The Little Princess, Who Didn’t Want Her Photo Taken

purdeylee — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:12:49 +0000

Once upon a time there was a Little Princess who nobody ever thought would have trouble getting her photograph taken. The photographer set up her big white backdrop and lights all at the princess’ castle, while the princess got into her beautiful new dress.

When it was time for the sitting to begin the Little Princess decided that she didn’t want her photo taken that day.
The King and Queen did all they could to convince their Princess to smile and remain on the backdrop when the family portrait was done, however she still didn’t want to. The photographer and parents used all her favorite toys, her favorite tv show and lots of tickles and giggles.

By the end of the sitting the photographer could only smile as she didn’t think that the Princess realized that she got as many photographs taken as she did.

In my opinion there is nothing more miraculous than the gift of new life. Although it is such a small fraction of their life it is a magical time in yours. Why not capture this moment so it can be remembered forever?

Impetus Dance Theatre has never failed to impress and this concert was no exception. Impetus took all their passengers (audience) on a wonderful traveling experience to MANY places on the globe… well kind of. Here are just a few memories that the passengers got to experience along the way.

Marli and Me

Once upon a time, a beautiful 18month old girl named Marli, stood in the middle of a big white backdrop. She soon realized that the flashing lights and backdrop were all set up just for her. Her mummy gently encouraged her to smile and the photographer suggested that she might like to lay on her tummy. Marli noticed that all attention was now on her, after this moment the show was all Marli.

Sisters and Sunday Smiles

This was a beautiful sunny day sitting in September.
It gave me such joy to take the girls out and capture them as they are, sisters. There were many giggles and silly moments in and amongst treasured memories that will be remembered whenever we look back over the images of the day.

Agapē (ἀγάπη agápē)

purdeylee — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 06:41:32 +0000

There is never a value you can place on family and the love it can have. This sitting was a joy, even when some didn’t want to have their photo taken. From tantrums to giggles, from studio to rain, this sitting will be remembered for a long time.

The love this family shows is what everyone would wish for. You cannot pick your family, but you wouldn’t ever want to if you got placed in this one.

Butterflies and Flowers

Oh this sitting was fun!
It is common for parents to have had portraits taken of older siblings and needing some of the newest arrival at the same age. That is what this sitting started off as.
The older siblings had had teddies and dollies surrounding them, so this little princess got butterflies and flowers. It was a reasonably quick paced sitting as the little one wanted to eat (the flowers and butterflies) and go play else where.
For future I have learned that I need to have the surroundings sewn down
For the very last couple of minutes I asked the brother and sister to jump in too, and they loved it.
Such a beautiful family and a very enjoyable sitting.

Beautiful in Black & White

There were so many giggles this sitting, that even looking back over the photos makes me smile.
Two beautiful girls, who’s parents wanted to capture them all, in the elegance of black and white.
There was a couple of images that the parents had of the older daughter (as a baby) that they wanted something similar done with the second daughter, now of that same age. With a little bit of a Purdey Lee touch we achieved this, as well as many more memories captured.
The two girls were wonderful and the little giggles and smiles will be remembered for a very long time.

Big Brother & Baby

purdeylee — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:14:44 +0000

This was a beautiful sitting held at my clients home. Where we played with trains, read some stories and even blew bubbles.
I tried not to make it too formal a sitting, as capturing the children as natural as I could was the main intention.
It was a whole lot of fun, and also very relaxed and I think it shows.

Nothing is the same as Big Brother love, and its there at the youngest of ages.
