite adept with my hair straightener - who knew it could make such sweet wavy curls!!

It was lovely to catch up with an old friend and meet the newest addition to their sweet family - Miss Caitlyn.

She was lovely and peaceful, a joy to photograph - and this was despite her big sister Alicia and my Claire playing and having a blast around her!

Here is a sample of the images from the day to share.

Isn’t she just perfect?

And if big sister Alicia is anything to go by, I think Mum & Dad are going to have a pair of stunners! I can see them knocking back beaus with a stick in a few years!!

And full of personality too!

The lovely princesses together - so sweet!

A beautiful family

Thanks so much for having us guys, it was lovely to see you all! And Claire in particular had a fabulous time, she’s still talking about the fun she had with Alicia and of course her beautiful hair!!

My own special news (and kind of an excuse for being away for so long!), is that I can get as clucky as I like as I’ll be welcoming a new baby in October!! It’s been a very challenging pregnancy so far, but thankfully I’m finally starting to feel human again and am at the point where I’m able to enjoy my growing belly.

Take care,

I was lucky enough to meet this gorgeous miss recently! At 8 days old, she was so alert and so interested in everything happening around her - a real old soul!

Here’s a small selection of photographs of the beautiful Shayla, isn’t she divine!

Safe in Daddy’s arms

Thank you Matt & Chaute for sharing your beautiful baby with me, it was a pleasure to meet you!

You’ve met this sweet baby before, though you may not recognise her as last time she was a beautiful bump! Now introducing her earthside with her beautiful family.

Welcome Luisa, here’s a sneak peak of some of the photographs I took of your beautiful family Aaron, Nina & Ben

She really was an angel, sleeping soundly through much of the shoot - she really has such a peaceful soul, and I think she’s such a perfect complement to her caring family. It was a pleasure to photograph her, and Nina & Aaron were so lovely to welcome me into their beautiful home - Thank you! I will be in contact with you shortly to share with you the rest of the photographs.

Kind Regards, Kim - Adelaide Family Photographer

fourth day of january, princess bride

She was given a beautiful barbie dress and veil as a Christmas present from lovely friends, it is now her favourite dressup! Thanks Jordan & Ky! Big brother was also very impressed with his cricket set

Second Day of January

kimgrantham — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:41:13 +0000

A gorgeous sunny day in Adelaide, perfect for a family outing!

My darling daughter was happy to twirl in her pink tutu skirt and parasol for a walk, though after spotting a rather large brown snake sunning in some bushes the walk became slightly more attentive. There’s nothing like a snake sighting to put a sombre mood on the walk! Thankfully an iceblock later cheered everyone up

Holiday Fun

kimgrantham — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:35:47 +0000

Last year I did a challenge where I took at least a photo a day for the entire month of January. I enjoyed it so much and thought it was such a great memory of our Summer holidays, so I’ve decided to do it again. So I’ll share a few of the happenings in the Grantham household as the month goes along!

First Day of January

For Christmas, Grandma gave the children a sweet stove and sink combo for their cubby house. We’ve decided to keep them inside for a while over the summer so they can enjoy them more out of the heat. Needless to say I’m forever drinking cups of “tea” and sampling some awesome playdough dishes at the moment - they’ve been a real hit!

The other lovely thing about the gifts is that they were handmade by a charity group that runs activities for people with special needs - www.encountercentre.com.au/ They did a great job making them, they’re lovely and sturdy

Pregnant and Glowing - a sneak peak

kimgrantham — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:21:24 +0000

Gorgeous, glowing, nurturing a little baby who I can’t wait to meet, it was lovely to photograph Nina, doesn’t she look amazing!

The big question will be, will this baby be having his/her first Christmas this year or next year?!

This baby is going to have a gentle, loving big brother, this little guy has a very peaceful soul.

There are many more beautiful images from this session, it was hard to settle on just a few to share.

Nina, thank you for the opportunity to photograph you. I will have the rest of the photos to you shortly. Enjoy the end of your pregnancy xxx
