Okay, this is a record number of images in a post for me…..I really don’t know what happened here so I apologise if its a tad too long to view … perhaps it was the 5 biscuits I smashed down as I was editing?  perhaps it was that I haven’t blogged for ages and now have, dare I say it! “BLOG GUILT”? yes this is something that affects photogs from time to time…have I blogged enough? when was my last blog post? will people like my blog? is anyone going to leave any comments? should I post the one of the kissing or the one of them holding hands on the blog?  aaarrrggghh it goes on and on…sometimes you find yourself blogging in your sleep lol !  okay I am exagerating a bit here now….so I am going to leave you with this 2011 wedding that my assistant Rachael kept bugging me to blog blog blog !!!!! so here it is:-)and all the lowdown on where to get this look:

Kylie - Thank you so much Maureen for being our wedding photographer. You made the day lots of fun and we felt very relaxed. The photos are so beautiful. We love how they are not posed and we love the natural light coming through. We are so happy with all shots you took.

Where there is love there is light and this gorgeous family had it by the bucket loads.  I don’t think I need to say anything else much here except enjoy and may your life have plenty of love, light and happiness.  Enjoy xx

Shayla - Beautiful Maureen. I love the one of mum and daughters noses touching and the 2nd large image from the bottom where they are all looking at bubs in the basket. So gorgeous!

Okay I admit I am not the best morning person on the planet !  there I said it…hide this post from my hubbie !   BUT sometimes things don’t go to plan { well actually the weather a LOT lately !} and we had to re-schedule this e session for Jessica and Ryan before they had to fly back home AND it went from a rainy Friday afternoon to this glorious sun shine filled Sunday morning.  So you see the point to me telling you all of this is that sometimes it is so worth it to go outside your comfort zone {yes that would be getting up at 5am on a Sunday for me !} and just running with it.  I am so glad we did and the result was this gorgeous morning light enveloping Jessica and Ryan as they posed for me during our session.  I am happy to report that I did get my morning shot of coffee albeit just a couple of hours later !!  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in April if its anything to go by their e session its going to be beautiful:-)Enjoy xx

Samantha - The light in these photos are spectacular. Gorgeous!

March 14, 2012 - 4:05 pm

Jessica Hallett - Wow we were SO happy with how our engagement photos turned out and really appreciate the early morning effort. Ryan and I had never had photos taken professionally before so we were a bit nervous about it but with Maureen’s bubbly personality (yes,even at 6am) we quickly relaxed into it and actually had a really fun morning. With the wedding only a few weeks away now it is fantastic to know we have chosen the right photographer who will add to the fun of the day and who we can trust to capture beautiful memories. Can’t wait!!! Thanks Maureen/ Life in Bloom xx

{une très belle famille }

Monday, March 5, 2012

I have to say last year seems like eons ago, I was doing so many weddings and amongst it all at the end of the year I was very fortunate to meet quite a few wonderful families all looking for some lovely family portraits leading up to christmas.  I feel terrible that up till this point I never got the chance to show off these beautiful people, blogging was just not something I had time for.  Well christmas has come and gone and the rain is certainly keeping things a little more quiet than usual so what better way to spend a rainy day than to catch up on featuring our wonderful portrait sessions.  I have to say I love all the wonderful clothes my families bring to their sessions…I have to restrain myself from going online and shopping searching for these goodies ….. If you would love a session just like this don’t hesitate to contact us, mothers day is just around the corner:-) till we meet again x

Marie - What a beautiful family – and yes, very nice outfits! I love your colour and processing on these. :)

March 5, 2012 - 5:00 am

Samantha - Love the way you’ve captured the girl’s skin tones and the colour of her eyes in the image in the third row of pictures, on the right. Super pretty!

March 5, 2012 - 7:03 pm

Melinda - Oh Maureen ! These are absolutely amazing with a capital A – i had forgotten about all these beautiful images other than the ones we purchased. Brought a tear to my eye seeing my lovely family. Teenage girls are hard work but this makes it all worthwhile ! You are so, so talented ! xo

Nic - What a beautiful family! You have so many gorgeous images of them. Love them all. xo

{ nicola + kendall – project warship }

Friday, February 24, 2012

Every now and then you get the urge to break free from the norm and do something for yourself.  I had eyed off this warship since it had docked on dry land in my favourite patch, ideas swirling in my mind to do a 1940′s inspired couple shoot, albeit a slightly modern version !   This glorious ship as far as can be told was originally used to assist wounded soldiers up rivers and streams in WWII.  I imagine she did us proud in her time on the sea and she now rests in a museum of sorts being restored faithfully by the good work of the Restoration Society that I am a proud member of {puff chest insert here !}  You will be able to view this ship coming up mid year and closer to the day I will be giving out those details so stay tuned.  In the meantime I hope you enjoy her and the shoot as much as I did x  and a BIG THANKYOU to Nicola and Kendall who volunteered to be my models on the day.
