I met up with these gorgeous guys yesterday in their local park…
I mentioned to their mum that her baby daughter may find herself with a little bit of a problem when she grows up and wants to start dating – i.e., her protective brothers! It was so amazing to see how much these boys doted on heir little sister, and how they take care of her spontaneously, without having to be asked/told!
I was also struck by how well behaved they were, again, no running around like a lunatic, we just hung out, and they listened to everything I said (can we bottle this and market it maybe?)
The session wasnt without action of course – we had the wet paint incident where all the benches in the park had been painted brown but the ‘wet paint’ sign had blown off the first row of benches, and mummy sat down on one of them….no, I didnt get a photo of that 
Nor did i get photo of the loopy dog who escaped his owner and bounded towards Baby M (who was as cool as a cucumber and totally unfazed by the incident)
Little Baby M was a total star for the whole session actually- she woke up from a nap a couple of minutes after i arrived, totally refreshed and ready to perform! Mum & boys made it so easy for me, entertaining her with bizarre animal/people noises (”how does a mad scientist go?” – thats a new one!)
It was great seeing you all, hope you enjoy the sneak peeks, cant wait to show you the full set next week!…..
Absolutely love them. Totally gorgeous!!

So, my first beach session in Israel! I was so excited for this one, lots of fun stuff planned (too much actually and not enough time!)
I went down to the beach to check out the area a few hours before we were due to meet. I was greeted by what looked like fog, only it was 23℃ outside, so why on earth would there be fog!? Anyway, never mind that, how on earth was i meant to get my images of the children frolicking on the beach with a thick mist surrounding the whole beach area! I grabbed some poor, innocent bystander next to me and ask ed him what on earth it was, what it thought it was doing appearing on the day i had a shoot scheduled, and when it was planning on disappearing! This very kind man assured me that it was some kind of weird mist from the sea & that it would all be cleared up as soon as the sun was out for a few hours.
Thankfully he was spot on, and by the time we got down to the beach, the weather was just great! The kids were really fabulous – we spent 2 hours on the beach and they only really collapsed at sunset And look what we got….
Cartwheels…
Giggles…
Embraces…
Upside-down-ness…
Guitar coolness…
Pure fun…
Gazing out to sea…
I could go on & on, really, like this….
but I have to end somewhere! Guys, you were all complete rockstars, and I had a LOT of fun with you! Thank you!
Surprise for daddy!

This session was very special! It was my first booking in Israel and it was also a surprise for the daddy’s birthday. I don’t think i have ever come across two such gorgeous, cooperative children!
I am so used to running around a park/back garden/studio, chasing after the kids to get my shots. These two just stayed still and did everything I ask of them. Totally threw me.
I asked their mummy what the secret is and she promised that she’s going to let me know 
…
I found these great ‘iced cookies’ in the shape of letters & numbers, and i bought the numbers 4 & 0 (daddy’s age, secret’s out now). Turns out there was no cookie, just icing….
Thought mum was going to kill me but she was very cool about the whole extreme food coloring and sugar rush situation…
Thanks guys for a fantastic start to my career here in Israel.
Truly gorgeous kids! Lucky Dad they have.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this session – it really was amazing!
We flew kites,
we did press ups,
we blew bubbles, did hugs, jumped, picked dandelions, chalked on the ground..
and best of all, made pig faces (my fave)…
The boys were such fun and the images all came out so well that I had nearly 200 that I LOVED! I usually present my clients with around 30-40 images, but this session was so hard to whittle down! And to top it all, mom’s headshot – stunning!!
I just had to blog this..

My session with Missy L was back in May of this year, but back then i didnt have this fabby new site to blog on (and back then I was already in crazy moving country mode and just couldnt find the time to blog it anyhow!)
Missy L and her mom had this session all to themselves on MOTHER’S DAY! It was so gorgeous just seeing the two of them cuddling, giggling and playing together in their backyard. Missy L really is the queen of crazy faces, she was so hilarious (as well as being breath takingly beautiful too..) I wanted to post my top 20 but that was a little obsessive, so I have narrowed it down to two collages…
We have a winner!
