I am tapping away here very early on a rainy Saturday morning. My trip to Ballarat for an engagement session as been post-poned due to the wild weather, so me and my loves have found ourselves with a free Saturday together we weren’t expecting. We are all still in pj’s. Hot chocolates and coffees and toast and eggs have been had. The kids are on to game number 4 and I am blogging. Later we are getting the sewing machine out and making bookmarks for presents (to family reading this, you can act surprised if they happen to be included in your Xmas gift!).
I haven’t really sewn anything before. I bought a sewing machine when I became a mother, thinking idealistically that motherhood would involve much making of costumes (despite my awkward use of pins and needles). I made a few baby blankets — well… cut squares of material and hemmed the edges. And then the sewing machine was packed safely away… to be resurrected today, on this rainy quiet Saturday, to teach my darlings to sew 
And now, a beautiful family from a recent Sydney session. The next Sydney sessions will be in early 2012, so please drop me a line to me@angiebaxter.com.au if you are interested. x

I have a few images that I wanted to share from this beautiful wedding I photographed a few weeks ago. Meet the very happy… Jane and Ian.
I was deeply moved by the incredible relationships Jane and Ian have with their family and friends. The love that filled their space on their wedding day was bountiful and a testament to who they are.
Ian’s daughters surprised them during the ceremony with a song. They are not professional singers – but could be! It was one of the highlights of the day and I love Ian’s reaction.

Children have always found their way into our bed during the night. Jazzy stopped coming in around the time Will started. And then once Imi began her midnight visits, Will stayed put in his own bed. Two nights out of three we will find Imogen between us, and we sometimes wonder how on earth she got in there without us realising.
This morning the face that greeted me was this one. It has been so long since Will came into our bed that I couldn’t resist a quick snap. He looked so cosy and warm and snuggly. It was fortuitous that my camera was on the bedside table – I don’t usually sleep with it!
I am inspired for room decoration at the moment and am working on a reading corner (currently known as the washing dumping ground) and Will’s bedroom. To get the ball rolling I’ve had some New York prints made.
This shot has been printed on fine art paper – 30×20″. It looks truly incredible and I can’t wait to have it framed and hanging. The art paper has given each building a 3D effect.
And this photo I had printed as a poster that is now hanging above Will’s bed. x

During a recent session, this little love made a quick backstage costume change and gave an impromptu dance concert on her parent’s bed. Love! x
