MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

For those of you who follow my blog you may have noticed I have been a little quiet. My 2008 calendar has been closed for a few weeks now, luckily because I recently found out I am expecting baby #2!

My 2009 calendar is now open for bookings and to begin the new year I have had a slight price restructure to hopefully be more affordable in this economic climate. Please contact me at chrissytorney@hotmail.com for further information.

In the next week or so I will be announcing my new Blog Competition - so stayed tuned for that announcement.

Lastly - for anyone wondering why they should choose Custom Portrait Photography over the well know Retail chains - I urge you to read this document here so that you may understand why I am so passionate about what it is I want to create for you.

So as we approach Christmas and the New Year - let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me over the past 10 months. Thanks for believing and me and for mostly allowing me the pleasure of photographing your family.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sneak Peek - Max {Melbourne Child Photographer}

I had the pleasure of shooting 2 year old Max today. I work with his Mum and he also goes to daycare with my daughter Paige.
We had so much fun together, chasing bugs and looking for pirates treasure! Max enjoys a chat and we had a great time driving around Williamstown looking for some older buildings.
Brooke and Jeremy - It was a pleasure taking your portraits today. I see so much of your Dad in Max - cheeky bugger! He has such a wonderful sense of humour!

{Sneak Peek Part I} - Trent {Melbourne Child Photographer}

If you asked my husband what it is I complain about the most since moving from Sydney to Melbourne, he would say 'The Damn Werribee Winds" - aaaaand he would be right! Today I had the pleasure of meeting little Trent - who was not happy having his photo taken in the strong winds down at the beach. It wasn't a very nice day today so we are going to reshoot - however I did manage to catch some cute moments of Trent when he wasn't telling me how much he hated those damn Werribee Winds too!!

{Sneak Peek} - Sair, Zoe and Scarlette {Melbourne Family, Child and Baby Photographer}

I had the pleasure over the weekend to shoot this crazy bunch of girls!! We ended up at the Japanese Gardens in Campbeltown which was a lovey spot, but restricted by aweful, bright orange council tape!! Next time I will just sneak it down then pop it back up ;) Zoe really is a little firecracker and delighted in prooving how hungry she was by showing me her empty belly button! Scarlette is devine and has an amazing set of peepers, so laid back and easy to shoot. Sair - I am still on the hunt for any wilderbeasts however I think we were safe in the gardens. I feel like I have my mojo back - thanks Sair for the opportunity to shoot you and your family. I hope I have captured what it was you were looking for!

Pirate Adventure & Soggy Nappy {Paige}

Today marked two very special occasions.

1. Finally got to take some photos of my daughter Paigey that didn't include her running away from the camera as fast as she could. I might just have gotten that wall worthy shot?

AND


2. Paigey's first swim in the ocean for the season, albeit impromptu!


I decided with such lovely weather to take Paige on one of our little adventures so off we headed to Willy to hunt for special treasure.


After searching the gardens high and low we decided to head across to the beach as maybe we would have better luck there!


Instead of looking for treasure as planned Paigey decided to dip her toes in the water...but then proceeded to belly flop, bathtime style, into the ocean.


Needless to say she didn't need and bribes to get her out of the water. It was still a tad cold and I could see she was a little shocked that it wasnt nice and warm, like her bath is.


Lucky photog Mummy had a spare change of clothes in her camera bag!!


On the walk back we finally found our treasure.

pine cones!

Paige decided THESE were 'pwetty Mummy' and proceeded to try and carry 3-4 in her little hands back to the car.


What an adventure!!

May your weekend be full of them!!

Sneak Peek - Mini Shoots - October 4th 2008 {Melbourne Family, Child and Baby Photographer}

Sneak Peek - Ella {Melbourne Newborn Photographer}

Aaaaaah, well what do you know. ANOTHER newborn who didn't want to be undressed or sleep!


Cute and georgous anyway. You might remember I did her Mummy's maternity shoot a few months back under the big trees in Willy Gardens (Georgie).


Welcome to the world Miss Ella!

Sneak Peek - Megan, Andrew, Jack and Lewis {Melbourne Newborn Photographer}

I have decided I must be cursed. I have yet to shoot a newborn who wants to sleep whilst I am there!!
Today I had the pleasure of being welcomed into the Powell family home to capture their new addition to their family. Lewis is only 5 days old and his big brother is 16 months old. I have no idea how Megan and Andrew were able to stay awake for me to take their portraits!!
I hope you enjoy your sneek peak!
