Oh Boy!

June 11th, 2010

A little bit of cuteness for a Friday afternoon:



The Grandkids

May 2nd, 2010

My Mum always bemoans the fact that she has a photographer for a daughter but very few photos of her grandchildren. So she put in a special order…..a nice portrait of all the grandchildren together. Shouldn’t be too hard right? Wrong. Hard. It’s hard enough to get three of my own cooperating for a shot. Add a pair of 2yo’s (No, they’re not twins) and a baby. Pure chaos. But here it is. I hope you like it Mum! Big print coming your way.

Beach Session

April 30th, 2010

This session very nearly didn’t happen due to illness, weather, and flights in and out of the country. What a lovely afternoon it turned out to be though! Thanks Jeanine and family for having me along. And to Sydney for it’s amazing beauty of course.

So lovely to see this little guy one year on as a mobile toddler with a penchant for adventure…here he was as a most adorable, but very alert newborn Sweet Baby Boy

Sweet Baby Jack

April 10th, 2010

A little bit of gorgeousness:

Is he not the most adorable thing ever?

(Except for my own children of course!!)

Puppy Love

March 9th, 2010

Well, they say never work with kids or animals, but never one to shy away from a challenge I put out the call recently for a few dogs to come and model in the studio. My first puppy shoot was a baptism by fire, this little Labrador puppy was quite the bundle of energy. Sash, you’re gorgeous! So gorgeous that I had a little trouble narrowing down my favourites…

And you know what? It was a bit of fun! Hard work, a little frustrating perhaps, completely exhausting. But good. Next??

Pet Portraits

March 1st, 2010

I’ve put out the call for some dogs to act as portfolio models over the next week or two. If you have a seriously cool/cute/sweet/adorable/personality filled dog you’d like photographed please contact me and we’ll schedule a time. As thanks you will receive an 8″x12″ print of your favourite image.

In the meantime, here are a few feline images. This is the every adorable Lilly.

And very soon we will be adding Pet Portraits to our standard offerings here at Lisa Barnes Photography.

Sweet Thomas

February 24th, 2010

Congratulations to my lovely friends Therese & Pat on the arrival of their first child, the most adorable Thomas! He is simply gorgeous guys, well done.

Newborn Goodness

February 8th, 2010

Is there anything more beautiful than a newborn? It seems not. Congratulations Lynette & Mick on the safe arrival of Eli (at home no less, I take my hat off to you both!). He is simply gorgeous and it was a pleasure to meet & photograph him.

Australia Day 2010

February 7th, 2010

With last year’s Australia Day image splashed across Womans’ Day & New Idea, I set out this Australia day to catch some more fabulous images on the shores of Pittwater. I was thinking bright and colourful images of sunny skies, tattooed faces, crystal clear water….all of it! Of course Australia Day down on Pittwater had different ideas for me this year. It was drab and dull. The waters weren’t sparkling and the sun wasn’t shining. But what it was, was fun!

Now that image is my stand-out favourite for the day. I LOVE it. And here’s another, when all three kids got in for the fun and games:

Summer Holidays Challenge - Day 44 - January 22

January 24th, 2010

We’ve had an annoying patch of earth in front of the cubby house for ages. Awkward to mow. A cut off tree stump in the middle of it. Finally, it got a makeover.

How cool is their cubby house? One of the benefits of having a builder for a Dad. It’s got a kitchen, running water, electricity, an undercover sandpit & stairs up to a cool lookout. The kids spend a lot of time there.

Little miss serious. A little less than happy with an ear infection giving her grief.
