Miss D's maternity & newborn shoot!

I had the absolute pleasure of doing both a maternity and newborn shoot for this gorgeous lady and her family over the one month. The maternity shoot was fairly close to her due date so we were crossing our fingers that things didn't happen earlier than planned, and our wishes came true! As a result we were able to get some stunning images of her beautiful bump both in studio and outdoors. Hope you enjoy ...

A couple of weeks later, gorgeous little Miss D arrived and we were able to do a shoot with the entire family. How scrumptious is she!

And I couldn't finish up without getting a few images of her just as adorable older sister in her favourite outfit!

September mini-sessions

For the first time ever I am offering special "mini-sessions" for portrait bookings during the month of September. Sessions will be held in St Kilda East and are $295. Each session will last 20 mins and you will receive 20 images on disc in both colour and black and white so you can either choose to order prints through me or do your own. You will also receive a beautiful slideshow of images from your session.

Fantastic as a gift for Father's Day (give dad something he will treasure more than socks and jocks!) or use it as a great opportunity to get in early for Christmas presents. Call me on 0407 366 801 if you have any questions or would like further details. I can only take a limited number of bookings so be quick if you don't want to miss out!

Milk crates & balloons!

I had so much fun doing this shoot! I wanted to take some images using a location near my new home in East St Kilda, and my friend Deb needed some family shots so off we went! Her two cute-as-pie nieces joined us with their mum and dad and together we all had a ball. It took us a while to get going because Deb's gorgeous boy decided he wanted to do the entire shoot upside down, but once we got him righted up things really got moving! In fact once the kids got hold of the balloons it was kinda hard to make them stop ... :)

Note - shameless friend plug: In addition to being one of my dearest friends, Deb is also one of the most talented women I know and often helps me out with design and marketing for my business. Not only that but she is also an amazingly talented facepainter. She has her own website so if you are looking for a designer, or a facepainter for a kid's party, check her out:www.debbiewood.com.au. You might remember seeing some cute shots of her son that I took for her pacepainting business on my blog earlier this year here.

New home for Fi Mims Photography!

Wow, what a month it's been! I have been busy moving house so the weeks have gotten away from me and I haven't posted for a while. After five fun years living amongst the trees in leafy North Warrandyte, my family has picked up and moved house to East St Kilda. Whilst I miss the trees, I am loving being back in the inner suburbs, surrounded by great parks, cafes (my caffeine intake has gone up dramatically in the last month!) and people! However I am most excited by the fantastic photography locations I now have at my fingertips such as the beach, parks, and some very cool alleys. There are endless awesome spots which I am dying to get my camera down to! I have a few portraits coming up in the next few weeks where I plan to use some so stay tuned ...

For now, some images from a few of the shoots that have been keeping me busy over the past month. Enjoy!

Almost there ...

This gorgeous lady was in her 38th week for this shoot so we were crossing our fingers she wouldn't go early! She didn't, and we managed to get some stunning images. I love this first one in particular ...
