They’re finally here! Last weekend we photographed Renee and her wonderful little Liana Banana. It was so much fun and I’m inspired now to do Fashion Portrait Sessions with other kids now too!! Never really thought of it before so thank you Renee and Liana!
Without further ado… Renee and Liana…

We started out at one of the old observatories at Mount Stromlo that had been devastated in a fire in 2003.




Liana showed us her creative side in the interesting rock formations and castles built inside the observatory.


Renee brought their favorite orange chair from Newcastle and so we brought it into the observatory for a few shots. Love the bright color against the white walls. We also had the advantage of it being quite windy up there – it made for fantastic hair pickups!



Time for a wardrobe change.

I couldn’t help but take a few candid action shots too

Then we hopped around the corner for a few pics outside in front of the new observatory and along the ledge.



Even the Kangaroos cooperated and came out for the shoot. I believe Liana was inspired at this point ….

…and then tried out her Next Top Model Pose. Love it!


A few more candids….


Liana was a starlet at this point… saying her farewells to the paparazzi.

Thanks ladies for such a fun afternoon!! And to Mikey and Christine for scouting, shooting, helping carry models, and all your help! And thanks Renee for giving us your insights into being on the other side of the camera!
