My name is Natalie and this is my blog. I am a busy busy mother of three boys, a wife to one, living on acreage in Sydney and an enthusiastic photograher. I've created this blog as a place where you can catch sneak peeks of recent sessions, find out whats new with us and catch a peak of life with three boys. It is also a place where I can see my own photography grow and develop. Who knew that my part time job in the photo shop when I was a teenager would evolve into this? I did. I've always loved photography and luckily I'm at a point in my life that allows me (time permitting) to do what I love.
Anyway, enough rambling, thanks for visiting my blog and please feel free to leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you. If you need to contact me, send an email to photosbynatalie@bigpond.com

After weeks of waiting, talking about it, to and froing choosing a name, she is finally here!!
This is our girl Stella, 8 weeks old, chubby and oh so cute. She has the boys wrapped around her fingers and toes already, and has worked out that if she hides under the back steps that they can’t get to her. So funny, she just runs away and hides because they are just so over excited that they won’t leave her alone.
Here she is.

My poor baby Lucas! We have always been aware that Lucas is not a fan of eggs. He would lick the beaters covered in cake mix and bring them straight back and make me clean his tongue, stuff like that, but we did not know about this.
He dropped and cracked an egg on the floor and was guiltily attempting to clean it up with nice clean tea towels when I found him, so I sent him on his way and cleaned it properly, as a good mother does.
Then he cried out for me on the lounge and this is what I found, my baby Lucas disguised as an elephant!! This is as bad as it got luckily but its a trip to the doctors for a referral to the allergy specialist for us I think.

L and R (and their three beautiful kids). Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to take photos of you and your lovely family. It was heaps of fun wasn’t it!! Though I do have to apologise for my terrible terrible signing voice, but it was a special request from D so it was worth it.
Here is your sneak peek, hope you love them.

Rachael, it was great to see you on the weekend and be given the chance to take photos of one of your lovely girls. Hope they make you smile.

A couple of weeks ago my sister who lives in QLD came to visit with her husband and two girls. We haven’t seen them for over a year and it was so good to catch up with all of them though their visit was way too short.
While they were here I attempted to get a photo of all 10 grandkids in one photo!! It was a disaster. You can imagine about 10 adults standing around trying to get all these kids together, to look at the camera, but instead they all look in different directions, move constantly and block each other out of the photo etc etc.
I did however manage to get some really great shots of my beautiful girls, Mackenzie and Neave together, and also some pics of all the girl grandkids together.
So Kelly, enough whingeing, here they are!!
Love Nat xx
Nicole and Simon
What can I say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE hairy headed babies (reminds me of Roan) and makes me a little bit clucky I have to admit!
Thank you for letting me cuddle your newest addition, baby Mason, little brother to two very proud big brothers!! Welcome to the 3 boys club.
I couldn’t help myself, I’ve been neglecting the kids (and Christian) because I was so keen to have a play with these photos, so I hope you like what I’ve done so far.
And I apologise for the sneak peek being 11 photos but I couldn’t decide, love too many of them.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of being invited to my youngest cousins wedding to her lovely bloke Luke. She looked absolutely beautiful and Luke had eyes only for his girl.
I have to say though that I know that she is all grown up, but it is still a shock seeing her getting married and looking so radiant and self assured (I’m sure it’s just me feeling old, because now that she’s an adult it means I’m older than I like to admit) and so many of my memories are of Carly as a child.
Anyway, enough reminissing, it was a lovely lovely night, I only pissed off the official photographer once that I know of and got to catch up with all my extended family, so great night all round.

My sister Sharon came over yesterday with her 5 kids, put them with my 3 and it makes absolute chaos!!! Kids are hard enough to photograph as it is but when Aunty Nat (or mum) has the camera pointed at them, its an excuse to give me a hard time.
It was a great day, heaps of food, lots of kids running around yelling, boys riding moto’s, CJ stacking off the moto and plenty more.
I’ve put just a few of the crazy ones in here, the kids are sooo funny.
