When Sandra asked me if I could take some photographs of her older boys as well as her gorgeous newborn, I was more than happy to.
Mason and Ethan are just great kids, full of energy and always smiling.
Both were very photogenic and a pleasure to work with.
I also got to catch up on watching some Terminator 3 while Christian had a feed too !
Sandra & Leon, here’s a few shots of them from the afternoon, hope they have captured the essence of your boys.

The adorable, cute and cuddly Christian !
He’s going to have to battle to keep up with his older brothers, but from the way I saw they cared for and were with him, he’s in good hands.
Congrats again Sandra and Leon, you’ve got such a beautiful little boy.

Meet the handsome, little Lawrence !
Lawrence is just bursting with energy. Walking everywhere, exploring everything and starting to run, keeping mum and dad on their toes over 2 acres ~ and me trying to keep up with him to take photos !
Thanks Tina & Phil, hope you like the shots. → Link to Your Album

Chenelle ~ full of life and all smiles, an absolute pleasure to work with.
Chenelle loved being in front of the camera, as most kids do; with those beautiful big brown eyes and smile, I can see why !
I’m glad I was able to get a shot of her in front of the vibrant pink wall, pink is her favourite colour, as you could probably tell ! As well as a few on the swing, her favourite playground equipment. Hopefully they will be a great reminder of her childhood for her to look back on when she’s older.
Thanks Dennis and Cheryl for your kind hospitality, those cuppas went down well, hope you like the photos

Jared, Great job with Chenelle's photos. Lovely shots, they all are lively and natural. I am sure it is not ...
Thanks Dennis & Cheryl, I'm so glad you like them. Thank you for the lovely comment :-)
Meet the adorable and energetic Sasha and her angelic big brown eyes !
Sasha greeted me at the front door with a huge grin, she knew exactly what I was there for. It’s so funny how young kids know about cameras and sometimes love posing. One thing I love about these sessions is how every now and then I get to see something special ~ today I got to witness Sasha ride her tricycle for the first time.
She played her favourite song “baa baa black sheep” for us on her pink piano, had a grin from ear to ear while down at the park and just loved posing on dad’s motorbike. I can see your going to have a hard time keeping her from wanting to ride the bike when she gets older, Raj.
Thanks Raj and Romina for being so welcoming ! → Link to Your Album

Today I had the privilege of photographing the absolutely gorgeous Ashlyn Paige.
One of the most alert bubs I have ever met, she didn’t doze off the whole time I was there, constantly alert and interested in everything I was doing…I can see she’s going to be an very active kid
I witnessed some special moments, she had a kiss for her mum which I managed to catch, as well as some gorgeous smiles.
Thanks so much Melanie and Darren for choosing me to photograph your beautiful bundle of joy, congratulations again on your first, so happy for you both !

In 1989, Kel Boynton established a family owned winery in the beautiful town of Porepunkah, in Victoria’s Alpine Region. The winery is now aptly named “Feathertop” after the nearby mountain which is a commanding feature in this Alpine region. Mt Feathertop has been attributed to sheltering the valley and influencing the air currents in the region. It also has had an impact on the rich soil structure in which the grapes are grown, as well as providing fresh Alpine spring water for the vineyard.
“Like all great success stories, the story of the birth of Boynton’s Feathertop Winery is filled with passion, adventure, disappointment and fear but above all strength, determination and an individuals belief in his dream despite the odds.”
“Feathertop Wines captures the essences of nature and the beauty and crispness of the Alpine Valleys which surround the wine” (from the Feathertop Wines website)
Kel & Janelle Boynton have a Wine Club called “Summit Cru” which I am a member of. Each quarter I receive a dozen of Kel’s selected wines ~ which I always look forward to!
Below are a few photos I’ve taken from autumn and summer at Feathertop. I have the first autumn photo “Bright Red Path” printed on extra large canvas in my lounge room, which I love.
The last photo in the set I named “Feathertop” and is one of my favourites as the wispy clouds look like feathers above the “Feathertop” vineyard.
